SHELL SHOCK IS SLIGHT MENACE

Decrease Due to New Type Of Warfare, London Doctor Reports.

NEW YORK, May 7 (U. P)= Shell shock has been a negligible menace in this war, Dr. Lennox R. Foster, London physician and surgeon, said here. . Foster, who came to the United States to address the annual convention of the American Surgical Association, explained in an in- | terview that the decrease in effects | of shell shock appeared due to differences in artillery shell construc tion and tactical limitations of aerial bombing. “Part of the reason for this is| that an aerial bomb has a thin| metal case ‘and is largely filled with | explosives,” he said. “Therefore, | the wounds inflicted are normally not as vicious .as those of the old- | wpe artillery shell, which usually was shrapnel, | “Then, t00, in the last war sol-| diers were subjected to constant

At 18, Richard Rippberger, Pike Township High Sohool sophomore, may be the youngest airplane pilot in Indiana, In itself, that is a top distinction, But that isn’t by any means all that distinguishes young Rippberger, Last year he was Marion County's healthiest boy. His health was 99 per cent rfect-=30 adjudged In a +H Club health contest. And, as far as Dick knows, his health

hasn't changed one speck. But first about Dick's aviation career=-and career it's going to be, Too young for acceptance into the Federal Government's Civilian Pilot Training Program, Dick talked it over with his dad, an executive of the Lilly Varnish Oo, Dad agreed to pay for flying lessons, so Dick enrolled last January at the Roscoe Turner Air School in the same class with the college ©, P, T. P, students, the only difference being that the ©, P, T, P, students were learning to fly at Uncle Sam's ex»

Dick looks a bit older than 18 so his class mates took him for a regular Government student, After exactly nine hours and 12 minutes dual instruction flying time, Dick was ready to solo, His mother, who says she is "not against, but not exactly for” her son's budding avia= tion career, was at the Municipal Airport last Saturday. She was waiting to pick her son up after his Jesson=-she didn’t know he was go= ing to solo, He did though,

He took off and [landed three times solo==fifteen [minutes worth of singleshanded | piloting in all, And Mrs. Ripp+ {berger didn't realize the big mo= [ment for Dick had come and gone | right before her eves,

Saturday's solo hop was--lo use Dick's own words “just the begin. ning” of his flying days. Too young to be licensed as a private pilot the minimum is 18-Dick plans to put in more hours on his student's license and “shoot” for a commercial license by the time he is 18. It takes 200 hours to get the commer cial rating. Because it only takes five hours for a private license, Dick plans to bag both on his 18th birthday, That will be on Dec, 8, 1942, But he Topes | to ‘chalk up as much

as 400 hours by his 18th birthday, He's serious about this fying business, Beginning with his 18th birthday, he has mapped his career like this, Enter the Army Air Corps school at Randolph Field, Texas, go through Kelly Field, Texas, and then serve "at least three years flying for the Army.” After that he wants to join an air transport company as an airline pilot, His friends don’t think there is any doubt but that he will be an airliner captain guiding luxury liners through the airways within a very few years, About his flying instructor, John "He's a natural.” Of course, Dick plans to finish high school, This won't interfers with his flying because he can put in hours on week-ends and after school hours, Since flying 18 his “career” and high school a “necessity” Dick has to work at several “avocations.’ These include raising champion Guernsey cows, racing horses, and collecting firearms, He has won several prizes with his cows in 4-H Club contests at the State Fair; iy a pretty fair shot with the guns he collects, but about racing horses he has nothing to say because that's one thing of which Mrs. Rippberger definitely disapproves,
