Robinson, a keen supporter of the Youth Action move­ ment, was present at the


ceremony. Mrs. Robinson and her


ladies’ committee will also help the Voluntary Aid Committee in their appeal when they hold afternoon tea and a tea and cake evening in the Mayor’s Parlour on April 18. Over the past few years


Clitheroe Youth Action Group has organised various fund-raising efforts and donated to many charities. The committee- is particularly pleased with the result of the Christmas competition and would like to thank all those who donated prizes and helped in any way to make the


effort a success. At present the group’s


membership is very low and new members are des­ perately needed. All those interested should contact the secretary, Mrs. Dorothy Geldard, of 30 Lowergatc.

Fisheries and Food urges bee- keepers to ascertain before entering into pollination con­ tracts, whether European foul brood disease has occurred re­

ment of many thousands of bees each year to fruit oiciiaids to assist pollination may be a factor contributing to the spread of the disease^
