Bobby Jones Abroad

We can't claim Bobby Jones; that right
goes to Atlanta. But he was here for so long
time and endeared himself to so many
Wilmingtonians that whatever he does,
wherever he goes, is big news for u.s.
Thus when we learn that he is in London
as intelligence officer with fighter unit
it is almost as if one of the family had been
summoned for an important duty and we feel
certain he will measure up to his opportuni-
ties in the invasion thrust.
Major Jones was here for some months
of intensive training. He found time to lee
ture on war matters to the high school pupils
and on one notable occasion spoke briefly
to the KiWanis club. But always he was hop
ing for the order that would take him closer
to the actual war. When it finally came we
may well believe he was as thrilled in his
quiet way, as when he took the highest honors
in golf, or when he won his first case at the
Georgia bar.
May his services at the front be as dis
tinquished as when he was the worlds champ
ion golfist.
