MODEL FOR


TW E N T Y years ago, Councillor Tom Robin­ son, present Mayor of Clithcroc, bought a model


train set for his daughter in the hope that she might be interested in it. He con­ fessed to the Advertiser and Times this week, that this was really just an excuse to buy a set as he loved to play with one himself.


Inevitably, however, all good things must come to


an end, and after a while it was decided following a


family discussion that the set took up too much room and it was sold.


One can imagine the


Mayor’s surprise, delight and amusement when he renewed acquaintanceship with the train set yester­ day week.

Transfusion team at Clitheroe


The National Blood Transfu­


sion Service from Manchester came to Clitheroe on Saturday for the second of its quarterly


visits. To meet the ever-increasing


requests for blood to save lives, and t0 help patients who need ■blood for other reasons, 187 donors attended the session.


This was a . very good res­


ponse and was greatly apprecia­ ted by Hie head of the Service


at Roby Street, L IS T GROWS


Since donors have been able


to give blood quarterly instead of half-yearly. 107 donors have asked to- be put on the quarterly list. This is of great value, as they now give each year double the amount they gave formerly, and also some­ thing like 90 per cent can be relied upon to attend each


session. Several new donors attended ., . ,


on Saturday and this offset the normal wastage by donors reaching the maximum age, illness, removal and other


reasons. CARDS NOT RETURNED


Many members of the local


panel failed to send in the reply card which is provided. This creates some difficulty in administration as it is essen­ tial to know approximately how (many will attend—the number of staff to come from Manchester is based on the figures known the day before


having given notification it means that people have longer to wait for attention. As many donors have business to attend to and buses to catch it can cause inconvenience. I t would be greatly appreciated if donors would post their reply cards as early as possible after receiving them.


CHANGE IN SERVICE The next sessions will be on


July 8 and will. be the last occasion that a team will come from Manchester. ’ After the July session Lan­


caster will be responsible for the service as a sub-group of Manchester. Dr. Stratton, in charge at


Manchester, sends his best wishes and thanks to all who attended on Saturday.

course, but not with the Mayor’s knowledge. The set was on view in


the new headquarters of Clitheroe Model Railway Society, which the Mayor opened yesterday week. Councillor Robinson said afterwards, “I didn’t think that the set would still be in existence. One of the members must h a v c bought it and the Society set it up here for a bit of devilment. It was a pleasant surprise to sec it again • after all these


years.” Before the official open­


ing of the headquarters, there was a luncheon at the Starkie Arms Hotel, at which the g u e s ts included the editors of two national model railway magazines, Mr. P a u l Towers of the Model Rail­ way News, and Mr. Stephen Straiten, of the

Addyman and Mr. Berry was proposed by George Whittaker. The girl members had a talk


and a demonstration on flower arrangement, given by miss K. Taylor, of Gisbum. She was thanked by Erika Newsam. Supper was provided for club


members and Gordon Wliitwell presided over the business meeting which followed.


DEBATE A recent meeting of the club


in the Parish Church Hall took the form of a debate on the yard and parlour system of keeping cows, against keeping


them in shippons, with pipeline milking. Mr. Roger Green presided


over an attendance of 40 mem­ bers and he introduced Mr. Norman Lund from Rimington who put the case for the yard and parlour system. The case for shippon and pipeline milk­ ing was put by Mr. Harry Tur­ ner from Langho. After Mr. Lund and Mr.


Turner had given their views, members of the audience asked questions and took part the debate. A business meeting followed. G o r d o n Whitwell and


George Whittaker were con­ gratulated on being placed


first and second respectively in the senior section of the Rib­ blesdale Region of Y.F.C.’s hedging competition held at Wrenalls Poultry Farm, Bar­ ton. . Gordon Whitwell was awarded the prize for being the best hedger on the field. Geoffrey Newsam and Paul


Steiger were congratulated on being placed second and fifth respectively in the Lancashire Federation Young Farmer’s Club individual public speaking competition (intermediate sec­ tion) held the previous week. Geoffrey talked about rabbit clearance in Australia and Paul about ski-ing.

The new headquarters


have been'formed by con­ verting three old cottages into one building large enough to accommodate the Society’s portable exhibition. The ' three-storey cot

Castle Street. The work started about


two years ago and has been done by the members themselves. The approxi­ mate cost of the head quarters has been between £300 and £400. The exhibition included


50 engines, 200 waggons, 100 coaches and a main lay-out covering an area of 42 x 25 feet, and among the many attractions was


a large girder bridge. Mr. Blair-Bryan said


the ■exhibifJOIJ'M’as made up (Tom members’ private
