What the Newspapers
Say

Charlotte Observer.)
Union County is now making
proud claim to Judge Walter Brock
by adoption. 1t wants to add him to
the list of its distinguished and has
perfect right to do so. 1t is the
proud boast of the Monroe Journal
in that connection that Union has
produced President of the United
States, governor of North Caro-
lima, secretary OF the treasury, a
couple of college presidents and
now, since the appointment OF Solici-
tor Walter E. Brock to succeed Judge
w. ]. Adams, it has a Superior
Court Judge by adoption Brock
was born in South Carolina, but
grubbd for his living in North Caro-
lima. 1t is developed that he enter
ed school at Wingate on a credit
and while there cooked his own
meals. Climbing rung or two
higher he worked his way through
Wake Forest College. He started out
for that institution with $500 in his
pocket and came out with several
notes to disturb his dreams, but
these he paid off, and between
teaching school and practicing law
managed to fight his way to position
on the Superior Court Bench
Brooks career is of the sort to ex
cite the admiration of the general
public; it is stirrtr OF 'be human
impulses, and he will assume his
new duties with a consciousness
that the kindly feeling of the State
is with him.
BASKERVILLE Citizen.y
1T is mild expression to say
that Judge Brock has made a SPLEEN
did impression on bar and people.
He has begun his work in a way to
give the public confidence that he
has the learning, backbone and
sense of justice to make an excellent
arbiter and administrator ON the
bench"

He possesses that which great
many do not possess, to-wit, a good,
healthy supply Of old-fashioned,
practical common sense, and it has
been our experience that one who is
possessed of this rare quality and
puts it into practice, as a rule, sue

he puts his hand. We believe that
Judge Brock will fill the position to
which he has been elevated with
credit to himself and to the Thir-

Mr.. Brock served as solicitor
seven years, having been first ap-
pointed to that office by Governor
Craig, and thereafter elected by the
people who approved his vigorous
prosecution OF criminals. He is a
splendid lawyer, has had long and
successful experience at the bar and
is eminently qualified for the
judgeship."

Concord, N. C. MN
Hon. Walter f. Brock, of Wades-
boro, N. c., for a years solicitor,
whom the Governor made Judge
to succeed Judge Adams ION the SUI
perior Court Bench, Isl the son of
preacher, and with slight training
could himself be made an AL
preacher. This appointment is just
as fitting and happy as that of
Judge Adams.
Already they are talking about
probable candidates to contest with
Judge Brock the nomination for the
iudgeship of the 18th district, at the
coming primary next year. At any
rate, Judge Brock will have secured
not little from this promotion. The
press has made the public wise as
to the mans fine qualities, how he
overcame obstacles, poverty and
many trials in his youth, but the
finest of the qualities, which his
personal friends already knew, is
that he has that which all men do
not possess, genuine gratitude. !"

Asheyiile, N. C.
"A fortunate circumstance brought
Judge Brock to Ashcville for his
initial appearance on the bench. The
excellent impression which he made
upon the attorneys is attested by
the resolutions which were adopted
by the members of the Asheville
Bar. He disclosed none of the halt
ing embarrassments of the novitiate.
He met every issue as it arose with
a fairness and firmness that won
instantaneous recognition.

If a fine poise of body and mind,
a keen discrimination in decision, a
capacity for an unlimited amount of
hard work, and power to speed up
the court machinery to capacity
speed, be qualifications for a seat on
the bench of the Superior Court of
North Carolina, then Judge w. E.
Brooks first session Of the Court in
Madison has amply justified his APP

How the Augusta Chapter
is Helping Service Men

But the Red Cross never gives up just
cause. Again and again and again they
pressed the claim.
Ultimately their persistency was reward
ed-the claim was allowed.
Relieved of worry the man improved. He
has been discharged from the sanitarium
and gives promise of full recovery.
One great service rendered by the Red
Cross is that of putting in claims and filling
out papers. A sick man, discouraged with
life, depressed over the apparent unwilling
ness of the government to pay him what he
believes his Just dues is often unwilling to
bother He is not in the mental state to
make the fight.
But the Red Cross is. Many Of the just
claims of Augusta service men which were
finally allowed would never have peen paid if
it had not been for the Red Cross.
Here is another typical case handled by
the Red Cross this year.
A man of education and culture, former
SCllOUl tGdCHeI put III q CldlIIl luz COIupeIlSd-
ton. He received compensation for awhile
and them due to misunderstanding his
compensation was stopped
The Augusta Chapter could not seem to
get the compensation renewed so they
called on the Red Cross at Washington for
help. It was a case of real need for i'm
mediate action as the man himself was
tubercular and he had two children without
other means of support
In less than week the claim for con-
tinued compensation was allowed and the
first check was received
Much good work has been done for service
men now at the State Hospital-victims of
mental disability.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-11-10

Cold statistics tell only part of the story
of what the local chapter is doing. Here
are concrete examples of their work Of help
ing service men:
Take first the case of three overseas men
who were discharged but later had to give
up as result of disabilities incurred during
the War; All three men were married. All
three had to 60 to the hospital.
Claims for compensation were filed but
the unwindng of red tape was long drawn
out process, while the feeding Of wives and
children was an immediate need.
So the Red Cross stepped into the gap.
Regularly weekly sums were paid to each of
the three men, their wives and children were
relieved from want-the Red Cross stood
by.
Ultimately, through the good services Of
the Red Cross, two men received their COM
pensation mad vocational training. The
third, though not allowed compensation, is
getting vocational training.
In making loans to service men the money
is advanced as a loan and not as gift. If
a service man is awarded back compensation
he is expected to repay the loan; if he is not
he is not expected to return it.
Here is another Augusta example of Red
Cross service:
A man was discharged in poor physical
condition. He was quiet, reserved, unag-
gressive man. He never complained-he
did not push his claim.
tuberculosis set in and he was forced to
go to sanitarium.
The Red Cross took up the case but could
not convince the authorities that this mans
disability was contracted in the service
though it seemed very clear case.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-11-10

For example one young man of good edu-
cation, a former government employee
whose nerves gave way as result of expert
ences overseas. His claim was put through
by the local chapter and compensation al
lowed.

Here Is Another
Incident

A woman whose husband was killed in
service was receiving compensation for her
three children. Suddenly, without appar-
ent reason and without any explanation, the
compensation checks stopped. 1t was
long-drawn-out case, which could never have
been carried through by the woman herself.
After repeated filing of papers and at time
when the mother was desperate for the
money rightfuly due her, the Augusta
Chapter secured for her both back COM
pensation and continuance of the COM
pensation checks

Many pages could be filled with the record
Of the services rendered through 1922 bv
the Augusta Chapter of the American Red
Cross to service men and their families.
And this is only part of the service rem.
dered by the local chapter. lis work in
teaching life saving methods, it's baby
clinics and its thousands of other services
have justified its existence thousand times
over
surely 1t is an honor to be enrolled as
member of the Red Cross. Surely you will
renew your membership for 1928.

One half of every dollar membership,
$3.50 of every S. membership and $3.50
of every $40 membership to the Red
Cross stays in Augusta to be spent on
local relief work and other Red Cross
activities.
What Augusta Chapter
Has Done
Here is what the local chapter has done
through the past twelve months:
$50 Ex-service men have been given
advice and assistance during the past
year, regarding Government claims.
43 Ex-service men have been given
financial assistance while waiting for
compensation claims to be adjusted.
1894 has been given these men either
as loans or outright
1887 Persons have been interviewed
at the Chapter office.
1445 of this number were ex-service
men who were assisted in various ways.
43 EX-service men were assisted in
filing applications for compensation on
account of disabilities incurred in serv-
ice.
1911 Government forms were made out
in connection with compensation claims
and 256 copies made of discharge certifi-
Gates, letters, forms, marriage and birth
records
Is Augusta young people were taught
methods of Life Saving by Red Cross
Instructor.
145 Examinations of IS individual ba-
bies have been made at the Red Cross
Baby Clinic.

The reception hall Is papered
with dull gilded canvas. and a po--
there hides from view the adjoining
living room and dining room. 1t Is
just the tiniest reception hall, yet
II Is interesting. At one side Is a
mantel of malachite marble with an
open fireplace. A pair of pagoda
bronze lanterns, instead of being
suspended, rests on the manteI shelf
at the ends, with a low bowl hold
ing a jade tree of flowers between.
A triangular shelf built in the
corner Of the wall Is painted black
and has a narrow panel Of black
embroidered satin hanging straight
down to the floor at either ex-
tremity. This leaves a wide open
ing between the two panels. dis
closing a golden Buddha on a small
triangular table. The glow of the
statue is intensified by electric
lights which are concealed behind
the panels and, shining full on the
statue, cast a shadow at both sides
of it.
The table is covered with an
Oriental embroidered piece of GRIM
son satin. Directly before It on the
floor Is an incense burner. placed

ornamental Oriental sandals. These
are within the Enclosure. Outside
of it on the floor are a carved ivory
sword and a long, soft prayer
pillow. On the shelf forming the
top of the Enclosure is another
bronze lantern. Across from the
fireplace is a wide spring uphol-
stored bench raised one step up ana
covered with brocade and pillows.
There Is no movable furniture In
this room. yet 1t has comfort, mys-
terry and charm.
The doorway leading into the
living room is an arched opening.
Crossing 1t is a square pole set
down about a foot from the top.
This is fitted with square curtain
rings instead of the regulation
round rings. The portiere Is of
jade green taffeta. A row of Jade
glass beads as big as marbles are
sewn to its lower edge, weighing
it down nicely. The portiere is
dropped about eight inches from
the pole at the top and is connected
with the rings by means of jade
green silk chords. The affect is
pleasing. THIS handling We gladly
suggest to any one of our readers
who find on moving into new
quarters that their portieres are
too short to fit the changed door

living room and dining room. The
opening Is Gothic arched. and
neither portieres, doors, nor screens
are used. Instead is a graceful
wrought iron double gate. The
walls are painted a pale tint of
jade green. A cornice, artfully
curved. has the electric lights which
illuminate the living room con-
cealed behind it. On the wall in
lieu of pictures are several won
derful specimens of batik.
The dining room has no cornice.
Side lights are supplied in clusters,
with wrought iron candle brackets,
and these are supplemented by
three branched candlesticks holding
wax candles. A long, low walnut
sideboard nearly fills one end OF the
room. Above this Is a medallion
bas-relief. The only other wall
ornament, for there are no pictures,
Is a cunningly modelled wall foun-
tain. The floors of both rooms are
completely covered with velvet
carpets of deep dull jade green.
The back porch has been glassed
in and made into a breakfast room.
The walls and furniture are painted
in two tints Of light lemon yellow
The floor is covered with a buckle
berry blue carpet. The blue silk
lamp shade. made over intense blue
glass, casts a curious light, chang
ing the color scheme to green at
night.
The kitchen is CHEEKY. The wall
is light gay green. There are no
china closets, but shelves have
been knocked into the wall. The
woodwork of these is stained dark
brown. The shelves are shallow.
The plates, gayly decorated, are
stood upright behind protecting
strips of wood which are painted
bright scarlet. A grandfather's
clock ticks pleasantly in one cor
ner. Beneath a dish rack stands an
old walnut hutch that would do
credit to a living room. Pots and
pans are huddled behind its con-
cealing doors, and silver and nap
perry are in its drawers. Several
square stools have squarely boxed
cushions upon them, and thees have
slip covers of green plaid bingham.
The rather long lower sash curtains
are of green chambray, and the
shallow upper ones are of white
Swiss.
Don't you think this is a fasci-
mating little apartment for a male
person to have interior decked all
by himself? 1t almost twinges our
amour propre to admit 1t lacks
nothing-not even the much Wanted
feminine touch!
