"Dear Sir,

While we are living in an age when the Department of Public Health is making all efforts to prevent the spread of infectious diseases through compulsory innoculation etc.! We wonder when the Dunlaoghaire Borough Council will do something to remove the unsanitary filthy nuisance that exists at the rear of Daleview Cottages, Ballybrack, which is occasioned by a sewerage [sic] bursting up and flowing over 100 yards down the roadway creating a filthy slim [sic] surface before it finds an outlet to a pasture-field which is grazed by "Dairy Cattle". It is hardly creditable [sic] that the Dunlaoghaire Borough Council would allow such a disgrace to exist at the rear of their property which is occupied by tenants with families of small children and as it has been a source of complaint over a number of years. Hoping that this will come to the notice of the authorities with a view to having it remedied.

"Since our last issue the Catholic Church has lost a great leader. The late Pope Pius XII was one of the most outstanding leaders of his time. He was the great Father of mankind. He was truly a Roman of Romans. He strived that a peace might be brought about between nations. "Go mbeidh a-anam mar realt gheal san speir siorrai."

Now a new leader has risen amongst us. On October 28th, the Cardinals in secret conclave elected Angelo Guiseppe Cardinal Roncalli to be Supreme Pontiff. He took the name John XXIII which has not been taken for 500 years or more. Let us also rejoice in the words "Annuncio Vobis Gaudium Magnum. Habemus Papam!" and echo the wishes of all Catholics in saying "Viva il Papa"."

"FILM SHOW:On the night of Wednesday, October 21st, a most inspiring film was shown in the Convent of the Holy Child, Killiney. The film dealt with the Conclave for the Election of Pius X. Although it was acted by actors and not the original it conveyed to the audience exactly how a Pope is elected and portrayed to a very great extent his reaction. This film was accompanied by a shorter film which portrayed the status of the Vatican City in to-day's world. The Sisters of the Holy Child deserve warm thanks for their generosity in showing these films."

"WEDDING: The wedding took place on 15th October in the Church of SS. Alphonsus and Columba, Ballybrack, of Mr. Nigel O'Flaherty and Miss Esme Doyle. A reception was held afterwards at Coundon House, Killiney. There were 250 guests present. "

"REVIEW IN DALKEY: In the ballroom of the Cliff Castle Hotel, Dalkey, last Wednesday night, Mr. Maxwell Sweeney reviewed some films and spoke about films in general. The second guest of honour was Signor Filippo Giudice, the Italian film producer who outlined his plan to make films pay. "Gone with the Wind", he said "has not yet been paid for". His plan entails making fewer films with better stories and keeping them for very long periods in the one cinema. He also said that two-thirds of the cinemas will have to close down or go bankrupt. He said he would like to produce a film in Ireland. Fr. Moloney, C.C., proposed a vote of thanks and was seconded by Mr. McCormack."

"We are pleased to say that many new road signs have been erected in the vicinity of Ballybrack, all thanks to Bord Failte. We notice, however, that no signs warning the motorist that he is about to enter the village have been erected yet. Such signs may be seen on roads just outside Loughlinstown and Shankill.

Recently, two of Father Peyton's Rosary Films were shown in Ballybrack. these films were most inspiring and competently acted. But do we all know why Father Peyton made them? When he was studying for the priesthood, Father Peyton was taken ill, so ill in fact, that he could not complete his studies. He prayed to Our Lady and promised her he would do all in his power to promote the recitation of the Rosary. He was operated on and the miracle happened, and ever since he has been spreading devotion to Our Lady in the form of the recitation of the Rosary. In one of these pictures we saw the O'Brien family kneeling before the crib that is as it should be in every Catholic home in the country."

"ANGLERS: The Shanganagh Anglers are very busy even though it is the (close) season. They had a dance on Halloween which was very successful. they are now in a very satisfactory financial position and have their order placed with inland fisheries for the delivery of 2,000 Fingerlings next season. Those Fingerlings are from 6" to 8" in length and have been handfed, and are fishable, the following year. The Club have also cleared the river through "The Brides Glen" and have formed some great pools to hold salmon if necessary. On Wednesday at a concert in the Workman's Club there was a question time between a team from the Anglers versus the local Golfers. After a ding-dong both teams finished level. No questions were missed by either team. Willie Byrne was the compere. On Thursday, the Secretary and Chairman attended a meeting in Jury's Hotel where the new Dublin Anglers Council was formed. Ten Dublin Clubs, including the Shanganagh Club, make up this new council with the idea to help one and other with ideas, etc. etc."

KILLINEY

The world has heard of Killarney, of Galway and old Doonaree,
Of the famous stone at Blarney, near "The Banks of my own Lovely Lee;"
But no matter where you may wander, from Malin Head down to Kinsale, There's not so nice a vista as Killiney and Shanganagh Vale.

When you stand on the Hill of Killiney, and behold this wonderous view,
All your cares, like the distant horizon, seem to vanish into the blue;
And the walks abounding the District, are a joy to the innermost soul,
For beholding this beautiful scenery, one feels they have reached their goal.

Each season brings it own kind of beauty, a colour scheme that will enthrall,
From Summer's full green foliage to the bronze gold tint of the Fall; And the moon on the Bay, from the Vico, with the little boats in full sail,
Leave everlasting memories of Killiney and Shanganagh Vale."

This month's interview was with Rev. Dr. C. Hurley, P.P., D.D. Dr. Hurley, only 2¾ years in the parish, hopes to have the new school in Shankill open for classes by the end of the year. When asked about the District, Dr. Hurley said that he liked it very much and that the people were most helpful in every way. He also made reference to the Annual Retreat in the Parish Church which will be given by Fr. Deering, O.D.C. and in St. Ann's, Shankill, by Fr Canice Ivory, O.D.C."
