SIGN TELLS VISITORS; W ADDINGTON IS


BEST-KEPT VILLAGE


TRIBUTES were paid to the villagers of Waddington by the Chairman of the West Riding County Council, Alderman Mrs. Jessie Smith on Saturday. Aid. Smith


was presenting awards to Waddington, which won the “ Best-kept village in the York­ shire Dales” competition, run by the Yorkshire Rural Community Council. She told the 250 people who attended, the ceremony, which was .held next’ to


the Coronation Gardens, “The villagers here must really love their surroundings to be able to work together to make them so attractive.” Alderman Smith continued, “We have quite a lot in


Lancashire and the West Riding that we would like to see changed, and we have quite a long way to go before we can feel the North to be quite as attractive as other parts ot


the country. V/hile we are proud of


our heritage,' we are con­ scious of our own shortcom­ ings. I would support county officers who encourage vil­ lagers and people in small towns to work to make their places more attractive.” .


Aid. Smith called for a


greater effort in the two counties towards beautifying their areas, and said that vil­ lagers all over the county, who spent a great deal of time and trouble to keep their dis­ tricts attractive, ought to be rewarded by the respect of visitors passing through.

Waddington had also been presented with an oak seat, carved and made by Mr. H. W. carter, of Swainby, by the . Dalesman Publishing Com­


pany Ltd. . Aid. Smith presented certifi­


cates to representatives of the villages which were runners-up in the competition—Austwick, Carperby, Healaugh and Thorn­ ton in. Craven..


On behalf of the villagers of


Waddington, Miss A. Bishop presented Aid. Smith with a framed, coloured photograph of the village.
