____________ & - Alderman E. Crossley, a
Ministry causin chaos says butcher
A Ministry of Agriculture ruling, arising out of fool and mouth
regulations is causing chaos, says a leading Cl illicroc butcher. In an interview with an Advertiser and Times reporter, Mr. w • Harrison, a partner
in the family firm of Messrs. W. Harrison and Sons, butchers, of King Street, Clith- croe, says he fails to understand why the Ministry of Agriculture is so insistent on rigidly separating affected areas, thus preventing the movement of livestock from one to another, in cases where the animals arc going for immediate slaughter. He pointed out that, after the Fcniscowlcs outbreak, the
infected area was extended to include Clitheroc. But, before this, Clitheroc was also included in the West Riding infected area. Clitheroe was, therefore, included in two infected areas, both of which were being treated as separate units, with no movement of livestock permitted between the two. Clitheroc Auction Mart

Blackburn-and Burnley. " I can’t understand why
the Ministry sticks so rigidly to this idea that livestock cannot be moved from one in
fected area to another, when they are going for immediate slaughter,” Mr. Harrison com mented. And he stressed that large
numbers of cattle ancl sheep from the West Riding district could not be marketed because ol the regulations now in lorce.

one local farmer, pact of whose land was divided by a road that formed the boundary between an inlectcd and a non- infected area. The farmer was not permitted to transfer rams from a field at one side of the road to run with the sheep which were in a field at the other side.
And he instanced the case of
that livestock should be slaugh tered as soon as its flesh was ripe for the butcher's shop. Feeding the animal beyond ils peak, or leaving it to graze on grass, deficient of nutriment during the winter months, equally brought about a deteri oration in the carcase.
Mr. Harrison also stressed Sheep, and other livestock,

BREATHALYSER FEAR AFFECTS WORK GANG
Parlly as a result of. the fears of workmen who drive
vehicles that they might be held up by the Police under the new breathalyser test regulations, important changes have had to be made in the working system of Counly Council
Highways employees. The story came to light when the Advertiser and Times
investigated a complaint made in a letter to the Editor by :i Whaliey ratepayer.
The letter said: “On Wed
nesday, November 29, at 11-30 p.m., the lights were full on at the Highways Authority’s depot in Riddings Lane, Whaliey, which I take to mean that the Council men were standing by for an cmcr- cncy such as fog, frost, icy
roads, etc. On this particular night
the weather was mild with clear skies, and the forecast was good, no frost warning etc.
“Will someone in authority
please explain the reason for this? Wc. as ratepayers, are asking WHY, and await, with interest, to know the reason.”
In view of the query raised,
the Editor felt it was only proper that the matter should be investigated.
A spokesman fo r the
duced. Primarily, this is to give a better service, as men are always available on stand-by and, in case of emergency, the Police can contact the Wlialley dep ot and get immediate action. The depot serves the whole of Clitheroe Rural area and Burnley and Blackburn Rural Areas.
