stajte ahf amount of term insur
ance—frqm $1,000 to $10,000, in
multiples of $500—regardless of
the length of time it has been |
lapsed. }
All th«t is required for reinstate-
meht is the completion of a simple
application form, in which the in
sured certifies that his healtnxrs
as good as when the policy lapsed,
anj payinent of premiums for two
njoinths. i
The two months remittance cov

Since the veteran was not
protected while his policy was

on the lapsed period, except for
the grace month.
1 ,
Varnell warned that the privi
lege of reinstating on a “compar

able after July 31 only to veterans
whose policies have been lapsed
foil less . than three months. Where
the period of lapse is three months
or longer, the 1 veteran will be re

Appoints Boyer
And Swindler I
j 1 V /■:,
Harry; Boyer, head of the A&M
Housing Office, and B. F. Swind
ler, manager of F. W. Woolworth
& Company, have been appointed
to the Rent Advisory Board, Gor
don L. Benningfield, rent director,
has announced.
Boyer will serve on the board as
a public interest representative and
Swindler will act as tenant-rep
resentative.
George E. Adams, Bryan ranch
er; Theodore Boriskie, Bryan mail
carrier; and J. Harmon McWil
liams, Bryan business agent have
been asked to continue on the
board. The board now consists of
one representative of landlord in
terests, one tenant representative,
and three public interest members.
As the local rent advisory board
prepares for its work under the
new r£nt law, Tighe E. Woods,
housing expediter, has asked that
a chairman for the impartial pub
lic interest representatives be nam
ed rather than the tenant or land
lord representative.
These boards are authorized to.
make | recommendations toj the
housing expediter on removal of
rent controls in an area, portion
of an area, or classes of housing
accomnnodations when the demand
for rental housing has been rea
sonable met; general adjustments
of rents in an area, part of an area
or'classes of housing accommoda
tions; and operations generally of.
the local rent office with parti
cular reference to hardship cases.
Colonel Robert J. Fleming, Jr.
from the Office of the Chief of
Engineers gave the principal ad
dress. A 1928 West Point graduate
Colonel Fleming said that i “|rh!
Corps of Engineers has the larg
est job of mobilization and are
more in need of officers than any
other branch of the army. We are
on our Way toward that mobiliza
tion now.”
The commanding general of Fort
Belvoir, Major General Douglas
Weart, made a short address in
which he praised Colonel T. A.
Adcock, military department in
structor at A&M, who died late
that afternoon during a demolition
demonstration.
Speaking of A&M, General
Weart said, “I’m not from Texas,
but I have been stationed at Eagle
igl
Pass, Laredo, and El Paso and I
have great praise for your state.
You from Texas A&M have a
great spirit. At the ROTC dance
I took particular notice of how all
of you cadets wore boots, and dur
ing the intermission sang your
school song.”
Representaive OHn “Tiger”
Teague was present at the meet
ing, having returned to Washing
ton for the special session of
Congress called by President
Truman.
Major Virgil Williams, engineer
instructor at A&M, was present as
a special guest, and as he stood up
to introduce himself he said, 4 fl’m
Major Williams, ROTC instructor
at A&M, and I wish I were an Ag
