Loses Gas Card In Mid-Air "What are currency ami credentials compared to a gasoline ration card?" mouned Aviation Cadet Joe W. Shipley, of Shaw Field, the first person in the United States to report the loss of a ration card in mid-air. It waa not the loss of his tine leather wallet, or the 'money and credentials in it that worried Cadet Shipley moat. It was the thought of 21 gallons of precious gas gone with the wind that made him tit to be tied. The disaster occurred Just three days after he carefully placed his "A" ration card in his wallet for the first time. Little did he suspect the impending tragedy when he began a routine check flight with his Instructor, Lt. H. O. Williams, Monday morning. It didn't outer his mind when they doelded to try some acrobatics. While making a slow roll some 5,000 feet in the air, Cadot Shipley felt his wallet slip from the pocket of his troueor leg. lie saw it hit against the partially* closed canopy of tho plane. It was not until he reached the ground that ho found the canopy hadn't been closed quite enough. Once on tho ground tho piano was virtually torn apart by mechanics in their search for tho wallet and its contents. Their search, however, yielded only a 26-cent piece which they found nestling in the fuailugo. As for the wallet and ration card, they were somewhere between Shaw Field and tho Camden race-track. So, don't be alarmed if you soe searching parties tramping the countryside between Shaw Field and the Camden race-track. You know, now, what they're looking for. And it isn't the wallet.?Wednesday's Sumter !tem. ^ Moro than one-fourth of Great Brttaln'a airplanes now In sorvioe In the Near East are from the plants of American manufacturers.
