1 il COUNTRY DIA


DALE HEAD SCHEME INCREASED VARIETY OF


THE threat to the country­ side by what appears to be a


■ never-ending demand for more water will always be with us, judging by . reccur- ing'proposals to flood this or that valley in order to supply industry or communities with


this very precious commodity. Just recently we have had a


very heated controversy con­ cerning a suggestion to flood part of Teesdale and the upper Kibble Watershed. C o n s e ­ quently, those who ara worried about the preservation of flora and fauna and general ameni­ ties are constantly engaged in a struggle, to protect and preserve what they consider rare and unique and of equal value to the community. T h e fight fo r preservation


o f amenities will, under our system' of political economy, a t all times be difficult and the re will be many who, in face’- of overwhelming odds, w ill consider it all a mere waste of time. However, they may take heart


for, as history shows, it is the minority and the pioneers Who serve ■ the community best. Areas of unique beauty with


• rare plants and animal l 2 will always demand preserva­ tion and to relax our efforts can only lead to disaster for all too soon, unless we realise tire value of these tilings we shall see most of our countryside c o v e r e d with waterways, schools, concrete dwellings in all shapes and forms with the beauty-starved British • rker seeking to find • relaxation, re­ creation and beauty in foreign climes. It is all quite possible as the


‘ < I


very recent case at Teesdale shows. However the picture not so dismal as one would expect. .There is I find another side to the story which in the case I have in mind, presents a much brighter and uplifting chapter. Let me give you a few details.


Big controversy ■Hi. Some years ago there arose a A '!•" i“ 2


terrible controversy concerning the suggested submerging of what the people in our own district and the Hodder Valley refer to as Dale Head—a delightful valley two or .three miles above Slaidburn. The valley consisting of rich farm­ land with upland grazing and a small community with school, stores, cottages and Church, was renowned for its unique natural beauty and wild adjacent countryside. Then came the building of the dam and slowly the infant Hodder began to submerge the now derelict buildings and farm­


land. The people had left, the Church moved to a spot half a mile away as the rising tide engulfed the valley. And so the tum u lt and the


shouting died down and the protests were forgotten. B it­ te r opposition resigned itself to the fu t ility * it all and th e preservationists retired as th e waters covered an a a w ith a six-mile water-line. At the time it all seemed


revolting and an insult to our so-called concern with natural amenities and beauty.' How­ ever, as we know, time is a wonderful healer and nature, if given the chance will do much to restore and cover the scars left by man. So that now, several decades later, we can look back, examine the position from an entirely different aspect and perhaps pass judg­ ment. What do we find? In view of a natural abhorrence of such I must admit that


(and usually we are. the. first to protest in these cases) this area is now one ot the most beautiful'-and • satisfying places not only in the'North but in Great Britain. Instead ' 1.! destroying, it has. in fact, created a new and natural environment for a fantastic variety .of bird life which, had the scheme-never been under­ taken. ' would not have teen seen within fifty or a hundred miles of the inundated valley.


Not artificial This all really began just


over 2(1 years ago by which time the reservoir had become part oi the surrounding countryside. The general scene had now no sign of artificiality as is so common with other such schemes. Instead t'.e water level blended with the pleasant sloping banks and there was no forbidding harsh­ ness caused by the erection of c o n c r e t e breakwaters. The reservoir merged so completely as to be reminscent of a.Lake­ land Darn But this was just the beginnmg for the waters soon provided food and sojourn lor a host .of visiting waterfowl previously unknown in these parts. I recall spotting the first pair of nesting great crested grebes and, the result-


NIGHT HIKE FOR SCOUTS


A TEAM of scouts consisting of Bernard Mercer. Philip Bam- ford, John Law, Roger Black­ burn and Robin Davies repre­ sented Clitheroe District Senior Troop in a night hike and wide game organised by the 6th Burnley Scout Troop. The teams assembled at the


headquarters of the 16th Burn­ ley troop on Friday night at about 9-30 p.m. and after being briefed were taken to various points by car and left to find their way across Widdop and Deerplay Moors in the hope that somewhere on the Moors checkpoint would be found. The object of the nocturnal activities was to avoid the other teams. If a team was unfortunate enough to encounter another team five points were awarded to the team that could throw a two­ penny banger at the other team quickest. After a very cold night of


marching on compass bearings and looking for rockets which were fired from the checkpoints at 10-minute intervals, the scouts arrived at the finish near Dunnockshaw where an open- air wood fire and hot soup were waiting. The total points were counted


up and the Clitheroe team was placed third in a very close result. "


Forgot to buy


pig licence An oversight by a Chipping


fanner .when he • started chat­ ting to a friend and forgot to buy a licence to move ten pigs


he had just bought resulted in a - £4 fine for-him at Gisburn on Monday. He was John Stott (35) of


Rosegate Farm. Stott, who bought the pigs


from a naturalist’s standpoint it for me.’’


at Gisburn: Auction Mart, told the magistrates: “I just forgot to get one. I have been buying pigs for years at Gisburn and Preston. I met a mate and star­ ted chatting to him, and clean forgot the licence “I didn't do it for any mis­ chief. there was no benefit m


ing controversy - and. denials.Ly, some old, naturalists. _ ....... • Then in. winter we. foui. I


packs of- wigeon, goosanders,' teal, mallard, pockard and the odd merganser,, In ; Decemb-: and J a n u a r y came ' the: whoopers and Bewick sivars from, tlie far North.


", " And as my records o\v the


odd vagrant—the white fronted goose, black throated div.- ■, long tailed duck, black necked grebe, tufted scaup, and the delightful golden-eye. These and many others from Iceland, Russia and Scandinavia would never be seen in the neighbour­ hood were it not for the reser­ voir. At one period some IS years ago the bird ■ vatcher had to journey to Scotland in order to see the nesting of- such divers as the red breasted merganser. Now ■ due to this man-made waterway they have successfully nested in t’. : vicinity during the last five years. Others also, which for obvious reason mnot be itemised owing to the cravings of collectors, spend a g r - 't deal of time in and around these waters. Then, they too, finding the place attractive, are inclined to return in spring to begin nesting.


Makes one think The surrounding area which


forms a very efficient gather­ ing ground also provides a new and now perfectly natural habitat for various passerines and tile large predators of which we can now include the hen-harrier and the dis­ tinguished osprey, a bird which has been a tremendous attrac­ tion in the Highlands where thousands of people from all parts of the world have seen the birds nesting. And so, it all sets one think­


ing and considering these violent changes. When such schemes are suggested natura­ lists, preservationists and country lovers are in the main in violent opposition. But wc are bound to admit, from a pure naturalist’s standpoint the changed scene, as at Dale Head, is often more attractive than previously.

Calf diseases and their prevention


The Clitheroe and Craven


Veterinary Study Group met in tlie Royal Oak Hotel Bentham, on'Monday week to hear a talk by Mr. E. Jagger on “Calf Dis­


eases and' their' Prevention.” There was an attendance of 27 farmers—the largest attendance at any of the meetings so far this winter.


Mr. Jagger, who is in practice


at Bentham, described the var­ ious ailments of calves and what steps should be taken to prevent them. This was followed by a discussion, in which farm­ ers described, their problems and what steps 'they took to try and overcome them. Other farmers and tlie speaker then described how they would tackle these problems. All found that this exchange of information was both interest­ ing and helpful.


At another meeting the


following night in Upper Wharfedale Secondary Modern School, Mr. Leslie, of Skipton. opened a discussion on tlie same subject. His talk was followed by a discussion in which twelve farmers and four veterinary surgeons took part. Mr. Leslie covered the subject


widely and emphasised how im­ portant it was to attend to details. Calf rearing, he said, was not a job that could be done without interest and knowledge. The lively and in­ teresting discussion showed that all had something to leam but that generally tlie stand­ ards were good.


AT SEA DURING ■AN EARTHQUAKE


MR. Peter G. Nicholson, of Riversmcad, G r i n d 1 c t o n, formerly a pupil at Clitheroe RGS, and now Chief Radio


Officer on board a Greek cargo ship, has written to his parents of his experiences during the recent devastating earthquake in Peru. “ It was exactly 16.41 hours


local time, I was trying to take down tlie Greek news from Athens against a mass of inter­ ference when the whole ship started to vibrate badly. I thought that for some reason they were using tlie main engines and rushed out on deck to see why we were moving. The engines were not in iu and the motions of the ship made doors and crockery rattle, exactly the kind of vibration one would expect with the engines at full ahead. I finished the news and went


down to the mess and upon enquiring found there had been an earthquake. Can you imagine how bad such a tremor must have been to rock ar>-' vibrate a 12,000 ton ship so badly? We thought nothing of it and after discussing it I returned to the Radio Room and tuned in the Overseas


Service. Then I heal'd the captain rushing upstairs and as lie passed my door he shouted “ Tidal Wave.” Outside the water was- rushing into tlie bay and the ship was straining at her ropes which were numerous due to the heavy swell on the coast here. Within ,a minute four ropes broke from the stern with noises like cannon fire. The bow, still securely roped to the pier swung back and clouted the heavy weight crane as the water surged back. The sea surged up the pier within a yard of the surface and all the workers made a panic stricken dash for tlie shore. We weighed anchor and


hurriedly made for the open sea away from the turbulence of the bay. The other ship was an old steam “ Liberty ” which takes much longer' than our diesels to get ready for operation, so it had to stay alongside the pier, alternately straining its ropes and crash­ ing into the . pier. I hear there has,been quite a bit of damage to that, ship: though we are now'at anchor away from the harbour 'and. quite safe from any recurrence.’ I t1'was quite an exciting experience, if-.-a bit frightening, 1 but - a ; ship is always the safest place'in an earthquake they say."

LOOKING THROUGH A WHALLEY WINDOW


A century of change


THE PASSING YEARS have seen many changes in our grey old village. Early in .the last century the little stream that meandered down our main street was culverted, the bridge at Town Gate demolished, and the whole concealed ‘neath rounded cobbles, and later tarmacadam. The bridge over the Calder was widened and reinforced,


and our Church yard enclosed, the old turnpike to Clitheroe became a broad highway, and the toll bars ceased to func­ tion. The Railway came to Whalley. As the twentieth century


was bom and grew older Paric Villas obliterated the ancient ropewalk, wheelright’s .shop and smithy’s forge gave way to.bank and ’bus station, -. the trees in our mainstreet were felled as their increasing girth and spread menaced the growing traffic. Flickering gas lamps were


replaced by electricity, and our station—f if ty years ago the busiest place in .th e v il­ lage— closed Its doors _ and shuttered its windows.


The motor car . that in our


childhood was ah object of curiosity a n d amusement


doubled and trebled and multi­ plied its numbers, the trickle of traffic became a constant stream, and the stream a tor­ rent. The semi-detached houses and. the neat bungalows sprang up—over a hundred in a handful of years—and the commuters came to town.

“Rags a bone, rags a bone! Any old rags, any old bones?,” I rose from my desk and glanced down the back lane. As I did so pictures from the past filtered through. my mind—the dis­ hevelled, unshaven old man, his rickety cart, and spavined, shaggy pony. I recalled running out as a
