MISgt. James w. Hitch 81 of
P. o Box 26, Sedalia, is one Of the
members Of the famous 437th
Troop Carrier Wings Food Ser
vice Squadron, which feeds the
men on the Korean Airlift. He is
one of the senior members of the
Squadron. He has been in the Air
Force for a long time, including
so months in World War II. His
wife the former Wilma Dillon of
Sedalia and their three children
Joan A, Ralph 3, and Alse a, live
in Sedalia. As civilian, Sergeant
Hitch worked for Hugh Pratric of
Springfield, as carpenter.
The 437th Wing the first Air
Reserve unit to be mobilized in
the Korean War on August 10th,
formerly trained one weekend per
month at O'FIare international
Airport, Chicago. The Wing is
commanded by Brigadier General
John P. (Jock) Henebry, 80, of
Kenilworth, Illinois, Youngest
general in the Air Force.
The 437th Wing is one of the
major units of the Far East Com
mand, under the direction of Ma
jor General William N. Tunner,
who formerly headed the Berlin
Airlift. The 437th Wing flies GAG
Curtiss Commando aircraft which
haul vital cargo and combat per-
sonnel to front line basees in
Korea in support of the 5th Air
Force and United Nations Ground
units, and flies back wounded SOL
ders on litters on the return
flights. The 437th Troop Carrier
Wing flies high priority material,
supplies and fresh foods, ammuni-
ton for artillery and ground
forces, bombs and rockets for
airplanes, aviation gasoline, ve-
hicular and tank gasoline, mail,
medical supplies and human blood,
and a great deal of other import
ant combat supplies. 1t also flies
paratroopers and airborne troops.
The 437th Troop Carrier Wing
has worked hard to surmount diff
ficult handicaps in operating the
base. When they arrived, there
were no buildings for housing, and
the men had to sleep for days in
an unheated hangar, and later in
unheated tents.
The base, built on a former rice
paddy, became a sea of mud be-
cause of daily transforms and the
churning of military and contract
ors' vehicles. There was tremen-
dous shortage of buildings and
equipment, and the men had to
build or improvise almost every
thing they had, using crates and
boxes for construction lumber. Be
cause the supply ships did not ar
rive till after the men, there has
been a tremendous shortage OF
supplies and tools and equipment
of all kinds. To get things done
under these difficult conditions
the men of the 437th Wing had
to work extremely long hours
sometimes around the clock. Many
of the Wing offices are in tents
In spite of the problems the
437th Wing has done considerable
construction work on the Kore2r
Airlift. Flying their planes al
little as IS hours after their ar
rival in Japan after a 1000 mile
flight from South Carolina th'
437th has hauled an impressive

Meanwhile wire stories from Panmunjom indicated
that the Korean Truce story had shifted from the circus
tent to the White House The UN truce team had accused
the Reds of blackmai in holding captured men, not

At the White House Mr. Short admitted that Korea

the radical change in approach,
due to new curves being cut in,
and the slick nature of the road in
rainy weather.
"You can say that we promise
opening the new bridge to traf-
fic before Christmas" said E. H.
Baggs, resident engineer for the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission here last week. His
prediction came true. Ken Ward
who lives not far away is first
reported motorist to cross the new
bridge.
Construction of the new bridge
began early in June of 1850. The
contracting firm which has created
what experienced observers de-
clare is one of the best jobs they
have ever seen in the price class,

drews, engineers.
Length of the new bridge, a
composite stringer type structure
,, with creosote trestles and con.
crete, is nine-tenths of one mile
with a total of about " mile OF
approaches. In addition to it's regu.
lation width to conform with u. S
Highways 158, "a and 264, the
most noticeable improvement is
the fast operating electric draw

While the new span is open Il

Today, Moore past 65, does not

Johnny Moore very helpful to his
sons as they put out their traps.
Trapping today is different from
the old times, it is pointed out
here. In former days the person
who caught a muskrat or other fun

the animal and then stretch it or

Today the trapped animals are
