CRIME RATE UP IN CLITHEROE


CRIME is on the increase in Clitheroe. Figures given to the Advertiser and Times this week show that larceny and break-ins until October this year arc up by nearly one third on the whole of last year. A police spokesman said


that in 1965 there were 31 break-ins and 74 larcenies; from January—October this year there was a total of 147 break-ins and larcenies. Other figures are—Whalley

In 1965 there were more tips:


DOORS Always lock all exterior doors


before leaving the house. Don’t rely on simple night latches for outer doors—wherever possible fit a rim or mortice lock of high quality. Make sure back and side doors.- are as secure as those at the front. Pit bolts at the top and bottom.


WINDOWS Be sure all windows are fas­


tened, including fanlights, when you go out. Key-operated win­ dow locks are very effective, ordinary sash and casement fasteners do not give adequate protection. Many thefts occur when the family are occupied in one room. Don’t take chan­ ces, for example when watching television or listening to the radio, even during the daytime. Make sure that any windows which might give easy access to a sneak thief are secure.

MAS ON-ALT HAM Mi-. Anthony Brian Mason,


youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Mason of Preston Rd., Longridge, was married at Mitton Parish Church • on Saturday, his bride being Miss Mavis Altham, youngest daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Altham, of Tile Flat, Colthurst, Waddington. The bride, a hairdresser at


“Marion’s”, of King Street, Clitheroe, was given away by her father and wore a lace sheath dress with guipure lace


trimmings and- a coat falling into a long train. Her coronet headdress seemed a shoulder- length veil and she earned a bouquet of deep pink roses and freesias.


Miss Christine Bowman (bride’s cousin) and Mis Kathryn Jane Slinger (bride’s niece), wore peach satin, ankle-length gowns and the youngest one, Miss Andrea Slinger (bride’s niece) wore a similar dress in turquoise satin. They all wore coronets and carried vanity bags of the same material as their dresses.


The two elder bridesmaids,


Cross, groomsman was Mr. J. Hornby and ushers were Messrs Derek Altham (bride’s brother) and Keith Slinger (bride’s brother-in-law). The ceremony was conducted by the Vicar of Mitton, the Rev. G. A. Parker.


Best man was Mr. Keith

A need for more trees in towns


LANDSCAPE architecture was the subject of an illus­ trated lecture given by Mr. John M. Whalley to the Clitheroe Civic Society on


Monday.: His colour slides showed how


much we have inherited in our rural landscape, from great


land owners—Capability Brown and others—and how the best in British landscape compares favourably with any in the world.


to speculative building and the priority given to the motor vehicle and other economic changes, we have overlooked the necessity of having vital living spaces in our towns. There is a need for planting semi-mature forest trees in pedestrian and open spaces in our m-ban landscape. These trees then reflect the seasons as well as contrasting the contour and texture of their surround­ ings.


In recent years,''however, due

LOCAL WEDDING Mayor’s


Christmas appeal


THE very successful appeal which I made for Aberfan is closing, and I must now make the usual Christmas Appeal for


the Mayor’s Welfare Fund from which, over a period of many years, a little comfort and joy has been brought to those who cannot enjoy Christmas to the full


hospital and welfare homes, and those children, who for various reasons, although well cared for. do no know the full joy of Christmas. I t is, perhaps, not always appreciated that there are calls on the Fund throughout the year for some who are in need of special help.


I refer to those who arc in


have the help of a committee who are in close touch with local conditions and everything possible is done to see that no one in need is overlooked, but if you know of anyone to whom a small gift would mean a great deal please do not hesitate to let me know because I would not like to think that anyone was overlooked.


In administering the Fund I

Donations will be gratefully


that your donations can bring to so many of your less fortu­ nate Ciitheronians by giving as generously as you can. Clitheroe always rises to the occasion when tho need is there.


Please share with me the joy


in wishing you a very happy Christmas and a prosperous

IOLANTHE


ENDED ON A HAPPY NOTE


C L I T H E R O E Parish Church Operatic Society’s presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Iolanthe” was a tremendous success and has


made a reasonable profit- the Rev. A. F. Clark, Vicar of Clitheroe, who is president of the society, told an “Ad­ vertiser and Times” reporter. Mr. . Clark added that


though the audiences were reasonably good,, they could, however, have been bigger, but he was very pleased with the response considering that ' lolanthe” is not an easy production to give.


Among the guests at the


final p erf or ma nce on Saturday were the Mayor and Mayoress, Coun. and Mrs. Tom Robinson, the Bishop of Blackburn, Dr. C. R. Clax- ton, and Mrs. Cla xto n one of his daughters, and his son, Mr. David Claxton. and the Bishop’s Chaplain, Canon Schofield.


There were many presen­


tations back-stage after the final . performance among them being gifts to Mi s s Rosemary Cook, who is to be married tomorrow.


T h e presentations were


made by the Vicar. Mr. Clark, at the end of the


show, on Saturday night, said that the production had con­ tinued the very high stan­ dard set up by the society, and he was very grateful to all who helped in any way, especially to Mr. Tom Bur­ rows. of Burnley, whose ex­ perience of the amateur stage was a great asset.


“The chorus was outstand­


ing, and I would like to thank everybody especially the visi tors from out of town who helped to make the perform­ ance • such a ’ success,” he added.


Our picture shows the


men’s chorus of Earls and Dukes, which was one of the attractive features of the show.
