Dorothy G. Nelson There's a touch of Holland at Hill Air Force Base. Approximately 60 immigrants, straight from the land of the windmills, are now working in the shops and hangars of this air base. With only a few months separating them from life in their native land, and with many English words still stumping them, they are still proving to De excellent ana war scientious workers, according to, their foremen.

General Patton's forces. Looyen and his wife, 26 year old Helen, live in Salt Lake City. CAMPBELL ht Underground Commander An aircraft mechanic with the Dutch accent still thick in his speech is Gerrit A. Rentink, whose experiences in the "old country" sound like a plot for a movie. During the time Hitler's hordes were tramping up and down their "Nederland", Rentink was a commander for the underground with ISO men in his command. "The allies dropped guns and basookas and tanks," Rentink recalls. We crawled out into the fields and got them. We transported the weapons to the spots they were needed by hiding them in baby buggies, market baskets, and carts." "Underground headquarters was in my home," he said. "When we met, my wife, she's watch out for the Germans." In his native land Rentink worked in an airplane factory for 18 years. An almost unbelievable feat accomplished by this energetic Dutchman was the building of his own airplane. "Some friends and I built an airplane in my back yard and it actually flew." (Rentink's got pictures to prove it). Dutch Girl Saving Money Ernestly saving money to help bring over his sister and two brothers is blonde, single Aletta G. Van DEN, G life. IT'S OPEN v ECCLES.
