A decided improvement in the Campaign to sell 10.000 dollars Worth of government insurance to every Soldier and officer in the North african theater has been reported by Headquarters insurance officials but they Are still not satisfied and again Point out that after August 9 soldiers will have to take medical examinations before taking out the insurance. A new Survey shows that of the men originally reported As carrying no insurance whatever about 50 percent now have some coverage. However officials consider that there Are still too Many men who either Haven t taken out insurance or who have taken out too Little and this latest Appeal is being beamed in their direction strangely enough it seems the men in the so called rear echelons Are those who have not taken advantage of full coverage evidently Labouring under the mistaken idea that they Are comparatively Safe just because they done to see what an 88 or a tank can do. Players j too have been somewhat lax. It can be understood that the boys who have been slugging it out since last november up on the front Haven to had time to look up an insurance officer but now most of them Are enjoying a so called breathing spell Anc Are being urged to take care of the matter at once. As has been said countless times before cannot be repeated too often i insurance is a real bargain. When the names of Brig. Gen. L. Morefield jr., Tulsa. Okla., Sefc. Pvt. Alex Sra Hen pvt.
