Y\THEN people in Clitheroe ’ ' and district begin their annual holiday to-night, they will be hoping for fine weather. The sun has been elusive this summer, and present indications are not too promising.


Whatever the weather, how­ ever, Clitheronians, with a well-filled holiday purse, will enjoy themselves.


The pressing problems of the present will be forgotten as they relax by the sea or in the country. Some holiday­ makers will be going abroad, another indication of the increasing tendency for


holidays to be taken further and further afield.

The days when most people from the Lancashire towns spent their holidays at west Coast resorts, so that those met with during a stroll along ,the promenade were often the same as those encountered in the local main street, are over.


To-day. the choice of venue is wide. Lancashire people book a holiday in Paris or some other Continental centre with the same unconcern as that displayed by their parents in booking for a week at Blackpool.


A great advantage of a Con­ tinental holiday, of course, is that one is almost certain of finding the sun. Anyone who can do that in this summer that isn’t deserves a good holiday! * # *
