WEEKEND ACTIVITY—College Station fireman directs
a stream of water on the last of a minor fire in Hensel
Park Saturday. The blaze was spotted by two Campus
Security officers at 2 p.m. Saturday.
LIFE INSURANCE FOR PILOTS
And All Other Flying Personnel
Under a new Federal law, there is no more Government life
insurance for persons entering the Armed Forces after January
1, 1957. Neither on a free nor a pay-for basis. . . . Many
insurance companies will insure military ground forces at stan
dard rates—so will we. There has been a rather universal rule,
.though, that fliers have to pay considerably more for their life
insurance than do the /Strictly mundane creatures who keep their
feet on terra firma. One of the reliable life insurance compan
ies which I represent has found, based on several years of ex
perience with all types of military personnel, however, that
it can insure pilots and student pilots at standard rates and still
make a- profit for its stockholders. The company does make this
reservation—since military flying is recognized in insurance cir
cles as being an extra hazard, and particularly so during the
training period: If the insured pilot is killed in an aircraft
accident before his age 26, then the amount payable to his bene
ficiary is only one-half the face amount of the policy. If killed
after age 26, the policy pays off in full. . . . All flying personnel,
other than pilots, are insured at standard premium rates, with
full payment in event .of death at any age any cause (excepting
suicide in the first two years). . . . With flight training now for
ROTC students at A&M, we know that many of them will want
life insurance that will cover them throughout their flying
career. They can buy the very low premium Ordinary Life, or
20 Pay Life, or other plans through my office at standard pre
mium rates, and make their premium payments out of their ROTC
Contract checks every three months. Premiums run as low as
$3.00 per month, depending- on how much insurance the student
wishes to have—and can afford. . . . Call EUGENE RUSH at
VI 6-006 or VI 6-5656 for an appointment to talk the matter
over, or come by his office above A&M Photo Shop at the
North Gate, College. No obligation to buy.
