travel is by boat and on one trip the boat had to be taken up a -Waterfall and through some rapids.

NEW SCHOOL SUGGESTED


AT HIGHER HODDER


A COUNTRY "school” to serve Blackburn may be erected on


a site at the side of Birdie Brow, Higher Hodder. The Education General Pur­

tion that a large hut should be erected on the site. The committee heard from Mr.


D. G. Hartley, Chief Education Officer, of tlie need for such a hut in connection with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme. It would cost about £2,000.


Mr. Hartley added that it was


hoped such a hut would be used for other school purposes as well.


Accommodation wou ld be


needed for 16 pupils and four staff and the hut would probably be used the whole year round, apart from very bad weather.


"I envisage parties of about


20 going out there for field studies.” said Mr. Hartley. Councillor T. Taylor, chair­


man of the Education Com­ mittee, said the matter was a very important one. “We all know of the value of the accom­ modation at Kentmerc, but a hut at Higher Hodder would be of even greater advantage. It could be used every weekend.” At Alderman G. B. Eddie's


suggestion, the c om m i t t e e agreed in principle to further explore the idea when consider­ ing the minor works programme for 1964-5.

ably to blame (or a lack of pace last Wednesday but when principals and chorus became less inhibited in the second half, the opera built up to a splendid climax.


A word of praise must go to


the choruses. Some of their sing­ ing was really outstanding for a young team. The girls were sweet and. the boys put plenty of gusto into tlieir work. Of tlic principals, two really


shone. One was John Pye, as the captain of the ship, who played the role well never show­


ing signs of strain—well, hardly ever.


Diane Hall's singing of Little


Buttercup was sweetly toned— peraps a little too sweet for the role—but it certainly was pleas­ ing. Stewart Burrill showed much


promise in the role of the First Lord of the Admiralty drawing a fine caricature of the pompous


stuffed-shirt. The mam romantic leads play­


ed by Margaret Tipping and Catherine Beer could have had more vocal colour but these are roles professionals have found difficult and one cannot quibble too deeply at their performance. Catherine Beer stepped into


the role at short notice after the girl originally casted had withdrawn and. under the cir­ cumstances. did a fine job. Gordon Tyson brought more


than a lick of sea-salt into the role of Dick Dcadeye. the "Ena Sharpies" of the ship and was

Gisburn request


tHE possibility of providing public conveniences at Gis­


burn is to be explored by Bow- land Rural Council. At a meeting of tire Public


Health Committee on Monday, a letter from Gisburn Parish Coun­ cil pointed out tile need for pub­ lic conveniences in the village. Councillor B. Bentley said that


when Gisburn station closed, the village would be deprived of facilities. There could be objec­ tions. however, from local resi­ dents who would not want public conveniences near their houses.
