church is quite similar in size, and number of people in the congregation,I-to the one she’s been-in at Shaw. “ I'like my new church very much,” she told an Advertiser and Times reporter.


Mrs. Hendry is replacing


the Rev. Alan Gaunt, who took - up- an - appointment--at Christ Church, Keighley.


Mr. Gaunt, aged 30, left


Cli t h e r o e Congregational Church in August after seven years in Clitheroe.


After a period of almost six months without a minister,


.C l i t h e r o e Congregational Church is glad of Mrs. Hen­ dry’s arrival/and is fortunate in its choice of such an experi­ enced, person to- fill the vacancy.

■ Sally; Anne, near Coventry, is to leave England on a journey which will take her to Canada, via the North Pole.


‘‘The farthest'we’ve ever been is to the Isle of Man where I met my husband on holi­ day,” Eileen admitted. So this trip will be a memor­ able experience for all of them.


On February 9th they will fly from Manchester to Van-' couver City, then they will travel to Victoria, Van­ couver Island, where they


' will live with a Clitheroe; person, Eileen’s aunt, Mrs. Stella Jones.


As yet, Colin, who is an experimental engineer for Jaguar, has no job in Canada, but wi t h his Higher National certificate it should be easy for him to get a good job.


Eileen worked for Cook and Smith Insurance Brokers, Clitheroe, for six years, then she worked, for nine months in the Wellgale doctor’s surgery.


When Eileen married, she did not change her name. After her marriage she went to live near Colin’s home town, in Coventry.


At the moment Eileen is stay­ ing with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Jones, of Henthorn Road, Clitheroe. Mr. Jones plays cricket with Clitheroe second eleven and occasionally with the first team.


“We’ll live with my aunt then look round for an apartment, and if we like it there we’ll buy a house: if we don’t we’ll come back,” Eileen stated to an Adver­ tiser and Times reporter.


She has mixed feelings about leaving, for she will be sorry to leave her friends but glad to live in a warmer climate.

scrambling enthusiast, and her three children, spent a quiet Christmas at their small terraced house in Clitheroe, when they should have been basking in the sun on board a modem liner, the Edinburgh . Castle, on their way to South Africa. Delays in getting some ot


the necessary papers from the Embassy and the risk involved because ot the Rhodesian crisis; have caused them to postpone their trip for another month.
