Best Type Insurance
A veteran who plana to convert
hiB term insurance to a permanent
plan of National Service Life Insur-
ance should first determine what
type and amount of protection his
family should have consistent with
his ability to pay premiums, Mr.
Joseph Carnesale, Veterans' Admin-
istration Insurance Officer for the
Providence Regional Office , said
today.
"II may be in many insured, '
Mr. Carnesale explained , "that
term insurance is still the best
plan , because it offers maximum
protection at a minimum of cost."
Term insurance, however, Mr.
Carnesale pointed out, has no cash
value, paid-up insurance or loan
: provisions. It Is actually just pro-
tection.
"The matter of converting term
insurance to best suit a veteran's
needs," Mr. Carnesale stressed , "is
of serious enough consequence
that he should discusB it at length
with his family before reaching a
decision."
Veterans can get complete ln- j
formation concerning National
Service Life Insurance at their
nearest Veterans Administration
Office.
