New Cemetery Needed At V^aUey ^


grave space in 'Whalley Church­ yard is almost at an eiid and that, a new cemetery will be needed by about the end of the | year.;


' • , , ; The provision of a new


cemetery has been under dis­ cussion for several years. Sometime ago, the parish


councils of Whalley and Wiswell established a Joint Cemetery Committee and negotiations have taken place respecting land fronting on Clitheroe road. The discussions have hot been com­ pleted but in view of the position at 'Whalley C h u r c h y a r d a meeting of the Cemetery Com­ mittee is to be held to expedite the scheme.


.Magazine, the vicar (Rev. C. R. Brown) says he hopes it will be. possible to find sp^ce in the churchyard for the burial of a^es after cremation, and that thisV/ i l l encourage what many people beUeve .to be a much more desirable form of burial."

Girls’ Club Forgot Ike Records


m e m b e r s of the Catholic Girl’s Club set off In high


spirits to a double, event on Saturday, a physical culture display at Bolton and a visit to Manchester Opera House to see the play “ No Room at the Inn.”


Perhaps they were too ex­


dancing display,, The coach had already reached Whalley' before they made the ; dis­ covery,, and thanks are due to the quick-thinking girl who caught a ’bus toi Clitheroe and collected the all-impor­ tant discs. Undeterred by such an unpromising start, they thoroughly e n j o y e d themselves at Bolton In spite of some c nfuslon during one of their dances. Afterwards, they went on to Manchester to see the play


cited at the thought of having a day out, .or maybe It was Just absent-mindedness made them forget the gramophone records


for. their country


■ and some of the younger girls succeeded In obtaining auto­ graphs of the actresses


SOLVING A PROBLEM As with most Youth Clubs,


lack of financial assistance is the chief cause of worry to the Squires, and at their meeting bn Sunday they dis­ cussed “ how to! get rich quick.”- Many methods were suggested and finally it was decided th a t a dance would help to solve the problem, and th a t the entertainments com­ mittee should get busy.


NEW COMMITrEE


Club on Monday Clitheroe and District Youth Council decided to replace the sports and social committee by an executive committee, com­ prising: Mr. F. Park (chair­ man), Mr. E. , M u s s o n (secretary)- and Miss J. Seed, Miss B. Penny and Mr. R. Dobson.


BEETLE DRIVE There was a large attend­


ance at a Beetle Drive, organised by the St. Leonard’s Youth Club,, on Thursday week. Mr.; Edward Fowler acted as M.C; and the winners were Miss Hilda Bradley, Mr. Jim Ellis and Ira Bullcock (con.)

two men whose names were given as Hin,dle and put to


Clitheroe County Magistrates on Monday when thiy heard a case in which Marion Perry (47) of 83, Hodder-street, Accrington, appeared on six summonses of obtaininf money by false pretences. Involving a total of £108 6s., from liifelong friend” Mrs. Margaret Ann Scott, Ye Olde Whalley B[ouse, King-street, Whalley. — |—------^


-------------- Perry, who pleaded not


guilty, was bound over for 12 months and ordered- to p'ay costs and an advocate’s fee of £5 5s. She was also ordered


to make restitution of £75. “We are of the opinion that there has been Insufficient evidence to prove to us that Mr. Hindle and Mr. Robinson are real people ” said Aider- man J. H. Satterthwalte, an­ nouncing the Bench’s decision. Mr. R. H. Rowland, who pro­


secuted, said Peny and Mrs. Scott had been friends for about 20 years.. Early In 1947, Mrs. Scott bought a house and shop In Read which she pro-


, posed to turn Into a cafe. Miss Perry knew her plans,


- Scott gave Perry money to purchase goods from this man, whom she called 1“ Charlie


Hindle.” ■ : The police had made com­


prehensive enquiries to- find Hindle or anyone answering his description i n . the same line of business, but without success. I t was an! extraor­ dinary coincidence, said Mr. Rowland, th a t Miss Perry had always been alone iwhen in Hindle’s company, and that the man had never been seen


by anyone else. She had given a full descrip­


tion of him to the police, and it seemed incredible th a t in


these days of registration thei police with all the resources at their command, I should not be able to find him;


“ GILDED THE LILY.’’


went on. Perry glided the lily by producing a second, man


called Robinson , whom she said was giving up a butchery business and had a refriger­ ator and other articles for


. disposal. Perry had also given, a


detailed description of Robin­ son, but again the police had' riot been able to trace him, despite the fact th a t a butcher could not carry on business without-people know­ ing it. The: prosecution alleged tha t thei-two men. In fact, did not exist. .

In evidence, Mrs Scott said


Exton, defending, Mrs.- Scott' agreed th a t on ; previous occasions ' she had given money to Miss iPerry to buy articles, and that- these had been delivered. i ; She also agreed thct she had! received £4' back on the! money paid-


that she had ' never' seen either of the men, and. had riot got receipts from Perry for the money she gave her for the goods. “I trusted her as a lifelong friend’’ she said.. Cross-examined by Mr.: J. E.


for: the refrigerator. ! Miss Perry had gone with


her, and had written! letters on ! her behalf,- to the Food Oflfice, and had generally helped her In ’jnany, ways.


Perry said she jherself\ had beep duped of £ 3 7 10s. of her own money;'

statement by Perry th a t she had passed 'on| money to Hindle and Robinson for Mrs. Scott’s furniture, and had subsequently made extensive Inquiries In an effort to trace the men.

he had learned from a dentist thap the teeth ! which had­ been made over 20 years ago, had not been worn for a con­ siderable time. Perry had led them .to believe that she had knocked them from fllndle’s mouth In the struggle. : : P.S. Haslewood: said Perry caipe to the'pollce station and described an alleged assault by Hindle. Her story was in­ coherent and ishe smelt strongly of spirits;


UKE SISTERS Perry told the !Bench that-


she! had frequently bought goods on Mrs. Scott’s behalf. She had. gone with her to the Pood Office about a licence. All'in all they i were “ like,! sisters.” ■ She had written letters for her, and after Mrs. Scott had bought ithe house at Read, she had offered the occupants alternative accom­ modation at Accrington to allow Mrs. Scott .vacant pos­ session.


! She : chatted with ■ Hindle


several -times on the bus from Accrington to 'Whalley, and on,: one occasion hje: had. brought a table to her'house onia motor bike and sidecar. Several of the! goods, she


bought from .Hindle were delivered ,to Mrs. Scott, but


Perry told him she had been i “ We submit jthat Perry is Unfortunately, Mr. Rowland


and about Easter, according to defendant’s statement, she told Mrs. Scott th a t a man she had met In a;bus had some cafe furniture which might be useful. During the year, Mrs.
