tlicro was a big increase on last year in the number of holiday-makers to leave Clitheroe during Whitsuntide. Altogetlicr, liiero was aii increase of jLlil on tlio railway AVliitsuntide bookings. On AVliit-^louday, 111 people went on tlio half-day trip to lilackpoo), and 57 took ailvantage of the day trip. Forty-three went on the half day trip to Southport, and 20 iveiit to Alorecainbe for the day. On Whit-Tuesday, (ji) lycnt to Jllaekpool for half a day, and 38 for the whole day. Thirty-seven made the trip to Southport for tlio half-tlay, and eight went to Alorecainbc. Sixty-six left lor a period at Jilackpool, 22 to Lancaster and Alorecainbe, IS to liiverpool, and eleven to Southport. A Imndred perioil tickets were sold for otlier resorts. In addition to tile separate bookings, many local choirs held their amiual trips. " AVaddington Church choir and AVlialley Alethodist Cliurcli choir took advantage of the trip to Fdinburgh on Whit-Momlay, this making a total number of 75 llibblesdaliaiis to utilise the trip. On
AVhit-.Alouday also, 3G mem bers of Clitlieroe St. James’s Cliurch choir went to Scarborough. A party from Alonnt Zion iMotliodist Church went to Southport, and a party from St. Leonard’s Clinrcli, laingho, travelled to London. h'orty mem bers of St. Paul’s Alotbers’ Union had an outing to Liverpool, and as reported else where, tliero have ^ been numerous trips niranged hy the choirs of tlie neighbouring villngo.s. Thus it certainly seems that Clitlicronians enjoyed their AVliitsuntido Jiulidays.

friends, to the iimubor of thirty-three, spent a most enjoyable day in tho Yorkshire pales on Monday, despite somewhat uupropitious weather. Leaving by motor coach in the early morning they went via Skiptoii to Cirassington wliere a halt for breakfast was juade. Tiicreaftet the journey continued via Kottlewell, Jluckden, over Cr.ay and tlirongli liishopdale into Wensleydale. At AVest Jiurton there was a further break in tho journey, with a visit to the Alcthodist Chapel where several pieces were sung, and again in the village. Liincli was partaken of at llawcs. the coach proceeding after wards via Sedbergh to Alorecambc for tea. •'J’hcroafter the order was go-as-you-plcasc until sliortly Ijeforc 10-0 p.m., when a start ior Iiome was made. Thougli tho weather in tho morning was misty ami showery, cfmditions improved appreci.nbly and cou- tiniKHl fine for the rest of the day.

and now Vicar of Preston, in an addre»s to tlie Clitlieroo Botary Club, had some per tinent things to say about tlic introduction of tho multiple store to small towns, indeed to larger towns such as Preston. Ho pointed out that at- Preston several local tamilies had been forced out of business wlio in their day ami generation jiad provided tlio town with valuable town councillors, magistrates or mayor-, or all three, and lie could not imagine lie said a linn like Woolworth’s for example making up the deficiency. Tlie multiple store manager he inferred was con fined strictly to bii>iness apd had no lime ior municipal service. Jt is an aspect wliich must cause many pco|)lo furiously to think. As the years go by it becomes more and more difficult to get the riglit men to come forward at election times; it will be still worse if tbo men are not tlicro to come forward. At present tlio multiple store may put very little' if aDytliing into a town beyond paying rates, but in tho long run it will have to shoulder the burden laid down by its cnisiied local competitors. In other words even tlie multiple store cannot have it both way.-. Jf a town lias to be kept healtliy ami up to the standard of modern civilisation, with spotlessly clean streets for its Iniiabitants to walk thioiigh, even to the multiple store, .‘‘omoone will have to be n'sponsible for the job, and if other sources tlry up tlie multiple store mu-t of necessity redress the balance. If it fails to do that in days when tlie demand is far more press ing than it is to-day it will fail at its peril. Tlie community comes first. Alonopoly is regarded as soulless and usually is, but should monopoly not keep pace witii times wiiicli demand the p*oatost good of the greatest number it will meet the fate pre dicted by George Stcplicnson for the ” coo ” which strayed on to bis first rail-road—if it wa.s “ bad for the ‘ coo ’ ” it will be Cftually bad for monopoly,
