WHILE FIVE SONS AND A GRANDSON 1 ARK IN SERVICE '» "*■ W . r- ' , , t anJ Wt'iA.Wtule C<wi mTTten^t • Over in Concord, Nebraska, ’'North Western’s’' Cecil G.White is busy with his daily tasks. His is a service record of many years. But since war came the Whites have won distinction in another way—fit* sons and a grandson war Undo Sam's fight ing uniforms. You might say this is enough glory for one family. But patriotic Mrs. White thought differently. She turned to victory gardening and last year canned over 600 quarts of fruits and vegetables* That's deserving of comment. This year she expects to do as well or better! But to get back to the White boys: Russell, a 1st Lieutenant of Marines, has seen action at Guadal canal and Tarawa, and is now on Saipan. Sergeant Vilas is over in New Guinea. Vernon, in the Southwest Pacific, is a Navy Aerographer’s Mate. Norman, still in the States, is an Air Cadet, while Private Merton is at^Camp Phillips, Kansas. Then there’s ^ Jerry, Lieut. Russell’s son, in Officers’ Training Camp at San Diego. Marvin, we might add, enlisted in the army in 1939, but received a medical discharge last September. He’s still carrying on, though:.:in a Minneapolis defense plant. A most unusual family, you’ll agree. Every member is doing what he can to hasten victory. ’'North Western” is proud of the White*—they and their kind are the backbone of America.
