POPE: Word from Pope Francis “Living together as family is an art, a patient, beautiful,
Fascinating journey. It does not end once you have won each other’s love… Rather, it is precisely there where it begins! This journey of every day has a few rules that can be summed up in three phrases which I have already repeated many times to families, and which you have
already learned to use among yourselves: May I, thank you, and I’m sorry

Annual Show and Sale.
Mr. H. Spring proposed and Mr. McElligott seconded that the animal bull show and sale where bulls would be inspected for County Premiums, would be held in Tralee on 3rd April, 1930.
The Vice-presidency of the Society. Mr. Spring stated that he understood that the several branches were invited by the Executive Committee of the Society to nominate a Vice-President for 1930 and the Vice President in 1930 would be president in 1931. He had much pleasure in proposing that the Kerry Brunch nominate Mr. T. J. McEIligott, Listowel, for the position. Mr. McElligott said that he could not see his way to let his name go forward for that important position as he was afraid he had not the time nor the ability to fill it properly. He had no ambitions in that direction and preferred to remain amongst the rank and file.
Mr Spring however said he would not withdraw his proposition and Mr. G. McElligott having seconded, the meeting unanimously adopted it.
Market of Butter and Creameries.
Mr. T. J McElligott proposed that the following resolution be forwarded to the Executive Committee with a view to having it inserted for discussion in the Congress Agenda, viz:— "That having regard to the serious position of the butter industry in this country, to the conflict between ‘Controlled’ and ‘Free’ creameries and the general uneasiness and dissatisfaction amongst farmers as a result of confusing controversy in the public press, we request the Government, through the Department of Agriculture, to appoint an impartial and competent tribunal to inquire fully into the management of the Irish Associated Creameries, the ‘free’ creameries and the position of creameries controlled by the Dairy Disposal’s Board.

Taken from Vincent Carmody on Listowel Connection.
A Convent Street man, Sean Ashe, was a local reporter for the then, Kerry Champion newspaper, Sean loved his native street, An Gleann, and has left some lovely pieces written in memory of the street and the footballers who represented the street in the local town league, his street memory, of 12 verses was called, ‘The place we call, The Gleann’, here we recall the first two,
I now retrace the path of years
And see a picture bright.
No faltering step or memory lapse
Can dim that pleasing sight.
No wind of change can disarrange
The thoughts I first penned down
Of happy days and boyhood ways
In the place we call ‘The Gleann’
Ah! There’s the lengthy line of homes
Along the riverside
Across the roadway many more
Line up with equal pride
The white washed wall of one and all
And the thatch of light-hued brown
Bring picturesqueness to the scene
In the place we call ‘The Gleann’
