ins NEWBERRY BUN CONTACT BY RUTH D. ARMFIELD A few days ago, Mr. Mac (that’s Mr. McWhirter, c ur Veterans Contact Man) said “Miss A., do you know there are disabled veterans who don’t realize they can get a waiver of pre miums on their NSLI?” (NSLI is G. I. lingo for National Service Life Insurance.) This doesn’t mean, of course, that every disabled veteran can get a waiver, but those who are totally disabled, and have no means of earning an income are eligible, providing their total disability is for a period of more than six months. If any veteran reading this has had a “continuous total disability for 6 or more consecutive months”, get in touch with the Contact Office. Mr. Mac Wdl be glad to impart more complete information about this mat ter, and fix up a “Statement of Claim for Waiver of Premiums.” You know, that’s another grand feature of NSLI. At any time in the fu ture you might be unable, because of physical disability, to pay your in surance premiums for a period of more than six months, such prem iums can be waived, whether your in surance is still term policy or wheth er you have converted it. The way I talk insurance, one would thing the government pays me a commission to sell it! But that’s one reason NSLI is such good insur ance—there is no profit made; no agents commissions to pay; and even Commercial life insurance com panics recommend veterans t* hang on to it. I believe most of the Newberry veterans have taken care of a very important matter—that of having their discharges recorded. In case any of you haven’t, do it right away —then if you should ever lose your original discharge papers, you will 'be able to get a certified copy. Mr. Jake Wise, Newberry County Serv ice Officer, wil be glad to take care of this if you’ll stop by his office on the 5th floor, Exchange Bank Build ing. While I was working in Congress man Kunkel’s office, we had letters from a number of veterans concern ing hospitalization. It seems that, because of emergency, these veterans entered private hospitals for treat ment, being unable to get int 0 a vet erans hospital in sufficient time. When they made a claim for reim bursement of hospital expenses they found that they could not be reimbursed because they had not notified the VA within 24 hours that they were jn a private hospital. This is something worth remembering by both veterans and their families. If a veteran is admitted to a private hos pital in case 0 f emergency, he should be sure to notify the nearest VA Regional Office (Columbia, in this state). If he js unable to do so, his physician or family should. Keep ing this in mind may save many a headache in the future. Some veterans tell us that they have been unsuccessful in trying to obtain business loans from banks or lending agencies. Perhaps you are not aware of the fact that, in the event you should be unable otherwise to obtain a business loan, you may file an application directly v'th the * Loan Agency of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, 317 South Try- on street, Charlotte, 2, N. C. We’ve ordered a supply of application forms for your convenience, and although we have not yet received them, ex pect their receipt in a few days. Miscellany . . . the Contact Office received, a few days ago, a brochure issued by the Department of Com merce entitled, “Establishing and Op erating a Hardware Store” . . . this booklet contains valuable informa, tion for those veterans now in hard ware business, or anticipating going into such a business . . . stop by, if you’d like to have a copy . . . the mails recently also contained a pam phlet from the Commerce and In dustry Association of New York, Inc., with information and summary of opportunities for veterans in For eign Trade Employment ... so if you are interested in going overseas to work, we suggest you come by . . . Mr. Mac will give you more infor mation about applying for a job. I might add that applying and being accepted for such a position does not mean overseas duty immediately ... a quote from the booklet “For eign Trade Employment”: “If you are thinking of getting an immediate trip abroad through a job in this field, you will be disappointed. For eign travel and work abroad come later.” I’d like to call attention to the new column in the local newspapers, "The Veterans’ Corner.” This col umn carries a list of questions and answers . . . questions most common ly asked by veterans. You might find the information you want by read ing over the inquiries . . . I know many veterans will be en rolling in college this fall—and those of you who have not yet made application for certificate of eligi bility should do so right away. Last minute applications will cause ser ious delays at college entrance time. Bring a photocopy of your dis charge to this office, and we’ll make out your application now—it '. -d be approved in a few weeks, and you won’t need to think about it again until you register. Speaking of registering ... al though jt’s a little too late for a re minder, I hope all veterans have reg istered to vote in the coming pri maries because the club roll books closed midnight, Tuesday, June 25th. And to those who did register— don’t just forget about it, but take an active interest in city, county, and national politics, and exercise your prerogative to vote for the man you feel should occupy your public of fices. You probably all know now—but just in case—the Veterans Contact Unit is at 1113 Boyce street.
