He bellevd that it was the first time In the‘history of the Circuit that It had been visited by a President of the Confer­ ence, though he understood that John Wesley had once preached at West Bradford.


The President was Intro­

More Are Seeking Careers In Cotton


jCICJNS of Increased Interest in cotton by young people


seeking careers, which were reported In a Lancashire sur­ vey this week, are borne out locally by a slight but definite Improvement In the numbers of Clitheroe and district re­ cruits to the mills.


Mr. F. Blackburn, Clitheroe


Youth Enrolment Officer, said “ There Is a definite move to­ wards the cotton Industry. Although the number of those entering the ipllls Is not large, there Is a decided Improve­ ment over last year.” [


NEW AGE He attributes .this to the


fact that a boy of 15 or 16 on entering a mill can now start his apprenticeship at 17. 'When the time comes for National. Service, he Is eligible for de­ ferment. as in the building and engineering trades. .


With no interruption in his training, he can thus qualify


for responsible'posts Ih cotton, before being called for his National Service.


There are still plenty of


vacancies'in the mills for youngsters wishing to avail themselves of . this scheme, added Mr'. Blackburn.


300 Still To Apply


For Welfare Milk ABOUT 300 f am i l i e s in Clitheroe and. district


have not yet applied for their new welfare milk tokens. And without tokens, they will not be able to get cheap milk after to-morrow, October 30th.''


yesterday by Mr. C. F.; Buck­ ingham, manager of the Clith­ eroe Pensions and National Insurance Office. He appealed to mothers with c h i l d r e n under five to fill up the form they received last month and send It off at once to his office.


This reminder was given MORE SIMPLE


say about the tokens scheme; “ It will be simpler and less troublesome for the housewife and the milkman. The; house­ wife can use the Tokens with any milkman anywhere. 'And If she goes away on holiday she should rememljer to take her token book with her. All she has to do is to give the holiday milkman the tokens covering the time she Is,on holiday.”


Mr. Buckingham had’ this to From November 1st, 1954,


all new and renewal applica­ tions for tokens should be made at 31,, Whalley-road, Clltheroe, and not at the Em­ ployment E.xchange as before.

CleI The Council Instructed their rk to write to the owners


suggesting that each consider making a capital contribution pf £20 a year for 10 years for the privilege of having Council water within reasonable dls- tjance of their premises.


NOT TO BUlLDiVG DELAY


TT was completely erroneous to think that the Exech-


tlve were In any way to blame for the delay in the provision of a new Girls’ Grammar School at Clltheroe.


[ j This 'was stressed by Coun­


cillor F. Dugdale, of Clitheroe, at the meeting of Divisional Executive No. 5 at Whalley o i Tuesday afternoon.


| He jvas replying to Mrs.' J.


Troop, of Whalley, who conl- sidered' that a wrong lmpres|- sion mlght.be given that the Executive were to blamle- fo!r any delay in the provlsioh of a new Grammar School. Councillor Dugdale,’presid­ ing In the absence of. the


chairman, ' Alderman j. H. Saterthwalte,' pointed out that the Executive had given their Support to moves made for the provision of the, new school. It was completely’ erroneous to think that the Executive were In any way to blame.


I HOPES SHATTERED


I Hopes of a new Girls’ (Tram- mar School being provided In Clltheroe within the next two of three years were shattered ^ome time ago by the refusal of the Ministry of Education ,to allow the inclusion of the school In-the County Council’s building programme for 1955- 56.
