Guth & Tuairim, Iúil 1980

I~ The ·Lower Rosses 3 The salmon fishing is very poor so far. It is no ·use going out half the time with the weather being so calm. Bernard Ward, Burtonport and Billy Boyle, Roshine hav~ landed the highest catches so far. Sergeant 0 1 Hara has taken up duty at Bunbeg and ~ everyone wishes bim well. He is replaced by li<~Q) Sergeant Burke who came from Dublin. Did you hear ~ aoout Meenan's Morris Minor? He raffled a 1959 Minor and made £300. It was won by a Dungloe man and Peter bought it back for £100, and then sold it the next day making a good profit. He never liked that Morris since it killed Yaggie Peter's dog. . An unusual competition took place in Burtonport ~ recently when two l~ies took up an Ame~ican idea of 1 -g cutting the lawn with scissors. We dont know who won.

Conquer Cancer had their collection on the. same day. Condy McNelis was to stand at the F .G. table so he took up his place at the table nearest the Church not knowing about the cancer collection. Condy was there very early, people were donatin~ generously and he was whistling away. However the F.G. table was next to the road and very little was go~ng into the box. John 0 1 Donnell came and gave Condy some help and when all was over they counted the money. "My God", says Condy, "Fine Gael never had such a huge .collection like this before". John looked at him very sharp. Condy could not get home quick enough to tell Kitty. He says to Kitty, "It's great going up to Garret in Dungloe after that big collection". Kitty went further into detail and discovered Condy stood at the wrong table. When Con Bonner, Milltown heard about it he had a great . laugh. He said, "That wouldn't happen to me and they think I'm stupid~ Q) ~ I "The Listener". •rl KEADUE ~ s.. through to the 2nd round of the County Championship 0 0 having easily disposed of Convoy in the first round.

Despite opposition from some sources in Irish Danci ng, Feis an Fhalcarraigh proved to be one of the best Feiseanna in the County thi s year. It may have been disappointing for the organizers to see the lack of support from some dancing teachers - particularly from areas well supported by dancers from the r-a1carrach area, but the large attendance thoroughly enjoyed the events. .
