The impending publication of the Poor


I on bended knees congregations saw .the Old j Year slip away .and the new one make its | i appearance. The new year came with ' I a clean slate, but who can tell what record will be written ere 1909 joins its prede­ cessors? Many people stayed up beyond the customary hour to bid adieu to tllie dying year and to welcome its successor. The bell-ringers at the Parish Church were at their posts and rang a merry peal in celebration of the event. Everybody trusts ■ that the new year’ will bring with it a re- vival in trade, not only locally, but nation­


ally. Wrjiting of trade I may add that there


appears to be a -siilver lining to the black cloud that has hung over Glitheroe for so long. Manufacturers, are finding orders rather better to obtain and at se.veral mills in the town considerable headway is being made in filling the emprty looms with warps, o <* <»

. matter, if the Education Committee are not i responsible for the accounts they have .• really nothing to get alarmed about. There is much more weight iai Coun. Carter’s argument at the Council meeting that if he is one of those responsible there must be some investigation of them either by him­ self or by some party on his behalf as well as their ow-n. On toe other hand the Gov­ ernment auditor checks toe accounts with an eye to illegalities, though that is not a guarantee ag.iinst a!ll .waste. On 'toe point as to wihy toe accounts should come before an authority which has no respon­ sibility for them, there is this to be said in addition to the niling of toe Clerk—:toat


. all matters pertaining to education stand referred to toe Education Comimittee— ^that toe reading of them over gives each mem-


j her of tbs Committee an opportunity of ex- ’ pres'ing an opinion on them, a course which mav not otherwise be open to him, or of objstting to some particular item if he feels so disposed. There are often more " f-ar real ” features about our local adminis. trative bodies than the mere reading over of the accounts, one that may be mentioned being the constant recurrence of long wind­ ed discussions leading to nowhere. * .r*


The hearts of many old folk in Glitheroe


and district were gladdened by the first pay­ ment of old age pensions last Friday. The money was paid over toe counter at toe head office in King Street, and at the various sub-post offices in the town and district. At the Glitheroe Post Office the work was done in a very satisfactory manner. The pen­ sioners produced .at the counter their pension order books, which are of five different colours representing the sums payable, as follow; Five sliilling order, blue; four shil­ ling, cream; three shilling, drab; two shil­ ling, orange; one shilling, terra-cotta. To guard against forged orders, the fohns were carefully examined. The genuine order showed a w.iter m.ork with the words “ Old Age Pension,” but not toe amount, payable. Pension orders detadied from the book and presented as an ordinary postal order are not paid. No payments are .made unless the book is presented with the order, and payment is refused ivhere the order is de­ faced or altered. Pensioners who are per­ manently incapacitated from receiving their pensions at toe office can get authority' from toe pension officer to appoint an agent to receive the pension on their behalf. If a.pplioaints are prevented by tem;»rary ill­ ness from coming for their pensions they have to send a doctors certificate and authorise a representative to receive the money. Pensions can be drawn any week day. By the way, one old man asked for the amount of liis pension for three months in advance, " in order to set up business!”


* Mentioning old age pensions reminds me


that yesterday at the monthly police court toe deputy Magirirates’ Clerk (Mr. TIhos. Eastham), submitted a circular to toe ben'ch from toe Home Secretary respecting pensions and imprisonment.


Law Commission’s report revives the state­ ment frequently made of late that the toards of guardians are doomed. The commission, it is said, are unanimous on this though they differ in opinion as to what exactly is to 'take its place. A majority would create local relief committees vice the Guar­ dians and make a central committee of the County Council and the county boroughs primarily responsible, add:ng- to the duties the work entailed by the Unemployed Act, the Feeding of Necessitous School Children Act and the Medical Inspection of Chil­ dren Act. The minority would abolidh the entire poor la.w as well as the Guardians, splitting up the work b^ween education committees and the public health depart- Precisely what will happen one


scarcely knows. Experience proves that .reports of commissions are often the host that is heard of the matter inquired into. Not long ago the Local Government Inspector for :he district scouted the idea that boards of guardians would be extinguished. In such circumstances we can only wait and see what the Government intend to do.


The Clitoeroe Wesley Chapel, which ha;;


been closed for some time on account of decoration and renovation, is to be re­ opened next IVednesday, when the Rev. Thos. Allen, of Harrogate, will be the preacher. The following Sunday the ser­ vices are to be continued, toe Rev. Ben­ jamin Gregory, of Manchester, being an- nounced to occupy the rostrum and in toe afternoon of that day toere will be a musical service.


Patrons of the local branch of the Bank


of Liverpool (formerly Craven Bank) will learn with mixed feelings of gratification and regret that Mr. T. G. Walker, chief clerk, is about to leave Clitheroe— gratifica­ tion that he has met with the success he so richly deserves and regret at the parting it necessitates. Mr. Walker has been appoint­ ed manager of the Bingley branch; Bom at Bingley he has thus risen to be a bank manager in the town of his nativity, and returns to his own neij^bbourhood with dis­ tinction. Mr. Walker came to Clitheroe from Skiptem three years ago last Septem­ ber and. quickly won the esteem of the clients at the Bank, who'heartily rejoice at his promotion. He commences his duties at Bingley on the first of February and will leave Clitheroe with cordial wishes for bis future prosperity.


The following reference to the Vicar


designate of Downham, taken from the Mossley Parish Magazine, will be of interest not only to the inhabitants of the Ecclesias­ tical Parish of Downham, which comprises the townships of Downham and Twiston, but


to residents in the neighbourhood generally: “ It was with great delight that Mossley


people read in toe daily paper a short time ago that the Bisliop of Manchester had


offered the living of Downham, near Clito­ eroe, to the Rev. F. T. Bradshaw, and that he had accepted it. Mr. Bradshaw’s de­ parture from Mossley is so recent that none have, forgotten the good work he did here, and the great comfort and help he brought ■ to them in the course of his ministrations. We know' how faithful and conscientious he was in the p^ormance of his duties, and we are sure that in the more responsible po.sition on which he is shortly entering he will display the same faithfulness and con­ scientiousness. Downham is to be con­ gratulated on ite new' Vicar, for it will have one who is an earnest and loyal Churchman, and one who will always play the man. Mr. Bradshaw will have a parish that is after his own heart, situated in the midst of beautiful country, wdtli a population which, though small, is widely scattered, and which w'ill, therefore, give trim plenty of work to do, and give scope to his energies. We, here in Mossley, who have leamt to love him, shall follow him there with the deepKt interest in his work, and shall not forget to pray that God will.bless His work, and give him health and strength to do it.”


- The third of the series of this season’s


James Eccles Subscription Concerts will take place in toe Public Hall on Wednes­ day evening, and to judge from an- advance copy of the programme I have received the concert bids-fair to equal its predecessors as far as excellence is concerned. , The artistes engaged to appear axe: Madame Alice Esty (Prima Donna, Royal Italian. Opera); Miss Marie Stiven, (Royal Opera


'House, Cov^t Garden); Miss Vera French, (solo violin; her first appearance at these concerts); and Mr. Cyral Toivsey,


(solo pianoforte). ❖ ❖ ♦ ■ The Clitheroe P.S.A., w'hose socials this In toe cir­

named Thos. Haworth, of Charlesworth Terrace, plasterer for Mr. J. Ford, this morning. Shortly after half-past eight he was working on the roof of the Starkies’ Arms when he lost his footing, toe frost haring made the slates slippery'. He


dropped on to the roof of a second building and caught at the troughing to save himself. This, however, gave way and he fell into the garden of the Conservative Club, where he was discovered by toe steward, Mr. T. Law- son. The unfortunate man was carried into toe steward’s house and attended by Drs. Musson .and .Swindale. He was found to be suffering from internal injuries and was removed.home in the ambulance.
