VA to Send Out Second NSLI Vet Dividend WASHINGTON (UP) — The Veterans Administration (VA) said today it will distribute a $685,-000,000 life insurance dividend this year, starting in April. The announcement of the dividend's size has long been awaited by World War II veterans, holders of the eight million national service policies, who are eligible for checks. VA said the payments will occur throughout the year on the policy anniversary dates. The formula for paying the dividend has not yet been completed. The amount of each dividend will vary according to the number of months the policy was in force, the plan of insurance, the face value of the policy, and the age of the holder at the time it became effective. "Studies on rates still are being made," VA said. However, the average payment figures out to about $85, compared with an average of $175 for the first special dividend, on which VA started payments in January, 1950. The initial dividend totaled $2,800,000,000, about four times the forthcoming payment. However, it applied to more than 16 million policies, twice as many. Whose keepeth his money and his tongue, keepeth his sigh from trouble.—Prov. 21:23. NEWSVIEWS — Adolf Schroer and the Kwikset people are to congratulated for their latest client progress move. It was a step forward when Anaheim concern purchased an old, abandoned La Palma school and presented it to the youth community. With this action, the public spirited lock company erased one of the few blemishes on the history of Anaheim. Once upon a time, not so well long ago, the La Palma school was Anaheim's Mexican school. In those days students of Latin American extraction were segregated. Students of Latin-American castry could not be isolated. They were Americans and had to given the consideration due to Americans. It was a hard pill for Anaheim longhairs to swallow. But they had to yield to progress. It was the great writer has written Molley O'Grady and the colonel lady were sisters beneath skin.

Something NEW has been added this week, namely: BOOTED CUTTINGS OF CARNATIONS (good varieties) and for you POTATO GROWERS, we have the WHITE ROSE SEED POTATOES. Studies on rates still are being made," VA said. However, the average payment figures out to about $85, compared with an average of $175 for the first special dividend, on which VA started payments in January, 1950. The initial dividend totaled $2,800,000,000, about four times the forthcoming payment. However, it applied to more than 16 million policies, twice as many as are involved in this year's melon-splitting. The initial divident covered the period from the start of the National Service Life Insurance program, in October, 1940, through the 1948 anniversary dates. The second dividend will be for three years, from 1948 through the 1951 anniversary. It probably will also be the last special dividend, VA said. Hereafter, when there is a surplus in the insurance fund, dividends will be paid annually—and automatically. The dividends represent the surplus over amounts needed to pay claims and maintain reserves. The new dividend applies to policies held in force for at least three months during the period from 1948 to 1951. It applies to so-called term policies and to those converted to permanent plans, including those which have lapsed or were terminated by the death of the policy-holder. The initial checks will cover policies with a January, 1951, anniversary date. VA estimates that other dividend checks will go out within about two months of their anniversary dates, since it takes about that much time to calculate them. VA emphasized that there will be no deviation from calculations, and no advancements in the production line. "Veterans should refrain from writing about the second dividend," VA said. "Correspondence will cause removal of the file from the production lines, and thus will delay payment." Unlike the first dividend, no application will be required for the second dividend. Payments from the first special dividend totaled $2,713,848,055 through Dec. 31. Students of Latin-American ancestry could not be isolated. There were Americans and had to give the consideration due to Americans. It was a hard pill for Anaheim longhairs to swallow. But they had to yield to progress. It was the great writer has written Molley O'Grady and the colonel lady were sisters beneath his skin. Though abandoned, La Palma stood as a symbol of the former day. With the Kwikset company turning it over to the youth Anaheim, it automatically became a symbol of civic unity, because youth does not have the bitterness, petty-jealousies and hypocrisy of its elders. Anaheim will be a better city for the generosity of these public spirited citizens.

A total of 122 Malays from various villages were each fined $2 recently by a religious court for failing to attend Moslem Sabbath prayers. Mosques in Kuala Pilah now are overflowing with worshippers. "Veterans should refrain from writing about the second dividend," VA said. "Correspondence will cause removal of the file from the production lines, and thus will delay payment." Unlike the first dividend, no application will be required for the second dividend. Payments from the first special dividend totaled $2,713,848,055 through Dec. 31, VA said. The checks issued totaled 15,313,049. About 750,000 veterans still have not applied for that dividend, but they are doing so at the rate of about 1000 per week. Special dividends are payable only in cash, and may not be left on deposit at interest. However, VA, not above giving a gentle hint, added that: The check may be cashed and the proceeds used to prepay insurance premiums, which results in savings equal to three per cent annual interest on premiums paid, more than three months in advance." The Internal Revenue Bureau has ruled that the dividends represent a rebate on overpayment of premiums and are therefore exempt from Federal income tax.

Center St. 11 Men in Ark. Mental Hospital Break LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — met on the outside. All were bareheaded. At least one had a gun. Three of the group fled afoot. The nine others apparently sped away in a car belonging to one of the guards they beat in a 15-minute struggle on the third floor of the criminal ward. The mental patient, one of the three who fled on foot, was picked up three hours later in a Little Rock bus station. He was identified as Carl Merriman, a former prize fighter. Among the fugitives—all of whom had been committed for observation was a man charged with murder and a Colorado youth charged with assault. He and two teen-aged companions, one a girl, were wounded after a gun battle with state police in north Arkansas, Dec. 29. The state hospital is situated on a krioll adjacent to War Memorial park in West Little Rock, on the edge of the fashionable Pulaski Heights residential district. The search was being carried on under adverse weather conditions. Highways were heavy with snow, but passable. In the fight to prevent collapse of the roof housing the women and children, one group of workmen feverishly shoveled off the stiff-falling snow and another hammered and sawed through the night to brace up the roof. James A. Bain, the state labor department's safety engineer, estimated there was between 200 and 300 tons of ice and snow on the flat roof when the emergency work began. The building, constructed in 1942, was condemned last October by Fire Chief Gann Nalley. The hospital has been the subject of legislative controversy. Gov. Sid McMath asked last year for funds to rebuild what he called an outmoded institution. Dr. H. H. Donahue, one of the hospital officials, said the break occurred between 6:30 and 6:45 p.m. The goaikeeper, three defensemen and seven forwards on the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League are former members of the Detroit Red Wings. 29 Pc Electric POPCORN POPPER SET YOU GET ALL 29 pcs. for only FAMOUS MAKE POPPER ALONE IS WORTH $7.95 $8.95 50¢ DOWN A WEEK YOU GET EVERYTHING ILLUSTRATED • 4 pc. electric Popper with cord.
