VA Tells How
Veterans Will
Receive Dividends
The 1952 dividend on National
Service Life Insurance will not
be available to eligible veterans
in cash or for use as premium
payments before the anniversary
date of their policies in 1952.
According to the Veterans Ad
ministration. many veterans are
under the impression the divi
1 lend is already due them and is
being applied to their premium
payments immediately because
they did not request cash pay
j ment.
The VA announced recently a
regular dividend will be paid on
all G.I. insurance policies in force
three months or longer between
the 1951 and 1952 anniversary
dates are scheduled for this
month.
The VA said some 170.000 Pa
cific Northwest veterans will re
ceive G.I. insurance dividends
this year.
Policy holders who wish to re
ceive their 1952 dividend in cash
must notify the VA, either by let
ter or on the special card mailed
them by the VA. If cash pay
ment is not requested, the divi
dend will be used by the VA to
pay the premiums becoming due
after the policy anniversary date
on which the dividend is pay
able, if the policy holder fails to
pay such premiums.
In lieu of receiving the divid
end in cash, any policy holder
may request the VA in writing to
apply on his 1952 dividend as an
advance payment on premiums
falling due after the 1952 anni
I versary date.
On permanent policies, the vet
eran may request the VA in writ
| tng to place the dividend on de
posit at interest, with the aggre
gate to be included in the calcu
lation of cash value at time of
lapse or maturity.
Written requests, including full
name and address and insurance
numbers, should be sent to the
VA district office to which pre
mium payments are made. Since
the recent consolidation of the
Seattle, Chicago and Fort Snell
ing, Minn., district officers all
G. I. insurance accounts of Pacific
Northwest veterans are being
handled by the Fort Snelling dis
trict office.

Alaska to Share In
General Funds For
Agricultural Instruction
riu> House Committee on Agri
culture has approved the inclu
sion of Alaska in the benefits if
i lav. enacted 17 years ago pro
viding authorization for allot
nent of funds for agriculture
instruction at land grant colleges.
In approving Delegate Bar*
ett’s bill the committee stated in
ts report: "Since 1935 there has
seen a sharp increase in the popu
ation of Alaska and the Territory
las also assumed tremendous
strategic importance. There is the
possibility of much more agricul
tural development in Alaska than
low exists and it is in the inter
est of a sound national economy
md national defense to utilize the
agricultural possibilities of the
rerritory to the fullest. It seems
to the committee that there is
■very reason why Alaska should
share in this otherwise general
support of agricultural colleges
and no sound reason why it
should be omitted therefrom.’’
Alaska’s share under the bill
would amount to $21,500 a year
to be allotted for instruction ex
penses at the University of Alas- |
ka.
Jim Stewart of the MVFA
creamery has returned to work
after completing a two-week
course of training at the Pure
Pak school in Detroit.
