10 Clitheroe Advertiser mid Times, Friday, December 16,1966 ‘WCKETY CLICK”


Revue is highlight of Calderstones’ .Christmas


WITH the bingo-inspired title of “ Clickety-Click” (The ’66 Revue), (he .annual entertainment ■ at Calderstones Hospital this week has been enthusiastically received by lar ge audiences.'-


In all, six performances of this glittering production will


be given-to patients, and their relatives, staff and friends, and parties from hospitals in the surrounding district and as far away as North Cheshire.


Yesterday’s performance


was attended by the Chair­ man of the Hospital Manage­ ment Committee, Councillor Ernest Holgate and members of the committee and their guests, and when the final curtain comes down tomor­ row afternoon the show-will have been . seen ,by almost 3.000 people. For many years these annual spectacles have been written, produced. and directedby .Mr. Jimmy Fell, Senior Assistant: Chief Male Nurse atv the hospital, and this year Mr. Fell again took charge. •


■' Lavish new scenic and light­


ing effects^ are a feature of the production: over two hundred dresses and costmnes are worn, and the seventeen scintillating scenes follow one another with breathtaking speed.


G R E A T V A R IE T Y Compered with the profes­


sional ease and good humo*r so long associated with the pro­ ducer they reveal an amazing variety of singing. . dancing, acrobatic and musical talent, in scenes ranging from "The Hills and Lakes of Ireland,” to "Swinging London” and the "Old Kent Road.”


Mrs. Mary Vose presents her


"Girl Friends” in an enchanting display of music and movement, and the Male P.T.I. at the hos­ pital. Mr. Tommy Lowe intro­


duces his "Bouncing Bombard­ iers" in an unusual and exciting performance on the trampoline.


Other acts, involving over


forty patients, include “The Can-Can Kids” , "Eddie Cantor Memories”, "Pinky and Perky "Memories of 1914-18” . and "The Lights of Old Aberdeen”.


TH E R A PEU T IC The producer emphasises that


whilst these yearly perform­ ances give considerable pleasure to large numbers of people, they are ' also of great therapeutic value in increasing the self-con­ fidence of patients, teaching them the disciplined team work that a production on this scale involves, and enabling them to display their varied talents un­ der’ the best possible conditions. The entertainment is only one item in the therapeutic, pro­ gramme of the hospital, which continues daily throughout the year-.

Youth and PC fell in struggle


WHEN a police officer asked


a crowd of youths ..to move from Church Street, Clitheroe early on Saturday morning, November 19, one of them'started shouting, obscenities.


This was:stated at .Clitheroe


yesterday week when Robert Ronald.Walker (18), a labourer, of Standen Road, Clitheroe, who pleaded guilty was fined £3 for being drunk and disorderly, £1 for damaging a.window in York Street to the amount o f £1, the property ' of the: borough of Clitheroe; and ordered to pay £1 restitution for the window. Inspector H. Dickinson, prose­


cuting, said that the police were notified late on. Friday night, November 18,' that there was some trouble in Church Street, A police officer went there and saw a crowd of youths. He asked them to leave and some of them did, but - Walker stayed: and urged the other youths to stay. Inspector Dickinson alleged


that Walker shouted that there was only one police officer and that the others should stay. Walker then began to use obscene language. The police officer took Walker


to the police station, but on the way he struggled and they both fell to the ground. At the station, it was noticed


that Walker had a recent cut on his hand. and he said he had broken a window but could not remember where. It was later found to be in the ladie’s toilets, in York Street.

Ask yourself three questions


when buying a 'motoring gift: Will it give the owner addi­ tional safety?; will it make him a better driver?; is it an aid to motoring which he will not only use but find very useful?


If the answer is “yes” to any


one question then you can’t go wildly wrong.

FIVE WAYS TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE


COFFEE MAKING is some­ thing most women feel very strongly about: if they stick to the simple jug method them­ selves, they say there’s abso­ lutely no need for complica­ ted methods; if they’ve got an “ old-faithful” percolator, they’re distrustful of new­ fangled machines; but if they have • modem vacuum or pressure machines, they feel these are bound to be an im­ provement on the old ways. So just what is the best and most infallible way of making


a good cup o f coffee? The answer will probably sur­


prise you; they’re ail as good as each other—including the sim­ plest method of all, the jug method. It”s just a question of personal taste. Provided of course that each machine is used properly. Here’s a quick guide to the


five most common methods of coffee making: check that you’re getting the best coffee out of your machine.


In a jug The Jug Method is-certalhly


the easiest and one of the most efficient ways, of making coffee. Measure coffee into a wanned jug. Add' fresh boiling water, stir vigorously and allow to stand for one minute. Draw the edge of- a spoon across the sur­ face to skim the coffee grounds floating Von top.' Stand for another four minutes then serve with a little hot or cold milk.


Most popular The Porcolator is still by far


the most popular coffee machine either in its onginal or electric form. It’s also one of the most abused—some 'women leave their percolator on for- literally hours and expect to get good coffee from it. Others even expect one basket of coffee to make several brews or add fresh grounds to the old ones— ugh! Fresh coffee for every brew, please. Here’s the way it should be made: measure fresh, cold water'into perculator and place on heat. When water boils, remove from heat. Measure coffee into basket and insert in perculator. Cover, return to heat and allow to per­ colate gently for six to eight minutes. Remove basket and serve.


: Vacuum The Vaouum method is al­


ready popular nn catering estab­ lishment—you’ve probably seen


it in many a cafe or restaurant —and is also,gaining popularity in the home. Measure , the cor­ rect amount of fresh cold water for-your machine into the lower


bowl and place on heat. Place filter in the upper bowl, put in coffee, and when water in the lower bowl is boiling briskly, reduce heat and insert the upper bowl with a slight twist of the wrist to ensure a tight' fit. When the water has risen into the upper bowl (some water will alwaysy remain in the lower bowl), stir thoroughly. In one to three minutes, depending on


grind used—finer grinds require a shorter time—turn off -heat


When all the coffee has been draw into the lower bowl, re­ move upper bowl and serve.


Convenient The Filter method is popular


on the Continent. It’s very easy to do and especially convenient if you want to make just a single cup of coffee.- There are many different types of filter coffee maker on the market, small for individual cups or large for a jug. The quick filter type is ■ among the best. This uses a con-shaped paper filter and has serrated edges to the upper container which allows the water to pass through rap­ idly. Measure coffee into .the filter section—if a filter paper is used,' spread the coffee evenly on the filter paper. Pom: freshly boiling water into the upper container and cover. When Stop­ ping is completed, remove up­ per' section immediately, stir and serve.


Espresso Espresso or pressure machine


is an adaptation of the Italian machines in coffee bars which make ‘cappuclno.’ But the froth comes from the method of heat ing milk so you don’t get it in a home-made brew (a new machine-which will froth your milk Is due on the market soon). Coffee made in these machines

might take the hint and drive more carefully1 ’ Snud-Wats—You can’t afford


the tyre studs but. you know a motorist who always has trouble in snow. Get, him a pair of STEEL snud mats which will help him get away again or up that steep drive o f his. Will do the same in mud or sand!' The mats are about four feet


long and you place them under the wheels to get a grip and attach.them to the rear mud­ guard with string so that they can be retrieved. They fold up for easy stowage in the boot. A new been thought of years ago—and only 27s 6d. a pair.
