From the Daily Mercury, Friday 29 January, 1937:
HOLIDAY MEMORIES.
FUN IN THE MOONLIGHT.
(By "Old-Timer").
As Mackay people, in holiday mood, wended their way towards the wharves on Christmas morning, and wished one another the compliments of the season, one heard repeatedly the question, "Are you bound for Brampton, too?" When all had embarked, the ship slipped quietly down the stream, and made a record trip to the island, arriving in time for all to do justice to the Christmas turkey.
The island spirit imediately pervaded the atmosphere, and on Boxing Day a program of aquatic sports caused much amusement. The new palm-leaf swimming shed and diving board were very popular, and the winners of the various events were loudly applauded, when they received souvenirs of the island as trophies. During the afternoon, the "Skipper" escorted the party to an interesting portion of the coral reef.
A masked fancy dress ball was held that evening in Brampton Hall, and prizes were awarded for the most original costumes. Farewells were reluctantly said next day, and though a sudden storm arose, it failed to inconvenience the departing guests.
As some visitors were fortunate enough to stay all the week, a fishing trip to St. Bees was arranged, and when the party returned in the moonlight, thrilling accounts of catching the "big ones" and chasing turtles were related. As the boat sailed up the Passage, the moon presented a remarkable sight, as the reflection made it appear like a huge red balloon.
The next party reached the island before breakfast, on New Year's Day, after a delightful trip across. They, too, enjoyed examining the coral groves with the aid of a water telescope, and there was much excitement escaping from stingrays and investigating turtle nests. One night a batch of baby turtles emerged on the front beach, and battled their way to the sea. Pig-hunting created another diversion for the male members of the party.
On Saturday afternoon's full tide, the "Laura" took a party cruising into all the numerous bays that surround Brampton and Carlisle. A song evening was held in the hall that night, and the lady who guessed the greatest number of songs represented was presented with a shell vase, made by the hostess. The sound of the launch "Riverlight" failed to arouse the slumbering community, but we discovered next morn that Mr. and Mrs. W. Field had arrived in the wee sma' hours.
The dull weather on the last day failed to damp the enthusiasm, and as the ship headed towards town, someone remarked: "All good things must come to an end! Au revoir Brampton!"

The article is technically about rheumatoid arthritis and the effects of alcohol... but I loved the title of it.
Researchers found that even the least frequent imbibers had less severe arthritis than the non-drinkers, an effect that increased as the drinking increased. The most frequent alcohol consumers had 20 to 30 percent improvement in symptoms compared to non-drinkers.

A man who cooked his pet dog in a backyard barbecue cannot be prosecuted because it was killed humanely, says the SPCA.
South Auckland man Paea Taufa was found roasting his pitbull terrier-cross in an umu pit at his home in Mangere, the Sunday News reported.
The dog had been skinned and gutted and was partially charred when SPCA inspectors arrived.
Mr Taufa said he had been surprised when inspectors arrived because dog was a delicacy in Tonga .
"I didn't know I couldn't cook the dog. In Tonga, any time there I cook the dog and it is okay. Dog is good food."
He had decided to cook the dog because it was too skinny and had become unmanageable. He rendered the dog unconscious with a blow to the head before slitting its throat, which is regarded as humane.
Under the Animal Welfare Act it is legal to kill a dog in New Zealand if the animal is slaughtered swiftly and painlessly.
However, SPCA Auckland chief executive Garth Halliday said Mr Taufa's actions were unacceptable.
"Although we appreciate the difference of cultures that exist in a place like New Zealand, the SPCA finds this sort of treatment of any animal to be totally unacceptable," he said.
"Even though the law says you can humanely kill an animal, you should not be treating any animal like this."
SPCA inspectors said there was evidence that killing and eating dogs was becoming more common in New Zealand.
Mr Taufa said he would not cook another dog.

DR JOHN W. BRAKE
Another one of the old-fashioned country doctors, now almost a vanished profession in an area that has passed, is gone., He is Dr. John W. Brake of nearby Dickson County.
The 93-year-old retired doctor died Tuesday in retirement. He had practiced medicine for half a century.
For many years Dr. Brake was a beloved and familiar figure on horseback with his saddle bags, responding to the call of the sick. He delivered thousands of babies, representing two generations.
It is said that he never mailed a bill for his services. He kept his records in a small book and when a patient paid he marked it paid. Needless to say his services were free in innumerable cases.
In this age of specialization general practioners are becoming fewer. But the so-called country doctor who maintains his office in some community and responds to the calls of neighboors is almost gone, even as the horse and saddlebags of another era have vanished.
DR JOHN W. BRAKE DIES IN CLARKSVILLE
Dr. John W.. Brake, 92, Dickson County’s oldest physician, died Tuesday afternoon in a Clarksville nursing home, having been in failing health for sometime.
Funeral services were set today at 2:30 pm at the Woods Valley Methodist Church and burial will be in the Stayden family cemetery in the Woods Valley community. Dickson Funeral Home in charge.
Dr Brake was born in Davidson county, a son of the late George and Mary Stokes [sic? Stark?] Brake. He came to Dickson county when a young man and practiced medicine in the Woods Valley community until he retired a few years ago. He was a member of the Methodist Church.
Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Ray Abernathy and Mrs. S.F. Wade, both of Clarksville, Mrs Gilbert Freeman, Dickson; three sons, Barney and Glen Brake, both of Cumberland Furnance, John Brake, Dickson; 16 grandchildren, a number of great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.
==========
Dr. Brake Reviews Interesting Events As Rural Doctor
With national magazine writers predicting the "passing of the country doctor," in several leading publications of the nation and with a great amount of interest having been attached to the colorful career of the average "practitioner," who administered to the sick of the community in the past, the Leaf-Chronicle presents the article below which tells of a part of the activities of one of the CIarksville Area's most outstanding country doctors. He has carried on a continuous practice of medicine for more than a half a century. This man is Dr. J. W. Brake, who resides in the Woodvalley Community of Dickson County, and who needs no introduction to hundreds of people within a 75 radius of his home.
Born in Davidson County in August, 1865, Dr. Brake received his education mostly in the schools of that county. Receiving his medical diploma from Vanderbilt in the spring of 1885, he moved Dickson County, where he started out in 1888 on his career in medicine, possessed with a horse and "saddle bags." inside the saddle bags were medicines, instruments, and other paraphernalia which could be used to relieve the sick people of the community as prescriptions and drug stores were almost unknown to the rural people in those days. He was to become one of the most prominent physicians of the area, and enjoy the respect and admiration of hundreds of people in four counties. Since doctors were few and far apart in the latter part of the 19th century, the "practice area" often reached out for 40 to 50 miles from his home.
Rode For 30 Years
"For 30 years," Dr. Brake says, he carried on his practice "in the saddle," purchasing his first automobile in 1917. However, due to conditions of rural roads, the automobile was not used but very little for calling on patients, many of whom resided far from the main roads, their home been accessible only on horseback or by buggy. The doctor says he never used a buggy much in going to see patients, for it always seemed "bundlesome," and then in case of dark nights or times when creeks had to be crossed, he could make it better on horseback, as the horse could swim the creek, and "keep the medicine dry."
He owned several fine horses during the 30 years of "horseback practice," but he says there was one in particular which left a memory which time could not erase. This horse was known far and wide as "Henry," and the doctor declared that, "that horse had more sense than some people." Illustrating what he meant by the remark, Dr. Brake said that Henry had a very peculiar characteristic in that he couldn't "stand hitched." The doctor always left the reins unsnapped from the bits. henry would just "make himself at home" while his master attended the sick, and if there was food on the place, "Henry would find it," and be ready to speed away to the next call when the physician came out of the house and called "H-e-n-r-y." Seldom did he have to call more than one time before Henry was right there ready to go. However, on one occasion, the doctor explained, when he had ridden over to the county seat to pay his taxes, and turned the horse loose as usual, several farmers were in town for the same purpose and seeing the horse "running loose," hitched him to a tree or hitching post. No sooner had they left him, Henry reared back and broke the reins, then another fellow happened along and "hitched that loose horse" again. This kept up for some time. Well, when the doctor got through with business and looked for Henry, he was minus a set of reins, had helped himself to hay and other feedstuffs left in wagons, but was ready to bring his master home at his call. Needless to say, the horse was attached to the doctor, and the affection was mutual, for Henry lived to a ripe old age of 32 years and six months, and was buried in a grave "like somebody, " when his career ended.
None Like Henry
Although the doctor owned several horses, he said he never learned to trust the others in the dark dangerous places as much as he trusted "Henry." One night when he was out in the "ore banks" near Cumberland Furnace, and it was so dark he could not see his hand held up in front of him, he got off a horse and was walking in front leading the animal, when he slipped into an ore hole. Not knowing how close he had come to some deep ore banks, when traveling would be extremely dangerous, the doctor spent the remainder of the night there.
After purchasing a large farm in Dickson County and having started on his career, Dr. Brake married Miss Beatrice Geurin, in April, 1889, and a large family was reared, the couple having celebrated their "golden wedding anniversary" some two years ago. Mrs. Brake, who was a true companion to her husband for more than 50 years of his life, passed away in June, 1939. Their first child, a daughter, died when nine years of age, and a son, Duncan Brake, is also deceased. The family now consists of four daughters, Mrs. Zolty Edwards of Cumberland Gap; Mrs. A.B.Harvey of Cumberland Furnace; Mrs. Gilbert Freeman, and Mrs Scott Wade of Clarksvllle; and three sons, Barney and Glen of Cumberland Furnace, and John Brake of Dickson; several grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Many Experiences
Dr Brake says he had had many varied experiences during his 52 years of medicine, but probably the one he remembers as being the most sensational happed "way back in the pre-war days" during a serious epidemic of typhoid fever. As this was before the day of modern inoculations which have served to almost stamp out the disease, each season, the country experienced many cases of the fever, known then by most people as "slow fever" which carried a high mortality rate. One particular family, the doctor says, sent word to him to come and see them, and when he arrived he found that the entire family of seven were afflicted with the "slow fever" and were in bad condition. "For several days, the doctor declared, "I just didn't know which way one of them was going to die first," and meditating a moment, he smiled and added, "but they all got well."
It was about this time the doctor said, while many people in the community were taking the fever, that he came home late one night, feeling "pretty rotten." After retiring, the terrible thought dawned on him that he must have "taken it." Carefully taking out his thermometer he took his own temperature and found he had more than three degrees of fever. and lay for some time trying to ponder what course he would follow in treating himself, and preventing members of the family from taking the fever. After probably two hours serious thought on the matter, he again reached for his thermometer, and this time he remembered to "jar the mercury down," which revealed that this little item had been forgotten when he took his temperature before, and instead of having a temperature, he was just tired.
One of Dr. Brake's hobbies and a sport which he enjoyed probably more than any other is hunting deer. He has made several trips to Arkansas to indulge in the favorite pastime. A fine set of antlers which used to hang in the hall, bore mute testimony of the doctor's marksmanship. He was a member of the old Clarksville Hunting Club. He has also traveled considerably, having visited Florida, and the Rio Grande valley, as well as making many trips to various parts of the state, and adjoining states.
In addition to carrying on an extensive medical practice, maintaining his own stock of medicines, and successfully operating one of the finest farms in Dickson County, the doctor has also been active in community activities. He joined and took an active part in building the Methodist Church near his home, and has been active in the church affairs, leading a consecrated Christian life in the community. He has also been a member of the Masonic Lodge at Cumberland Furnace for 50 years and will be honored with a 50-year membership dinner in the near future.
Although he is now approaching his 75th birthday, and has rounded out over half a century in rural medicine, the doctor continues to carry on his practice, and with the exception of the usual winter colds, enjoys good health.

"Village that towers above China" by
Jonathan Watts
November 14, 2011
www.chinadialogue.net/article/show/single/en/4623-Village...
Comment by Philip McMaster:
People favourably respond to Change
Generally speaking, people don't change for the better when criticized. But they do respond favourably to praise.
Huaxi Cun is not the worst place in China, and it has been following and sometimes leading the objectives and trends of the government and Chinese people - first it was to get rich - and clean up the mess later. We did this in the West on our own schedule, some Chinese are doing it now under the generally hypocritical pressure of the global community.
人们对改变的有利反应
总体上，当人们受到批评的时候，不会变得更好。但他们受到表扬的时候，总是积极反应。华西村不是中国最差 的地方，它跟从着-有时也领导着中国政府与人民的目标与潮流。这个目标首先是变富，然后再处理垃圾。西方按照自己的日程表也这样做过。现在有些中国人也这 么做，就面临虚伪的国际压力。
An aspirational monument - if you choose to see it that way..
When I was invited to Huaxi Cun for the inauguration of the “Village in the Sky”, (www.tudou.com/programs/view/05XpJXkiNwI/ ) I spoke of the new tower as a beacon for all to see, not in terms of opulence and excess, but as a towering 3 element "Symbol of Sustainability" - an aspirational symbol rising above all else - including the cookie-cutter villas, the grubby factories, the money focus and the faux world landmarks - to shock and awe viewers into realizing that all monuments have a message – and this one should inspire people to make the connection between Heaven, Earth and the People (Tian, Di, Ren 天地人) and that to achieve Wu Renbao’s “Heaven on Earth”… the Triple-Bottom-Line balance between Society, Environment and Economy （社会,环境,经济）must become Huaxi’s new ethic.
一个振奋人心的里程碑——如果你从另一个角度解读
我应邀了参加华西村“空中新农村大楼”授牌仪式(www.tudou.com /programs/view/05XpJXkiNwI/ )，当时我谈到这栋大楼并不是炫富和挥霍，而是华西村的一个新地标。比起那些千篇一律的别墅，脏乱差的工厂，一切向钱看的态度和人造世界景观，这栋摩天大 楼是一个振奋人心 里程碑，它作为可持续发展的标志建筑让人感到震撼和心生敬畏，它能让人们感到天地人和谐发展的信息，体现了吴仁宝“人间天堂”的理念。以社会，环境和经济 作为三条支柱，寻求三者的平衡发展是华西村的新理念。

"Now that Huaxi village is rich, what's next?"
Following my presentation, the new building’s architect Ma Xusheng, in turn praised my interpretation of his building’s design, saying that no one had thought of it before, but that “with your new ‘Society, Environment, Economy ‘meaning attached, our building is even richer”.
At a private dinner with village leaders the evening before, I had shamelessly asked: “Now that Huaxi village is rich, what’s next?” – hoping to encourage them to expound on how they were going to share Huaxi’s wealth and expertise with other communities and to build sustainable enterprises based on a model ecological civilisation… however the response was understandable, as a bit more thinking is required; and considering most people’s focus was still on showing off and celebrating what they have achieved so far, the answer was a simple “Gambei!”

“现在华西村富了，接下来呢？”
我的演讲结束后，这栋新大楼的建筑师马旭升（音）反过来称赞了我对他的建筑设计的诠释，说以前从未有人想到这个方面，“加上您说的‘社会、环境、经济’意义后，我们的摩天大楼更加富裕了”。
前一天晚上和华西村领导的聚餐上，我厚着脸皮问了一句：“现在华西村富裕了，接下来呢？”我当时希望他们能够详细阐述下怎样和其他地区分享华西村的 财富和技术，以及在生态文明模型的基础上建立起可持续发展的企业。但是，他们的回答很简单，就是：“干杯！”当然，这是可以理解的，因为回答这个问题需要 一些思考，而且当时大多数人的注意力仍然在炫耀和庆祝他们至今已取得的成就上。
