Guth & Tuairim, Márta 1980

The Lower Rosses 4 . the charm and qualities ot Capt. Pe-.coolt. 'l'he ODlt The Burtonport Rowing Club held a supper dance in Ostan na Rosann a few weeks ago and it proved to be a big success. An old-time Waltzing Competition was held and the winners were, Mr. & Mrs. Packie Walsh, Burtonport. 2nd ;;nrs Naul McCql"' an:i Mrs. Carmel Kelly. In my opinion I think the Jrd placed Mr. ~tter and Mrs. Boyle, Lackenagh ~ere out on their own. The judges were Connie Boyle, fishermans Co-op and Big John Doogan, Perth. Then there was a competition for the best dressed man and guess who won it - the son of a tailor, Naul McCole, and you all knQif the judge P at the Cope. Charlie was delighted next day when he heard Naul won, but when Naul told him it was not his tweed suit Charlie went rockers. Sylvia said to Julie, "there are better dressed men ~ere tonight, look at his figure". However, good cuck Naul. That belt at the back got it for you. c see that there were large signs erected at Mickey Bonners wall in Glenahilt three days after nGuth 7 Tuairim" (Feb.) was printed. Somebody said Francie McGovern got them up because ·he w.as fed up fixing the wall every time a car knocked it down. active man that differs with the T.V. characters is . Mr. Grace (winder) • Mrs. Sloald.• and Mary the Yank are much the same. The onlY real personality there is Rosemary Gorman who resembles Miss Browne. Pat Gildea and Charlie Breen found a fox on the road in Acres last week. They were informed that there was a big reward for fox.rur so they immediately went to the Garda Station .to collect their money. Unfortunately, the Garda on duty had no cash. The · reward was to be given to a local char~ty - P.M.H.F. (Pat Hurray Holiday Fund), which was established to send Pat to Edinburgh. Better luck next tilDe boys.

Cll J:l Eddie Quinn is back home after working in Holland and he is all Dutch. I think •Guth 7 Tuairim" should get Fr. McDyer to write an article on his pilgrimage to the Holy Land. I overheard a conversation between two golfers a few days ago. One of them said, "Its a pity Father McDyer· would_not stay away . for a few months, we might have . a chalice of winning som~ kind of Trophies or Cups". You know the P.P. is Golfer of the Year. I dont know where he is going to put his cups and Trophies when he moves to his new house. Everybody in the Rosses is glad to hear that Dr. Delap and his wife are improving after a car accident in Co. Monaghan. When P addy the Cope founded the Cope and a large number of people became members it was to help the poor and keep prices lw. Now however, people from this area are paying Taxi's and Mini-buses to take them to the North and to the Supermarkets in Letterkenny. So what has happened to the ideals of Paddy tne Cope? Talking about the Cope (who made a large profit last year), the staff remind me of nAre You Being Served?"
