School bill for electricity


causes concern


AN ELECTRICAL engineer had been told to investigate when a school’s electricity bill was more than it should have been, i t was reported at a meeting of Bowland Education Committee on Monday. The chairman, Councillor, R.


Williamson said, “ I am quite concerned about this apparent waste of electricity. I t looks as though there is room for improvement.”


sional Education Officer said that an electricity bill for the past month for the school— Thorneyholme School at Dun- sop Bridge—was £27, whereas the one for Bashall Eaves School, a school of similar size was £11.

ACCENT NEXT WEEK WILL BE ON YOUTH


A FULL programme of events has been arranged by Trinity Youth Club to coincide with National Youth Clubs Week beginning tomorrow.


These events have a two­


fold purpose. Firstly, they are to raise money for both Trinity Club and its parent associations, for without money it is impossible to pro­ vide a comprehensive youth service. Since the disaster in the Welsh village of Aberfan, the organisers have also deci­ ded to send some of the pro­ ceeds to the aid of the stric­ ken villagers. Apart from tile money-raising


aspect,


awaken the people of Clitheroe to the presence of a strong youth body in the town.


the events should


exist to keep its members “off the streets” but it should also help the young people of the town during their leisure time to develop their physical, men­ tal and spiritual capacities to the full, so that they may grow into full maturity both as indi­ viduals and members of society.


Not only does a youth club for Christmas Tomorrow, the Club plans to IN THE STOCKS


erect a set of stocks in the Mar­ ket, to be opened by the Mayor, Coun T. Robinson. Those people who 1 gained some throwing practice at the fair last week­ end will be able to keep in training by slinging various articles at the unfortunate vic­ tim — for which privilege they will pay a. small fee, of course.
