However, let me hasten to
add that l fully appreciate the dillicultics in a demo cracy which face those who arc eager to change the
to criticise th an to construct
but \vc mus t all agree th a t some sort of constructive criticism is healthy and vital. Most imoortant is the ques
tion of traffic, a problem which, directly or indirectly, attects most people in Ribble and
Hoddcr Valloys. Evcrvonc will agree the state
of o u r 're ad s both in town and country are inadequate, and, most important to my way of thinking, they are a menace to
existing order. X also realise it is fa r easier
to be concerned about inhaling fumes from burning coal, petro leum oils, or th e du s t from wear of synthetic rubber tyres, road tars. etc. All these interfere with the respiration of living cells and can cause cancer. Obviously the chaos on th e roads is fa r more insidious than most people imagine.

health and limb. They are a danger to th e motorist an d the much-maligncd pedestrian who
is progressively being looked upon as undesirable. They are, as one writer suggests, a sad harassed herd being driven fu r th er and fu r th er to the wall. They arc b e i n g limited to crossings and guarded by rails lo protect them from being slaughtered. All this is a foretaste of the shape of things to conic. So.
the planners get to work and what happens? We h e ar all sorts of talk concerning amenities
economic necessities and diffi culties galore. Wc arc told of the danger of
smoking and its threat to health but why do we not hear so much of tho throat of fumes from car and diesel.
•According to Nobel P r i z e
winner, Dr. Otto Warburg, th e human race h as special reason
town is already cu t in h a lf by a constant stream of vehicles— a danger to heal th, limb, and nerves. An alternative by-pass will reduce th e menace to a degree. But have we overlooked the fa c t th a t when seen from the a ir the pretty town of Clitheroe will be sliced in three by road and rail? Whalley, as everyone knows, is faced with a similar hideous problem. I wonder if, a f te r all th e improvements and planning on th e roads, we shall be in a similar s tate as with our railway. We have lost this amenity an d in exchange have to tolerate more goods traffic, more smoke, noise, an d pollution, than ever before. In o th e r words, we suffer the traffic fo r th e benefit of others beyond Blackburn and Hellifield. Oh th a t wc h ad a planner to tu rn the ra il track from Chatburn to b e y o n d Whalley into a road for heavy goods vehicles. But, I suppose it w o u ld need more th an a Beeching or Marples for this. Concerned ns we arc with all

In recent months, we have
had several oomments on water— its conservation, purity, and offoct on health, not to niontlon all the claims for more and more land for

Stilton has often been described
as Uie King of English Cheeses, but the makers of other varieties would probably dispute this. I t is, however, one of the best known, and. I am told dilficult to manufacture and th a t only en thusiasts make it. I t comes from Melton Mowbray, from Harting- ton in the Dove Valiev and from the Vale of Bclvoir. The White Stilton which is a younger ver sion of the famous Blue, but even so has been made for 100 years, was first, ollered to coach passengers a t ihc Bell Inn.

the Cheddar Gorge since the 16th century bu t nowadays it is also made in Wiltshire an d Dor set and elsewhere. This is the cheese with the delicate taste.

its mild mellow flavour and its colour seems to enhance any cheese board. The cheese is like a millstone in shape and needs to be carefully handled.
Leicester cheese is noted for GOOD FO R C O O K IN G Full details from Tile crumbly and creamy tex
ture of Lancashire cheese makes it one of my favourites for cook
ing. but eaten raw i t is a good one. and Yorkshire's delightful Weiisleydale gives us th a t beauti- Inl cheese of the same name. This lias a honeyed after-taste. I t comes from an old recipe by the Cistercian monks of Jervaulx Abboy. History h as it th a t when
Henry VIII pillaged the property of the monks, they fled, leaving th e precious cheese recipe in the hands of local farmers* wives.
R arer cheese such as the Derby
is mild when young, but develops a fuller flavour as i t matures, and Sage Derby is ra re r still. I t is flavoured with sage leaves and was originally a Christmas cheese bu t is now available all th e year round, an d lastly Dorset Blue Vinny. n o t particularly well known outside th a t county, is
virile and pungent. II often surprises me how
many people pay little regard to the proper storage of food, and yet this is one of the mast im p o r tan t aspects of good kitchen- craft. One of the great dangers we face is th e readiness in which we are inclined to keep food in the most accessible place in the kitchen or pan try with the promise to ourselves th a t we •• will store it away later when wc have the time.” The golden rule is to store
immediately and cheese requires special attention.

However most people will bi; please to h e ar th a t the Fylde Water Board policy is to remain as' before. I t was suggested tlia l the Board's a t t i tu d e concerning the recreational use of its reservoirs may be completely reversed. My long observations have always revealed th e Board's pobev regarding an ything pre
senting a danger to a good water supplv. Was all this to be changed by allowing recreational
facilities? Now th e decision lias been made an d th e long held policy maintained. Surely to open'such areas for recreation is a step in th e wrong direction. Once a reservoir is open for recreation I see there can be no objection to opening up all the gathering grounds for farming. There is a far s tronger argument for this when we arc repeatedly told millions are s tarving and good agricultural decreasing.

FARMERS FIND A SOLUTION TO

'RECENT legislation has spotlighted a subject winch has been something of a dark secret; «r at least, if not secret, some
thing aboul which the less said, the belter. For many years drainage from the
own way oft the premises, sometimes openi >.• whichever titiously, but too often, into a stream or u. way it travelled, it caused p o l lu t io n ._______
Now the Rivers (Prevention
of Pollution) Act of 1961 has made it an offence to con tinue an existing or make a new discharge. Under the Act, tile Boards can require certain minimum standards of purity before they will accept it and farmers must take steps to obtain and maintain these standards or dispose of the farmyard effluent in other ways. Farmyard manure is much
more potent th an human sewage and Its tre a tm en t by conven tional methods is too costly both in installation an d maintainence to be considered as a serious solution.. On tile smaller holding the problem will be to keep the quantity of polluted effluent to the minimum.
Solid manure can be reduced
in volume by drying, and is then easy to handle. I t is the liquid manure which presents the problem, especially when aggravated by rainwater running off open areas fouled by cattle. A first and important s tep is to reduce th e pollution by collecting rainwater from roofs into sepa ra te drains, and even by roofing over some of the open spaces. The water so collected, if unpol luted by manue, can be dis charged s tra ig h t into a water
course. Having disposed of the clean
water, there are a number of wavs of dealing with the solid and liquid manure. Old ways ore often good ways, an d the tradi tional'' cowshed with dungstead and liquid manure collection tank gives a simple answer. The *■ drv cowshed system, as plac a r d in th e U.S.A.. blots up the liquid an d leaves only solid material to be disposed of. Where the subsoil is sufficiently porous, the liquid effluent can often be drained away over th e land in .shallow open channels or field pipes, by way of a .settlement tank. Care should tie taken, how ev e r . to ensure th a t there will be no pollution of springs or drinking water or th a t the effluent will n o t get into land drains which discharge to water courses. For sheer simplicity, the full-covered strawed yard takes some beating — no pipes, no effluent, no discharge. J u s t empty on the land once * 5'car. On the larger mixed holdings.
