After surviving a sodden-Summer and tip-toeing timidly into the so-called season of mellow fruitfulness, we were not what you might call prepared for the recent announcement that the Gassers and Gussel€rs·Co~~ittee had decided unamiously to come out of semi-retirement and hold an Autumn meeting, othe.rwise known as the Fall. Well, the Green Fool was rushed .back, curragh and donkey-cart from his Summer residence at Atatantigh to cover the proceedings. The subject.of this upheaval was none other than the standard of journalism in that mine of information "The Derry Steeple and Donegal Fews". Mr. Bumbridger, sipping a "itl!l got everything but alcoholn, suggested tkt the local correspondent was not presenting a true picture of life as the majority of people found it. At this remark 1-frs.

"Did you know", he said, "That in years gone by young priests from Donegal went to darkes~ Africa and the jungles of South Ame~ica to spread Christianity to the pagan peoples". "Well", he went on,·"things have changed, and the p88ans will soon have to come to Donegal to teach UA Christianity. Why, the Vietnamese have already moved into Gartan!" "God. Grief", screamed Joe the fope down at the door and he gulped down a pint of Fanta. Paddy the Pot then got up on his chair and asked, "what's this got to do with Journalism?" At which the meeting broke up in pandemonium as a hotelier from Dungloe broke his golf club over the Television set. The weather-man who had been in the throes of an Anti-Cyclone disappeared as the set shuddered to a stop.
