NEW VENTURE ON BUSY ROAD


A NEW filling station on the busy A59 at Chalburn will be


x open tomorrow. Mr. Peter Harrison, assisted by his wife, Joyce and his brother-in-law Mr. Allan Tittcrington arc start­ ing a new venture on the busy Sawlcy Road.


They have established the


new filling station which will give motorists in the area the opportunity oC using the new continental p e t r o l . Total. When Peter Harrison attended


Clithcroe Royal Grammar School he was persistently late, espe­ cially at lunchtime, mainly be- cause he spent every free moment mending punctures at his father's tyre factory depot- next to the tilling station.


While other boys were still


thinking of the career they hoped to take up. Peter was already learning his.


When he left the Grammar he joined his father, Mr. Fred


Harrison, at the tyre depot, and has worked with him ever since, apart from three years service during the second World War with the Royal Engineers.


Peter served in Egypt, Pales­ lindV)


tine and North Africa and specialised in heavy transport maintenance. He was demobbed in 1949 as a Sergeant. He rejoined his father at the


depot providing tyres of every type and description for local farmers, haulage contractors and


quarry firms. The motto of the Harrisons is


that they can provide a tyre for


j l and PHILIPS g j-ni £5 '4 /0 with

anything. The most expensive Peter has


ever sold was to a local quarry , firm recently. Two giant tyres


• 5 ft, Gins, high and 25 ins. in diameter were sold for £450


each. Many years ago when Mr. Fred


Harrison was a saleman on the


road, he sold a dentist a set or tyres in exchange for a set of


teeth. Mr. Harrison said the tyres


had long since worn out, but the teeth were as good as ever. The new station will be open


from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Before deciding to sell Total, Mr. Harri­ son tried the petrol on a 1.000


mile test himself. “ I liked the performance, and


had more miles per gallon than with any other brand, so I feel it is the petrol which many motorists will enjoy using.” Peter, who is 36, and the father


of two small girls, enjoys shoot­ ing on the nearby moors, golf and watching football at Ewood Park, the home of Blackburn


Rovers. His latest venture will mean that he has to take a back seat.

LATE CHAIRMAN KAO “ IDEAL BACKGROUND”


A I EMBERS o f Clithcroe Rural Council stood in


silence at tlic beginning of their rmonthiy meetinS on Monday, in memory of Mr.


James Green, of Whallcy, who was a member ot tnc


Council from 1917 to 19 9- when he retired after -0


years as chairman. Conn. Mrs. J. Troop, who pre­


sided at the meeting, said that the late Mr. Green was on old and valued friend to many mem­


bers of the Council. Mr. Green's love of the


countryside, his mtc‘ cs /!' country pursuits and his si ness ability gave him an ideal background for which to gmcl..


the Council’s policy. “ He loved and knew every


corner ot this district and when the difficult years of « were over, his wise judgement and progressive outlook en­ couraged this Council to begin to put into effect all the schemes held up during the war and to cope with tile problems ot the


post-war years” she said. Mrs. Troop paid tribute to Mr.


Green’s dry wit but said a man of few words who disliked having to make a speech, "hey would remember with affection the manv happy social occasions when Mr. Green was their very


generous and genial host* The Council’s coat of anus and


chairman's beautiful chain of office were also reminder of Mr. Green’s generosity. Both were presented by him. one to mark the Coronation and the othei the 60th anniversary of the Council. When the Queen honoured Mr. Green with the M.B.E. the\ felt it was a fitting recognition of his long, willing and distin­ guished service to the Council.


“We shall remember him as a


wise counsellor and e just, modest and generous friend. ’


Mrs. Trcop concluded. and Mr. R. L. Bloomer, Clitheroc depot manager.________________ ____________.----------------- ---------


NEW PLEA FOR TRAFFIC WARDEN AT BARROW


Y BARROW lady has taken children across the busy rna


tional School every day, the Div told at Whallcy on Tuesday. The Executive decided to


support a retpiest from the managers of llic school for


the provision of warden. Previous requests have not


been successful because of the small number of children cross­ ing the road and the limited amount of traffic at the limes the children cross the road. Cotm. E. Holgate. who is a


manager of the school, said that in addition to seeing her own children safely across tlte road, the Barrow lady was taking on the responsibility of seeing oilier children across, although naturally, she would like this to be done’ by a recognised official. The managers brought the


notice of the Executive to the fact that there were more child­ ren at the school than there
