servants are enabled to fight the good fight of faith and ever prove
victorious: We humbly beseech Thee so to inspire us, that we may yield our
hearts to Thine obedience and exercise our wills on Thy behalf. Help us to
think wisely: to speak rightly: to live purely. Bless us in body and in
soul, and make us a blessing to our comrades. Whether at home or abroad may
we ever seek the extension of Thy Kingdom. Let the assurance of Thy Presence
save us from sinning: support us in life, and comfort us in death. O Lord
our God accept this prayer for Jesus Christ's Sake. Amen.

1) The Mystery Walker - I leave it to the Buttermilk Man - Clontonakelly

School). Runners-up (Professional), Sammy Osborne and Peggy Dullaghan.
Runners-up (Amateur), Sammy and Andrina Reid (Dossor School). Two years ago
Butlin's donated a cup for annual presentation to the teacher of the
All-Ireland Amateur Champions. This was first awarded to Sammy Leckie when
two of his pupils won the trophy, Last year the honour fell to Betty Staff
when the championship was won by Ken Sloan and Madge Anderson.
3) "Go and Read Your Bible" Here's a story I heard the other day which,
according to my informant is "the Gospel truth." A Belfast lady wrote to a
certain hotel in a cross-Channel seaside resort asking if she could book a
room for "the Twelfth Week." Back came the answer: "Dear Madam - Owing to an
error in your request we would ask you to state more definitely the precise
dates you require. As you are aware there are only four weeks in July."
4) (part article) Kathleen McCann, Camp? Quarter Sessions to have ..
Veronica McCann, recognised ... Omagh. The owner, Mr. Joseph ... It
was stated that both parents of the girl were dead, and at a family
conference it was agreed that the youngest of the four girls should be
nominated as tenant and the task of writing to the landlord was entrusted to
the eldest girl....
5) Mystery Rambler - Saturday Walker - Robert Wilson breaks new ground this
year with a weekly Mystery Tour. Instead of following a route mapped out in
advance he is pledged to take the first bus which passes - to anywhere - and
then start walking. Here he gives his impressions of his inaugural tramp
which was of four-and-a-half miles. Holywood Road was empty of traffic,
which gave it a Sunday morning air. But suddenly, from the shipyard, came a
machine-gun-like burst of riveting - and simultaneously a green bus hove in
sight at the Arches. So I took a return to Bangor for my first mystery walk.
A woman and a girl wanted off at Red Row, a mellow line of brick houses just
past Clandeboye post office. It seemed as good a time as any to start
walking, so I left the bus to its own devices and struck out along the right
fork, where a high stone wall curves round the Dufferin estate. CLICK image

Clarke and Eileen Blaney
5) Saturday Walker - Crawfordsburn and Clandeboye
6) (part articles) Brown fights on Kelly bill: Another Irish featherweight
is seemingly determined to halt the victory march of Belfast's rising young
Jimmy Brown. He is Joe King (Belfast), who has accepted an eight-round match
with Brown in next week's international bill at the Ulster Hall. Brown is
unbeaten in their fights as a professional, and recently stopped Jim Fisher,
a former contender for the local area title, in two rounds. British and
Empire champion Billy Kelly and Flavaino Ciancarelli, the Italian
featherweight, provide an attractive top-liner to the same programme.

3) The trolley-bus, in that darting manner peculiar to vehicles of its
breed, soon reached Whitehouse and there set me down - at the foot of Mill
Road. People who travel back and forth each day on this route are, no doubt,
well accustomed to it, but for me it had novelty enough. It is more than 30
years since I lived in the Shore Road area, and the whole place was barely
recognisable now. ....
