DEER CAN STILL BE SEEN IN HODDER


AND RIBBLE VALLEYS


ONE of the greatest and indeed most satisfying factors in life is that of being able to share your pleasure with others. This 1 feel gives one the most recompense and it


certainly adds to the flame of enthusiasm in each and everyone.


But unfortunately no mat­


ter how good your intentions such a course is not always possible or. for that matter, advisable. By this. I mean it is quite easy to bring about disaster by being too anxious to tell where or how to find a certain plant or animal rare to our district.


For as we have lound to


our sorrow many people are not in the least concerned with preservation and conse­ quently in this age of dimini­ shing amenities it would be disastrous to give the exact whereabouts of the very things which attract and pro­


vide pleasure. A case in point is that of

unfortunate in spite of being SO pleasing to the eve that the deer are not in the least con­ cerned with our admiring glances. On the contrary they arc only concerned in avoiding humans whenever they venture in their territory. It is all quite understandable for whenever they have shown conlidencc it has been exploited and their numbers sadly reduced.

and purposes a sitting target. However, a few remained but never since that tiriie has it been possible for one to get within reasonable distance and never do those remaining, ever pasture in the open as fhey did previously. Others have, thank goodness, been more fortunate, and being adaptable have ex­ tended their territory to the Hodder Valley. Several have found more seclusion in nearby cloughs and woods by Ribble where more tolerant farmers look upon them as a pleasure- able addition to their lands. And as you will understand why it is so necessary to retain some •sort of secrecy regarding actual whereabouts, which is all very frustrating and disappointing especially as I am repeatedly being asked for details of our deer. Let us hopo no great in­ convenience will follow a vague outline of their known habit­ ants. The longer established of them must surely be in the Gisburn area where a small herd has tenaciously held its own since they were first intro­ duced to Ribblesdalc. Down river, by Bolton-by-BoWland, has also been a regular haunt but since the increased activity by the site of the now demolished Bolton Hall much of that. ter­ ritory has lost its previous apiieal. Consequently they have moved to nearby Cloughs and have, it is interesting to note, enjoyed that. degree of seclu­ sion they so desire. Others, fol­ lowing tlie disturbance moved about ten years ago to the Upper Hodder in which territory they are as difficult to find as the proverbial needle in the haystack. Others in very small

ROYAL POST'


Master of tlie Buckhounds to Queen Victoria, then founded the Ribblesdale hounds for deer hunting and' it was because of this that the deer were in the first place brought to the Gis- burn area. Several batches of deer were brought and released much to lire consternation of the farmers who at once protes­ ted at having deer on their land. After a series of meetings cal­ led by Lord Ribblesdale and Mr. Tom Garnett of Waddow to which farmers were invited over a large area, better understand­ ing was reached and the deer hunting remained. And so, in consequence we in 1967 are still able to see deer by Ribble and Hodder. Tlie descendants of the animals imported at the begin­ ning of the century are still with us and it is to the late Lord Ribblesdale we may offer our thanks for what is after all one of our most noble and greatest amenities.

IMPRESSIVE CONCERT BY STRING QUARTET


CLITHEROE Mus ic Club’s third concert of the season was given in Clitheroe Girls’ Gram­ mar School by the Psalli String Quartet — Christopher Hirons and Raymond Temple (violins). Dorothy Wood (viola and Ian Bewley (celloi. The quartet chose an attrac­


tive programme of three works, first of all a string quartet in G minor (Opus 4. No. 2> by


Louis Sphor who lived from 1784 -to 1859. He was a composer and a violinist, showing his in­


strumental playing talent and ability to compose at an early


age. The work is in four move­


ments. and although in no way highly original is extremely


pleasant. The remaining two works are


well known -to all lovers of string


quartet concerts. First the Beethoven in D Major Opus 18, No 3. Portions of tlie work call


for rumbustious playing and this was certainly achieved by the performers.


The final work of the con­ cert was Schubert’s Quartet in


D Minor known as the "Death and the Maiden” Quartet. The work takes its title from -the 2nd movement, which is in the

Schubert’s songs appears in tlie finale.

These vans thrive on low-cost petrol


Bedford 6 and 8 cwt. vans give a twofold saving: more m p.g. on the cheapest fuel. ‘MotorTransport said in the road test report. "Fuel economy on open road work up to 40 m.p.h. Is another of the Bedford van’s strong points. I recorded a figure of nearly 49 m .p l­ under these conditions. I doubt whether any comparable van


wouffi do as well. This was obtained on regular grade petrol. We will gladly prove Bedford economy on your own work over


your usual routes, .
