• 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.
