CLITHEROE DESCRIBES LIFE IN ICELAND


A VOLCANIC bomb, some fragments of silica, ami a luxuriant, creamy sheepskin are souvenirs which 18-year-old Judith Ann Chadwick of 98, Clialburn Road, Clitheroe, brought back from a geographical expedition in Iceland, the sheepskin being a present for her mother, Mrs. Hdda


Chadwick. Judith, who is reading for an honours degree m geography at the North-Western


Polytechnic in Kentish Town, London, where she returned on Monday, went on the ex­ pedition, lasting slightly more than six weeks, with 12 other students.


For the creater part of this period she was one of a three-member team engaged


on a landscape survey, the others concentrating mainly on the social and. economic aspects of the country, studying the types of farms and the agricultural methods used


on them. Every member has contributed towards the compilation


of a complete report of the work. Equipped with their own


means of transport—a 2-^-ton Army truck and a Post Office trailer— and a large stock of provisions which included dried potato and dried vege­ tables, they made the 2-V-day voyage in calm seas aboard the 3,000-ton Icelandic flag­ ship Gullvoss. On arrival the leader of the

Making the most ©f your central heating


"Tho Englishman's home’ is his castle” still remains true—but


in these days, with the advent of central heating systems which can be readily installed in houses and flats, there is no need for


it to SEEM like one! The idea of keeping com­


fortably warm, in every room if desired, and with the least inconvenience and effort, is now accepted by most Bri­ tish home owners. Indeed, the central heating industry is the fastest-growing of all in


this country. Now that people have become


“central - heating conscious, more and more are taking an increasing interest in the prob­ lem of how to get the


of a .system once it is -installed. How can you ensure that your


°ut


central heating gives maximum comfort and economy? The answer lies in adequate control. If a central heating installation is to run at its maximum effici­ ency, it must operate under an effective control system. Too often we tend to overlook this and feel disgruntled with the performance of the system, find­ ing we have to endure, for example, periods of ‘heady’ over­ heating and alternative phases of chilliness.
