AT STONYHURST; RALLY i '


nesday afternoon for the first rally to be held under the auspic is of the Lancashire ' branch of the North - West Shortlorn Breeder’s Association. Included in the remark­


ably lig attendance were a number [of farmers from the Ribble Valley who are using the Wballey A.I. services, and for wl om the rally was chiefly designed, [


About 40 dairy shorthorns, pedigrei! and non-pedigree, were on view and came for­ ward ill four sections. The first section for pedigree ; families. Included four from Mr..R.

New Seconda^ Modern School At Riversmead


Opens For Bowland Children Oh August 23rd


WHEN BOWLAND children end their summer hoUdays, those ^ of eleven years and upwards wiU continue their education at Riversmead, Bowland’s first secondary modern school.


Built years ago by Mr. A.


Hitchon. the premises are more familiarly known as Grindleton Hydro but it seems, they have been destined to, cater for the rising generation rather than the leisured classes. ! For about 15 years the Rlbblesdale’ Branch of the 'National Children’s Home


was' there and hundreds' of children were cared for.


In 1937 the home was closed


because it was considered too costly to make necessary altera­ tions to the premises, which at that time housed about 70 children. Next it was a home for refugee children from Germany, but was again used by the National Children’s Home when it re-opened in 1944.


A year or two later, however,


the' children were t'aken away and the premises were put up for sale. Bowland Council con­ sidered acqurlng thern lor use as Council Offices but were out­ bid! by a private buyer from whom they were subsequently


purchased by the West Riding Ikiucation Authority in March, 1948, for £5,500. Repairs and alterations to adapt


A broad staircase leads to the


ground floor and the assembly hall to which light is admitted by the windows which foim three


sides of it. Outside there are extensive


grounds for recreational pur­ poses and where gardening and associated subjects can be carried out in practice.


As can be expected of a school


which, perched on Grindleton Fells, has a commanding view of the Ribble Valley, and as far as Ingleborough, the educational bias will be a rural one. Riversmead will derive its


scholars from all the, junior schools (except Thorneyholme R.C.) in the Bowland Rural District. The headmaster will be Mr. E. P. Nicholson.'Of Selby, and there will be about 150 scholars. Mr. T. 'Walker, chairman of


the Bowland Education Com­ mittee, and Mr. E. B. Nelson, divisional education officer, told the “ Advertiser and Times” on Monday that no expense or


the


premises for school use were then estimated at £1,300, and it was planned to open the school the following September.


Delays were encountered,


however, but it is now known that the school will open on August 23rd.


EXTENSIVE ALTERATIONS Extensive alterations have been


made and now painters are busy transforming the rooms with attractive colour schemes in cream and white and cream and pink.


The schoof dining room on


the upper floor will be the envy of many schools 'for it is large and airy and extremely well lighted. Next to it is a “servery” and behind that is the , kitchen with its two electric cookers, a coke-fired range, refrigerator and other equipment.


All meals at the school will be


prepared in this kitchen, and staff have been appointed.


’The two long sides-of the


dining room are each bounded by a passage giving access to ■classrooms and to the school grounds.

'fTHOMAS Marsland Gornall -*• (32), motor driver,


of Turner Fold, Chalgley, was at Bolton-by-Bow- land on Monday fined £2 for driving a motor lorry at an excessive speed, and


had his licence endorsed. He was also fined 5s. for failing to produce his driving licence. He pleaded guilty.

P.C. Allen told the MagIS'


at Gisburn when he saw de­ fendant driving a motor wagon, at an estimated speed of 40 miles an hour. The police followed the wagon and -.checked its speed, finding it


trouble was being spared to make the school the equal of any similar school in the towns, so that a full secondary modern education could he given.

REStlMTS CHANGE OP SI


This decision has followed


the receipt of a petition signed by 55 residents of Wll- kln-street asking for the re­ naming of the street and sug­ gesting Higfield-road as the alternative


,. The petition was organised


by Miss E. Robinson, of 46, Wilkln-street and Mr., R. Bradshaw, of -No. 58.


suggested name of Carlton- road was put forward for the Council’s approval but nothing came of it and it was later found that the name had been used for another street in the [ vicinity. The residents chose Carlton because of the Mill bearing that riame which stands about half way down the street.


About three months ago the! Now, as the top end of the'


street is an Incline by ter-[ mlnated by fields, they have: decided upon Highfield as the; new name. Mrs. E. Birtles, who has


lived in the street for many; years, and whose signature! appears on the petition, said that many years ago Wilkln- houses was meadow land. Mrs.


Birtles is all in favour of the new name as she thinks it has a more distin^ished terrace and land across the street, now occupied by new sound than “just plain iVil- kin-street.”


The reslderits now await the Council’s decision.


46 vary between 40 and 45 niiles an hour. 'When this was pointed out 'Gornall replied “ I am late, I have been listening to the fight,” and added that as hlS dashboard light had fused he had to estimate his speed. As he could not then produce his driving licence he was told to •produce it to the police at Clitheroe.


P.C. Buchanan said Gornall


was late in producing the licence at Clitheroe and when told about this Gornall ex­ plained he lived in a remote part of the country, that he had been ill and could not get to Clitheroe in time.

JRRESPECTIVE of the passing of; time; the . general [scheme


for holidays is just the same to­ d a y as it was 25 years, ago. People still go to .th^! same places, and more important, still enjoy themselves; To [prove the truth. [ in this statement.' thej


following is an- extract! taken froih the “ Advertiser and[ Times” dated Friday, July 25,11924.


“ Somewhat mixed, describes the - weather


■ That experi]


enced ! during Clitherpe week now concluding: can become wildly enthusiastic, about it,


holidajf ;No-body


for the | utmost


uncertainty has prevailed as to what would be served up next. The same story comes from the resorts, amongst which i Scarp borough seems to have fared best. The exodus was larger jhan exp pected as the following details


N)f period bookings at the Rail­ way Station show: ^ Blackpool 600; Liverpool 120; j Southport 140; London 110; Npitfi ilValep 40; Isle of ^ a n ; 80; ; Ney.

Mdny holiday-makers used


Toad vehicles,.not orilylfor the towns but for journeys! to the nearer resorts, and the| number leaving the town must' | haye approach^ a record:


I At ai^ rate Clitheroe has had an; un­


usually I deserted :appearanoe during the week,-for the majority of the “ stay-at-homes ” !have in­ dulged in day trips. Many of the motor'excursions [have been well patronised[ and advantage hM also been taken of the day trips by rail. Olltheronians generally have made the most of the facilities offered and of the weather.”


The facts in this article could


just as easily be related to this year’s,'Wakes Week 'as| to thai particular holiday 25 years ago.


CONTROVERSIAL , point among . Whalley cricketers I


am told, concerns an incident in -the recent home game with. ] Blackburn Northern. The sdle." of the boot of a Northern fields­ man came loose, so he sat on


pavilion seat while he made change. A 'Whalley batsmlin noticing there was no fielder at


■that part of the boundary pliyed a high shot which would un­ doubtedly have gone for four if the man on the pavilion seat had not rushed on to the field and attempted a catch, and iniso doing prevented th e ' ball from going over . .the boundary, the batsman taking only two runs.


Whalley supporters ore now


asking (a) was the Northern player in order in; returning] to ' the field ? (b)' if he had made .the catch would the batsman have been out? (c) was the batsman entitled .to four runs instead of the two that were [re­ corded ? An umpire, It is staged, declares thai even if the catch had been 'made he would pot have given the batsman out.
