5 MJJLLAGHDUFF The Turkey Season is upon us again and the diets and keep-fit crazes will be cast to the side for a couple of weeks while everybody stuffs themselves. Money is said to be more plentiful than ever - probably because more people are on the dolet Congratulations to Anne G. who moved into her new house for Christmas. There's no spot in M'Duff or Ballymanus that she can't see from the front window. Visitors to the house with presents enter via the Sheila Sweeney road end. Quote of the month: "Celtic should have scored seven against Forest", by Daniel Paddy Bhriany. A real Celtic Fanatic. Patrick Kenny has traded in for an Escort - more comofrtable for Dunlewy's narrow roads. Edward and Mary start work afresh after a very successfUl honeymoon around Ireland. The best of luck to both of them. Congratulations to Ann Marie (Big Anthony) and Tommy on the birth of a baby girl for Xmas. The Mullaghduff correspondent wishes all the locals and all "Guth" readers a very happy Christmas and a happy New Year. ,....---..---..,------------ LOCH AN IUIR "Night Walker". I Well, how did you enjoy last month's notes? certainly thought they were a big improvement on "Bacach 1 s" trash. I ' m sure he was surprised that some one else could do things just as good as he could and a lot better. I see the Cros Mhor ar Ardan Sheain u{ Shearcaigh will be fully lit this year again after a few dark Christmases . This was due to electrical problems. Now "Coiste na Croise" (nice name?) has taken it upon themselves to have special fittings installed that will solve he matter once and for all. As the Kerryman said, "We' 11 light up the whole Whest of Ireland". Fair play to the boysH .. "' 1i.2 0 Flooding at the tech and crossroads should be aleviated after U,e council men have cleaned the drain from the main road to the lake. There is no truth in the rumour that the Rosses Anglers are taking over the drain. ,...,. Is maith a rinne siad e gan a gcnainha a lig~:<ann leis na Rosses (Dungloe?) Anglers.

Joking aside I think it would be a good thing to have the lake' properly developed and stocked. It doesn't matter a tinker's curse who does it. All we want is good sport fishing and good trout to catch, and whether anglers take off from Loughanure Pier or Charley Ban's Pier is neither here nor there. Sure there's one Loughanure (and Dublin) man who would not sail from any Pier other than Charley Ban's. "Are you right there David s. are you right?" Did you watch that programme on T.V. about "The Day After". Things looked pretty desolate and bad but sure it's many a man (and woman) who saw and experienced things just as bad as the fall-out on the 11 Day After" (the night beforet t) • I see the council intend taking water from Loughanure lake _,to supp~ Brinlack area.

The blessing of God to one and all for Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. Be seeing you, I hope.
