Principal new provisions in clude: 1. Lum^ ‘'um payments. 2. Insurance available to all veterans up to $10,000 whether they had previous NSL Insurance or not. 3. Unrestricted beneficiary clause even to make corporations or estates beneficiaries. 4. Total disability payments up o $50 a month. As originally issued the perma nent policies provided in NSLI were: ordinary life, on which the policy holder pays for as long as he lives; 20-payment life, on which premiums are paid for only 20 years; and 30-payment life. In addition to these types of policies the amendment provides for 20-year endowment policies, endowment at the age of 60, and endowment at the age 65. On all of these endowment policies the premiums must be paid for the in dicated length of time, at the ex piration of which the face of the poliejf may be paid to a veteran. Those veterans who have convert ed their term insurance to one of the previously authorized plans, are permitted under the amend ments to change to one of the endowment plans. All persons who served in the armed forces between October 8, 1940 and September 2, 1945 are entitled to NSLI in any amount up to $10,000. If the applicant has only $8,000, he may get $2,000 more. He may have no NSL In surance at all—He may get up to $10,000. The veteran may assigrt benefi- ciarys interest to specified rela- j tives of the insured, or he may i designate any person or persons, corporation, or his estate as bene ficiary in the policy. Under the provisions settlement of any policy may be made in a single lump sum to beneficiaries, or the veteran may elect for pay-' ments to be made in equal monthly installments varying at his desire from 36 to 240 months. } Total disability payments under the new provisions mean that n veteran who is totally disabled for as long as six months is paid at the rate of $50 a month on a $10,- 000 policy, or $5 a month for each one thousand.

Due to faulty visual technique the test wasn’t the phen omenal success It was intended to be, but it did serve its purpose in that witnesses were able to discern the wide possibilities for this new field which once seemed so far away ...

A brief chat with Paul Mowrey, director of television at ABC,' brought to light some interesting facts about this broadening project. Television sets, selling from $150- $350. will be on sale in September... So far only six cities. Chicago, New York, Albany. Philadelphia, Los An geles. and Washington, are prepared to handle the project. • • • a jsrv.v s LeZKr ■»- Five Years to Go Rural areas within 70 miles of these cities will benefit ... There after, other ciUes will be gradually added, but the procedure will likely be slow. It may be two years before 50% of rural America will be beamed in, and five years for the entire country. Reasons for the delay is the cost involved in the construc tion and production of television.... It is $250,000 for a small station .. . and the transmission of a radio sig nal Is limited to only 70 miles. Programs in the television world will be geared to the public’s think ing and demands. Probably the most promising development will be the witnessing of nation-wide news hap penings ... you’ll be at the scene of holocausts, floods, etc. ...

Sounds Utopian, but it’s real. X ■ * ‘jfc'n- w ( t— By MARY E. DAGUE Author of Sister Mary’s Kitchen. L ONG before canning was devel oped for the home and com mercially qur grandmothers stored food for winter use by the drying process. Both fruits and vege tables were dried and stored away in a “dark room” that was also cold and perfectly dry and planned es pecially for this purpose. So the only thing new about drying is found in the splendid food driers on the market today. We needn’t improvise our equipment as those grandmothers did because there are several types of driers available. Aside from the comforting as surance that dried foods keep * perfectly there are other good reasons for taking care of sur- jj plus fruits and vegetables by the drying process. Dried foods take up a minimum of storage space, j The drying process is very simple j to follow. There is no danger of loss by spoilage. ! Unless you have a steam pressure cooker for canning or store in a quick-freeze locker, the only safe way to put up com for winter use is to dry it. * AU fruits and vegetables most be fresh and in prime condition i —young, tender and of first * quality. Just as in canning, dry- ■ i ing fails to improve the quality J j of the food so be very careful* in the selection of your products. *■ The first thing to do is to wash and clean whatever fruit or vege table you plan to dry. Then comes the blanching, cold-dipping, drain ing and spreading on trays for dry- ing. - * D To dry corn, husk and remove I silk from ears. Put in a square \ of cheese cloth, take up the four ^ corners and plunge into a bigji pan of boiling water for three %) minutes. Then plunge the vege- : j table, still in the cheesecloth V square, into a big pan of cold '? water and keep it there for thirty >) seconds. Now cut the com from the cob using a sharp knife and being care ful not to cut too deep. Spread on trays and let dry until crisp and brittle. Stir occasionally as it dries and when perfectly dry store in an air tight container, I -»» THANK YOU lor waiting for delivery of your NEW CHEVROLET We are doing our best to see that r you get your new car as quickly as possible \ ('•member—Our CAR-SERVICE it your best CAR-SAVER. Keep your present cv "alive" until you get delivery of your new Chevrolet by bringing it to ut for skilled service now and at regular intervals. We want to thank our customers and pro spective customers for your friendly patience while awaiting your new Chevrolets. .We know it is a hardship to wait for needed transportation; but we believe you will understand that we, and Chevrolet, are as eager to deliver cars as you are to obtain them. Unfortunately, production so far this year is far under expectations. Chevrolet Motor Division sums up the situation thus: **Even though our rate of production normally exceeds that of any other manufacturer, we have been able to build, up to July 1, only 12.4 per cent as many cars as we had built up to that date in 1941. Production is stiH far below normal, because of fre quent shortages of essential mate rials and parts. Strike after strike at the plants of our suppliers has seriously impeded our progress toward full production, and the cumulative effect severely hampers every manu facturing and assembly plant. In June we were able to build only 29.2 per cent as many cars as we produced in the same month in 1941.” ’ While production is restricted, so—in proportion—are shipments of cars to us. As production increases, we are assured of getting our proportionate share of the total—and as quickly as cars are received, we will speed deliveries to our customer** j. McGrath motor company, inc.
