New System for
Teacher Meetings
In County Planned

A new system for teachers insti-
tutes will be followed in Imperial
county tnls year because of the tire
shortage and gasoline rationing,
School Superintendent E. l.. Hite-
man announced Thursday.
Heretofore we have had Severa
teachers Institutes in Ell Centro
every year." Hiteman said. with
tire shortages and gasoline ration
ing in effect, it is Unfair to ask
the teachers to do much travelling.
Therefore we are going to have
workshops in the various cities so
the teachers will have to travel
only short distances to attend
them.
I'VE will nave workshops in Ell
Centro, BraWlet, Holtville, Calexi-
co, the river districts. and possibly
other places. We will adapt the
meetings to the neighborhood prob
lens where we are holding the
workshops. We will utilize the
teachers who nave done outstand-
ing work in various subjects by
2sking them to take leading part
in the workshops. We will get out
side experts as much as we can
The dates for the Institutes will be
announced later"
Hiteman said it will be arranged
for teachers to visit other schools
this year so they may get the bene-
fit Of the success other teachers
are having in various subjects and
get inspiration from watching 9TH
er teachers work. Someone from
the county school superintendent
office will pinch hit while the
teachers are absent, Hiteman said

War BOARD Information Editors

Fertilizer is something important
that we haven't discussed before
because we lacked authoritative in
formation from Washington.
Last March your War Board
realized there would be a shortage
of phosphate and began to take
action through the State War
Board to get supply allocated to
Imperial Valley. We started with
strong letters and have increased
our tempo to the point where we
are now keeping the telegraph and
telephone lines hot.
Red" Harrigan and the fertilizer
dealers have been working just as
hard through their own channels.
The channels converge in Wash,

chase is worked out.
a CARS COMING
Forty-four cars of 20 per cent
phosphate are coming to Imperial
Valley for sure. That's only 1880
tons and it won't go very far but
there will probably be more from
the same place and already the
news that it is coming has Jared
loose supplies from other sources.
This present shipment. we under
stand, is being "allocated" to I'M
perial Valley from AAA supplies in
Florida. The Imperial County USDA

presses its appreciation of Florida S

One of the toughest parts of this
job has been to get straight phos-

habit of getting into mixed fer
tilizers which are fine most places
but are generally waste of money,
labor and time in this valley. This
stuff that is coming in is straight

Fifth i
Army
Strikes

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 (UP) -
Allied troops in considerable force,
including elements of the U. S.
Fifth army, all under command of
Lieut.. Gen. Mark w. Clark. have
landed on different beaches in the
vicinity Of Naples and are making
satisfactory progress, Secretary of
War Henry L .Stimson said today.
The Fifth Army was thus dis
closed to be in action for the first
time in this war.
Ever since its creation in North
Africa last winter, the Fifth Army
has been undergoing arduous train
ing for just such a task as it is
now undertaking.
Stimson said "the enemy has
been dealt a heavy blow but is
capable of strong resistance and
it is quite probable we shall ex-
perience heavy fighting in ITALY,"
TAKE PRISONERS
He said the American forces al
ready have contacted German
troops and have taken some pris-
onerS
Stimson said the unconditional
surrender of Italy did not mean
the Allies would achieve occupa-
ton of the Peninsula unopposed,
as it was believed between Is and
30 German divisions were in Italy.
This, he said, represented a largre
German force than the Allies en-
countered in Sicily and the Ger
mans were capable of sending in re-
Inducements.
The Fifth Armys amphibious
operation fulfilled President Roose-
yelt's promise early today of new
landings on hostile shores. 1t was
follow-up of the one-two punch
that custer Mussolini and brought
Italy's unconditional surrender.
Clark, the tall, handsome, DASH
ing general who paved the way for
he Allied landings in North Africa
with secret submarine journey to
visit French leaders before the in
| vasion, has been in command of
the Fifth Army since its incep-
| ton.
Stimson said the armistice nego-
tiated by Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, supreme commander of AL
lied forces in the Mediterranean
was purely a military armistice and
that political and economic queS-
| tons were left for future con-
sideration.
FULL TERMS UNREVEALED
The armistice provided uncondi-
tional surrender of italian forces
but, Stimson added. the full term:
have not ben revealed. He de.
clined to comment when asked
whether the armistice dealt witt
the disposition of Benito Mussolin
and other Fascist leaders.
noe newspaper man asked VIII,
he armistice terms were not pub
lished, recalling by contrast th'
details of the armistice in the las
war.
Stimson replied that the cir
cumstances obviously were diff
ferent.
Success of the Mediterranean
operations is a great tribute to th'
skill and vision of Gen. EisenhoWe
and his able British and American
associates" StimSon said
But this success does net meal
an early end of the war. ur tw'
strongest enemies are still to b.
overcome. There is no justification
of any assumption that they sool
will be eliminated"
Stimson said the capitulation o
Italy demonstrates that the Italian
people recognize that the Allie
represent the cause of freedom.
The surrender, he added, Is "a grea
omen for our future campaigns"
He pointed out that ITALY sur
rendered when on its face sur
render would not mean the OBJ
tanning of immediate peace an
safety"
