On a 5V4-mile stretch of double track, just outside of Nor
way, Iowa, Section Foreman Arthur M. (Pal) Holland
keeps himself and his crew mighty busy. Theirs is one
of the important jobs of railroading. For this piece of
main line, like all other “North Western” track, must
be kept in perfect condition.
Significantly, “Pal” Holland has five sons who went into
service, all five former "North Western” employes. And a
grand lot they are! There’s Cyril, in the Field Artillery,
now in the Southwest Pacific. And Sergeants Leon and
Arthur, both fighting in France—Leon with the Engi
neers, Arthur in a Gun Battalion. Creighton, too, is in
France' with the Infantry.
Finally, there’s Blaine, who enlisted in the Navy. A medi
cal discharge brought him back to Norway, so once
again he’s a member of the “North Western” family,
working as a section laborer.
★
When a "North Western” man steps out of his
working clothes and into Uncle Sam’s uniform,
we admire him for it. But when five of them,
all from the same family, don fighting garb, it's
a story well worth telling. Naturally, we’re
proud of the Hollands. They’re typical of
legions of Americans, each fighting in his way
to speed the day of total victory.
