burn-road on Saturday, the weather could not have been binder. Each ye.ar since its inception, the, event has been favoured with glorious weather and Saturday, if anything, was just a little to Wkrm for comfort,


by a scorchingly hot after­ noon and the multi-coloured frocks of the women, blending


A dull morning was followed


with the lovely flower beds' surrounding the : bowling green, made the green sward resemble: an artiste’s palette.


Numerous stalls and attrac­


tions staged by various sec­ tions of the club all. attracted' the visitors and a brisk trade, resulted In the Club bene-: fitting by £120.


The produce stall was


under the supervision of Mrs. G. Clarkson and women' members of the tennis section, and the gift stall was run by women members of the Club under Mrs. Hlndle-Hlgson. A treasure hunt stall was run by the bowling section who also organised the obstacle golf course which attracted many children and adults during the afternoon.


I ■ ■ A darts booth, fixed to one


of the: ■ sightscreens, was equally ; attractive,, while queues of eager bowlers, all anxious to take the wicket of a second eleven player, formed at the nets.


'


tion for the young people was the pony and trap which took about half a dozen children at a time round • the field, and also the little pony which was never without |a child on its back. These were organised by Mr. T. Walmsley,and their popularity was apparent from the constant queues,


But far the biggest attrac­ Children’s races were an


attractive feature of the afternoon’s entertainment, while In the veterans’ races, men over 40 years of age valiantly puffed and. panted their way over 60 yards.


Both tennis and bowling


finals drew crowds of specta­ tors and the games were w;ell worth seeing. On the court, Mr. R. Attree was defeated; in the final of the Jubilee Cup by Mr. G. Thornber, the scores being 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 and on the bowling green one, of the district’s most successful players, Mr. Harry Dewhurst, beat Mr. Ben Edwards 15-7, In the final of the Southworth Cup, which was presented to him Mayor (Councillor Rushton).

A GRAND EXAMPLE OF Sir,—After the exhilarating


cricket witnessed by the big crowd at Chatburn-road gijound on Sunday last, there Is] surely something to be said in its, favour. From a specta­ tor’s point of view, it was almost all that could be desired. Even the keenest student of the game, with^a fair understanding of the wiles of the slow bowler—who throws up the Innocent look- irig lobs which most specta- tbrs couW “knock out of sight” -i-and with a fair* knowledge Of handling a bat, could not

! I Even taking into account ithat few “ opening” bowlers 'were on view against first


!hatsmen, the fact remains that similar bowling is very


dfteh treated with the utmost respect—usually between 6, p.m. and 7-30 p.m.-by bats­ men quite capable of going for the runs required, but who


dare not take the risk of Ibsing their wickets and pos­ sibly losing one point for their

My contention Is that, irre­

Council Decision Upheld By iviagistrates


to grant a licence to Charles Henry Hamer, of'Man Old-road, Mddleton, to use a caravan, now situated " Farm, Hurst Green.


r^LITHEROE County Magistrates on Monday, i. rf decision of Clitheroe RurarDistrict Council in n


1 For the appellant, Mr. E. SUnger said that the caravan j -a single decker converted jbus—was only' used at week­ ends and on Sundaj^j after­ noons as a sun-house ” and jvas not Intended to be


permanent' Hamer was the


Middleton Relay,


' dwellingj Mr.: Mdn'ager of Service and


cuu


could not get a fixed holiday, so resorted to this means ofj; relaxation. It was bn the! suggestion of an ofiBcial of the! Council that Mr. Hamer, made' the application.


.! "The application wbs made' on May 24, and on | June a ;


notice was received | stating! that the local authority r 6 - : fused to grant' a' ; licence;; There was no mention of the! grounds for their refusal, and though they were not bound! to give their reasons, one;


I would have thought they 1 would have done so {In thli ■ I case,” said Mr. Sllnger.


, ':


[i WILLING TO COIOTLY Mr. Hamer, he sail'd, was


.quite willing to comply with any suggestions the ; Council


might wish to make I for the improvement of conditions. T|he Clitheroe RD.Jc. addi­


tional Sanitary Inspector, Mr.


;H. I Cockshutt outlined the Council’s objections |as fol­ lows: The caravan Is situated In a bullt-up|area; It Is being used year by year; The houses In the close prolxlnilty are shortly to be connected to a sewer for sanitary facilities and yet the caravan will be remaining there with a pall closet: Thebe Is po provision for sink water or dust bins, and ,the| caravan Is situated near a public foot­ path.


I : .For the Council, Mr. R. P.


Lee said the primary respon­ sibility! rested with the Couh- cllj 'They had the power, to grant licences andj Impose certain conditions, and also had the power to refuse licences without stating their reasons.

Lee, “ Is the question I of public Policy.” The Counijil’S


‘ The main Issue,” said Mr.


refusal was not' necessarily based on sanitation alone. The policy of the Council .at the present time was to reduce, if it I could, the number I of temporary dwellings In the arba because, firstly,! they wefe very hard to control, ind secondly, because If [ they jdld get out of control, the p!ositlon might become quite dangerous frjxm a sanitary point! of view.


; Mr. Lee said theideclslon [had

were based on Income Ta3j';rer turns, so the true figures are ertalnly even more dispro­


portionate. The Bulletin con­ cludes that If profits! had been limited to a fair level Instead df averaging 14 per cqnt. re- thm on capital, £750'million would have been ayllable for ijeducln^ prices. But it Is not necessary to product statistics ijo convince most people that their wages are insufficient to buy their requirements and If thatjls not maldistribution i)f wealth, perhaps I Mr;, Cun- Iffe will explain what is:


Your [ correspondent seems


X) bellve that ourlj Industrial methods haye only beem Dbsolete since the advent of a Labour! Government. To take one Instance, ! I sukgest - that; he ask! any cotton [operatives In Clitheroe for their opinion on this point. As regards! technical efficiency! American levels are high. Theiri wages are high, but so | are their prices. If the economy of that country is the Tory model, we may legitimately note; that U.S. unemployed number at present nearly ] 4,000,000 (equivalent to about 14 million here) and arc expec­ ted to rise to between, 10 and 15 mlillbn. Not much; there that l^ritlsh voters wllj wish to emulate.


, i These I feel are ithe salient


of the what is


facts of our situation to-day. The Tories, no more than Labour, are willing to face them. The Tory remedy is to drive down ! wages in a vain attempt to. undercut their foreign rivals, thereby only succeeding In worsening the crlsi. Less money-4-less goods -more ■ uhemptoypien:—still less moiiey—etc.,- such is the crazy cycle which will always ensue from, these lunatic Tory economlcs.^,And not all their vaguely .jworded [ pamphlets and brightly coloured posters —no, not.
