ROT DANGER AT VILLAGE CHAPEL


T 'H E worshippers til tinollier Methodist Clutpel in the Chtheroe


area have just received a big shock. The (trended cnemv of all older buildings, wet rot. has


been discovered at Slaidburn Methodist Church and Sunday


School. Al least several hundred pounds will be required to pay


for repairs, and ibis is a crippling blow lo a congregation that can boasl no more than 15 mcmbeis. The rot was


discovered |


about a month ago in a wall between the church and the schoolroom. Work is proceeding in


patching the damage hut a thorough, repair will prove


extremely cosily. Mrs. J. Sanderson, wife of the


chapel steward told the Adi c;- liscr and Times this week that church officials would have to find a way of raising the neccs- sarv money. -We are determined dial our


chapel will not go out," she said. '‘Goodness only knows where


we will find the money but all of us are determined to do all we can to keep the flag flying."_ The church has at present 15


members a n d th e regular attenders number about 12 Services are at present being


held in the school. The chapel, which was built


just under 150 years ago is in the Clitheroe Methodist Circuit and comes under the direct supervision of the new Superin­ tendent Minister. the Rev. Ronald jobling.


Despite its small status Slaicl- burn Chapel is rich in Methodist


. ,


tradition. With the passing of the years,


however, it has suffered because families have died off or left the district so that die number of its supporters has diminished con­


siderably. In the old days preachers used


to ride on horseback—sometimes as far as 50 miles tor the return


i iournev—to preach at the chapel i and manv a local preacher full ! Of enthusiasm has walked oyer ' the fells from Clitheroe to Slaitl- burn often in bad weather m order that there should be no break in the continuity of


service.

NEW FARM SAFETY


CAMPAIGN 371ACH venr durina tlir* past


ion mim women ami cDimreM Have been nccidentnlly Wiled on farms in England and Wales.


2/ syven years an average or


Manv thousands more have been seriously injured. To make farms


safe parliament has approved


regulations requiring the safe­ guarding of workplaces, machines and equipment. But many acci­


dents are hue to human error , and it is clear that they will not j be permanently reduced until !


; everyone concerned with faim- I ing becomes more safety con­


scious. Between now and the end ot , ..


the vear, the Ministry is launch­ ing ’a safety campaign under a new symbol which it is hoped > will come to be widely recog- i nised as a constant visual ■ reminder of the need to take ; more care and thereby proven, j


l accidents. In a written reply in the 1 A j


House of Commons, the Parlia­ mentary Secretary, Mr. J. Scott- Hopkins. referred to the cam­ paign when he said: *• . . . .wc intend to supplement, our recent intensive efforts in two ways. All farmers will shortly receive irom us a booklet winch sets out all the current safctly regulations in convenient form- Also we have introduced a new safety symbol which. T hope, will be widely used and serve as a constant visual reminder of the need to prevent accidents on the larms. I t will appear on the guards of machines to be displayed at the Simtli- fiekt Show and at many future agricultural shows and demon­ strations. We are. of course, continually looking lor new wavs of reducing these accidents anil 1 hope these two latest efforts will make a valuable con­


tribution." I
