From time (o time during the last three or four months there have been various rumours and speculations regarding our waterways and forests and most I am

principle, that reservoirs and catchment areas be opened to the public for recreational purposes and has set up a committee to explore the possibility of such activities,

which must be taken into con­ sideration. We know that our wild life an all its varied forms is on the decrease.

OF WEDGE IN SOCIAL

THE RETENTION of only a counter-service in Clithcroe, When the present depart­ ment of the Ministry of Social Security is re-housed, wiith those from three other towns, at Blackburn next year, is approaching “the thin end of the wedge” thinks Mr. Roland Robinson, secretary of Clitheroe Weavers’ Association. Mr. Robinson represents Clitheroc Trades’ Council on

Some waters do not have the same variety or num­ bers as Stock's. This is why, after over a quarter of a cen­ tury in close contact with the place I am sure the area is unique in this respect. Other stretches of water do not have the same rarities. Records show this waterway to be outstand­ ing chiefly on account of the t rare birds which find sanctuary

Vital threat


naturalists to follow, I am per­ fectly willing to go on any public platform in the presence of the opposition to prove the case or. as some would believe, have it ridiculed. The point is —this place is unique, not only in Ribblesdale or Hodder but in the north of England. In this respect I am not only referring to the waterway but to the surrounding territory new under the control of the Forestry Commission. Although it may be said that all these conifers are "foreign” ‘to our landscape it. must surely be admitted the planting has en­ couraged and given protection to various species of birds and mammals. Indeed. I would say that in these woodlands lies the future of our native wild deer. The Bowland deer can, under the present plan, be assured of a reasonable degree of protection thev could not find anywhere else be it by Kibble or Hodder. To throw this open to the general un­ educated public could only lead to further molestation. Again, under the present
