INVESTMENTS ‘SAFE’


IN BOROUGH CO-OP Auditors give assurance


(jpIIE auditors of Clithcroc Co-operative Society have assured members that the overall security position of members’


for members’ investments in the society—and perhaps just at this present time questions of security take precedence over questions of dividend—we would refer members to the balance sheet” .

stated that “reserves and other funds" amount to £24,745, representing 28 per cent on members’ capital, loans and employees’ superannuation fund amounting to £87,507. This means there is a surplus of £24,745 over all commit­ ments.


The land, buildings and


fixtures account indicates that the values of property, fix­ tures, etc., have been sub­ stantially written down, and the actual value of these assets must well exceed the balance sheet figure.

In face of very severe com­ petition, particularly with regard to the grocery depart­ ments, they had been able to maintain the rate of dividend. Grocery price-cutting to-day was very prevalent, but a very important angle to this was to watch the quality and pack of the goods on offer.


OFFICERS At the half-yearly meeting


on Monday, Mr. James B. Parker and Mr. John Parker were nominated for election as president at the annual meet­ ing next May, and Messrs J. B. Parker, E. Banks, F. Holt and H. Scott were nominated to fill four vacancies on the board of management.


It was agreed that £3 3s. be

Last night week Whalley


Behind the lens with a


naturalist


(THREE years ago Mr. D. W. Jury, of Whalley, bought


a camera and began to take an interest in colour photo­ graphy.


He linked this with natural


history studies, and the results of his enthusiasm and work were seen in a lecture he gave to fellow members of Clitheroe Naturalists’ Society at the Royal Grammar School ! last night week.


Mr. Jury, whose talk was entitled, “Three years with a camera”, had not used an expensive camera. But the - the high quality of the colour slides he exhibited showed that with care and thought the beginner at photography can achieve a reasonable measure of success.


WILDFOWL TRUST He had visited the Severn


Wildfowl Trust at Slimbridge, which is in the care of Peter Scott, and had taken some fine pictures of the various birds, which have sanctuary there, such as red-fronted geese, Canada geese, snow geese, and several types of wild duck, including the whistling tree duck.


Mr. Jury took his audience


to Brittany and Normandy, where the sand dunes are a naturalist’s paradise and where the geologist can find plenty to interest him on the beaches and among the rocks.


The onion man can be seen


at times in the Ribble Valley with strings of onions on his cycle, and Mr. Jury showed pictures of the fields where the onions are grown.


THE LAKE DISTRICT


Back again in Britain, the audience were taken into the Lake District to see pictures of the mountains and the lakes taken at different seasons of the year.


Across to Northern Ireland,


with lovely pictures of the 17- n-.ile long Loch Foyle, the basalt rocks of the Giant’s Causeway and wild flowers, then to the Isle of Man for splendid pictures of volcanic locks, in itiers of concentric formation and contorted rocks overlaying a mass of con­ glomerate.


To conclude his lecture, Mr.


Jury returned to the Ribble Valley to show some delightful pictures of the hedgerows and woodlands, wildflowers and fruits and one very special slide of a rainbow.


Mr. Jury, who was Intro­


duced and thanked by Mr. H. E. Cook, the chairman, gave very adequate proof that good photography is within the reach of anyone without requiring very expensive equipment and that the naturalist can add to his knowledge by the use of a camera.
