Village school’s future still undecided


rr.HE future of Read Con- -*• gregational School, which


had only eleven pupils on the roll at the beginning of the school year, has not yet been decided.


Under the Development


Plan, the school was due to be discontinued and Read C. of E. School was to be extended as a four class infant and junior school, but now the General P u r p o s e s Sub­ committee of Lancashire Edu­ cation Committee has decided a further report should be submitted.


They also want t h e


Divisional Education Execu­ tive to explain their view that Read C. of E. School will not accommodate children from the Congregational School.


AN ASSURANCE The managers of the Con­


gregational School were given an assurance when the Development Plan was drawn up that if any parents of children would be conveyed to county schools in Padiham.


The Divisional Executive


later considered the position and decided to review the situation in 1962 because they were reluctant to recommend the closure of the school un­ less there was good alterna- live accommodation.

Jean Miller Reports


More women s clubs: One has babysitters


ORGANISATIONS for women are flourishing, particularly w in the Clitheroe district, and this week I have been hearing about the activities of some of the newer ones.


Two young wives groups, for


instance, have become welk. | established since they started three months ago, the group at Clitheroe Wesley Church having about 14 members and the one at Whailey Methodist Church between 12 and 18.


Meetings at Wesley, held


every Tuesday afternoon, are timed so that mothers can collect their children from school, while another great help to any organisation whose members have young children is provided by other women in the church.


They look after children of


under school age for about an hour and a half so that their mums can attend the meeL- ings.


Mrs. Isobel Kendrew, wife of


the Rev. G. B. Kendrew, Methodist minister at Whalley and president of the Whalley group, tells me the group is run on the lines of the Wesley Guild, with Christian service, devotional, c u l t u r a l and social activities.


A variety of talks, dis­


cussions a n d illustrated lectures have so far dealt with these subjects and the gir.Vr/ is, says Mrs. Kendrew, a very happy one.


“We have broken away from


the tradition of church meet­ ings a little though, because we do not start with a hymn, a prayer and then another


hymn before the speaker is introduced,” she says. "Some speakers And this a


little off-putting, but all the same it seems to be working. We end with a short epilogue, usually conducted by myself,

The choral group sang four


songs. These included “Sweet Day, so cool” (Edward Bairs- tow), which they sang music­ ally and with expression, and the madrigal " April is in my Mistress F a c e ” (Thomas Morley), concluding the ir second appearance with “Old Dick Fisherman” (Blower) of which they gave a neatly controlled performance.


The tenor (Mr. E. Smith)


sang “Where’er you walk” (Handel) and “Killarney” (Balfe), and as an additional


item the popular “The Plough- boy,” arranged for voice and piano by Benjamin Britten.


“SEA FEVER” Mr. R. Aspin (bass) opened


with John Ireland’s ever popular “Sea Fever,” and later


sang Vaughan Williams’ well known “Linden Lea,” adding an extra song "The Magic of Thy Presence” (R. Quilter).


The outstanding items of


the evening were the oboe- solo “Rondo” (from an organ voluntary) by John Stanley, played by Miss Vivien Crossley, who was then joined by her sister, Miss Hazel Crossley, playing the violin, in a move­ ment from Vivaldi concerto, which was magnificently per­ formed. Later, Miss Hazel Crossley played "Album Leaf” (Bowen) with great ex­ pression. The Vicar, the Rev. A. F.


Clark, thanked Mr. and Mrs. Crossley, who had done so much to prepare the concert. He also thanked the choir and orchestra for their singing and the -members of the Townsend Members’ Fellow­ ship for arranging the concert.

W. W. BARRIE RAIL SERVICE


JN your issue of Friday. I was reading the report of the


inquiry concerning the proposal to close the local railway line to passenger traffic, and I noticed that Lord Clitheroe, in his state­ ment, said, " That if the proposal were accepted it would mean that there would be no rail passenger service for about 184 square miles of country."


the public understood what a big area 184 square miles is. However, I wrote down 16 townships or villages and then I looked up the number of acres covered by each, I got a shock to find that out of the 16 I had picked out, Bolton-bv- Bowland -was the largest.


It made me wonder if


Clitheroe was No. 8, and Chat- burn was the smallest. But here is my list:


Newton came second, whereas


1— Bolton-by-Bowland 5941 acres 2— New:on ................. 5869 3— Chipping . 5634 4— Slaidburn ............. 5182 5— Bashall Eaves___ 3806 6— Grindleton . 3776 7— Rimington ........ 3080 8— Clitheroe .............. 2381 9— Downham ............. 2300


10— Twiston ................ 2072 11— West Bradford ... 1954 12— Pendleton ............. 1923 13— Whalley ................ 1603 14— Mearley ................ 1509 15— Worston ............... 1087 16— Chatburn ............. 894


Total 49011 acres


acres, therefore the 16 townships named cover approx. 764 square miles, which is only just over one-


third of the country that this rail service of ours covers.
