Third Grade
We were very surprised and
delighted when Mr. Whatley
gave us some new toys and
games for our room. Since we
have had so many days of rain,
they have given us much plea
sure.
In arithmetic we have started
multiplying. This is something
new for us and we like the
change.
A group of us read about “It
Happened in Brittany”. It was
interesting to read of their cob
blestone streets, gray stone
houses, with thatched roofs,
pretty flowers, and their gay
colored sail boats. We wonder
ed about a boy named Yv6n
who wanted to buy a hat with
ribbons.
It was nice to have William
Cowan, Jackie Milligan and
Melba Atha return to school
after being sick. Clifford Ellis,
Phillip Owens. Don Young and
Patricia Armistead are still ill
with mumps.
We have started to work on
our spring program which will
come in May. About 20 boys and
girls from our room will be in
the program.
Os course we are looking for
ward to our spring holidays
which begin on March 16,
through March 20.
Mrs. Hood's
Sixth Grade
We have been learning about
quite a few new things this
semester. Our new health books
are very interesting in that they
teach us so many things we
need to know about our health,
personalities and everyday
problems.
Decimals are not as hard to
understand as we feared they
might be. The more we study
about them the better we like
decimals.
We are also learning new
songs each week. We are en
jo.ying Irish songs, and are
looking forward to singing those
in keeping with the Easter sea
son.
One of our girls. Donna Re
petske, is busy studying for the
spelling contest. We will be
pulling for her as she competes
against other good spellers from
our school.
GI Insurance
Changes Proposed
In Congress
ATLANTA — Improvement
of coverage and a provision for
reinstatement of GI life insur
ance have been proposed in
Congress, Pete Wheeler, direc
tor of the State Department of
Veterans Service, has reported.
Holders of National Service
Life Insurance would have dou
ble indemnity and total disabil
ity coverage automatically add
ed to their policies under pro
posals introduced by Rep. Olin
E. Teague. Texas Democrat who
is chairman of the House Veter
ans Affairs Committee.
The proposal would give
! NSLI policyholders the addi
tional coverage without having
to pay additional premiums.
The double indemnity provis
ion would give survivors twice
the amount of the policy if the
holder died a violent death or
from other accidental causes.
The other provision would
I give policyholders $lO monthly
■ for every SI,OOO of regular in
surance if they become totally
disabled for six months. A sim
j ilar measure last year gave pol
i icyholders the option of acquir-
I ing disability coverage. The
; Teague proposal would make it
I automatic.
Wheeler said Senator Russell
D. Long. Louisiana Democrat,
( and 55 other Senators introduc
ed legislation to give an esti
mated 14 million World War II
and Korea veterans a second
chance to acquire GI insurance
The proposal would reopen
i NSLI to those ex-Gls who serv
ed on active duty between Oc
tober, 1940, and April, 1951.
Those affected are veterans
who were eligible but did not
take out insurance, and those
who allowed policies to lapse or
expire after their discharge.
The new policyholders would
be required to pay about $6
more annually than those who
now have GI insurance. No back
premium payments would be
required, but physical examin
ations would be necessary be
fore reinstatement of the poli
cies.
