his leisure time constructing working models of loco­ motives.


His first achievement was an


L.M.S. tender-type locomotive withj a three-apd-a-half inch


gauge, but due to track dlfli- culties. this was never run in public in Clitheroe..

Shortage Of Nevv Entrants Is Threat To Cotton

Would appear to be reasonable judgingj from the “Advertiser: and Times"i of January 2nd, in which refer-;' ence ivas madej to “ happier prospects in the mills,” and also to- the improved :; attendance 'figures after thei'i (Christmas holidays, the .news regarding school leavers is distressing and augurs ill t|oto for the future of the industry here in Clitheroe, and for .the community generally. Of all local industries it is probable that textiles still hold pride of place so: far as exports are concerned and any dlminua- tion of our coimtry’s efforts in this direction will be a tragedy which will affect us all. It is time therefore - that the
