Evidence of Age. — A statement of age is sufficient if the 

 Controller of the Savings Bank Department can verify it 

 from the records of the Registrar- General, London, and thus 

 the cost of a certificate of birth is saved. A simple form for 

 the purpose can be obtained at any l^ost Office Savings 

 Bank.

 ances up to £2^ inclusive. 



Premiums are payable by transfers from Savings Bank 

 deposit accounts, and deposits can be made for the purpose

 Stamp Slips the provision can be made in sums of one penny 

 at a time. 



Friendly Societies. — Members can pay their premiums 

 through their Society, if the Society is willing to undertake 

 the collection.
