veterans of world war II. are
Betting along fine.
Clare (Red) Mosley, 23. Fred-
ric Hensel. 38. Jimmy Wilson, 27,

are proving that determination
and persistence can overcome
the Immense difficulties of lead
ing a normal life with both hands
and both feet amputated.
Smith, of Middleburg, Fa., was
the Korean war's first quadruple
' amputee. He was sent to Walter
Reed hospital to recuperate from
his wounds, but in his darkest
days the American Legion took
over to brighten his future. The
Legion sponsored raising of a
trust fund that reached $118,261
It was presented to him on his
21st birthday Nov. 7, 1951.
la Bomber Crash
The first quadruple amputee
of World War II was Jimmy Wil
son, the only man to survive the
crash of an Army bomber in the
mountains of Vermont in 1944.
He lay injured many hours in
a blizzard and spent 15 months
fix hospitals. After he had been
fitted with artificial legs and
metal hooks for hands, he quick
ly learned to drive a car, dial
the telephone and do a lot of
other things.
When he was discharged in
1946, Jimmy went back home to
Jacksonville Junior college, then
the University of Florida and
finally the University of Colo
rado, where he and his attrac
tive wife, Darleen, recently re
ceived degrees. Jimmy got his
law- degree and Darleen became
a bachelor of arts and sciences.
Harvests Hay
"We've already built a house
in Denver and we'll make our
home there," said Mrs: Wilson.
"Jim intends to practice law and
me I'll just stay home and keep
house
Fredric Hensel, the other
World War II quadruple ampu
tee, is a working man and no
fooling. He runs a 143-acre cat
tle farm and bay harvesting bus
iness near Pinson, Ala., and said
he is "doing fine."
I n particularly busy now
and have been all summer," Hen
sel said, "cutting and baling hay
for other people. We have all the
equipment to do it and dont
raise enough hay on our own
place to keep it busy so we have
to get out and harvest other peo
ple's hay crops." .
Hensel operates a specially-
equipped tractor himself in this
operation.
Hensel was a maintenance ser
geant on Okinawa when a land
mine exploded when be stepped

neered. He has 37 days more ter
minal leave before he is dis

just resting at home.
"'I'm just going to start taking
things easy," he said, "I just
want to get the feeling of being
Mr. John Q. Civilian again."
He enlisted In October, 1951,
and was sent to Korea early last
fall: Two weeks before Christ
mas he was in a B-29 shot down

drives his 1907 Rolls-Royce.
According to Melton, there
will be 93 makes of cars, most
of which will be brand new to
the very young.
"Of all the cars on the tour,
230 were built before 1915,'
Melton said. "Nineteen of them
go back before 1903. Some were
put together before the turn of
the century."
All of those on the tour have
to keep going under their own
team. And speaking of steam,
one of the oldest cars is
Locomobile Steamer, vintage of
1899. But the whiskered entry
is an Autocar No. 2, which was
made in 1898.
Fords Have It
There will be more Fords

late Henry Ford had himself
time while he was turning tin
into something mobile during the
20 years of the Model T when he
produced at least as many cars

That should bring back mem

chanics. We used to clean the
spark plugs with barlow knives
and tie -the doors shut with bal
ing wire.
Each model owner carried his
own tire -pawning equipment
and some tire , irons against the
inevitable, flat tires on country
roads.
The old Rolls-Royces and
Duesenbergs in the parade still
can give some of the fancy dans

a measured mile.
