1) 14th April 1961 Ashleigh House School,
Windsor Avenue, Belfast 9 14.4.61 Dear Dorette, Just a line to thank you
very much indeed for the promised article and those few kind words! I can
hardly wait to see my name in print!! I did laugh when I read the Electrolux
episode - I often wondered why we had so much trouble with it! I met your
aunt by marriage in Rostrevor when I stayed there last weekend, and she sent
you her love! She is very nice, and very capable, I imagine. She said
probably I would see you before she would! Again many thanks for all your
labour! Yours sincerely Constance Finlay

Letters
 
Dunmurry Presbyterian Church 19th May 1961 - Dear Mr. Poskitt, When I agreed
to baptise the baby it was without any thought of reward, as I appreciate
the fact that you wished me to officiate. I had no idea that the envelope
you gave me contained such a generous gift. We greatly appreciate it, both
for its intrinsic value, and even more the appreciation which it expresses.
Mrs. Donaldson joins me in sending our good wishes. We hope that Mrs.
Poskitt and you will find increasing happiness in Michael, and that all the
hopes which you entertain for him will be fully realised. Please accept our
sincere thanks, With kindest regards, yours sincerely, J. Albert Donaldson

Triumph Sales Limited, Coventry England 3rd April 1964. Mr. Poskett, 7
Bristow Park, Belfast 9. Dear Mr. Poskett, We are writing to apologise to
you for the most unfortunate difficulty which developed at the last minute
concerning the handing over of your new Triumph 2000 Saloon at our Coventry
Factory, on Thursday last, and we feel that a detailed explanation is due to
you - to say the least. What had happened was that Messrs. Clarence
Engineering Co. Ltd., of Belfast had correctly ordered your car on the
Factory, with instructions that in this particular instance, exceptional
arrangements were to be made so that the customer might arrange collection
of the car in Coventry. Whilst this arrangement is not one which we can make
as normal routine because in a volume production plant each days production
of some 600 units has to be marshalled and moved rapidly away to avoid
congestion, we are naturally pleased to take special steps when specially
requested. The car to the required specification was correctly built a few
days before your arrival, and it was perhaps fortunate in one sense that on
the morning of April 2nd, one of our Quality Examiners - carrying out a
random check on the car park - noted that your car had suffered paint
contamination whilst waiting there for collection. This is a danger
which we have to face because when a car comes straight off the final finish
line and has to wait for a few days on the car park, at a time when the
paint is not in a completely 'hard' condition, there is a risk of
contamination from cyanide or other effluence of nearly factory chimneys.
When you arrived, the car was half way down the paint line, and in fact the
first operation of repainting was completed by 3.30 on that day, but that
car is still not completely to our required standard of quality. We greatly
appreciate your patience and understanding in what was a difficult
situation, and we trust that you have now had time to appreciate your new
Triumph 2000, and this is giving you the satisfaction you expected. Yours
faithfully, Standard-Triumph Sales Ltd., B. J. Roberts, Distribution Manager

Elizabeth, Poynings, 5 Wincroft Road, Caversham, Reading - Many thanks for
your change of address card. So glad you spent an enjoyable holiday in Palma
again. We didn't go very far this Summer, only had 10 days in the Channel
Islands, Jersey and Alderney, the former is John's old home and we have
friends in the latter, so it was a different sort of holiday from usual. We
are, however, off to Innisbruck for Christmas, going on the 21st and
returning on the 28th. Hope the weather will be suitable for flying!! Yes,
we will certainly let you know if we ever come to Belfast, many thanks.
Also, do let us know if you come anywhere near here - we are about 40 miles
west of London.

Venice, The Square of St. Marks, Antonio Canaletto
1697-1768 - Well, Christmas is with us once again. Do hope you had a good
holiday this Summer? Where did you go this year? We broke new ground -
Yugoslavia, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We spent a week in the North at
Opatija and a week in the South at Dubrovnik and travelled from one to the
other on a boat cruising through the Dalmatian Islands - it was lovely.
Whilst staying in the North we did a day trip to Venice, which is fab.
Should like to spend a whole week there, I was pottering round the canals,
various streets and islands - it is a photographers paradise. Bertha(?) and
Eric Cocks came to see us last Sunday, when they saw our collection of
transparencies. They are wondering where to go next year. We haven't decided
on anywhere yet, although we may pop over to Normandy for Easter, Shall look
forward to hearing your news. E.

1) Dramatic Advance in Water Supplies. Over the
next ten years the construction industry in Ulster is likely to be called
upon to bear unparalleled burdens, the Prime Minister, Captain Terence
O'Neill, said to-day. Upon its ability to bear them will depend in no small
degree the scope and pace of our advance, he said. The Prime Minister was
speaking at the opening of a £1 million reservoir and treatment works at
Killylane, between Larne and Ballymena, for the Mid-Antrim water works joint
board. He unveiled a plaque to mark the official opening. He said the
project by any standards was a development of real significance. It would
afford a water supply to 60,000 people over an area of 280 square miles and
the reservoir would contain almost 300 million gallons. These were
impressive statistics. £33 million. The Prime Minister said:
"The improvement of water and sewerage since the end of World War II had
been dramatic and has involved extremely large capital expenditure. "From
the passing of the 1945 Act up to March 1963 the expenditure on grant aided
schemes exceeded £33 million. This huge sum of public money has been well
and necessarily spent. "When the programme started, facilities in far too
many areas lagged grievously behind the standards of the mid-20th century.
It was necessary to give a high priority to an urgent programme of expansion
and improvement." The Prime Minister added: "If our programme for growth
needs the fullest co-operation between central and local government, it also
demands the highest productivity and technical competence from the local
construction industry and the professional organisations which sent it. Let
us not under-estimate the tasks which face us." Bouquet
Presiding at the opening was Mr. J. H. Lindsay, chairman of the board, which
is composed of representatives of Ballyclare Urban District Council, Antrim
Rural District Council, Ballymena Rural District Council, Larne Rural
District Council and Larne Borough Council. Mrs. O'Neill was presented with
a bouquet by Elizabeth Lindsay, grand-daughter of the chairman. The Prime
Minister received a gift from Mrs. F. Poskitt, wife of a partner in Ferguson
and McIlveen, the consulting engineers, and Mr. Lindsay was handed a gift by
Mr. S. Taggart on behalf of Farrans Ltd., the contractors. A reception
afterwards was held in the King's Arms Hotel, Larne.
2) Premier will
open £1m. reservoir. A Reservoir first planned almost 20 years ago will
supply more than three million gallons of water a day when it is opened by
the Prime Minster, Capt. Terence O'Neill, next week. The reservoir and
treatment works at Killylane, Shane's Hill, half-way between Larne and
Ballymena, has cost the mid-Antrim Waterworks Joint Board almost £1 million
to build. It will supply areas round Antrim, Ballymena, Ballyclare and
Larne. The capacity of the reservoir is 292 million gallons, supplied by
four tributary streams of the Glenwherry River. The scheme was originally
initiated in 1945 by Ballyclare Urban and Antrim Rural District Councils.
These two bodies were later joined by Ballymena and Larne R.D.C.'s Finally,
in 1945, Larne Borough Council entered the scheme. Almost 15 miles of trunk
mains radiate from the works to three main points. A clarifier to provide
additional settling capacity before filtration has just been constructed at
the site. The catchment area has been leased to the Ministry of ....
Eire may curb cigarette advertising. Control of cigarette advertising is
under consideration by the Government in Dublin. Mr. Blaney, Minister for
Local Government, when questioned by Dr. Noel Browne (Lab.) in the Dail
yesterday, said control of cigarette advertising was under consideration and
his department was in communication with some of the interest involved in
cigarette advertisement with a view to considering the operation of a code
of standard. It was hoped to arrange a discussion on the subject with those
interested in the near future. Dr. Browne in his question asked the Minister
whether he intended to take any steps to limit or control in any way the
continued advertisements of cigarettes in the public Press and on television
in the light of the recent incontrovertible and authorative evidence that
they could cause lung cancer.

1) A brown Shetland pony called Henry should be
the proudest member of his species in County Down. For the fair-haired
little girl who rides him frequently is the youngest member of the Royal
Ulster Agricultural Society. She is two-year-old Sarah McIlveen of
Woodlands, Ballynahinch, and when she was elected to the Society in
November, 1965, she was only seven months old. Henry, the pony has, in fact,
a double reason for being proud. Another of his riders is Sarah's
four-year-old brother Samuel, a former holder of the youngest-member title.
Their mother, Mrs. Anna McIlveen, explains, "The children's grandfather,
Lieut. Col. James G. Cunningham, has been connected with Balmoral for many
years and was last year's president. "My husband's firm were the architects
for the new Members' rooms. Since we have been closely connected with
Balmoral we thought it would be nice to maintain the link through the
children." The children's riding is not too ambitious. The pony is kept on a
lead-rein - just in case of accidents, 'But he is very good with children,"
says Mrs. McIlveen. This year the children will not be far from the jumping
enclosure. Already they have a deep interest in horses - and their father
will again be a judge in the Balmoral jumping competitions.
