Legion Auxiliary To
Sponsor Poppy Day
Here Tomorrow

Once again on Poppy Day, Sat
urday, members of the American
Legion Auxiliary will dedicate their
efforts to the distribution of me-
mortal poppies to the citizens of
Coolidge, Mrs. Avis Hobby, poppy
chairman, announced today. 1t is
one of the ways in which they pay
tribute to and keep faith with those
who died in the nations service.
THE wearing of the poppy has
become a silent pledge, renewed
each year, that the people of Amer
lea have not forgotten the respon-
sibility they have been given by
their fighting men of both wars, "
said Mrs. Hobby. Many Of these
men have given their lives or their
health for us, and it Is with deep
gratitude to them that we set aside
a day on which to honor them
and assure them that we remember
our promise"
On Poppy Day the women of the
Auxiliary will offer poppies tc
everyone in Coolidge. There is ne
fixed price for a poppy-whatevel
is given is welcome. 1t is hoped
that every citizen will be wearing
the crimson badge by nightfall oi
May 26th.. Mrs. Hobby said. Every
cent that is given for a poppy goes
toward the rehabilitation of dis
abled fighting men and to aid the
children of the dead and disabled.

Thomas Tells Koreans
independence Is Sure

Ey the Associated Press.
To Koreans protesting the Ameri-
can use Of japanese officials in their
homeland, Senator Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Utah sent this word today:
Korean independence is coming
along"
Senator Thomas, an influential
members Of the Senate Foreign Re-
1ations Committee, formerly was a
missionary in the Orient and is
Capitol Hills authority on condi-
tions there.
Korea is going to be run by
Koreans" Senator Thomas said.
but it is going to take some time
to substitute for the government
they have been under so long. The
scheme is to work through the con-
quered government. This has abso-
lutely nothing to do with future
policy.
There is provisional Korean
government at Chungking (China)
and at least two Korean factions in
America. There is nothing stable
IN Korea now. To try to bring about
something right now, to break off
abruptly. would really make chaos. !"
This was in line with statement
at Seoul, Korea, by 1t. Gen. John r.
Hodge that the political situation
among the Koreans is chaotic, with
no central theme except desire for
immediate independence"
President Truman stepped into the
touchy situation yesterday with a
promise that the Japanese admin
istrators would be removed as soon
as possible.

Cheese Connoisseurs
Must Wait Months
For Choice Grades

Connoisseurs of cheese will have
to wait many months for some of the
choice products denied consumers
during the war.
The Agriculture Department an
nouncement that 1t had removed it's
40 per cent set-aside on Cheddar
cheese will mean more supplies for
manufacturers.
But the better grades of cheese re-
quire months of aging. Up to now,
there has been little backlog OF
cheese. The armed forces required
large quantities and this prevented
any extensive storing.
An Agriculture Department expert
predicts that by next March supplies
Of aged cheese will begin to pick up.
The department has no reports on
the amount Of aged cheese now in
storage and therefore does not take
it into account in promising sup
plies next year.
Here is the experts estimate on
the amount of time required prop
erly to age cheese:
Sharp American cheese, 3 to 6
months; blue cheese, S months:
Swiss cheese, to months, Romano
cheese, IL months; Parmesan cheese,
IA to 16 months.
The official cautions against ex-
pecting any substantial amounts OF
imported cheese any time soon.
Food requirements are too high in
the countries noted for their cheese
TO permit them to export this winter.

.375-MiIIion Allotment
For Airport Expansion
Approved by Senate

Ey the Associated Press.
The Senate has approved a $375,-
100000 Federal aid airport program
designed to do for airplanes what
the building of great highways did
for the automobile.
The plan contemplates the con-
struction of approximately 5000 new
airports and the improvement of
some 1900 of the 5000 existing ones.
The Federal money would be
matched equally by State and local
funds.
In the words of Chairman Nc
Carran of the Commerce Commit
tee, who sponsored the bill:
Such an airport program would
give civil aviation real chance TO
expand rapidly after the war and
would in addition provide ready
made public works program of ma
tionwide proportions"
Under the bill, which now goes
to the House, the Federal Govern
ment could spend S75 100000 year
for the next five years on the pro-
gram. The State and local agencies
would put up the same amount for a
total of $3.50, ,00o,0 900.
The bill passed by voice vote
