THE CLOTHMAKER New Disability Clause For Gl Insurance More than 5,000,000 World War II and Korean conflict veterans who hold GI life insurance may now attach a new type of total disability income provision to their policies for a small additional premium cost. Under Public Law 85-678? which becomes effective on 1 November ? policyholders who become totally disabled before reaching age 60 and while the new clause is in effect will receive an income of $10 a month for each $1,000 face amount of their policies. Those veterans who have $10,000 policies would thus receive $100 monthly disability pay. (A similar clause formerly granted $5 monthly for each $1,000 of insurance.) Payments under the clause begin after the total disability has existed for six consecutive months and continue for the duration of the disability, regardless of its length. No payment may be made for disabilities incurred after reaching age 60 and, of course, no premium is made for this benefit after the veteran reaches age 60. Premium cost of the total disability provision varies according to the policyholder's age, type of policy, and its face amount. A typical example would be that of a 40-year-old veteran with a $10,000 NSLI term policy. He would pay $1.60 monthly for the new clause; if he became totally disabled, he would receive $100 monthly. You may obtain complete information about the new total disability income provision from any Veterans' Administration office. Is Th is The 'Good Old Days'? An office manager in Boston, Mass., was cleaning out an old file and came across the office rules of 1872. He wanted to read them to his office force but they were all out on one of the day's several coffee breaks. The rules are printed to give some idea of what the "Good Old Days" were like. 1. Office employees each day will fill lamps, clean chimneys and trim wicks. Wash windows once a week. 2. Each clerk will bring in a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the day's business. 3. Men employees will be given an evening off each week for courting purposes. 4. After 13 hours of labor in the office, the employee should spend the remaining time reading his Bible. 5. Every employee should lay aside from each pay day a goodly sum of his earnings for his benefit during his declining years, so that he will not become a burden on society. fi. Any employee who smokes Spanish cigars, uses liquor in any form, or frequents pool and public halls, or pets shaved in a barber shop, will pive pood reason to suspect his worth, intentions, inteprity, and honesty.
