To Hit 'hoppers
Poison those grasshoppers!

Poison those graSshopperS!
An influx of grasshoppers in the
Westmorland area caused County
Agricultural Commissioner B. A.
Harrigan to warn Imperial county
farmers that it is wise to put out
poison bran provided by the gov
ernment for controlling the pests.
Contact Harrigan's office in the
court house in Ell Centre for the
poison. 1t should be put in the
fields after 5 o'clock in the after
noon, the farmer being certain to
put it on dry land.
Harrigan said the present infeSta-
ton was not as bad as the dis
aStrouS infestation in Imperial
county in 1898. He urged all farm
ers to look over their fields to see
if there are grasshoppers there and
if so to scatter the poison before
they lay their eggs.
We ave to keep up the fight

said, 70 lecp them under control.

Rotary Meeting
Hears Need
OF Postwar Jobs

That Imperial Valley should plan
now the ways and means of re-
employing approximately 4,500 serv-
icemen who are in service, was
stressed as one OF the most urgent
of postwar planning steps, by Argyle
McLachlan, secretary-manage of
the Southwest Flaxseed association,
in an address before the El Centre
Rotary clup THURSDAY.
The enormity of this task was
traced by the speaker in viewing
the postwar future of agriculture.
Agriculture, he said, probably
will take a slump to be followed by
an up in prices. Food and soil
products will be needed by all for
eign countries, for years to come,
he said. Flax, he said, probably will
maintain a high level of prices.
He urged that each community
and each firm and farmer plan now
how as many men can be rehired as
have left to serve elsewhere during
the war.
McLachlan was presented by Earle
G. Davis. president. who also well
coined the following new members
into the club: Howard Farnsworth.
dairyman; Jack Werner, insurance
adjuster, Eiwood c. Rice. Boy Scout
executive. and Ted Myers, manager

Postwar Note

Considerable has been said about
postwar plans. Not small part of
which conversation has been de-
voted TO plans for inducing women
to leave remunerative eight-hour a
day Jobs in war plants and content
themselves in kitchens for all hours
for a slice of the breadwinner's pay
check.
Everyone has conceded that kitch-
ems will have to be made more at
tractive or women will prefer war
plants and other places of employ
ment.
Lillian Fleming has solved the
problem. She has a plan for dress
ing skillets, pots, and pans in hats
and ruffles. thus caShing in on the
well-known feminine yen for such
fripperies.

LOOKING TO FUTURE
Looking toward the indefinite fu-
ture, Selective service said:
The attention now centered on
the 18 through 25-year-old group
will be moved to the 26 through 29-
year-old registrants when they are
needed by the armed forces and
the supply of physically fit men in
the 18 through 25-year-old group
is substantially depleted
The only indication as to when
this transfer of attention" might
take place, barring unforeseen mill
tary demanCs in the near future,
was Hershey'S estimated that the
Younger men would supply army
navy needs until Dec. /.
II appeared likely, however, that
some non -deferrable men 26 or older
would be called in the meantime
Hershey explicitly warned that Sc
lective service will take men who
persist in not participating in eS-
Sential work"
Although the regulations have no
bearing on agricultural deferments,
qualifications for which are gov
erned by the Tydings amendment
to the selective service act, Her.
hey told reporters that local boards
have been given "a stiff interpreta-
ton" of the Tydings provisions.
Il am quite optimistic" he said,
that as time goes on-and I am
not merely speculating-that in
creasing numbers of (young) men
now deferred in agriculture will be
removed from deferred status.
The changes in rationing "a
reference to recent sharp reduc-
tions in point values Of various
foods should be evidence to the
local boards that We are not starry

The offensive opened with a bar
rage of almost two hours by the
greatest concentration of artillery
ever employed in the Mediterranean,
dwarfing even the batteries that
cracked Germany's Alamein line in
Egypt in october, 1912.
For the first 40 minutes, the guns
concentrated their shells on Ger

Then, confident that most OF the
enemy's firepower had been knock
&c out, they showered troop posi-

Allied Armies
Strike in ItuIv

On the eighth army front, which.
had been extended southwest to a
point below Casino, British en-
pire and other troops swarmed out
from their lines and raced a half
mile to the Rapido river. and.
launched their boats in an attempt
to reach the opposite shore before
the three-quarters moon rose and
betrayed their whereabouts.
ANZIO STAYS QUIET
The offensive apparently did not
extend to the fifth army beach,
head around Anzio below Rome,
despite previous axis reports of
large-Scale reinforcement of the
area.
Haze covered the battlefront Fri
day morning, but hundreds of al
lied bombers and fighters, includ-
ing an hour-long procession of Fly
ing Fortresses and Liberators, roar
ed out across the lines for attacks
on rear areas, apparently in an
attempt to seal off the enemy from
supplies and reinforcements.
Lieutenant General Sir Oliver
Leese, commander of the eighth
army warned war correspondents
