Visitors to the town made no secret of their appreciation o l ______________________


the ambitious programme, provided at such low cost. Clitheroe's reputation for

The boys formed a guard


of honour for the queen and her retinue, followed by the children's fancy dress partide.

there^^s no v a c c in e more e conomical than "Covexin"


competition—her first beauty competition— on the advice of local betiuty C|ucen Mrs. Mavis Smith, of 12 Hall Street. Pat told an Advertiser and


Times reporter. ” 1 was very surprised when 1 won the competition, though now 1 think r shall go on to other local competitions.” Pat was born at Old Lang­

and three sisters, has lived in Billington for 14 years.
