3b) 1953? Wife, Mother, Soulwinner - Mrs. Charles E. Fuller steps before the
microphone every Sunday in the Old Fashioned Revival House and reads letters
received from listeners all over the world. Those who wonder what she looks
like, now have the answer. She tells us that when a girl at school she met
Charles E. Fuller, the man she was eventually to marry, a man at that time
devoted to making money which he did very easily. They have been married 41
years. "No couple have ever been happier. Our path has not always been
smooth - often rough, with losses, illnesses, disappointments and sorrow,
faced together." In July, 1917, Mr. Fuller was converted. Since then he has
worked even harder and unceasingly to reach out with the Gospel. Grace
Fuller is a home-making wife whose time is devoted to her husband and their
one son, Daniel, and helping her husband in every way in his work for God.
"As I look back over the years," she says, "life has been rich, full and
happy. I thank God for such a husband and for permitting me to have even a
small part in his great ministry. Daniel is 27, married and has a little
girl, Janice, who was born in July 1951.

7) 15th April 1959 Belfast Telegraph - (part article) Women don't favour
policy of sparring the rod in schools - Members of the Federation of Women's
Institutes passed a resolution in favour of caning in schools by 39 votes to
23 at their annual conference in the Wellington Hall, Belfast, yesterday.
Mrs. McEnaney, of Loughbrickland, who proposed the resolution, reminded her
audience that the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations had recently
passed a resolution that children should be caned by teachers or parents
when it was deemed necessary. She said that a circular sent by the Ministry
of Education to local education authorities and schools stipulated that the
cane should be administered only be the head-master or someone appointed by
him. "If you were a teacher would you feel about admitting to your pupils
that you had not the authority to administer punishment?" she asked.
Mrs. McEnaney said that the United States, which had banned corporal
punishment a decade ago, had now the highest juvenile delinquency rate in
the world. Humiliating She declared that the teacher who could
not use the cane was in a humiliating position. The child, aware of that
position could become a hero to his pals by disobedience. The situation here
was not yet as bad as in England, she said, where school children backed by
their parents, insisted on wearing jeans or jewellery and make-up in
defiance of school rules. Mrs. J. McKay, of Ballyclare, who is a school
teacher, opposing the resolution said: "It would be a most retrograde step
to admit that the only form of punishment is corporal punishment. Do you,
who are parents, want your children to be taught by teachers who are unable
to control them?" Mrs. McKay said that it was the responsibility of
parents to train their children to be obedient and that it was not fair to
pass this responsibility on to the teacher. Responsibility The
importance of parental responsibility was also stressed by another speaker,
who was a member of a juvenile court. After the voting, the Duchess of
Abercorn, president of the Federation, remarked that during the war when her
husband was away from home she frequently spanked her three children.

and taken prisoner at Dunkirk, was bound over for three years at Belfast

know what effect this will have on your wife and family, but you have
shattered everything of which you have every reason to be proud.

1) 26th ? 1946 September, October, November or December? - Failed to Print
Calendar, Omagh Man Decreed ~ At Omagh Quarter Sessions on Friday, before
Judge Copeland, John Crawford, Glenview, Lower Castlereagh, President of
Castlereagh Draughts Club, associated with Castlereagh Presbyterian Church;
Rev. James Hastings Little, The Manse, Castlereagh. Hugh Hamilton, Braniel,
Castlereagh; and William Busby, Braniel, Castlereagh, chairman, treasurer
and secretary respectively, and other members of the Club, sued Joseph
Graham, trading as Graham & Sons, Market Street, Omagh, for £65 damages for
breach of contract and consequential loss and damage. Mr. D. Little
(instructed by Mr. T. McDonald, Belfast) was for plaintiffs, and Mr. A. F.
Colhoun appeared for defendant. Plaintiff's case was that defendant
undertook to print 500 copies of a quotation calendar for £35 on condition
that he got three months to do the work. The offer was accepted, but
defendant failed to carry out the work, and it had to be done by a firm in
Belfast, at a cost of £89 5s 6d. The receipts for plaintiffs were £25 for
advertising and £67 18s 6d for the quotations, and in consequence of
defendant failing to carry out the contract, the loss amounted to £65. For
the defence, it was stated that at the time the contract was entered into
the maximum weight permissible for such a production was under two ounces.
As this would have been impossible the contract was void, and His Honour
could not enforce a contract which was illegal. Defendant gave evidence that
it would have been impossible to produce the calendar under the weight laid
down. Judge Copeland said when the authorities limited the weight they must
have recognised that to carry out such a job would be possible. As a matter
of fact the weight had been later reduced to one ounce. Defendant did not
even produce a calendar of any weight, and he was satisfied there was a
breach of contract. He awarded a decree for £54 5s 6d. with costs and
expenses.
2) (part article) .... that she saw a hand of the driver come out before
turning, and she had done so. He could not think of this woman taking a
Bible in her hands, committing gross, unadulterated perjury. He was
depending upon the evidence of Mrs. Crossey to see that there was no
miscarriage of justice done, and believed her statement. The case arose out
of a prosecution by District-Inspector McKinley against Harold Kidd May,
Osborne Avenue, Bangor, for whom Mr. R. F. Sheldon appeared. Samuel
Alexander said he was driving a motor lorry to Bangor, and before he turned
he put out his hand, but did not see the car overtaking him. Replying to Mr.
Sheldon, witness said he had a mirror on that day, a square one. It was put
on five years ago. He held his hand out for about 35 yards before he turned.
He went into a cottage close by while he waited for the police from Helen's
Bay, whom he phoned for. Mrs. Crossey, The Cottages, Cross-Roads,
Ballymoney, said she was in her garden and saw the driver, who put his hand
out. The lorry slowed down. She did not see any other car, only heard a
crash. Replying to Mr. Sheldon, she said she had a good view of the road.
Sergeant Sweeney, Helen's Bay, said he was at the scene of the accident. He
did not consider it a safe place to pass at that spot, because there was a
reflex sign. He interviewed the driver of the lorry and inquired at all the
cottages until he came to Mrs. Crossey, who had told exactly the same story
as she had told in Court. Defendant's Evidence. Defendant, who said he had
been driving for 15 years, said he was accompanied by his wife and two
friends at the time. He followed up the lorry for fifty yards and was
carefully watching for a signal, but there was no signal. There were bags
hanging over the side of the lorry. He got the impression that the lorry was
going to pull up, and then it swung round and witness tried to draw out but
had to turn in to prevent when might have been a very serious accident.
Replying to the District-Inspector, he said he was not prepared to swear
there was no mirror on the lorry. He agreed that the lorry was coming to the
lane slowly, but he did not see a signal. The sacks were projecting over the
side of the lorry. His car was in a position to see any signal, and the
place where the accident occurred, in his opinion, was quite safe to pass if
the lorry was going to stop. Mr. Mollett, who was in the car, corroborated
and said he saw no signal. Mrs. May also corroborated and added that her
husband was a most careful driver. Defendant was fined 40s and costs. ~ Hugh
Campbell, Larkfield Road, Belfast, was fined 2s for not having a light and
5s for not having a reflector on his bicycle. ~ For not having a number
plate sufficiently ? Robt. J. Carlisle, Dromore, Co. ...

4) Belfast Telegraph, Wednesday, June 29th, 1949 - Dived Into A River, Could
Not Swim, N. Tyrone Drowning. A verdict of accidental drowning was
returned at the inquest on Tuesday evening on John Joseph Brennan, aged 29,
of Milltown, Burndennett, North Tyrone, who lost his life in the River
Dennett last Friday night. Wm. James Brennan, brother, said he was bathing
in the River Dennett at Moyagh Weir along with Joseph Foley, John Byjournson
and his brother John Joseph. Witness and his brother were standing on the
bank just beside where the others were diving. John said he would like to
dive in like the others, and witness warned him not to do so because he knew
eh could not swim, and it was beyond his depth. He stood on the bank and
they watched the others diving for about ten minutes. Suddenly John said he
was going to dive in and he made a half dive and fell flat on the water.
Witness was not able to swim too well but he jumped in. He could not catch
his brother and he had to struggle out to the other side of the river. The
other two tried to get him out, but none of them could rescue him. He came
up towards the surface a couple of times, but was not able to get his head
up, and in a very short time disappeared altogether. John Byjournson said
the river at the point was very deep. He saw the deceased jumping in, and he
immediately went underneath. He seemed to get into difficulties. Joseph
Foley said he dragged Brennan to the shallow side of the water. (page cut

10) 15th May 1974 - Chaplain in the Rockies - A clergyman who trained for
the Presbyterian Church in Belfast now works at a US Army Base in the
foothills of the Rockies and has the rank of colonel. If Stanley McMaster
had not gone to the United States in 1948 to continue his theological
studies, the chances are that today he would be the minister in charge of
some Ulster country congregation. But he did - and he is now command
chaplain of Fo9rt Carson, Colorado. He was educated at Methodist College,
and, having decided to enter the ministry, went to Queen's University to
take a degree. But World War Two interrupted his academic career for four
years during which he served as a captain in the 6th Airborne Division. In
1945 he returned to Queen's and later went on to Assembly's College. Then,
26 years ago, came his trip to the States, and he has been there ever since.
He worked in civilian churches until 1953, when he joined the US Army. "It
has been a most fascinating and rewarding life," he said. "I couldn't have
wished for better." Much of his work at Fort Carson involves the training of
new chaplains, and he has also served in Germany, Korea, Thailand and
Vietnam. At the base his work is mainly supervisory. He is in command of 29
chaplains - five priests, one rabbi, 23 Protestants - and they all use the
same church. There's a lesson there somewhere for Ulster. Mr. McMaster and
his wife Betty, who is from the Ormeau Road area, have a son and daughter
who are both married and living in the United States. He was home in Bangor
last week to attend - and officiate at - the funeral of his father, the late
Mr. John McMaster, who was one of Irish football's leading administrators
and a life member of the IFA.

Nicholson Hero of Delhi, Statue
Shifting in his Home Town - Belfast Telegraph, Friday, March 4th, 1949
Sir - It has come to my notice that it is the intention of the Lisburn
Council to remove the Nicholson Statue in the Market Square, Lisburn, and
replace it with a public convenience. It is difficult to believe that any
Council could contemplate such a retrograde step. Before doing so I ask them
to visualise what it really means - here in the Market Square, which I
believe to be one of the finest and most beautiful open spaces in any town
in Northern Ireland - to contemplate turning this lovely setting into a
common public lavatory is difficult to comprehend. I sincerely hope the
Council will reconsider their decision before putting this blot on the town,
which will be indelible and an eyesore in Ulster's leading township. Surely
we can never tire of seeing out townsman, our hero, who won fame which is
reflected on Lisburn - "Nicholson of Lisburn." To hide our hero with his
drawn sword in a back garden is another step we shall live to regret. -
Yours, "A Lisburn Admirer". ~ "Old Lisnagarvey" suggests that
the proposed lavatory be placed at the back of the Assembly Buildings block,
which is a continuation of the Market Square but one of the quietest places
in the town. Let the statue remain on its present splendid site, he writes.
Lisburn is proud of Nicholson's fame and has no desire to hide it.
