Profile by Brian Edwards MR. FRANK TINGLE


T IFE is a wonderful ex- perience, one to be


enjoyed and exploited to the utmost. The best things in life are not solely avail­


able to the rich, but also to the humblest working men and women.


Frank Tingle is a living example of this philosophy. He has travelled widely in three continents, met many famous personalities of musical, sporting, travel and entertainment circles and seen a good deal more of life than many people with more time and more money.


And yet his roots are still deep-set in the soil of the Clitheroe district, a region for which he feels so great an affection that even if the opportunity arose to retire to any place in the world, he would still stay in Clitheroe.


I spoke to him in his travel agent’s office in King Street from where he has already this year sent people to every continent. Surround­ ed as we were by alluring pictures of internationally- famous resorts, he readily admits that he would like to see them all, but equally readily he told me that he would not like to leave Clitheroe.


When war broke out he served his country in the Fleet Air Arm, spending several years in the African theatre of war.


It was not long, however, before he was broadcasting on South African radio


and organising bands on board ship and ashore.


I asked him what he thought of modern music. “Is there any ! was his wry comment.


Mr. Tingle is a great advocate of emigration. He thinks this country is too small to support the growing popula­ tion, and, having travelled


widely, thinks there are greater opportunities


Africa.


I asked him which man he admired above all others. His reply was emphatic. “Without a doubt, Jack


Dempsey”.


He told me about the occasion when he was in New York and met the famous boxer.


He was tremendously im­ pressed with the man’s Integrity, personality and gentleness.


It was while in New York that Mr. Tingle invited a Mr. Frank Carbo to a party. The man never arrived, and later Mr. Tingle found the


reason.


Carbo was in hiding in South (America trying to beat 110-year gaol sentence as leader of Chicago’s under­


world. PROGRESSIVE THINKER


Mr. Tingle Is an energetic and progressive thinker, and although some of his ideas are somewhat premature there can be little doubt that some day they will be


accepted.


Take, for example, his scheme for a helicopter landing site in Clitheroe. To many people the Idea might seem Impractical, yet Skipton has a site reserved for just such a purpose.

COUNTRY DIARY


CONFLICTING impulses are ^ seldom more apparent than at this time of the year. The weather is no exception for, as we have come to know, February can produce even in a day a touch of winter and a promise of spring.


It has no moving parts—


yet in ten seconds it fills itself as a flower takes up moisture

The same certainly applies


we disturbed a flock of some 30 curlew. No doubt they were the vanguard of what we can term local migrants. They must have been encouraged to leave the coast by those odd spring-like days we enjoyed during the first week of the month.

But .they will, I am sure


however, this movement is one of the many signs which are now revealing themselves in our countryside that spring is not too far ahead.

assembly of black-headed gulls. They, in complete con­ trast to the curlew revealed no sign of any changingbehaviour. Indeed, it was interesting to note all were in winter plum­ age with no sign of any chocolate-black crown dis­ played in spring.


ALSO in the same riverside pasture was a small

On several of the nearby


hazel, it appears, is always eager to press on with domes­ tic affairs. They are, with the snowdrops, an encouraging indication of better days ahead. The tide has already turned and each day reveals the upward trend of spring.


Similarly to the curlews, the SLIGHT MOVEMENT


blue tits and the odd pheasant were the only signs of life. Then, quite unexpectedly, a slight movement at the foot of an old ash, caused me to turn.

ahead. PIGEON CARCASS


A T first it appeared to be a plover, closer investigation


showed it to be the remains of a pigeon. The carcass had been picked clean and one leg bore a plain white celluloid ring. The other was missing ! The cause of the tragic end to what appeared to be a homing pigeon would remain a mystery.


hMier ground, a pair of goosanders passed rapidly downstream. In the pale sunlight, they made a striking picture. With outstretched necks and streamlined bodies the pair, male and female, were soon out of sight.


Later, as we stood on the It is interesting to note how

I t was, however, a qualified admission. “Clitheroe is all right but . . . ”


And then he told me what he would do if he were “in charge”. His main com­ plaint is that not enough is done for teenagers, com­ pared with other towns in the area.


There is nowhere for them to dance, nowhere suitable for them to swim, and in fact very little to keep them in Clitheroe at all.


SUNDAY CINEMAS


Mr. Tingle was one of the advocates of Sunday cinema shows, and for a time was secretary of the Clitheroe Sunday Cinema Club.


Another of his complaints Is that not enough is done to publicise the town. He thinks the town should be run on big business lines, with mass advertising to attract both tourist and prospective residents to the town.


In his opinion, the days of tripartite local government are over. The borough and the two rural districts should be amalgamated and treated as one area.


In this area, he says, are some of the best hotels in Eng­ land, some of the prettiest villages, and unmatched natural amenities.


If they are to be exploited as they should be, they should be Improved as far as possible and then adver­ tised. Publicity, he says, Is the only way to make a business pay, and local government sh ould be regarded as a business.


Mr. Tingle speaks with some authority on the matter, for his father, the late Mr. Robert Tingle, was a mem­ ber of the Town Council and a county magistrate.


BUSINESS CONTACTS


He has probably done as much to attract people to the district, through his bus­ iness contacts, as any other man.


Of course, Frank Tingle is also known for his activities in music.


As “Tengelli”, he led one of the best pre-war dance orchestras in the district, and played for concerts in Blackburn and Manchester.


He attracted a


audience of 4,080 to the King George’s Hall, Blackburn, a record which has still not been broken. And that was a week after Paul Robeson had appeared on the same


r ec ord stage !


At that time Stanley Tudor, the famous organist, was a member of the orchestra.


Mr. Tingle was only 18 when he directed his first dance- band, shortly after leaving Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, where he trained the school band.


He Is also fighting a battle to have Samlesbury Airport re­ opened for civil traffic, and has received a certain amount of support from Accrington and Blackburn Corporations.


These schemes come to mind quickly and often, yet he is never discouraged by his kicking against the pricks. He is always looking round for some new thing.


All I can do Is wish him, sincerely, every success.
