Still two problems at the crossroads (not the water problem- that one is there to stay), but the phone– box, parts of which are still lying there lonely awaiting the day it will be erected. \~e were hopeful when we saw the heavy concrete frame arriving, but we are still phoning from Cassia's and Peg's, God bless them for their kindness. The second problem is the simple act of shifting an E.S.B. pole and a P & T pole in order to widen the corner where the Lettercaugh road meets with the main road. It would eliminate a and blind corner. At a 'l s - Hock outside Dungloe a fe~ .~ers ago ~ Put who is the Alter-boy?
