"Y| EMBERS of the Clilheroe Liberal Association at their Annual General Meeting held last week felt that the Com­


mittee which was functioning increasingly well should not be changed in the coming election year and Dr. M. D. Parker was re-elected as Chairman and Mr. J. T. Thombcr as Vice-Chair­ man. Mr. R. A. Fulton who had


taken over as secretary in Nov­ ember was elected as secretary and Miss Barbara Scattergood was elected treasurer. Mr. Martin Strange, prospec­


tive Parliamentary Liberal candi­ date, emphasised the effective­ ness of Local Government work on the growth of the Liberal Party, and said that the increase in Liberal councillors from 450 in 1959 to nearly 20,000 at pre­ sent indicated the improvement


in the Liberal position. Mr. Strange urged the Association to make every effort to break through on to the Council, and pointed to the system of elections in Clitheroe causing the party to have no councillors although having over 25 per cent, of the votes cast. Mr. Strange said that he was


quite confident that the Party would provide the non-Socialist radical alternative to the Tories needed in the coming years.
