Jet Pilot Clarke
Homeward Bound
/
After Korea Duty
Welcome news reached a local
home early Wednesday, when at
1 a. m. a telephone call came to
Mrs. W. F. Bowman from her son,
Lieut. Wyndham Clarke, fn Japan.
The news which kept her wide
awake with happiness for the rest
of the night was that Wyndham
has completed his 100 missions
as a jet pilot in Korea and is
headed home.
The 23-year-old Sabrejet f^ier
told his mother that duties will
keep him in Japan for a short
time before the five-week home
ward flight begins. He expects to
be home late in August for a 30-
day leave preliminary to assign
ment in Europe.
Lieutenant Clarke has been sta
tioned at an air base in Korea
since October 1. He left June 17,
1952, after a leave at home and
was based in the Philippines for
several months before the Ko
rean assignment.
At his base, besides piling up
the missions he has served as as
sistant flight operations officer
and pilot instructor. He was pro
moted from second to first lieu
tenant last February. |

Southern Pines has its own flavor,
a personality unique among
towns.
We meant to write a real good
bye to our Pilot readers. But there
is too much to say. We never
thought we’d reach the point
where words would fail us; it’s
like a carpenter who suddenly
finds his faithful tools, fine for
everyday uses, won’t build the
heavenly structure he envisions;
or the musician whO' needs notes
not in the scale, to play the love
song in his heart.
We love The Pilot; we love
Southern Pines and all its people,
who have been so good to us; we
love the spirit of this dear town.
Southern, Yankee, Scottish, city
and village, clinging to old ways
even as it embraces the new;
friendly in a casual way but rush-
ing to help if there is trouble; in
terested, spirited, contentious,
cosmopolitan, beauty-loving, tol
erant and kind.
But in another way, it’s a ter
rible town: no one who lives in
Southern Pines for very long can
ever be quite satisfied anywhere
else. Sand-in-the-shoes works a
potent magic, and we are caught
forever in its spell. ,
Goodbye. God bless you. |

Old Picture No. 56 turried out to
be the graduating picture of the
Class of 1937 at Southern Pines
High school, we were informed by
several former schoolmates and
also one or two of the parents of
the young persons pictured there.
We had already spotted some
familiar faces—Bob Arey, Edith
Fullenwider and Joe O’Callaghan
among them—and wondered who

A reference to the * Pilot files
quickly gave us the names of all
the class members, who this June
observed tjieir I6th commence

a half dozen are now living here,
though a few others still caU
Southern Pines or Manly home, as
their families are still here.

right.
Our Old Picture series has been
running now for well over a year.
We have had a lot of fun with it,
and so, we think, have many of
our readers. Thanks to their in
terest, we have gathered a good
deal of information concerning
old buildings, and events and per
sonalities of former days.
We have noKljust about given
out of the old cuts, and the picture
series and Grains of Sand are run
ning out at the saipe time. Some
more old cuts may be found some
day, and—who knows?—Grains Of
Sand may have a reincarnation
too.
We revived Grains of Sand
about five years ago—the title,
that is; every column is different
according to the writer; there’s no
form of journalism more personal
It was started by Nelson Hyde
back in the early 1930s; James
Boyd wrote under its heading; and
others too, for all we know. We
were honored to use it, and hope
to see It appear again in The Pilot
some day.

It has been fun writing Grains
of Sand, and we have enjoyed the
warm, and quite unexpected,
reader response, with the feeling
that people looked for it and liked
it.
It has been fun working for The
Pilot. These have been wonderful
years. Always there has been a
feel-jig of accomplishment, that
satisfying feeling of working for
a paper playing a real part in the
complex Ufe of a richly varied, al
ways busy, fast-moving communi
ty— a community like no other;
There’s a great industrialist in Detroit, and a well-
known scientist in New York, and a famous states
man m Washington who will tell you that the best
way to relax from the cares of the day is to get behind
the wheel of a 1953 Cadillac.
And there are also thousands upon thousands of
other Cadillac owners throughout America who will
gladly add supporting testimony to these revealing
statements.
For these motorists know, from their own personal
experience, that there is no faster or surer way to
relax and refresh than to take to the highway with
a sipboth, comfortable, quiet Cadillac car.
It makes a man feel good just to sit behind the
wheel. As he glances about his Cadillac’s gracious
interior, he’s reminded that he has made something
out of his years—and that, in itself, gives a lift to
his spirits.
And then, once he’s out on the highway—well^
in no time at all, he’s as happy and contented and
trouble-free as it’s possible for a motorist to be.
He is surrounded with comfort—and his driving
is so relaxing and effortless and enjoyable that
his mind clears, as the miles go by—and his heart
grows gay and his outlook bright and hopeful.
He has literally driven his cares away!
You really ought to try it sometime. ComeXto
think of it, you ought to try it today . . . after year
day’s work is done. __
