Brady's
BLARNEY
By A Brady Called J. P.
Can't remember when I've
been happier about anything
than the appointment last week
of "our own" Judge George B.
Patton as attorney general of
the state.
Anything I might say now
about this high honor that has
been bestowed on "your court
ship" (my favorite title for the
judge in pre-attorney general
days), would be anticlimax.
Since the announcement he's
received bushels of plaudits (all
deserved) and has been vari
ously described as "capable", "a
man of dignity and prestige",
"a man of ability, wisdom, and
courage", and "a great North
Carolinian".
There's little left to say, even
for one who would like to speak
out just as strongly in his fa
vor.
Although not intentionally,
somewhat stilted newspaper ac
counts of his appointment miss
ed the real facet of Judge Pat
ton's personality which, in my
way of thinking, even more
eminently qualifies him for the
terrific responsibility of his new
office.
This overlooked prong in his
make-up Is his very obvious
love of his fellowman and his
?down-to-earth and homespun
application of common sense to
their problems. Now stir in some
of Judge Patton's wonderful
sense of humor and native wit
(they certainly can use a little
more of this in government to
day i and you've completed the
picture of. the man who accepts
the challenge of his office with
a respectful enthusiasm and a
determination to see it through
to the best of his ability, and
one, who, if given the oppor
tunity, could step even higher
in serving his state and its citi
zens.
My happiness over the ap
pointment, however, is rimmed
by a touch of regret, almost
sadness.
I'm going to miss my curb
side chats with "your court
ship"; chats that somehow al
ways, even in their lightness
of humorous stories and chid
ing remarks, give me a lift
mentally. The Judge has a

: knack for making you forget
your troubles for a while and
j even when you return to them
I you find that his advice has
knocked off the rough edges
and they're not half as serious
as you thought they were.
Tep, I'm going to really miss
that man, but even so, he's al
ready made me "feel a little bet

"Just remember this," he told
me the other day, "when you're

Fijom 'way out in San Diego,
Calif., comes a letter from Mrs.
Kate R. Hobart, a native of
this county. She writes:
?*'1 enjoy your 'Blarney' and
columns so much that I am
| sending you this (column t from
j a San Diego paper, hoping you
i will like our style."
j The column she enclosed is
I entitled "Ripples . . by Dan
Anderson. Here 'tis:
Life holds its share of bitter
pills ? . . . Faulty self-start
ers, shoes too tight . . . Brok
en appointments, past-due
bills . . . Missed buses rolling
out of sight . . . And plenty
more woes to annoy ... Us
many ways, but I insist . . .
The farthest opposite of joy
... Is when a joke's whole
point is missed. ... I ven
ture on a little jest . . . And
wait for a responsive smile
. . . Only to hear, "Well,
what's the rest?" . . . Or,
"Let's play cribbage for a
while." ... I don't insist my
jokes should draw . . . Laughs
that knock plaster off the
wall . . . But it's like punches
on the jaw . . . When they
get no response at all.
And Mrs. Hobart many
thanks for the kind words about
'Blarney', make's a fellow want
to do better.

V. C. Ramey, of Marietta, Ga.,
writes (this seems to be our
letter week) that my picture in
a recent issue of a bird attack
ing the B. B. Scotts' cat is a
mocking bird and he cites an
other instance of seeing two
birds jump a cat.
As will probably be the case
with the Scotts' "Ginger", he
says, "he takes it very patient
ly, but some time I expect
'Tom' to have a lovely feast,
for most cats have a very 'fowl'
stomach."

What makes a Catholic really CATHOLIC?
There are many people today who claim to be Catholic, that
is, to believe in and belong to the Holy Catholic Church estab
lished by Jesus Christ. Yet like other organizations they can
make all the claims that they wish and yet not be a member of
the true church. I can claim to be a member of the Masons, or
the American Legion or the Lion's club but if I do not become
a member of these organizations, pay the dues demanded or
keep their rules, I cannot be classed as a member no matter
how much I might claim to be a member. Nor does the mere
profession of a Creed constitute one a Catholic. To be a true
Catholic one must be a member of the Organization which is
truly Catholic.
Why? you might say, do you apply the term "CATHOLIC" ex
j clusively to your Church, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH? Because
j our Church alone is Catholic or universal in TIME, DOCTRINE
j and EXTENT. The Catholic Church is universal in time since
she has existed in perfect continuity from the time of Christ
j and will last until His Second Coming. The Catholic Church is
] universal In doctrine, teaching all His gospel, and administering
I all His divine means of salvation. The Catholic Church is uni
! versal in extent, not being confined to any particular region or
j nation, but is widespread among all the nations of the world. To
what degree? Figuring that you were counted, we announce that
of the two Billion, four hundred and forty million people on
earth, there are four hundred and seventy two million Catho
lics. That's about one out of five.
Do you say that you are Catholic? Do you recite the Apostles
Creed in which you say that you believe in1 the Holy Catholic
Church? Make sure that you are truly Catholic, belonging to an
organization founded by Christ, universal in time, doctrine and
extent. The word Catholic does not denote a mere quality. One
either is Catholic or he is not.
Write for information on the Catholic Church.
