Schoolgirls impress in religions plays
SENIOR pupils oE Clitheroe Royal Grammar School for Girls presented five o£ the Wakefield Mystery Plays in the school
on Friday and Saturday. . The'plays represent the kind of drama which flomished
towards the end of the fifteenth, century; actors, local tradesmen formed into guilds, would enact ti e complete cycle of the Mystery Plays representing the whole
Biblical story from the Creation to the Last Judgmen . believed that each
cuild was assigned its specific play to perform, the guild of shipwrights enacting the p*Iay

girls were "representative of the spirit of the whole. Beginning, of course, with “ The Creation the audience was transported through time by the plays
“Noah,” part of “The Annuncia tion.” “ The Second Shepherd’s Play” and finally “ The Last
Judgment.” Throughout all the plays the
religious end moral Quality of the theme was dominant, but, from time to time, the mood was interrupted to make way for scenes which seemed to suggest the origin of our modern idea of
farce. This was particularly evident

POT PLANTS AS OFTS CHRISTMAS
ONE of the most delightful presents to give or to receive at Christmaslide is an attractive plant. There is such a wide selection of brilliant houscplants in
ihc shops at this scason l'lat i t 1S rn°re than likely that you will be both giving and receiving such a gift. Another prediction that can be
made is that thousands of these gifts will be dead or dying wilhm a few weeks of them being received. Most of tlie fatalities will result from placing the plants in the wrong temperature, watering them too heavily or giving them insufficient light. The majority of the plants
which will decorate homes over the Festive Season will have been grown in greenhouses with a maximum night temperature of 60 degrees F- Now the tempera ture of your living room will be at' least 10 degrees higher, this in itself being sufficient to cause wilting in some species. More

Most were convinced that,
come what may after the break in the weather the toll on the birds would be enormous.
However it was fortunately not
so bad as we expected and no doubt the kindly actions of many householders, who regularly fed tlie birds, did much to avoid complete disaster.

All this has been recognised by tl ie kingfisher and dipper are restricted to cer
tain areas and are dependant on a narrow range of food only to be found by river or .stream.
So now, alter twelve months,
it is possible to say from a oare- (ul survey that these two speoies are rarer in our neighbourhood than at any time since the disas trous winter of 1947.
Indeed, after widespread en
quiry and observation I have come to the conclusion that the kingfisher and dipper are. almost extinct on our waterways. I do not base my conclusion on a hasty survey nor do I wish to make any spectacular sounding claim. On tlie contrary, my opi nion has been reached over a period of twelve months during which time I have kept a regu lar watch on certain streams and becks known to have been fre quented by these birds. All my findings have pointed to disaster,
NOT ADAPTABLE
Both dipper and kingfisher have, in the past, revealed a
reluctance to adapt themselves to any way of life other than aquatic. Unlike others such as tlie woodpecker which changed its feeding habits and so sur vived, they can only exist on aquatic food This inflexibility has lirouglit disaster to the species. A species which for so many has provided u n t o l d pleasme and thought. Indeed, to be quite honest—the dipper ran ked very high in my estimation, not only as a typical bird of the north but also as one full of individuality and vigour. I have alwnvs admired its numerous qualities and have unfailingly sung its praises.
obituary notioe, for the dipper, in spite of the very bleak outlook, will return to Ribblc and Hoddcr to frequent the fast moving stream as it has done in the past.
But do not treat this as an
ability to overcome wliat now seems impossible. It is this con fidence which I have always had in the bird that lias caused me some concern. I could under stand failure in the kingfisher but the dipper is made of much sterner stuff.
following last whiter when it has survived on our streams under
similar conditions? I have some experience of its ability to over
come obstacles and difficulties when it comes to survival, and in tilts respect my memory takes me back to 1947. Tile scene and time—Holden, near Bolton-by- Bowland. at any time of the day during that notorious winter when after weeks of frost, the brook near Copy Ncok was almost completely covered in ice. A pair of dippers had been fre quenting tlie place for some time and, as tlie weather became colder and the frost increased so did the water freeze. Until after several weeks, it was only free of ice where the water swept rapidly over the gravel.' Tills gave the dipper all the oppor tunity needed and as you stood on the bridge you were afforded a good view of their antics. In order to get at the caddis larvae and similar food they plunged into the rapid flowing water to then disappear under the ice just
Why then the heavy mortality I have every confidence in its
low/ downstream. What then follved no one coil say But con what may, in a minte or so it came tlie dipper tetake a fief rest before once gain repiting the act and cyap- peang beneath the Ice. ■;is successful plan no dubt lined to be tlie salvationof
tlici dippers who had refuseito adet defeat when most of tlar uaral environment was cut II bv:e. Again, all this is all te ms remarkable wh e n * retse tlie dipper is not w( edited for the aquatic life \ ie3S.
