Conservatives’ dinner at Griridleton
TWENTY-FIVE members of the newly-formed branch of the Young Conservatives at Padi ham attended the first annual dinner at the Duke of York Hotel, Grindleton, on Monday. The branch is the first to be
re-formed in the “Action ’67” recruitment campaign, Mr. W„ A. Butler, Divisional
Agent said:. “It. Is more prae tical, in such a widespread Div ision as Clltheroe, to have bran ches centred on the main areas
of population. These include Padiham, Great Harwood, Long- ridge and Clltheroe. Already Padiham, has a strong Branch and Clitheroe is be ing strengthened. A new branch is being formed in Longridge and a nucleus of members will be meeting shortly in Great Har wood.”
Mr. Philip Lockwood, of Hap-
ton is Divisional Young Con servative Chairman.
TWO BANK ‘SNATCH’ MEN (AILED FOR SIX YEARS, ONE FOR THREE YEARS
FAST CAR “ raids” from London by “ dangerous men” comiiig North to commit crime were
becoming a desperate form of activity and the public must be protected against diem. This comment was made' by Mr. Justice Ashworth at Lancaster Assizes last
night week when he dealt with three men—two from London and one from Bolton— who were alleged to have been involved in a bank snatch from a 20-year-old bank em ployee ai Clitheroe.

of Bolton, of no settled address, was also jailed for six years. He had pleaded guilty to robbery with violence, taking a car
without authority, and stealing property from the car. Keith Charles Bacchus (28), merchant seaman, stated

he had made a distinction in sentence so far as Bacchus was concerned because he had not a really bad record but he 'had been drawn into this crime through bad associates. When he came, out of prison perhaps he'would realise that there was still some truth in the saying “ that crime did not pay.”

Ashworth for his part in the case. Mr, Justice Ashworth said:
“When the trial ended yester day, I had no chance to say anything to you. But I am grateful for your coming today.”

Mr. Justice Ashworth con
tinued: “It is hoped -that your good example is followed by others in future. In the war against crime, the police need and welcome; co-opera tion from the public, and your act was a valuable illus tration of what help the public can give. • “The jury must have re
