VETERAN TEACHER
OF FL CENTRIC IS
LEAVING HERE
Superintendent Shibley
Tenders r e signatiOn
After Long Service.

After 16 years in public school
which time he has made an enviablc
record. A. p. Shiblcy, superinten-
dent OF FL Centre schools, presented
his resignation to the FL Centre
board last night, effective at the
close of the school year. The board
accepted the resignation with regret
and paid II hi@h tribute to the de-
parting official.
Superintendent Shiblev has ac-
cep;ed n position as superintendent
OF public schools at Huntington
Beach, one Of the thriving small
towns in the Los Angeles section.
He viii take up his new duties
there ms soon as he has completed
the school year here. The new
position will give him considerable
increase in salary and an excellent
field to work in.
Coming to Imperial Valley in 1910
Superintendent Shiblev became af-
filiated with the schools in Imperial
and remained in that city until 1914
when he was chosen county super
intendent of schools, assuming that
office in 1915. He remained at the
head of the county schools until the
fall of 1920 when he was appointed
head of the FL Centre school system.
During his regime as head Of the
FL Centre schools Superintendent
Shiblcy has been IA hard worker and
las developed the public school svs-
.cm Of this city to a point where
It compares favorably with any city
in California. Each year he has
taken considerable pains to obtain
an efficient teaching stat, a work
ontailing no small amount of effort,

designations in the teaching force
each year.

ias a wide circle of friends here who

'he superintendent said today
After living here for 10 years, and
having made so many fine friend
ships, it is difficult to decide to
give up and start all over again in
new location. No matter what
attractions the new position holds
out, Mrs. Shibley and i feel that we
are sustaining distinct loss in
leaving our friends here, though we
both feel that nothing can ever
happen to break those friendships. -

CORDOVA, Alaska, May 13.--
Drifting somewhere in the north
ern skies, whereabout of the
Amundsen- Ellsworth dirigible
Norge was a mystery to radio
stations throughout Alaska this
afternoon.
The naval radio station at st.
Paul, which heard the Norge's
signals last night, called continu-
ally during the forenoon today
and at / p. m. reported that it
had made no contact with the air
ship and heard no signals from it
since last night.
The Nome station also was call
ing the Norge at regular inter
walls, but without success.
With cloudy weather and poor
visibility north of Nome, the fear
grew that the a:rship may have
been swept off its course and not
be headed for the landing field
at Nome, as scheduled.
There is little reason yet, how
ever, to fear for the safety OF
the airship and its explorer pass
engers.

BY United Press Leased Wire

Los ANGELES, May ia sec
ton of the 200 mile Los Angeles
aqueduct was blown out by dyna-

early today.
The blast, according to informa-

A gatekecper at the Alabama

shut off the water, and prevented
enormous damage.
The explosion occurred in the
hills near Lone Pine, shortly before
dawn.
Bureau officials dispatched offic-
ers to the scene to prevent further
trouble. Repair crews We're also
ordered on the job Immediately, and
it was expected the water supply
would be running at normal again
by nightfall.
An investigation was started to
determine responsibility for the lat

troversy between Owens Valley
ranchers and Los Angeles over dis

The ranchers, according to advic-

seething unrest the past "a hours
over pending litigation with this
city.
The dissatisfaction reached a eli

ranchers and mountaineers We're
said to have combined to wreak ven
geance on Los Angeles and descend

After the dynamiting the ranchers
dispersed, it was said, scattering to
