COUNTRY DIARY These birds like ‘home comforts’!


mHE other day I was on the A fell road just above Waddington when a robin alighted on the wall top. There was nothing unusual about this but after a few seconds it dropped to the roadside where some y°u“ |- sters had deposited an ice­


cream cornet. Evidently this was not the first visit, for immediately on


neckinggat ‘ the cream, until, satisfied, at least for the time being, it flew to the top of the wall and vanished in tne


garden. This set me thinking, and


my thoughts turned to the various kinds of birds which have forced themselves on mankind and, often in the


space of a few years, have completely changed their way of life. They have, as it were, succumbed to the amenities of


civilisation or adapted them selves to a very changed environment.

TSTHEN thousands of these h ‘ noisy creatures take up


residence on a building every nisht, then action has to be taken' But. as a rule, it is to ro effect. They come and go as they please, and much time and money has been spent by various authorities to help


, solve the problem. We have had some exper­


ience of this both locally and in the Hodder Valley. A few years ago, a good sized roost caused trouble at Slaidburn and Newton and again al! sorts of measures were taken to prevent or drive the masses of birds from these planta­


tions. Great damage was done by


the birds roping every branch to find a perch for the night. Trees were disfigured and branches broken by the weight.

AFTER so many years, during A which the town has, amongst other subjects, discussed ameni­ ties, it now seems that the public hall and swimming baths may become a reality.


The Mayor, Councillor W. Sharpies, must be congratulated


on his decision to launch a pub­ lic subscription fund by means of a Mayor's command perform­ ance to be held in April.


Although the enormity of the


project and the financial impli­ cations involved were realised, the encouragement received at our initial discussions and inter­ views with local prominent citi­ zens proved exceedingly gratify­


ing. Clitlicroe can certainly take


. heart in that one need only con- ' sider tha. Downliam, Pendleton, and Gisburn, to name only a few places, have built halls for : themselves.


1 Local organisations have ex- 1 pressed willingness to participate ■ actively in the venture in the role of organisers of events to draw in subscriptions, and will, it is felt, use all the resources which arc available.


: Every organisation should be ! made welcome, and receive all ' ‘.he encouragement possible.


1 There seems little doubt that a town’s entertainment committee, formed from organisations for the sole purpose of arranging regular events, would prove a valuable asset, and a hard work­ ing and active body would certainly help subscriptions to flow into the Mayor's fund.


If a community spirit, similar


to that shown in the places pre­ viously mentioned, manifests it­ self in CUtheroe, then there can be no doubt that the dream so ma n y Clitheronians have


cherished for so long will assuredly materialise in a few


years. ERNEST MACNAUGHTON.
