ARE THE WAKES WEEKS DOOMED?

day morning all week, as they say. But not so dead as it U

Veeks as such, especially dth the decline of the cotton


trade, will become more honoured in the breach than the observance and gradually die a natural death. Out of the tradition of


Wakes Weeks, which seems peculiar to the North of Eng­ land. springs a good deal of controversy. Are they, in fact, a boon or an anachro­ nism in these modern times? To those who stay at

home, they mean a disloca­ tion of routine life, and to the thousands who go away the journey may involve more than usual discomfort and queueing. On the credit side, there is the ability of firms to dispose of their holiday problem at one go, while those who do not observe Wakes Weeks are saddled with a staff problem through­ out the summer1


—and with


the longer holidays people are now given it can even mean a depleted staff for almost the year round. Wakes Weeks, too, allow


families and friends to go away together, an important consideration for many.


A LUXURY But perhaps the economics


of present-day business life will have the final say, and bring the end of the Wakes ■W


eeks. Although a complete


shut down can often give a firm the opportunity it needs to effect a complete overhaul of machinery, many firms speak of the handicap it places on them in the export field, and a complete cessa­ tion of production may be a luxury we can no longer afford in these sternly com­ petitive days. It might be a pity if the


Wakes Weeks died for to anyone with a grain of senti­ ment in his make up, there is something distinctly exciting about them, and a feeling of adventure is stirred by so many people all planning to go away in one great exodus. He would be a dull soul who could not catch some of the enthusiasm, ’whose imagina­ tion is not stirred by the thought of so many people all setting out on their great­ est fortnight of the year to­ gether, to seek rest and re­ cuperation in their own in­ dividual ways. These ways have been


Ism ®


varied indeed. Some have chosen the high spirited pleasures of the funfair and the Golden Mile, and some the good natured comrade­ ship of the holiday camps. Others have sought content­ ment by lakes and streams, or answered the irresistible call of the Highlands or the wild beauty of Snowdonia, while others have preferred the exhilaration of the capi­ tal, or the charm of quaint villages in the Colswolds, Devon and Cornwall.


WIDER HORIZONS But perhaps the greatest ......imiaiijj


change in recent years has been the trend to wider hori­ zons, the fulfilling of the natural desire to see beyond one’s own country. The accents of Clitheroe will have been heard this week on the boulevards of Paris and Nice, and the local bus has been exchanged for a gondola or vaporetto in Venice, a cable car in Switzerland or a chair­ lift in Austria.

has been replaced by a l°ur of the Bernese Oberland or a


visit to the Castles of the Loire or Bavaria. The flight round Blackpool Tower has become a flight tq the Bale­


aric Isles and the trip round the bay has developed into a Mediterranean cruise. Chips and fish have been ousted by spaghetti and goulash and the local brews of ale have

been exchanged for the rich wines of France and the Rhineland, or the dark porter of Ireland.


People have raised their


sights, and what was once regarded as a holiday reser­ ved for the rich has now be­


come a commonplace avail­ able to all. This year, more than ever,


people have really, “ got away from it all,” which is all to the good. Travel, whe­ ther at home or abroad, is one of the greatest teachers, and many will return with the horizon of their interests greatly extended.


But whatever they have


done, however they have found that change which is so essential a part of a holi­ day, we trust they have enjoyed it and will return all the better for it. A holiday well spent can never be re­ garded as an extravagance.

OLD FOLK’S CLUB IS “JUST WONDERFUL”


But more help from townspeople needed


Jf'OR a penny a week, the members of the Pendle Club, Lowergate, have the use of one of the most progressive


and best run-old people’s clubs in the county, and not only club members but the rest of the town is proud of the excel­ lent amenities available to the old folk. But few people realise the large income necessary to run such an organisa­ tion.


The latest appeal appe of the


club is for £2,000 to cover the cost of installing a new cen­ tral heating system in the


club. To cover its heavy expenses,


the club cannot rely on member­ ship subscriptions alone, nor the annual donations from various organisations in the town, so in addition to the many activities held in the club, money raising efforts have to be organised, and outside help is sought.


APPRECIATED


Mr. A. H. Todd, told the Adver­ tiser and Times that although the club raised some money itself, it relied very much on people’s generosity to keep it running.
