The fetes have grown more popular each year, attract­ ing visitors from many parts of East Lancashire. The revival of the Castle Fete several years ago was an important move In the desire to make greater use of the Castle grounds.


Another step in this direction was the introduction of the Castle concerts earlier this summer. Unfortunately, they were not graced with ideal weather and the sup­ port was not as great as it might otherwise have been. Nevertheless, the concerts would be welcome again next year.


The “Advertiser and Times” has, on several occasions, urged that greater use be made of the Castle grounds, and it is pleasing to Tecord that this is now being done.


A good programme of enter- tainment will comprise this , year’s Castle Fete, and , given good weather, there is ( no reason why the event j should not continue in the , same Itradition as its pre- ! decessors by being another

In his sermon the Bishop oi


Burnley said that Mr. Kirk­ ham came to Langho with much experience but would need the prayers of the people to help him. It was the duty of the laiety to pray for the clergy at all times.

a good welcome, but the wel­ come must not be the be-all

congregation that there were many pagan gods for man and there was a vital need of re­ conversion to faith in prac­ tice.


There was a need for a


vigorous Church but this was not possible without vigorous churchmen and women. There could be no sitting on the fence where religion was concerned. People were either going forward or backwards.


The Bishop said he was dis­


turbed by the future of the newly-confirmed. They could


be given the greatest help in the home. If this help was not forthcoming the work of the parish priest was pretty well sabotaged.

he had heard of a disturbance in Rlbblesdale View and ar­ rived as Smith, who pleaded guilty, was getting into an ambulance. He was taken to Accrington Victoria Hospital for treatment to an injured

Smith had struck first. In court, Vose, who pleaded


not guilty, said that there had been five or six fighting and he did not know whether he had hit Smith or not. After­ wards he had gone to the police station and reported the disturbance.

put a temporary light in the piggery, because the system was not working. He had plugged a piece of cable into a plug socket, and had been working with the switch in the “Off” position.


“Although the switch to the


light was in the off position, it had no effect whatsoever because the system was wrongly wired and electricity was still running to the point where Miller was apparently trying to cut the cable.” Mr. Brown declared.


“Unfortunately electricity is


an invisible and very power­ ful force. Many of us who try to do electrical work do not realise the dangers to which we expose not only ourselves, but others.


UNFORTUNATE, UNWISE “This installation had ap­


parently been put down by an amateur, and had never been tested. It is unfortunate and unwise that he should have tried to carry out the repair when the cable was still con­ nected to the mains, and when it could so easily have been disconnected.


“One can only hope that


such publicity as this case is given will discourage people from doing electrical work. It is within my knowledge that is within my knowledge that on one day two cases resulted in death, which in both cases, was due to a switch being wrongly wired.”


Mr. William M. Marshall, of Castle View, Clitheroe, an


inspector employed by the North-West Electricity Board, said he was called to Bank Top Farm shortly after mid­ night on Friday. The cable was still connected by a plug to a socket in the piggery, and the mains switch was off.


He found a fracture in the


cable, which appeared to be the result of a new cut. The switch in the pig sty was in wrong polarity, and in this case, even with the switch in the "Off” position, there would be full voltage going back to earth, due to the faulty wiring. A circuit where a switch was in the wrong polarity was extremely dang­ erous, and if a person tried to cut a cable connected to that switch, that person would get a shock.


Asked whether there was


any system of inspection of electrical installations, Mr. Marshall said it was usual for contractors to inform the Board of work they were


RAIL GROUP DEMAND BETTER TRANSPORT ‘We can’t get to Clitheroe’ plea


("INLY two bus services a week will be available to carry passengers between Hellifleld and Gisburn when the

A member of the group, Mr. J. C. Fishwick, of Hellifleld,


said Mr. John Hay, Par­ liamentary Secretary, Ministry of Transport, had told Mrs. Barbara Castle, M.P. for Blackburn, that the passenger services on the line would not be withdrawn until Ribble Motors had been able to aug­ ment bus services to cater for rail travellers.


ONLY SERVICES The pressure group consider


that this appears to apply be­ tween Gisburn and Black­ burn, but not between Gisburn and Hellifleld, where the only services were on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Mr. Fishwick said a bus left To make a bus journey from


Hellifleld to Blackburn would entail changes at Skipton and, probably, Accrington, and would take about two hours,


The trip by rail would take less than an hour and cost less than the bus fare.


The group complain that


rail services over the Clitheroe line have been cut over the years and this had done away with connections at Blackburn


and Hellifleld* Rail bookings had slumped


at Clitheroe during the holi­ days, due to train fares which were much higher than those for long-distance coach travel.

any recommendation he could make which could avoid similar incidents, Mr. Marshall appealed for all work to be notified to the Board in order that it could be properly in­ spected. “People are prone to do this kind of thing, and we know nothing of the work un­ til an accident like this happens.”


Asked whether there was Mr. John Bolton, Bank Top


Farm, said Miller had worked for him in the evenings on occasions, doing odd jobs. They were fixing some water bowls in the buildings on Fri­ day. There was a burst pipe in the piggery, Mr. Bolton said, and because the electric wires had been broken down earlier, he told Miller to be sure and repair the burst before dark as there was no light.


Miller had suggested they should try and repair the system, and while he had been out, Mr. Bolton said he had borrowed a length of cable from a neighbour. On one end was a plug, and on the other an inspection lamp.


Mr. Bolton said he put the


j cable plug into the socket, and the bulb in the inspection lamp came on, but went out almost immediately. He passed Miller another bulb, which had been working prev­ iously, but that would not

| Miller had asked if the i switch was off, and witness

Miller must have decided to cut the cable, however, be­


cause he suddenly heard a big noise. The Coroner asked: “Would it not have been wiser to have disconnected the cable from the socket?”


and was then asked why that was not done.


Mr. Bolton agreed it would, Mr. Bolton replied: "He said


it was right. I have done jobs myself with the switch in the off position.”


The Coroner: “Will you do


so again?” Mr. Bolton said he would


not. Mr. Bolton then agreed that


he had seen Miller after the accident. He rushed to switch off the mains, and then ran back to pull Miller into the yard. He was breathing at that stage, and witness said he massaged his chest.
