“DON’T INVITE CRIME.” This is the theme again


this year of the National Crime Prevention Campaign mounted by the Home Office in an effort to make the public more aware of the growing .threat of crime in this


country,

(AM ■JRKJ In addition it will show what the public can do j • . ■ :


towards reducing the number of crimes. In 1965 serious crime rose to 1,134,000 and the indications are that it will be higher this year. Ninety per cent of these offences were thefts from persons, premises or cars. The challenge to the public


is "Lock up your property, do not leave your possessions lying around.” This is simple commonsense advice, but advice which, if heeded, would have an impact on crime figures quite out of proportion to the little effort


Children at tiny villaj school win shield


PUPILS of the - tiny ‘village school at Eaythome had one of their proudest moments on Friday when they were, pre­ sented with the Holgate Shield, which they • won. in the annual road safety- quiz competition.


This is the first time that


the trophy has ever been won by Paythorne, and there has been great excitement in the school ever since the pupils heard they were the winners of the competition.


The presentation was made


by the Chairman of Bowland Rural Council, Coun. Ronald Williamson. Receiving the trophy was the young boy with the highest Individual score in the quiz, William Ayton.


Also present was PC; Pea­


cock! Road: Safety Officer for the Settle Division.


Paythome School, ; which


seven years ago was threa­ tened with closure, has only sixteen pupils, and the head­ mistress, Mrs. Wilson; told the Advertiser and Times that she thought it was.quite an achievement for such a small school to do so well in the competition. Certainly the success dis­


pels the idea that only the larger schools in the Bowland area such as Waddington and


Gisburn, could stand any chance of winning the trophy. As well as the Holgate


Shield the school received a book token, with which Mrs.


Wilson obtained the two books seen in the photo­ graph. Paythome school gained


an average mark of 29.1 in the quiz and the runners-up were Gisburn with 25.6. Seen in the photograph


with Coun. Williamson, PC Peacock and Mrs. Wilson are, from left to right: Chris­ tine Newbould, highest indi­ vidual girl’s scorer; Sheila Robinson, Catherine Dins- dale, Robert Peel, Hazel Coates, John Asquith, Judith Dinsdale, Eric Calvert, and William Ayton. The full-results in the com­
