FlUDAY, SIAY 17th, 1935.


King’s Silver Jubilee celebrations. From iirat to last, enthusiastic loyalty was tho keynote ami last week will rank as one in which the town e.\celled itself in the scope ^md in the success of its programme. In another column, the Mayor espressos his thanks to every helper. Wisely, he avoids names, yet there are some wlio, by reason of the key positions they lield, deserve more than a mere mention. First and foremost come the ^layor and Mayoress tliemselves, lor they have been no mere ligure-heads hut active leaders, keeping in close toucli ■with every >1*


011011. They have by their


own e.xampio merited the support so ehcor- fnlly and generously given. Again, nobody


can possibly grudge a word of praise for tho lionorary secretary to the general coih- inittec, ^Ir. Tom Aldersloy, upon wliom has fallen an immense amount of work. Jlis job has taken him into the realm of all tlio sectional committcq-, settling this matter hero and that problem theie^ and in addi­ tion ho has had to deal with a mass of detail which might well have swamped a Jess efficient and a Jess cheerful official. INIr. Aldersley emerges irom tho organisation of tho eelehrations with added lanreis and has every reason lor pride ami satisfaction. As treasurer, Mr. J. H. Taylor has fnlhlled his iioimal innctions with the skill we c.xpect niul his long experience in these matters has boon valuable in many directions. There are others behind the scenes, planning ami working in the interests of all. 'They tvoukl not thank us if we dragged them from the obscurity they prefer and wc leave them tliorc with the assurance that the cliorts they put forth have been duly noted and appreciated. The Corporation staffs generally found new burdens thrust upon tiicm but, without exception, they proved equal to every demand ami are entitled to credit for tlie extra work they did so well. Tho staff of the parks had a pecnliaiiy harassing time hut, like everybody else, they overcame all diflienltics and won everyone’s respect. After the civic service on Sunday, tho flavor uttered words of .special thanks to the ambulance workers and to the police. TJioy were fully merited. All through the oolebrations tho ambnlanec men and women were av.ailahle for any domamls, seeking opportunities of .‘•ervice. They did splendid work. The ptdicc, too, earned genuine praise. Tho Chief Constable (Mr. W. Thompson) had made the most thorough arrangements and, loyally hacked by the Force and by the SpcciaT Constabulary, lie had the satisfaction of seeing all his plans carried put without a hitch. Tho huge crowds of ^lomlny and Saturday were ex­ ceptionally well managed and it is a real pleasure to be able to record that the


jubilee celebrations were carried tlirougli without an accident and without a caso for Court. The townspeople generally helped magnificently and wc look back on a notable week with nothing but pleasure and satisfaction that Clithcroo was able, despite the hard times locontly experienced, to set new standards in public rejoicings.


^ ^ ^ i^fr, W. T). Cunllffo. wlio again splendidly


diseiiarged the oneious duties of chairman o f the Ball Committee, with the efficient help of ^Ir. J. Clayton as secretary and Mr. U. Moreton as tn*asurer, .statc.s that as yet it is not possible, to give an accurate idea of the profits derived from the very popular functions held last Friday. They are, he agrees, likely to make a very sub- Etantinl contrilnition to tlic general fund,


* * * “ Tho Xews-Clironielc ” on i\fonday^ and


not for iiie first lime, devoted its i>>ctiire page to Clithcroo, and mot with suitable reward. In this issue, wc have the privilege of reprinting the excellent pictures secured hy tliis ciilerprising daily’s photographer and tlioy will he examined with interest and ple.a.suro by Clitheroninns tho world over as ■well as .it liome. This issue, like last week’s, will be kept and treasured by many since the two together form a complete jccord 01 Clitheroe’s celebrations, surpassed by no other town and equalled hy very few. TlnA may he as good a place as any to s.iy tliat tlierc remain only a limited •number of copies of last week’s “ Advertiser ami Times ” and readers who desire extra copies should make immediate application.


^ ^ As far ns can be ascertained, Clitheroo


can lay claim to four babies born in Jubilee week, and all of them are girls. One of tlnun, Mary i^Iiisgrove, daughter of ISEr. and jVfrs. Fro(l Ainsworth Stowell iMusgrovc, of 102, ■\VIialIey-road, was horn on Jubilee day, but tlie other babies wore born later in tho week. Tho parents are Mr. and Mrs. H. Briggs, IG. Monk-street; Air. and Airs. OVDonnoll, 14, ScoelalUavemie; and Air. and Airs. Taylor, 4, Tliorn-stroet., A silver mug was presented by Air. Alorton, of Moor-lane, for the first baby to be born in Jubilee week, and the Alisses Green, of Aloor-lano, gave a Jubilee cake to the same child. To every child born in Jubilee week, Airs. Lambert, J.P., is to give a silver spoon.

tho Mayor and tliose wlio were chiefly in- Etniincntal in the preparation and perform- iuico of the pageant. AVe have liad the pleasure of perusing many of tlie letters and all of tliem exprcf-s pritle in tho old borougli’s contribution to tlie country’ s celebrations. It would be easy to fill coluins witli tlio letters but as they strike tho same note, perhaps those given in tho **


addition of the following typical note received from Air. A. B. Pickles, a dis­ tinguished Clitheronian, a former President of tlic National Unipii of Teachers and for jnan}' years Director of Kducatimi for Burnley. This is what Air. Pickles has to say:


''' 1


I was of the Old Borough nn Jubilee Day. The town’s decorations and the fine spirit of loyalty, and above all. tlie inagnificent Pageant in the Castle grounds, gave a (listinction In the town. It was an inspiring sight to look at— tho 15,000 people on tlm sinpe.s of the ground and on the old Keep.


As .a Clitheronian, may f say how proud ■ .. J K I] Eilitor’s Postb.ag ” may suffice, with the

Division, Is offering a framed eolimreil print of the King at Ihg microphone to all schools in the Clitlieroe Division as a memento of the Silver Jubilee. At Afomlny’s meeting of Clitheroo Hural Education Committee it was decided to accept tho gift 011 holialf of tho schools in the area, and that Sir William be thanked for his offer. Following is a copy of the letter sent hy Sir William to tlio Clerk: “ Some lUtlo time ago, I noticed in the ‘ Times ’ a letter from Lord Mar and Kellie, who .said that as Lord Lieutenant of a County lie was going to present a framed coloured print of his Alajesty tho King at the microphone to every school in his county to coininomoratc tlic Silver Jubilee. I tlioiight It was such a good Idea tiiat r would like to do tlie same thing in tho Clithei'(jc Division. 1 wonder whether you would ho so kind as to find out for me whether the schools in your area would ho pleased to iieccpt those prints? They arc not very much and of no great value, hut f think tho King’s pose at the inicroplione marks a pei*iod in history which is well illustrated hy the picture.”

It Is much too early to ohlniii any accurate idea f>f the financial siilo f)f Clltlieroe’s


Juhileo programme. Tho expenses are bound to be pretty heavy, but the revenue also reaclied oxeellent dimensions. One tiling certain is that the colelirations will not cost tho town tho £500 the Town Council voted for the purpose. Indeed, some optimists are forecasting a profitl

VILLAGE METHODISTS OUT TO RAISE £250.


Until AVednosda.v. Grindleton Alethodists


had held but one uir/.aar—ami that so fur back as 1899—to help forward their work. Need for a second big effort has arisen con­ sequent on debt incurred by thc extension of tho Inirial ground, together witli a scheme which has been approved for the decoration of the Sunday School and for wliieli a fairly large sum will be required. In all, at least £250 will be needed for tlio.se


combined purposes, and to that end the eongrerfation have been working steadily for many months, while thc scholars, too, imve been doing llieir pait in the promotion of little social efforts. The bazaar, which was opened on AVed-


M(?sday afternoon’s opening ceremony, when many’ friends from Clitheroe aiijl the im- iiHKliate district, as well as otiicrs from more distant places came to give their sujiport. In the absence of the Bev. S. E. Harper,


who was attending the Synod. Air. James Shiittleworth led the opening d(}votions, and very formally introduced Air. Stott, of St. Alines, an old friend of tho cause at Grindleton, whom he asked to take the cliair.


From Modest Beginnings. Air. Stott, who was warmly welcomed,


said that for over 25 .vears ho had taken more than an outside interest in all that appertained to that grand little chapel and school, so that ho knew something of the eliaracter and tlic iiiflnenco which it had exerted. Ho declared that the time was fast coming—if it had not already arrived ihmi character, and not possessions or


station, would determino thc destiny and (juality of any eomimuiity or nation. He had known some of tho grand old saints (if other days—saints who counted it tlieir chief joy'to work and saei ificc for the good of Alethodism in Grindleton. Especially was he glad to meet Airs. Hargreaves, who linked the past with tho present, and whoso family were devotedly attached to thc old place. Beferring to old associations, the happy


hours ho had spent there, ami declaring his belief that the best was yet to be, Air. Stott said ho was nrond to meet many old friends and to do what little he could to encourage those who were earr.ving on tho good work. The Alethodist Chapel at Grindleton began in a very small way in 1SG2, and only on


m‘si!ay and is to be continued to-morrow (Saturday), is the culmination of assiduous and loyal endeavour. The decorations of the room are floral, and the five stalls are representative of the ladies of the congrega­ tion, the men and the children, while farm and other produce, sweets, etc., arc also plenteously displayed. Thcio is also a very excellent tea and refresliment section, side atftrac’tions. and entertainments. Through­ out tile montlis of preparatory work the eommitteo has had Air. Joiin Leeming as chairman, with Air. Tl. Ewart Hargreaves as secretary, and Air. Edward Hargreaves, J.P., treasurer. 'I'liore was a crowded atcmlanee at AV(d-

church to witness tho ceremony, which was p«*rl‘ormcd by the Bev. G. AV. T.vson. Air. David Hanson was at the organ. Given away by her father, tho bride was prettily attired in a dress of blue silk romaino and .shaded georgell(‘ . with a Ballibuital straw hat trimmed with velvet to tone, She woi(> a spray of lilio.s of tho valley and carried a beaded handbag.

one occasion had it been found necessary to resort to a bazaar to meet their obligations. Ho sincerely trusted that tlie present special effort wonl(l have a triumphant result, and that on Saturday evening they would sing the Doxolog.v with real fervour. The difli- cnltios which tho Christian chureli and Sabbath school had to face were always recurring; each generation had Its now problems. Amongst these were thc right u«ie of leisure, and Salibatii observance. “ In God’s name T beseech you to preserve the Salibatli.” Air. Stott exclaimed, adding: “ If .von let tho sanctit.v of this day of rest hceomo a day of somethinc else, tho nation will suffer—aye. and worlcing people most of all.” Tiicrc was a problem of peace wliieli must lie faced courngconsl.v if war was to bo outlawed. Tf over tho sword was to ho turned into a ploughshare men and women must consecrate themselves to thc service of tho Alan of Pearc, thc parliament of maiL and tho federation of the world. To this end cvcr.v church n/ust take its part and work, as well as pray, for universal peace.


An Apt Slogan.


sacrifices which had been made by the friends at Grindleton in support of their ipfcl, and, pleading for thc help of all


frienus in the present effort, he gave a slogan to tho nmlience: If .von don’ t see on the stalls wliat yon want, want what you see.


Airs. Holgatc, of Stamlcii Hoy, Clitheroo,


performed tho ceremony of opening tho bazaar. After expressing appreciation of tho honour conferred upon her, she men­ tioned that she had been in close touch witli village Alethodism all her life. Accord­ ingly she could enter sympathetically into all that had been done by tho friends at Grindleton. Tho stalls eloquently testified to tlio service which evcr.vono had been giving, and it was her very sincere hope that all thc service and sacrifice would bo abundantly rewarded. The work that was being done for God and ATcthodism was as necessarv as ever. Tt must be tho wish of all wlio had the cause nt heart that they would never lack workers who would prove worthy successors to those who liad boon instrumental in furthering that clmrch— workcM’s who would dedicate thomsqlvos to tho service of onr Lord. Boiternting tho wisli tlint tho result, when announced on Saturday night, would exceed expectations, Airs. Holgato declared the bazaar open. Two juveniles, Brenda Green and Bryan


Shnttloworlh, presented a bouquet of carna­ tions and a buttonhole tn Airs. Holgate and Air. Stott, amid the plaudits of the com­ pany. Air. John Looming and Air. John Bead

It is lioped tliat this social is the forerunner of many siniil.nr ones.
