Children’s Efforts, Church Collections Help Swell The Total


GENEROUS response by the people of Clitheroe and district to the appeal launched last week by tlie Mayor


(Councillor Frank Dugdale) In aid of the flood-s t r i c k e n Lynmouth area of North Devon, r CjS u 11 e d in more than £500 being raised up to Wednesday morning.


money raised by local school- children who organised anc ran pound, toy, flower and bpok stalls. Collections taken in churches, at mills.,and in workshops in the town and district also helped swell the fund.


, ' One of the first efforts to be


run by children was an onen stall and sale of toys by three schoolgirls of the Waddlng- ton-roadf district.


They were Kathleen Holt,


Helen Turner and Ann Silver- wood who set up their stall under a railway bridge near the Chester-avenue recreation ground, and as a result, were


sable to hand to the Mayor the sum of £7.


At the other end of the


town, ten small girls gave a concert In The Crescent, Hen- thorn, on Saturday afternoon and as a result raised £2 10s. Those taking part .were B. Finch, D. MacNaUy, B. Clay­ ton, J. Holden, B. Clark. R. and D. Hall, -M. Haimah, C. Parkinson and S. Holgate. A jumble sale a t . Seedall-


avenue, run by Anne McNulty. Marilyn Hannah, Kathryn McNulty, Denise McNulty and Jacqueline Dobson raised £3 10s., while, Hilda Moon and Dorothy M. Brunker raised 13s. 6d. by; holding a collec­


tion among friends and neighbours. Judith Alty, Jean lAnn


Brearley, , Denise Oddle and Margaret -Roblhson, of the Plmllco-road


a r e a, took


flowers., from' their gardens and sold them. They raised £1 6s. 7d.


OUTSTANDING EFFORT An outstanding effort was


t h a t of two Clitheroe Grammar School girls, Betty Rigby and Joan Slater whose


pound stall, In Chatburn-road realised £18. At Slddows-avenue, B. Bar­


ker, E. Orr, N. Richardson, C. Swarbrick, P. Challoner, L. -Wallbank and T. Greatorex raised £3 16s. 6d. from a jumble sale, while a similar event at Salthill-road, run by F. M. Lofthouse, A.j Cameron, and John Cameron, raised £1 10s.;-

More than half of - these workers were cap­ turing, struggling and ■ carrying away the winged ants which, havirpg been overcome ‘ soon be­ came resigned to . their fate. Other workers apparently oblivi­ ous of the general commotion went' about the daily task while one party was carrying ® small c 'a t e r p : l la /T , half-an-lnclh in length, to come imknown destination. It soon became' obvious that


the ' struggle between the workers and the winged male and female ants had arisen, be­ cause of premature swarming.

Retirement Pensions iTo Be Increased.-When To ^pply


1>LAN3 for paying the! In-


; creased retirement pen- jSions , from 29th September -have been announced by,iMr! !C. F. Buckingham, manager of the National Insurance Office at 31 Whalley-road, Clitheroe.


Mr. Buckingham said that


the standard weekly rates would go up to 32s. 6d. for an Insured person or a widow, and to 21s. 6d. for a wife whose pension was based on her husband’s Insurance. ; 'The dependant’s allowance for a wife under 60 would ako! be Increased to 21s; 6d„ and jthe jallowance for the first chlw. to jlOs. 6d. Allowances fop any other children would remain at 2s. 6d. a week In addition ,to family allowances..


j j -


[ The increase would lii the main be paid by stamping! up the orders dated after {29th September In the pensioners’ present books, and the! [job would be spread over four weeks.


WHEN TO APPLY To pensioners, Mr. Bucking­


ham said: “ If you are draw­ ing pehsloils at the staiidkrd fates of 30s., 26s., 20s., of i3s. a week, please bring in [Sburc books to my office to i be stamped up. The week; to bring, them will .depend,! as last year, on the first letter o f your surname.”


j !


the books are;—Surnames be­ ginning A—E between Thurs­ day. 28th August, and Wed­ nesday, 3rd September. pl-K between Thdrsday, 4th [Sep­ tember, and Wednesday, 110th September. L—R between Thursday, 11th September and -Wednesday. 17th September. S—Z between Thursday, (18th September, and Wednesday, 24th September.


i ; RIGHT DATES ] “ Please keep to these dates


so-that there will be no queues or undue pressure on; the office,” said Mf. Buckingham. '; And. please bring your book early in the week so that you can have it back in time to draw your pension on your next pension pay-day. If [it is riot convenient to call with your book, the Post Office [will' give you a free addressed envelope In which to post !it.”


He specially asked pension­


ers to check that their correct up-to-date home address [was on the front of the book If not, they should fill in [ the details in the space provided on Leaflet N.I.69. which I the Post Office had Issued to pen­ sioners, or write thelf inew home address with their! full name and pension numbe'r on a piece of paper and pin it to the front, of their order book. Any pensioner away from


his home and living tertipbrar- ily in the;Clitheroe area could bring or send his book[ for •stamping up. If he sent It by post he I should state ! the


address to which it was to be returned.!

The fbllowingi groups! of |

B(IEAKS OFF WINGS After ithh nuptial flight is


over the female ant comes down to earth and at her wings are now of [no further use she breaks them,off either! by using her jaws Or -rubbing them! against a scone or plant stem); Freed from these encumbrances she des­ cends 1 underground' and like many social wasps and bees builds a home for her eggs.

I 'When ithe:[first batch hatch out they 'fiilfll i set pur­ pose in' a well Prganised economy.

ficial stu-dy of iljesa fascinating creatures, The ant community has its own arcihltects, workers nursemaids, and not (o be out­ done by even Ihumijis, they
