‘Lord Haw Haw’ Is
Formally Charged
With High Treason
LONDON, June 19.—(A>)—William
Joyce, the American-born ‘‘Lord
Haw Haw,” who taunted the British
over the German radio, has been
formally charged with high trea
son in ancient Bow street court.
The charge was based on the con
tention that “between Sept. 2, 1939
and May 29. 1945, being a person
owing allegiance to his majesty the
king, he adhered to the king’s
enemies elsewhere than in the
king’s realm—to wit, the German
realm contrary to the treason act.”
Joyce, looking older than his 39
years, .showed little emotion as he
heard the magistrate read the
charge and was bound over for trial
beginning June 25.
Londoners queued up outside the
Bow street court to get a glimpse
of “Haw Haw,” who appeared on
the docket with a half-dozen drunks
and prostitutes. He had been
brought here from Brussels by air
Saturday and spent the week-end
in a Bow street cell. He still was
limping from a bullet wound in
flicted in his leg by one of the
British officers who captured him
near Flensburg.

SMILES AFTER TWELVE DAYS OF BATTLE—Marine Pfc. Harry Kizir
ian of Province R. I. grins from behind his whiskers as he completes 12
continuous days of fighting on Okinawa front. He carries two rifles and
an extra helmet. _
Mary Haworth’s Counsel
Girl, 21, whose mother has kept
her in fear as long as she can re
member, now has panicky crying
spells at work.
DEAR MARY HAWORTH: Is it
natural for a girl to be always
afraid, especially of her mother?
Ever since I can remember, my
mother used to scare me if I did
something wrong. Now I am 21
and she still treats me as a child,
or worse. She pries into every
thing I do and everywhere I go.
She demands an explanation if I
come in after 10 p. m. and threat
ens to kill herself if I come in at
that ‘‘ghastly hour” again.
Recently I have become so afraid
of her that I even have crying
spells at the office. I have a good
position where I am treated very
well; but how can I overcome this
feeling? Also, a young man re
cently came to work for the com
pany and as our work brings us
together we became friends and he
asked me out. I accepted; but
each time I had to “sneak” out. I
had that frightened feeling and
couldn’t enjoy myself.
Now he has asked me to marry
him, which poses the problem —
How can I ever marry if I am not
permitted to bring him or any
male friends home? Should I leave
home and try to make myself a lit
lance, ought to abandon their bed
and board at express train speed,
in search of a chance to live de
cently.
However, the saddest feature of
that devilish brand of rearing is
the fact that, in many cases, it
makes lifelong cowards of the chil
dren; so that even after they are
full grown, and perhaps earning
enough to launch themselves, they
hang back from asserting inde
pendence because they can't mus
ter the courage to try their own
wings. Let us hope your mother
has not done that much damage
to you.
DON’T LET FEAR
RULE YOUR LIFE
In dealing with her, keep in
mind the text of Franklin D.
Roosevelt's first inaugural address,
"The only thing we have to fear is
fear itself." Her threats to kill
herself if you insist on gradually
branching out into adult behavior
don't impress me in the least. They
are just about the most contemp
tible form of bulldozing rant a
mother can rise in coercing a child.
The passing of such a woman from
the face of the earth would not
justify mourning, in my opinion.
And if, in a fit of insane venom,

Hardin Brothers
Meeting At Home ,
KINGS MOUNTAIN—Pvt. Ken
neth Hardin, U. S. army, today
met his brother, Max "Blackie”
Hardin, R 1-c, U. S. navy, whep
he arrived home on a 30-day
leave after doing service with the
5th army overseas.
Pvt. Hardin entered service a
bout two years ago and has spent
about 13 months overseas, during
which time he did not see his
brother Max, who was serving with
the navy in Pacific waters. Pvt.
Hardin participated in several ma
jor battles and is now home on
furlough before being re-assigned
to duty in the Pacific theatre.
Max arrived home several days
ago, also on a 30-day leave, and
was here to greet his brother,
Kenneth, when he arrived. Ra
dioman Hardin has been serving
with the navy for about two years,
many months of which have been
spent overseas. He participated in
many Pacific battles including the
beginning of the battle of Okina
wa.
Radioman Hardin will report to
Raleigh navy headquarters when
his leave is up, and expects to be
re-assigned to duty in Pacific wa
ters.
she should do violence to herself
with the idea of tormenting you,
the sin and the crime would be
solely hers to expiate before the
judgment seat.
When she makes threats about
taking her life, somebody ought
to tell her to go slow about meeting
her Maker. The avenging angel
has her on his books, for steeping
your soul in fear, instead of cher
ishing you with the perfect love
that casteth out fear. What are
your rights in the situation? You
are entitled to freedom from fear,
and if you must quit her home to
find that freedom, then so be it.
Get going. In support of moral and
social welfare, every young person
of courtjfig age needs a lodging
place wtfiich braces self respect,
where friends of good character
are well treated.—M. H.

Baptist Board
Endorses County
Hospital Plan
Unqualified endorsement of the
proposed hospital bond election
to be held July 7th has been made
by the general board of the Kings
Mountain Baptist association
which comprises more than forty
churches in this area.
“This is not a political question
but one that concerns humah lives
and in the name of humanity the
general board urges that the
membership of the forty-odd Bap
tist churches in the Kings Moun
tain association vote for the en
larged hospital program,” one
member stated this morning.
It is pointed out that the Bap
tists maintain a large hospital at
Winston-Salem, the Methodist op
erate the splendid hospital at
Duke university, the Presbyterians
the fine Presbyterian at Charlotte
and all these institutions are
crowded to capacity. The spokes
man reminds the voters that ex
tended hospital and medical care
are in accordance with the teach
ings of Jesus Christ and he ex
pressed the hope that church
members of all denominations
would register this week, the last
registering period, and vote for
the county-wide hospital program
in the election to be held July 7th.
Voting will take place in each
of the 26 precincts of the county.
The trustees of the county-wide
unit will come from each of the
eleven townships.

Minister Criticizes
Patton9s Profanity
—i
LOB ANGELES, June *.—<*)—
Gen. George 8. Patton’s speech In
the Los Angeles memorial coliseum
last June 9 was criticized by Dr.
Don Householder, co-pastor of Trin
ity Methodist church, In a sermon
Sunday entitled "Profanity in High
Places.”
“What should have been the most
glorious celebration Los Angeles ha^
experienced in her history tamed;
out to be the most tragic In the
profanation of the name of God
repeated over and over again by the
one we met to honor. Gen. George
S. Patton,” said Dr. Householder.
"Never in our country’s history
has there been such a public pro
fanation of his name,” said the
minister. "One could even sense the
protest within the hearts of the
people and in many sections of the
large audience audible resentment
was expressed.”
The city of Stettin has some o:
Germany’s most extensive ship

construction.
YES, YOU
MUST REGISTER
You may have been voting in regular city, county
and state elections for years, but YOU MUST RE
REGISTER to vote in the SPECIAL HOSPITAL BOND
ELECTION to be held Saturday, July 7th. The law
says that all elections involving the levying of a tax
or issuance of bonds, require a RE-REGISTRATION.
So don’t neglect to register this week. It’s your last
chance.
THIS IS LAST WEEK
See the registrar in your polling precinct any time
this week and register. That is legal. If it is incon
venient to call on your registrar now, you can find him
or her at your voting place Saturday, June 23, until
6 o’clock. That’s your last opportunity, but the elec
tion is too important to put off registering until the
last day. Do it NOW.
SOME REASONS WHY
I have been asked to serve as general chairman in
promoting the election. I gladly accept the task be
cause Cleveland County’s greatest need now is larger
and better hospital facilities in Shelby and Kings
Mountain.
I believe in promoting health and adequate hos
pital and medical care for our people—all our people,
poor and rich alike.
Here in Cleveland, we have active civic, religious,
social and patriotic organizations, pledged to the up
building of our county.
We have 70 or more strong churches, a fine school
system, excell in farming, rank at the top in industrial
output, so we must have adequate hospital facilities
for the sick and afflicted.
Christ, the Great Physician, not only healed
men’s souls, but relieved them of their bodily
afflictions. He passed this power on to his dis
ciples. We do not have healing powers, except as
we provide hospital and medical care for our sick
and afflicted.
WHY WE MUST NOT FAIL
The hospital is now crowded to such an extent that
new-born babies have to be put in bureau drawers and
bath tubs because there are no cribs for them. At
times, patients have to be put in hallways where there
is no privacy, because all other beds are filled. Do you
want this to happen to you or yours?
In the past 20 years the local hospital has had
35,004 patients. This is a 300 per cent increase hi
the past ten years. 4,585 babies have been de
livered in the hospital in 20 years, seven times as
many as were born in the hospital just ten years
ago.
The School of Nursing has graduated 129 nurses
sindl 1925. These practice their profession in army
camps, in hospitals, in homes and offices, relieving
suffering humanity and prolonging life.
SOME DAY YOU MAY NEED IT.
You majr never have needed hospital care for your
self. Make no mistake about you, some day YOU like
ly will need hospital care. Without it, it may cost you
your life or shorten your days.
It will cost a little, to be sure, but suppose it
does? What is money compared with life, health and
happiness ?
It’s economy to you to have a good hospital at
home. Elsewhere they are filled and you can seldom
gain admission.
Thousands of you industrial workers carry hospital
insurance. Your policy is good only if there is a hos
pital bed available. Let’s make it available for all who
need hospitalization.
Read future advertisements which will explain
everything about the election, the hospital program for
the county, the tax rate, the trustees which will come
one from each of the townships and the operation and
maintenance of the proposed county hospital system.
