Athens, April 16. (UP)—
German armored forces,
smashed through the main line
and swept nearly 50 miles
down across northern Greece
in a great arc aimed at entrap-
ping the British and Greek
armies, it was stated officially
early today.
The German “Panzer”
forces were said by the official
Greek spokesman to be strik-
ing at the towns of Xozani and
Siatista and to have driven in-
to the vital Siatista pass west
of Xozani in the Vourinon
mountains.
At Xozani, jest north of the
Vistritza river, the German
spearhead of tanks was only
about 40 miles from the east-
ern end of the allied line on
the gulf of Salonika near
Mount Olympus.
(An Ankara radio broad-
cast beard in London said that
the Germans had' swept be-
hind Mount'Olympus and en-
trapped British forces holding
the allied ' flank between
Mount Olympus and the sea-
coast.)
(The Germans, reporting a
60-mile thrust into the heart of
the Anglo-Greek defenses,
said their troops has crossed
the Vistritza to the Servia
area only 18 miles due west of
Mount Olympus and. jt may
haveUeenthese forces, cutting
a wide arc, which reportedly,
encircled the British.) i
The Greeks have abandon-
ed the Albanian town'of Korit-
za “for strategic reasons” un-
der German and Italian blowe
from two sides, it was stated
by the Greek high command,
indicating a surrender of all
the Greeks’ hard-won con-
quests on the northern Alban-
ian front.

A Recruit For Safety
Austin, Tex., April 15. (UP)
—The Texas house of repre-;
sentatives today passed Anally
a bill appropriating $8,166,-
192 annually for rural school;
aid during the 1-941-48 hienni-1
urn, increasing the present ex- j
penditure by $1,340,365 a i.
year.
The house vote of 129 to 4
will send the bill next to the
senate.
The only real argument in
the house was over an unsuc-
cessful attempt to strike out a
provision for 24 deputy state
superintendents, who super-
vise rural aid. Rep. H. S. Fitz-
gerald, Stamford school-teach-
er, charged that the assistants
“do practically nothing” ex-
cept to campaign for the state
superintendent during election
years.
Rep. Lon E. Alsup of Carth-
age, author of the bill, said
that the supervisors were nec-
essary and that the present
system of state supervision of
rural aid is more efficient than
a system under county superin-
tendents would be.
The house voted'77 to 65 to
retain the 24 assistant state
superintendents.
The approved bill provides
$4,648,357 a year for teachers’
salary aid, an increase of
$913,090 over the present ap-
propriation ; $1,034,243

The measure onee had ap-

but lost grounds on a motion
to reconsider. Opponents
claimed that it might impair
essential government func-

S. M. Melton, supervisor of
schools, district 17, of the
3tate Department of Educa-
tion, made a recent inspection
of the Timpson school, and
his following complimentary
report reads as follows:
The PnpH Activity
The daily program is well
organized and directed, and
procedures are democratic.
There is plenty of student
activity in the school, clubs,
athletics, band, assembly pro-
grams, publications, etc., to af-
ford ample opportunity for all
to participate in some team of
school activity.
The health and physical
education program is given
proper attention.
Library and Its Staff
A WPA worker is in charge
of the library.
The organization and super-
vision of the library it ' above
average.
A new reference set has
been added this year, and the
library is well supplied with
some 1000 individual volumes.
Teachers direct pupils in
use of library materials.
A library appropriation is
set up in the school budget,
and in addition occasional
benefits are given to supple-
mejit 'Iibrary funds.
Instructional Activity
Particularly good work is
being done in the special de-
partments, and some good
teaching was observed in the
grades.
The exhibits of high school
work were in excellent condi-
tion, nicely prepared, reveal-
ing careful planning and
thorough instruction.
On the whole the teaching
staff is efficient, but much
overloaded.
The School is hereby warn-
ed os the excessive load of
high school teachers. Please

-A movement to line up
Southern Methodist University
alumni behind the candidacy
of Attorney General Gerald C.
Mann for U, S. senator was be-
gun today.
Smack Reisor, president of
the SMU Ex-Students’ Asso-
ciation, issued a call for a spe-
cial meeting of the organiza-
tion tomorrow night at a rally
to endorse Mann’s candidacy.
A meeting-of the 8MU S-Let-
termen’a association will be
held in conjunction with the
rally.
Reisor said the group action
would he the first in behalf of
the attorney general since he
announced for the place made
vacant by the death of Sena-
tor Morris Sheppard.
satisfactory so far as the num-
ber1 of pupils In each section is
concerned, but teachers have
too many classes. Most of the
high achfcol faculty are teach-
ing six and six and one-half
periods per day, S. G- the Eng-
lish teacher teaches six classes
in English, total of 171 pupils
per dsy, and keeps a study
hall.
Cf the 22 teachers in the en-
tire faculty, 20 of them have
degrees, and the general su-
pervision of the school is
good, for the sjyierinteadaat
does no teaching and has an
opportunity to do supervision.
The School Plant
The school is well located,
modern, spacious, well equip-
ped and nicely kept
The special service arrange-
ments are excellent
Guidance Program
There is no organized guid-
ance program in the school,
and this is a problem which
should be given' serious eoi£
Bideration in the future. ;
Summer or winter, ehtekens
seek protection from wind and
sun. Tamarix, desert willow,
lilac, Russian mulberry, and
other shrubs add to the com-
fort of poultry.

Once Said
“Ninety per cent of all men make enough
money between the ages of 80 and 50 to
keep themselves and families in compara-
tive luxury for the balance of their lives
... but lose it”
Carelessness, mismanagement and specu-
lation is the cause of most of these mis-
fortunes. A connection with a good bank
can generally prevent them.
