VA URGES VETS TO APPLY
FOR INSURANCE DIVIDEND
World War II veterans should
apply immediately for their special
dividend on National Service Life
Insurance policies to be paid early
next year by the Veterans Admin
istration, if they have not already
done so. the VA' has announced.
The VA reports that thousands
of Pacific Northwest veterans ap
plied for their G. I. insurance divi
dend during the first few days
after application forms became
available August 29. Since then,
however, applications from veter
ans have fallen off considerably.
In order to process dividend ap
plications efficiently, by business
machine methods, it is necessary
that applications be received in a
large volume, the VA explained.
The VA stressed that veterans
must apply if they wish to receive
a G. I. insurance dividend check.
Application forms are available at
all post offices, from the VA or
any veterans service organization.
The VA said also that many divi
dend applications are being re
ceived without the veteran's sig
nature or his service serial number,
both of which are necessary.
Veterans who failed to sign their
applications should submit another
properly filled out. the VA said.

A little boy visiting in Seward
has lost his dog, and that to any
little boy is a near tragedy. Little
Paul Lee from Kotzebue, and Ka
silof, now living in Moose Pass
with his parents, came in to Sew
ard with his Daddy, Keith Lee, to
visit his mother and new baby
brother in the hospital. Susie, his
two months old spaniel puppy
strayed away from the car and
they haven't seen her since
Sunday.
Susie is a chocolate brown
trimmed in white with a nearly
perfect “S” on tire back of her
neck. Site is very noticeable and
easy to recognize. Anyone would
love Susie.
We know that somebody must
have taken this little puppy in,
believing her to be a stray, and
without an.V Intention of keeping
her away from her rightful owner,
because not everyone reads the
paper and might not discover who
has lost the dog, will all our
readers keep on the look out, and
help locate Susie for this little
visitor.
Either the Record office or Mr.
Logan Varnell at 105 Adams St.
will be glad to take Susie home.
