THIS YEAR’S ROYAL DEBUTANTE- There is some probability that the King


will go abroad earlier than usual, with .a view to avoiding the itgors of our Noilhem spring, after his recent indispolsition. That would mean the hurrying forward of the two pie-Eoster Courts, Which are usually held about the A d of February or begin­ ning of March. Among the debutantes of the year ivill be Princess AlAandra, .the elder daughter of the Princess Royal, and Duke of Fife, who will take her place in the royal circle at one of the later Courts. She will be eighteen on May 17th, the eld­ est grandchild of the King and Queen, and her debnt'will mark the growing up of the third generation of the Royal Family. Prin­ cess Alexandra and her sister have both been raised to Royal rank, and, owing to the illihealth of the P^rincess Royal, the Queen ivill, to some extent undertake the chaperoning of her granddaughter— in whose honour a state ball will probably be given by their Majesties at Buckin^am P-alace.

THE GUARDIANS’ FORTNIGHTLY.


The fortnightily meeting of the Clitlieroe


Board of Guardians was held in the Board Room at the Workhouse on Monday morn­


ing. Mr. R. C. As^heton, J.P., C.A., presided, and the other mem;bers present were Col. .Aspinall, Messrs. H. H. Baldwin, G. J. Holme, J. Browri', S. Green, J. Rhodes, J. Pinder, J. T. Lofthouse, W. Wil­ kinson, G. Turner, J. Porter, W. Hanson, W. Braithwake, E. T . AVeloh, J. W. Gill, J. Dilworth, W. Haighton and E. Moore, Mrs. W. L. Grime, Revs. J. C. Garnett and Canon Wilson.


HOUSE COMMITTEE. The* minutes of a meeting of the House


Committee, held on Deoembec 31st, over which Mr. Hanson presided, and which contained several matters of minor interest, were approved on -the motion of Mr. Han­ son, seconded by Mr. Braithwaite.


VACCINATION OF.FICER VACANCY TO BE ADVERTISED.


At the last meeting of the Board Mr.


Hanson gave notice of his intention to move that Mr. C. S. Coleman, relieving officer, be appointed vaccination officer in place of Mr. T. Bennett, resigned. The Clerk (Mr. Thos. Eastham) stated


he had received 'the following letter from Mr. J. Hargreaves, registrar,.with reference


to the appointment: — “ I beg respectfully to appeal to you in


the matter of the appointment of A’ accina- tion Officer and to ask if you will adjourn Mr. Hanson’s notice of motion till the next meeting, so as to -allow a similar notice to be given on my behalf, or in the alternative that the vacancy be advertised in the usual way.' The duties are so obviously more as^iated with my appointment as .Regis­ trar than they are with the .Relieving Officer’s duties that I am sure there has been some oversight in the matter. The


tion officers for those districts and the ar­ rangement has, I believe worked satisfac­ torily. The same arrangement holds good throughout the country and in many unions such as Rochdale there are no vaccination officers except tiiose who are Registrars as well.. When I was appointed successor to Mr. Bailey, the township of Grindleton was taken away and also tire Registrar of Mar­ riages, therefore my appointment is now nothing like a .living for anyone and as it is not in your poM-er to increase my salary like Aher officers I trust you will favourably consider my appointment in this matter. If I receive the appointment it will also assist me in continuing the convenience of keep ing my office open every day and at all hours, a convenience much appreciated by the public and which I have recently doubt­ ed Mihether I could afford to continue. My office expenses are considerable and I am nA able to have any allowance for that like the Relieving Officers get, yA no one M'ill say that my duties are less important. Trusting you M’ill favourably consider my


application.” The matter was discussed in camera and


eventually adjourned for a fortnight, the vacancy to be advertised.

tiie children during the


year and stated that during toe past twelve months illustrated papers had been received from Mrs. T. Eastham, Messrs. Southworth and Son, Mr. G. Hargreaves, Airs. Whipp, Mr. J. Cowman and Mr. J. Hamson. On the motion of Mr. Hanson, seconded


by Mr. Baldwin, a vote of thanks was passed to all the donors of the various
