Hawk,” showing at the Civic Hall from Monday to Wednes-- day. Madden, who has just returned to his thome- town of Baxter, aids Roan (Rod Lauren), a devil-may-care young lad who has been set upon by.the Sully brothers.. / In retaliation, the brothers

Madden, a fast gun, makes it


known to Sheriff Corey (Rod Cameron) that lie is going after the killers, The sheriff, who has always regarded Madden as a son and once wanted him to deputise for him, tells the out-, law it is not the gunman's duty to track down the killers, but his own.- Madden goes ' after them, anyhow, comes upon them ahead of the sheriff, and kills them, only to be surprised by the pursuing officer. Madden flees from the sheriff, but while doing so is shot iti the arm. Roan finds the wounded out­


SYLVAN SHADE


JOSH ELWOOD writes about the trees in York Street


THE late Joyce Kilmer, the American poetess, likened a tree to a poem, with the tree winning on points^ where beauty is concerned, and who


would disagree with her? One of my favourite avenues


—if-six trees can lay claim to such a title—is York Street,


Clitheroe,' In April, 1916, some young lime trees were planted there by Alderman Whlpp, the then Mayor, and other Councillors.


At the time of their plant­


ing, ' they were inside the Royal Grammar School yard, and no doubt there are quite a few eminent wearers of red, yellow, and blue ties who had reason to bless the foresight of the City Fathers when attempting to escape the wrath of the House Masters! However, after' the first


World War, the school wall was moved back a few feet ns part of a road widening scheme; the trees became a public avenue, and the boys, no doubt, found other escape routes.


The six trees have flourished;


they are now some fifty feet high, and s p r e a d their branches almost to the edge 'of the wide pavement; and for many years now . rooks have built their ragged nests, in the swaying- tops.


A FORUM ' Benches have been placed


beneath • the trees, and this combination of seat and shade has become a forum of senior citizens. Each morning they come from all directions to discuss' the topic of the moment, ranging from Viet-

A MECCA Fine weekends and Bank


Holidays bring a change among those who linger be­ neath the limes. Ribblesdale is still almost completely un­ spoilt, and for many years Clitheroe has been the Mecca of escapees from the terraced, concrete jungles of Blackburn, Bolton and Burnley, and from the bus stop just round the corner from York Street, the green flanks of old Pendle tempt the town dweller- as a mermaid attracts a mariner. In the evening, as the shadows lengthen, back they come along York Street, to put down their knapsacks, -gat •then- remaining sandwiches, and ease off .their heavy, mud- caked boots for a few minutes’ comfort as they wait for their buses home.'
