WAR Il VETERAN
PUT ON (HAINGANG

ATLANTA, May 8 (ANP)-
Vigorous protest was lodged with
the Georgia Board of Pardons and
Paroles over the treatment accord
ed 18-year-old James Stewart, hon.
orably discharged and critically i'll
veteran Of World War II.
The youth, discharged from the
army two weeks before, had failed
to come home and his anxious
mother sought the aid of police Of
ficials in finding him.
The youth, whom army doctors
say is suffering with dangerous
ailment, was finally found in the
Bellwood chain-gang camp, his uni
form changed to traditional prison
stripes, and lying in serious con-
dition in cell.
Stewart, according to his lawyer,
Lawson F. Turner, was picked up
by police as he got off the train, sent
to the chain-gang camp without a
hearing or legal counsel, and for
hidden to communicate with his
relatives.
The youth, it was learned, had
been sentenced to serve six months
on lottery charge a year before
the sentence had been suspended
when his draft papers came
through.
The lawyer, who carried the pro-
test to the pardon board, also
brought the case to the attention of
Criminal Court Judge John S. Nc
Clellan, who had meted out the SEN
tence. Judge Mcclellan, who shook
his head when the youth had not
even been allowed to take off his
army uniform, announced that he
would take the case underadvise-
ment.

THIS N THAT

enjoyment has been occasioned by
a visit from our aunt, Mrs. P. d.

Kenndy, both of Chicago, and who
are house guests in the lovely home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Willie Stevens.
Mrs. Campbell and her daughter
Mrs. Kennedy, came to Jackson

moment they arrived at Union Sta

host and hostess and our other
dear friends to make theirs a visit

at Parish Street Baptist Church.
Later in the day, as guests of a
good friend, Miss Lula Ford, we
motored to Hazlehurst to visit re-
latives and friends. On Monday af-
ternoon, along with other charming
guests, we ate a deliciously prepar-
ed turkey dinner at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Davis, w.

as guests of our boss, Mr.. Willie J.
Miller, we motored to Canton, Miss.
where we enjoyed tasty refresh
mentS at TolliVerS Cafe and visited
awhile in the attractive home of
Mrs Estell Nash, a former class
mate of our aunt.
On Monday night we attended the
graduating exercises of the Davis
School Of Beauty Culture, later the
Banquet given for the graduates
at the USO club and still later a
gay little get-together party at the
Blue Flame.
On Wednesday afternoon, thru
the courtesy of Rev. Cleveland
O'Bannon, we made another visit
to Hazlehurst and after a most en-
jOyable visit with our coSinS, MIR.
and Mrs. Willie c. King, and our

the Valley Bottom Cafe, had a tasty
supper and were shown around this
very fine business by the owner,
Mr. Ernest Washington, a young
man who has built for himself one
of the most successful businesses of
its kind in South Mississippi.
On Thursday evening Mrs. Camp

In loving memory of my dear
mother, Mrs. Eula Lovelady, who
departed this life here on earth
November Is, 1889.
Six years have passed dear moth
ed since God has called you home,
To be with Him in heaven around
the snoW-White throne.
We often sit and think of you,
when we are all alone.
For memory is the onlny thing,
| That grief can call its own,
l miss you, oh, l miss you,
How could l help but cry?
But if I live as you lived
I'll meet you again bye and bye,
No one nkows of the sadness,
Only those who have lost can,
Tell of the grief that is borne in
silence.
For the one I love so well,
1t is sad to part with friends we
love,
While here on earth we stay.
But then a brighter thought comes,
Well meet again some day.
God knows how much we miss you,
Never shall your memory fade,
Loving thoughts shall always wan
der
To the spot where you were laid.
