TWO BOTTLENECKS TO BE BY-PASSED


'-jpwo of North East Lanca­ shire's worst bottle-necks


on the A59 route, Whalley and Clitheroe, are to be by­ passed.


The schemes will be part of a


£50m trunk road improvement programme announced by the


Ministry of. Transport—but there is no prospect of an early start


The 2J-mile Whalley scheme


will be the construction of one carriageway of a dual carriage way road. It will run from near the A666 junction (where the Blackburn road joins A59 west of Whalley), swing north of Whalley and rejoin the A59 route beyond Whalley near the Wis well road. It will mean a new bridge over the River Calder where the existing crossing has stood for centuries.


The Clitheroe by-pass will be 4j miles long, and almost a con­


tinuation of the Whalley by-pass It will swing eastwards from


A59 near Barrow Gardens and rejoin the trunk road north of

Wakes Holiday


MEMORABLE occasion in the history of the village of Waddington, half a century ago, is recalled by Mr. John


W. Holgate, of 85, Manchester Road, Haslingden, an old boy of Clitheroe Royal Grammar School and a past president of the Old Clitheronians Association. A former Mayor of Haslingden, Mr. Holgate, in an interest­


ing letter to the “Advertiser and Times", recalls the effects of the outbreak of World War One in Waddington, and tells of the danger facing the villagers of “ going without brass” on the occasion of their annual “Wakes” .


Mr. Holgate writes: “ Just fi,fty years ago the age


the Wesleyan choir at Wadding- ton decided to form a small sav­ ings club which would enable them to have a choir outing the following year without incurring any' financial strain. This was so successful that in the follow­ ing year members of the congre­ gation joined in, and made pro­ visions for their Wakes holidays in August. “ In 1913 the whole village


came into the scheme and, as I had managed the collection for two years, I was pressed to act as collector for the village, Rather light-heartedly I accepted the job on the understanding that my reward would be the interest on the money which was deposited weekly with the York­ shire Penny Bank.


GREW RA P ID LY "The business grew rapidly


and in three months’ time I found myself collecting some­ thing between £12 and £20 a week. As I held a teaching appointment in Rossendak and spent only weekends at my mother’s home in Waddington, the work had to be done on Saturday mornings, come rain, snow or shine.


“ I quickly found that I had


taken on a man-size job, but I Ronnie Hargreaves, of Bellman


Farm, Chatburn Road, Clitheroe, was fined £5 by Clitheroe magis­ trates yesterday for permitting a tractor to be driven by an un­ licensed driver and £2 for per­

INCREASED DEMAND FOR BRITISH BEEF


COMPETITION by Western European buyers for British beef, which is one of the reasons for the sharp increase in


prices for fat cattle ‘here in the last few months, seems likely to continue.


The market for beef on the Continent has expanded con­ siderably in recent years and in Western Germany it has been


forecast that the demand will rise by a further 30 to 40 per cent in file next decade. The Federal Republic's Mini­


stry of Agriculture is-trying to stimulate this branch of produc­ tion but the preponderance of small farms is a serious handi­ cap.


Output of beef is rising in


France, and in fact the French have stated that they aim even­ tually to produce sufficient to meet the import needs of all other Common Market countries, although it may be a long time before they can realise that ambition. Thus it is reasonable to expect


that, unless there Is a marked increase in South American ship-

ments, Germany and some other Western European countries will continue to seek supplies from


Britain for at least some years to come. Many beef producers here fear


that the present boom may result in a severe shortage of cattle for indoor feeding next winter, or at any rate in heavily inflated prices for such animals. Winter fattening on convention­ al lines is expensive, but growing interest is being taken in a new


technique which enables rations to be based to a larger extent on the coarser, and therefore cheaper fodders, A new feed supplement, Rumevite, enables cattle to digest coarse fodders more fully. In trials this supple­ ment, fed as a replacement for grain to cattle on a basic ration of silage and straw, has given superior results. PIG OUTPUT


Pig slaughterings in the Unit­


slightly in 1963 but pork produc­ tion increased by nearly five per cent. For the first three months of this year pork output was about four per cent above the corresponding level for 1963. A Authority's Quarterly Economic Intelligence Summary adds: “A similar situation could well per­ sist throughout most of the year in view of the somewhat higher rate of slaughterings suggested by the forecast figure and the expected strength of the pork market." Over the past two years there


has been a tendency, for imports of pork to decline. This trend, however, seems to be ending, says the summary. Imports during the first quarter of this year were, at 2.990 tons, 21 per cent higher


thas in the comparable period of 1963.

it did—suddenly! I gave the bank notice of repayment required on Friday, August 1st, so that my clients would receive their holi­ day money in time for Wakes week, which started on the 8th. The bank handed me the money on time—four £109 notes, two £19 notes and a few pounds in gold and silver. " I would have to change the


notes into gold on the 4th or 5th and all would be well. But Monday brought declaration of


war, and the free flow of gold was stopped by the immediate closure of the banks. “ I began to see with horror


that my clients would be in for catastrophe unless by s om e means I could get my notes changed. All Monday and Tues­ day I consulted with them about the dilemma, but by Wednesday I was desperate, and in despera­ tion folded my four notes and went to Clitheroe to see if any of my friends there could help. “ My first call was on Mr. Ted


Wilson, one of the sons of Theo Wilson, proprietor of the iron­ mongery business in York Street. The Wilsons were close friends of our family. Ted was. as all older readers will remember, a choice spirit.


HELP AT HAND


“ He heard my tale of woe. served two or three customers,


Street to Edward Chester’s office. He was secretary of the Auction Mart Company, a member of our Wesleyan Church at Wadd­ ington, and a personal friend of mine, so I saw prospects. He pushed his glasses up on his forehead, listened to my story, walked across the room to his safe and returned to his table with several bags of gold which he emptied on to the desk in a shining heap.


“ He counted it out until he


had forty piles of ten pounds each, put away the rest in his safe, and asked me to check it. The notes went into his safe, the gold into my bag. ‘ Weli. Mr. Chester.’ I said, ' I don’t know what to say.’ ‘ Say nothing,' he replied. ‘ I ’m just as pleased to be rid of it as your are to get it. I only wish you had needed twice as much.’


PEOPLE WAITED " I returned to the village in


a much happier state of mind. People were waiting at their doors. All they asked was ‘ Well?’ I paid out the following day to the great relief of the whole village. They did everything but ring the church bells. Indeed, I found myself after the final transaction with seven pounds in hand plus the interest. “ This was the measure of their


relief and delight at being able to have the holiday which appeared to have been lost two days previously. But the gold vanished for good."


and then informed me that he had been ‘ thinking.’ ‘ Four hun­ dred pounds,’ he said. ‘There's no shop in town which can change a hundred pound note just now.' Another customer was served. ‘ Now I've been thinking,' Ted said. ‘ It was auction mart day yesterday. Farmers pay in cash and I'll bet that Edward Chester has more gold in his office than he cares to have. Pop down and see him.’ "S o I ' popped’ down King
