CoIoneI's Wife
Lexington Native

Of interest to the many
friends in Lexington and
Holmes County of Col. and
Mrs. Brady Cole and family
is a feature story concerning
the couples military expert
ences and present plans. Mrs.
Cole is the former Rosalie
Moore, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. c. Moore.
The article, reprinted from
the Cleveland (Miss.) paper
follows:
There is a couple living in
Cleveland who have four
children under %, one a
WeSterner, one a Southerner,
one a Northerner, and one an
Oriental = and not one of
the four is adopted.
Col. Brady Cole of COS
Fifth Avenue has brought his
wife and children, Alethalie,
who was born in California;
Richard, in Florida; Brad in
Illinois; and Roy in Japan,
home to Cleveland after COM
pleting 20 years of service in
the Air Force.
For the past two years the
tall, good-looking retired
colonel has been keeping
very busy as a rice and cot
ton farmer.
Col. Cole received 13 med
ais for his outstanding and
distinguished service during
his 20 years with the Air
Force. In 1858 he was given
Command Pilot Rating, the
highest rating awarded in the
United States Air Force.

During the Berlin
Airlift, the Cleveland High
School graduate, who served
during both the Second WV
and the Korean War, flew
the first C-74, the largest
type aircraft in the AT In
fantry at that time, across the
Atlantic.
MY mission was to check
the runway, and landing
facilities at Templehoft, Ger
many, a base in the American
zone in Berlin, to make sure
the runway would support
the C-74."
However he was held over
at Frankfort, Germany for
siN weeks to haul heavy con-
str u C tion equipment from
France to Berlin. He made 26
flights into Berlin with such
equipment. When he finally
reached Templehoft it was
determined that Air Base
would not support the CAT.
Col. Cole also made four
trips into Berlin with coal,
$4,000 pounds each trip. ALI
coal used in Berlin had to
come in by air.
Over The Hump
Col. Cole flew D-24 gas
transfers and C-54's over the
hump in India until just be-
fore the end of the war.
Il had one special flight
into Shanghai, China, at the
end of the war seeing
Shanghai was like looking at
New York City, after being
in India"
Following the war he flew
special missions worldwide
as directed.

your own happiness quOtient
By EARL UBELL

OCIENCE, which has been investigat.
ing everything from allergies to zygotes
in the last few years, has gotten around
to the important subject of happiness.
As you may have read lately, the
University of Chicago's National Opin.
Evening star., 1963-09-29

ion Research Center has done large.scale survey
to discover just what determines that desirable but
elusive state. Now we have arranged to get copy
of quiz that used in the survey (see right so
that you can find your own happiness score.
Our battling emotions
In the original survey interviewers questioned
over 1900 people in four Midwestern towns. They
found that person is never just happy or unhappy.
Our nature is contradictory: we can be happy and
unhappy at the same time. Different feelings war
with each other and exist side by side.
You have positive feelings Of achievement and
friendliness battling negative feelings Of disaster
and loneliness The more powerful feelings deter
mine how happy you are at any particular time
And so your happiness quotient is constantly
changing, and, as you read on, you will see that
there specific ways that you can make it change
for the better.
Doctor Peter ROssi, head Of the Center, says,
This study confirms that mo is an island; that
happiness in some measure comes from being with
and depending on other people Our feelings come
nmany respects from relationships with Others" "
But first, take The quiz at the reia. Circle the
number under the sUOrd that best describes your 0nssUr.

R. H. LEADER

R.H. LEADER
IN PASSING of R. H. Amphlett Leader, these
islands have lost one of our most distinguished and valuable
citizens.
E A PERIOD of at least 40 years, MI. Leaders voice
was heard in practically every phase Of local activity, cover
ing the widest possible range. In fact, one can think OF no
acr1vity in which this man of affairs was not a part, or took
a leading role.
Mr.. LEADER often spoke of himself as a self-made man
and he had his career to prove it. He was the youngest 7. S.
Postmaster to serve at the Frederiksted Post Office. He later
read law, was admitted to the Indiana Bar, and at the time OF
his death was dean of the Virgin Islands Bar, Of which he was
president for two years. His clients ranged from the very rich
to the very Door.
LAWYER LEADER, as he was known by one and all,
headed up committees of all kinds, from those making econo-
mic and social studies all the way to the sport Of kings. Where
ever he went he commanded respect. Whenever he spoke
people listened. Orator, writer, Historian, humorist, Mr..
Leader was always in demand as master of ceremonies at
every type Of function, which his knowledge and wit would
eniven.
BUT LAWYER LEADER perhaps made his greatest con-
trbution in the inspiration he provided BY example. Coming
to young manhood at a time when formal education beyond
the elementary school stage was not the order OF the day, this
youngster set out to make a professional Of himsef-and he
did. Even at an early age he made his influence felt BY team
4sing up with D. Hamilton Jackson and Ralph de Chabert in
giving form and substance to the labor movement. Out OF this
also grew a free press to which Mr.. Leader was a constant
and influential contributor.
THESE ISLANDS are better because r. H. Amphlett
Leader gave so much Of himself. His place will be missed.
