RIMINGTON FINED


AN income of £8,600 was the record set up by


Clilhcroe Parish Church in


1963. This works out at roughly


£165 per week, which, says the vicar. Rev. A. F. Clark, was mainly the result of giv­


ing. Structural alterations at the


Parish Church Hall, costing nearly £5.000, which had been budgeted lor two years, meant that the church had to draw on


Its reserves. Despite the fact that a new


curate's house and cottage had been purchased in Church Brow, the church had risen above the heavy expenditure, and had ful­ filled Us obligations to missions and the diocese of Blackburn, to


which £1,000 had been given. The increase in income is


reported to be due to the stew­ ardship campaign, started m


October, 1962. MORE than 50 people have joined the Clitheroe Parish


Church Badminton Club, which has only been formed for a


couple of weeks. Older people wanting to leam


the game have special afternoon sessions on Wednesdays and


Thursdays. » iA PARTY of Liberals from the * A. Clitheroe Division we r e

was also o r d e r e d to pay £7 0s. 6d. doctor’s fee and 10 guineas advocate’s fee. His licence was endorsed. Mr. J. A. Bower, prosecuting,


said that Mr. Thomas S. Pringle, saw Ingham’s car stationary in the middle of the road. He went to the car and found Ingham slumped across the seat with his feet, under the steering wheel. When he touched Ingham s


forehead it was cold. P.C. Singleton and P-C. Darby


were on motor patrol. When they arrived on the scene they found Ingham slumped on the car seat with his right hand


hanging on to the floor. Ingham’s breath smelled or


intoxicating liquor and after he had mumbled something he slumped back on the seat again. At the police station he said he objected on principle to


examination by a doctor. The doctor’s report said he


appeared to treat the whole matter as a joke. The doctor concluded that Ingham was un­ fit to drive through drink or drugs. Tlie examination showed

that Ingham had drunk the equivalent of five and a half pints of beer or 11 single whiskies. Mr. F. Farley, defending, said


that Ingham had been the vic­ tim of mistaken generosity. The child of a family friend had been staying with him and he returned the child to the family


at Twiston. He .had stayed there some


time and had drunk- about five gins, a little more than he would liave drunk in an hotel. On the way home he began to


feel queer and stopped. Mr. Ingham, said Mr. Farley,


was normally a man of tem­ perate habits.


WORSTON WARNING SIGNS


IMPROVED warning signs for traffic are being erected in


Worston, although an earlier bid for a speed limit of 30 m.p.h. had not been recommended, it was reported by the County Division­ al Highways Surveyor, Mr. F. Shields, to Clitheroe Rural Coun


cil on Monday. Whalley Cricket, Bowling and


Tennis Club have been requested to cut back a hedge which has overgrown on to the footpath at


the field boundary. A request has been received


from Alghton, Bailey, and Chaig- lev Parish Council for the resits iiig of the “ Slow.” warnings on the road surface at the approa­ ches to Stonyhurst College gates. The parish council has been


informed that the material for these warnings could not be adequately removed but could be dealt with when the road was due for maintenance in tar-


dressing. Illuminated signs are now in


use at the new limit of the speed restriction area on the Chlpping-


Longridge road. The extended restriction came


into force yesterday week. Repairs have been carried out


to the kerbs and channels on the roads of Chatburn housing


estate. Warning signs have been erect­


ed in Church Brow, Chipping, following the opening of St, Mary’s R.C. Primary School. Repairs have been carried out


to a footpath at the rear of Quality Row, Hurst Green at the request of the Parish Council.


ONE-ARMED BANDIT STOLEN


Missed from Whalley Conser­


vative Club during the weekend —a one-armed bandit. Tire mat­ ter is being investigated by the


police. Members of the club were


playing snooker as usual on Sat­ urday afternoon when the one- armed bandit was in its position opposite the bar. Apparently the club was left


empty for a period between the afternoon nnd evening sessions, and when the steward. Mr. Fran­ cis Newman, returned in the early evening he found the six­ penny one-armed bandit had vanished. It is estimated that the


machine contamed about £16. The machbie could be lifted by one person but carried only with


difficulty. The club is situated in Queen


Street only a few yards from a busy main road where usually plenty of people and traffic are passing at all times of the day.
