   IN HONOR OF BILL HOLLOWAY'S 50 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE DAILY NEWS

                                 ______


                           HON. GLENN POSHARD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 12, 1994

  Mr. POSHARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bill Holloway for 50 
years of dedicated service to the Robinson Daily News. It is because of 
Bill Holloway and his colleagues that the Daily News has continued to 
provide important news and information to the people of the 19th 
Congressional District.
  Bill began his newspaper career in Lawrenceville, IL as a delivery 
boy when he was just 11 years old. At the age of 14, Bill's family 
moved to Robinson, IL and he began working for the Daily News, the 
newspaper he has continued to work for 50 years. Bill's first job with 
the newspaper included sweeping the print shop floors and taking out 
the trash. Soon Bill found himself assisting with mailings and then 
setting type, which was completely accomplished by hand. Bill's 
dedication and hard work over the years led to him being named the 
newspaper's production manager.
  Besides his 50 years of service to the newspaper, Bill has continued 
to play an active and important role in the community of Robinson. It 
seems Bill is always helping an individual in need. Whether it means 
providing food and clothing to the poor or assisting the elderly with 
tasks around the house, Bill is always willing to provide help. Bill 
serves as the president of the board of trustees for the First Baptist 
Church of Robinson. Bill Holloway has also been a life-long Democrat 
and an active member of the party for 20 years. Last year Bill became 
chairman of the Crawford County Democrat Party, a position he holds 
with pride.
  Along with the people of the 19th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Bill Holloway on his 50 years of dedicated service to the 
Robinson Daily News, and I wish Bill, his wife, Rita, and their entire 
family continued happiness and good health in the years ahead.
