Mr. Broughton: remarked that they had heard the Bible


quoted and they had heard a former Archbishop of Canter­ bury quoted, and he hoped that people would not allow the wool to be pulled over their eyes In this manner. The Bible and the Archbishop had both been misquoted, and the words distorted, in order to make people think that religion^, was in favour of freedom’ and Sunday cine­

cinema organisation behind the scheme had little or no thought about Clltheronlans. The leaflets and; the posters they had put up were printed by firms outside Clitheroe. They had not brought any. money Into the town, but If they opened on Sundays they would certainly be taking money out of the town.
