A more ridiculous situation


difficult to conceive than th a t v/hich was illuminated a t the meeting of the E3uca- tion Committee yesterday afterdoon. Some months ago somebody hit on the happy idea of having a joint committee of teahers and members of the Education Committee to discuss various questions which will inevitably arise under the Fisher Educa­ tion Act and to advise the Education Com­ mittee. This seemed a perfectly s tra ig h t­ forward piece of v/ork which might have


cussion becoming more acrimonious every month. There appears to have been some little trouble among the teachers and certain members of the Education Co.mmittee made the m atter v/°(se by attemp tin g an interference in a dinerence


been carried out within a week. Un­ happily a difference—which should have been easily adju s ted—arose as to numbers and from month to month the appointment o the committee v/as delayed, the dis-


f


which v/as no concern of theirs, and v/.aca they should have ignored. From this stage it was a short step to the taking o sides by members of the Education Com­ mittee and the more recent discussions have been mere unseemly v/rangie: phrase " Much ado about nO'.hn.g rarely been be tte r illustrati teachers have a perfect right to elect their own representatives without members oi the Education Committee making stip u la ­ tions. The members who object v/ould Speedily raise a cry if the teachers refused to accept the Education Committee s re­ presentatives as satisfactory. ^ 3 u i the quibbling has proceeded uncheckea and in the result a really statesmanlike idea has been utte r ly ruined.

ratepayers to decide v/hether tne personal dignity of members of the Education Committee is of more concern than the educational development of tne tov.n. *


* * * * * The Education Committee yesterday


had also before them portions of the Edu­ cation Act to be put into operation a t an early date. The abolition of half-time, the extension of the school age and in­ numerable other questions of vital irnper- tance are concerned. The Committee found it impossible to grasp the full scope of the new requirements and nanded the m a tte r over to a sub-committee consisting of the Mayor. Councillors Boothman and Cottam. Fr. Robinson, Mr. Henderson, and Miss Carr, with the Borough Treasurer ex- officio member. This sub-committee is charged with the very responsible duty of formulating an educational scheme for


the town. * ** * ** Coun. Hargreaves told the Education


Committee yesterday th a t las: October a sub-committee v/as appointed to deal with Child Welfare b ut no meetings had been held. Comment is superfluous.

It is no secret


th a t both the Conservative and Labour Parties are busily engaged in the selection of candidates and each will have as many men in the field as there are vacancies. Several names have been p re tty well de­ cided upon but I refrain from " letting the c a t out of the bag " before they are finally adopted. Whether the Liberals v/ill con­ tes t the election remains in doubt. The retiring members of the Council are Coun­ cillors Carter, Cowman. Parker and Seed- all.

the vacancy on the aldermanic bench until af ter the November election, v/hich means th a t there will be a bye-election soon after the annual Council meeting on November

* * * * * * At the County Sessions or. Monday,


there was one of those silences v/hich can be felt. For a fev/ moments everybody v/as almost too surprised to breathe, i t happened in this way : A young man. smart, well-groomed, well-dressed, stood in the box charged with driving a motor­ cycle and side-car to the danger of the public. The facts were th a t he rushed across the junction of Station-road and Clitheroe-road. Whalley, a t a speed of more than 25 miles an hour, and th a t he failed to stop when the policeman blew his whistle. W ith o u t desiring to do the de­ fendant an injustice. I may say , th a t he looked the part. • Defendant denied the police estimate of the speed, and declared he never heard the whistle.


If the esti­


mate of the speed was correct—and two poliqemen vouched for i t—I am not sur-


prised defendant never heard the signal to stop. The magistrates (the Mayor and


L.D.S.,BULCOCK, lieu.T’-Work done on Sunday and Christ­ Mr Hanson) believed defendant v/hen he and all work af ter 7 p.m.

have complained. A minute late r it was discovered th a t the costs of the case were six shillings and the magistrates calmly altered their decision to " dismissed on payment of costs. ’ telling defendant th a t they did not v/ish his license to be en­ dorsed ! Such consideration for a proven road-hog is amazing. There was another interesting series of cases. Several de­ fendants v/ere charged-with trivial motor offences. Those who appeared were let off on payment of costs ; those who ignored the summons were fined 10s.


Is it a


greater crime to offend the dignity of the bench than to endanger the lives of the community by driving over dangerous roads a t a mad pace ? *

Sav/ley is celebrating Peace tO;day. ** *** *


There is a plethora of events for to­


morrow. To begin with there are the customary cricket matches—a t Barrow and Whalley. Then there is the swim­ ming gala a t Brungerley. the Peace Cele­ brations a t Pendleton and Billington : there are allotment society shows at Whalley and Chatburn : and there is a fete a t Walley Abbey. Most of these


events depend .for success largely on climatic conditions, and there is need for great improvement. , * * * * * *


Mr. H. Cam.pbell has been appointed

Under sad circumstances the death has


occurred a t Low Moor of Mr. Adam Lund, of 15. St. Ann’s Square, a retired cardroom hand. Mr. Lund visited his nephew last Friday evening, and as he v/as not again


seen. Mr. j . Lund, the nephew, forced an entry through a v/indow on Monday even­ ing and found his uncle lying dead in bed. Mr. Lund had been suffering from heart affection for several years. The facts v/ere reported to the Coroner, v/ho deemed


an inquest unnecessary. * ** * **

of the death of Mr. A. Stansfleld. a t his residence. 12, Arthur-street. Great Har­ wood. Mr. Stansfield was a v/ell known


and highly respected townsman. Fifty- four years of age, he was the head teacher of the evening ^classes a t the Great H a r ­ wood Technical School, and was also head master of St. J o h n s . A great cricket enthus iast, he v/as a t one time a member of the Todmorden and Great Harwood team, and in late r years a keen golfer. Mr. Stansfleld was a member of the Great Harv/ood Liberal Club. He leaves a widow and two daughters. ***** *


To encounter an angler on several


reaches of the Ribble which, under favour­ able conditions, v/ould have been the most populous, is now some thing of a rarity, and v/hatever happens the season will have to be written dov/n as the poorest for some decades.


1: is also believed th a t there


has been considerable mortality among the tro u t owing to the foulness of the water


which, in numerous places, is absolutely , . * , .


choked with vegetable matter. There are, therefore, good grounds for the fears entertained th a t the effect of the drought v/ill be made manifest next season, and it is a t such a time th a t the value of the Ciitheroe Angling Association’s fish h a tch ­ ery a: Waddington is proved. ** *** *

in many other less im p o r tan t centres, the " Wakes ” are now a thing of the past, and except for sh o r t breaks work should nov/ be continuous throughout the winter. On the other hand, those places v/here spinning is the pricipal industry are only ju s t holding their festivals. Oldham and Lees, Rochdale and Shav/, are idle this week or next. Why this should be is not very clear, b u t one effect in the past has been to create a surplus of yarn during the time of the weaving holidays and a com­ parative scarcity when the spinning mills were stopped.

The Ministry of Health direct the a ttention of employers and others to the fact th a t by the National Health Insurance Act. 1919. v/hich has ju s t received Royal Assent, the limit of remuneration up to which persons employed otherwise than by way of manual labour are liable to compulsory health in­ surance has been raised from £160 to £250 a year. Employers are accordingly required for the future to pay health insurance con­ tributions in respect of persons employed by them under a co n tra ct of service as follows : For non-manual workers, where the rate of remuneration (including any regyilar bonus, etc.) does not exceed £250 a year ; for manual v/orkers. irrespective of the rate of remuneration : a non-manual worker whose remuneration is over £160 a year, b u t not over £250 a year, can claim a certificate of exemption from his co n tr i­ bution under certain conditions, provided he applies before Jan u a ry 1st and makes his ov/n arrangements for medical a t te n d ­ ance.

in the coming reorganisation of


the Territorial force, he said, the 42nd East Lancashire Division would be one of the best in England. He looked forward to the holding of re-unions in different centres of the Division, where they would keep alive the sp ir it th a t broke the Hindenburg Line and stopped the Boche in 1918. Major Nall, M.P., as Pa r liam entary representa­ tive of the Memorial Committee, explained th a t the memorial for Gallipoli, which was CO be one great army memorial, was to be a landmark, perhaps an obelisk, erected close to the cemetery near Lancashire Landing. He intimated th a t it was hoped shortly to give mo're definite information with regard to the work of the War Memorials Committee, and he asked mem­ bers of the Division to send in their su b ­ scriptions, large or small, for the purpose.
