“Oet me this man’s namfc so that I
ran report definitely on the status of
his Insurance.” ^ k - , *
That, together with n slip hearing
the memo, ‘‘James Hall, 1,505)
McCall, South Carolina. Beneficiaries:
Mrs. Ella Stalks (wife). Mrs*. Eannie
Stalks (mother),” was handed to a file
searcher in the bureau of war risk In
surance.
The man’s name was given ns Hall,
while those of his wife and his mother
were given ns Stalkhr J’atently,
something was wrong somewhere. Just
what was wrong, however, wits not so
evident. To find out what and where
the error was. was the job.
Finding the error aOmelHidjr else
made Is always the job of the war
rt«k Index file searchers, and It's a
tough job If they fall to get at the
bottom of It.
flolng Intn the Index file* sect loo
where are listed the names of nearly
fl«e million men who were Indnrted
Into military
the bureau from an army camp, and
ended as follows:
‘‘Respectfully,
‘‘Private‘Divls Spruce,
Hastings, Pa.”
Miss Blue Sweater was assigned to
the letter with Instructions to secure
the-man’s poficy number that certain
information requested as to the stand
ing of Ids insurance might be furnish
ed him.
The name of Divls Spruce could not
be found In the files. Then came the
time for Imagination and deduction.
No matter how the name was split to
make some-other plausible name, the
files could not produce results.
Finally the -young woman decided
to address a letter to the man at Hast
ings. Pa., requesting him to furnish in
formation about himself. In due time
the letter was returned to the bureau
ip unclaimed. •
This did not put an end tnf the
searrh hy any means. Iningirtat|«»n
and deduction again were brought int°
the cBMy and a further study of the
In the files and was turned over to one
of the cleverest searchers. Since the
man’s address was given as North Da
kota, she assumed, In view ofythe fftft
that there were many Indians listed
from that state, that his must he ah
Indian name. She immediately added
Thunder to his name and found the.,
record card as Andrew Good Thun
der. in less than three minutes after
she had been asked to fend her aid.
Carelessness or unavoidable haste in
fwriting up insurance applications on
the Form 1-B, by which a man enter
ing the service requests or disclaims
government allowance to dependents,
and failure to include complete Identi
fying information in a letter of in
quiry'. constitute the largest/single
cause in the bureau’s delay in answer
ing mail.
- Any letter addressed to the bureau
on any matter pertaining to a service
man should contain his name In full—
first, last, and middle; It should state
his rank and organization at the time
‘‘Form 1-B” was filed, or at- the* time
insurance application was made; his
present home address and former ad-
diyaa lf*the nddreks has been changed;
the firs), tnlddle and last name of his
heneflrlary. and present and former
