The only bit I did not care about was the gun practice, are you both wanting to assist J. W.'s ? Do be careful your Father is quite pleased in your chance, but he says it is rather too far a journey to get a shot at a rabbit. Glad you are so comfortably fixes imagine Mr? Irish or I wish? you will enjoy a chat with him. Saturday Morris? H.? was taken in taxi to hospital water? on lung this is very bad. Mabel is attending Sandy very well indeed. Auntie Mary is much better & stood at Shaftesbury Square for two hours & enjoyed seeing the Orangemen I viewed it from the Ri?y. Rain Rain here. After Saturday & I ? for letters.

2) 25 Lothair Avenue, Antrim Road, Belfast 14.7.1937  Dear George & Bertie, Thanks very much for the postcard. Hope you will enjoy your Bus Tour, it is very dull in Belfast, hope it will be nicer in Ilfracombe. I have not packed yet? I am waiting for my white shoes to dry. We were at the Troxy on Tuesday as Uncle Bob got the afternoon off. As we were going in an attendant handed Aunt Mary a postcard of Shirley Temple, which she gave to me, it is very nice. We saw Stanley Lupino, who was very funny, & a cowboy picture. With Lots of Love Mabel
3) Wed.  Dear George & Bertie, Glad to hear that you like your present abode & hope the sun will shine on you both for the rest of your stay in England. We had a great letter from your Uncle John & he thought you were Scotland Yard Detectives when he saw the smart Nephews. He knew you alright but was waiting to be introduced to Bertie. Well the 12th passed off alright & we went out to see the procession & managed to see a part of it as it was started some time before we saw it. Your Father said that the procession took 2 hours to pass along from start to finish but I don't know how long we stood. I had my stick & with "Faither" I managed to see quite a lot. The pictures yesterday were splendid & I hope I will see the Thursday programme as it will be good also. I will give you the laughs in your Uncles letter when I see you. I will be waiting at Waterloo Street to meet the 2.4 p.m. train on the 20th & Uncle hopes I will suspend all the star turns I did lately & not make Waterloo Street famous. You never miss the water till the well runs dry & I have missed my first aid man very much also the waiter with my breakfast. I have just come back from seeing about my luggage being sent off tomorrow, the time is fairly flying seems no time since I came here but the short time I have been able to get about makes it seem that. With love to you both your loving Aunt Mary

The Essay and the Map Question (No. 1) are compulsory. From the remaining questions on the paper, only six are to be attempted, and these six are all of equal value.  About half an hour should be spent at the Essay.
Write an essay on one of the following subjects:-
(1) Come to Ulster for your holidays.
(2) Shopping week.
(3) Any important industry in your own neighbourhood.
(4) How you can help Ulster Industries.
1. On the outline map supplied (no map) mark the exact positions of the following towns:- Strabane, Coleraine, Portadown, Enniskillen, Cookstown, Newcastle, Londonderry, Larne, Armagh and Omagh.
2. Ulster has a moist climate. To what causes is this due? What do you consider are the advantages and disadvantages of the climate to the products and industries of the province?
3. Explain why Ulster produces large quantities of butter, eggs, and bacon. What are the principal markets, outside Ulster, for these products, and who are our chief competitors in these markets?
4. For what industries are raw materials obtained in the Antrim mountain range? State the chief means of communication and the ports that serve the locality.
5. Name five articles made of various types of linen suitable for Christmas presents to send abroad. Describe the types of linen of which the articles are made.
6. Make a list of five or six household articles which are imported into Ulster, and which are produced equally well at home. What districts would benefit if we used only the home product in each case?
7. The approximate values of sea-borne exports from Ulster in the year 1927, were :-
Exports                        Values
Linen                  £16,000,000
Cotton                     5,250,000
Woollens                   500,000
Machinery               3,000,000
Live stock                3,000,000
Eggs                         2,000,000
Ships                         4,000,000
Make a diagram to show graphically the relative importance of these exports - (exports to be arranged in descending order of value).
8. Give an account of the inland and sea fisheries of Ulster. To what markets, outside Ireland, are the fish sent?
9. What sources of power are used for driving machinery in Ulster? Tell what you know of any recent developments in this connection.
10. In Ulster many industries are carried on to which no reference has been made in the foregoing questions. Name three such industries that you consider of importance; state why they are important, and where each is carried on.

1) Torpedoes Greek Steamer. Three of Crew Killed, off the Donegal Coast. Twenty-nine survivors of the crew of 32 of a Greek vessel which was torpedoed off Tory Island (North-West Donegal coast) were landed by lifeboats at Carrigart (Co. Donegal).  Three members of the crew were killed in the explosion when the vessel was torpedoed. The ship was on a voyage from the Argentine and carried a mixed crew, the survivors, consisting of 23 Greeks, two Portuguese, one Brazilian, one Pole, one Dane, and one Britisher, the last-named being Chief Engineer. On Monday evening the U-boat appeared and without warning fired torpedoes. There was only time to launch one boat, and many of the men had to jump into the water. At length the 29 survivors managed to pack themselves into the lifeboat and rig up a sail. They had reached within four miles of land when they were picked up by a local fisherman, who brought them to land, where they were hospitably treated. All were in an exhausted condition and most of them were suffering from injuries, the most seriously injured being a man who had part of his nose blown off. The submarine did not make any attempt to assist in the rescue work. The ship's car and several chickens perished. ~ back: clothing prices

3) Two Derry Men Rescued. Plucky Portuguese Sailors. A large crowd of holiday makers at Downings, County Donegal, watched a dramatic rescue of two Derry bathers by Portuguese seamen who were in the town following the sinking of their ship by a U-boat. Mr. James Stone, a school teacher, of Bishop Street, Derry, who was on holiday in the town, was bathing on Monday night when he got into difficulties. His cries for help were heard by Mr. John Duffy, Waterside, who immediately went to his assistance. Duffy also got into difficulties. Both were almost at their last gasp, Stone's plight being the more serious, when two Portuguese sailors, who were expert swimmers, dived from a 30ft. pier and quickly brought the drowning men to safety. The sailors, in addition, applied artificial respiration. Duffy revived quickly, but Stone only recovered after several hours' work. He is now making satisfactory progress at Downings. ~ back: nothing much
4) Rescued Seamen who Rescued Bathers - Victoreno Ramos and Manuel Leman (left), members of the crew of Greek steamer torpedoed off the Donegal Coast, who rescued two men from drowning at Downings, just after they themselves had been saved. Standing behind is Mr. A. Smith, Port Missionary British Sailors' Society, and to the right are Anastaceo Santos (interpreter) and Mrs. Jones, Matron at the Sailor's Rest, Dock Street, Belfast, where the men are staying. ~ back: "The Widow's Mite" was £5, Schoolboy's Threepennies. Shillings have been flowing into the "Telegraph" office in an ever-increasing stream since the first announcement was made on Wednesday. By every post come cheques, registered letters, money and postal orders, and even stamps to swell our "Spitfire" Fund.
5) First Time Home in Four Years. Sergeant's Welcome. In Megain Presbyterian Church, Newtownards Road, Belfast, on a recent Sunday morning Rev. R. Hall extended a welcome to Flight-Sergeant James Dougan, R.A.F., of Bloomdale Street, Belfast, a member of the famous No. 502 Ulster (Bombing) Squadron stationed at Aldergrove prior to the outbreak of war, who has returned home for the first time in four years. The squadron, like all special reserve units of the Royal Air Force, was composed of approximately one-third regular and two-thirds non-regular personnel, the majority of whom were skilled tradesmen. Flight-Sergeant Dougan, who has served in practically every theatre of war, was injured on an operation, and has now to walk with the aid of crutches. He received a gift from the neighbours of Bloomdale Street. His uncle is Mr. John Thomson, 13 Pine Street, Belfast. ~ back: Houses/rooms/apartments to rent.

     Alpine test for Ulster cyclists. When 27 people gather at the Albert clock, Belfast this evening, about to leave for a holiday in Switzerland, they will have with them properly worth almost £1,000 - their bicycles.  It is the largest party of cyclists ever to leave the city on a Continental holiday.  All of them are members of the Cyclists' Touring Club. They present a cross-section of many occupations, and the senior member if old enough to be the youngest grandfather.  The holiday has taken well over a year to plan. It was at Christmas, 1949, that Mr. W. P. McCormick, an enthusiastic member of the club, first put forward the suggestion and sounded the opinion of others. When many showed interest in the idea he began his task of organisation. The detailed route and prospective costs were prepared, and enthusiasm among members of the club grew so great that the list had to be closed. The 27 members of the party from Belfast (they include six girls) will be joined in London by two from Dublin, and on the Continent by two more Ulster members who are already awheel in Germany. For all but half-a-dozen of them, this will be their introduction to Continental travel. The tour is planned to last 16 days, the main party being due back on July 22.  A few who have the time available intend to prolong their tour. The cycling does not begin in earnest until the week-end. To save time the journey is being made by the Anglo-Swiss express from Calais right through to Basle.  There the party will split up into two sections - one energetic, the other intending to take things a little easier - but they will all be together on two days and five evenings of the tour.  For the 19 enthusiasts (three girls are in this section) the 400 mile route lies through Zurich, Lucerne, over the Furka and Grimsel passes, both about 8,000 feet high, to Interlaken and then back through Berne. One night will be spent in a hotel on the top of Mount Pilatus over 7,000 feet above sea level. The other section has a route of 300 miles through Lucerne, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Berne and Olten. Most of the bicycles have been fitted with specially low gears for the passes. Mid-day meals will be taken in the open, and overnight accommodation has been reserved in guest-houses and hotels along the route.  On the way back there will be three days in Paris, and a day in London for a visit to the South Bank exhibition. Youngest of the party is 13-year-old Donald Robinson, whose father, Mr. J. Robinson, 14 Bannagh Corner, Cregagh, is also making the trip. The cost? They hope to have the 16 days inclusive for between £32 and £35.
     It would have taken more than the rain to dampen the spirits of these 27 members of the Cyclists Touring Club who left Belfast last night for a 16-day tour of Switzerland. They formed the largest party of local cyclists ever to undertake a Continental holiday. For the more energetic section, a 400-mile route includes the crossing of several 8,000-ft. passes. In the centre is 13-year-old Donald Robinson, of Cregagh, youngest member of the party.
