the club has purchased the ad jacent premises for £1,300 and have received the offer of a £10,000 loan from the brewery, to help pay for their conversion. The committee has, however,
decided to wait until the club is in a healthier financial posi tion before making any further progress on the scheme.

appeared before Bowland magistrates on Monday, on a charge of driving a road
roller without due care and attention. Michael Richard Farnworth,
29, of Selbourne Terrace, Earby, pleaded not guilty.
Mr. J. G. McCandlish,
prosecuting, said Famworth was rolling a piece of asphalt in the centre of Gisburn, when he came out into the road, causing a car coming from Skipton to swerve and collide with another car coming in the opposite direction.
Dr. Ian Bower, the driver of
the car, said he could not see the road roller until it actually came into the road because a group of workmen obscured his view.
He said the roller was work
ing in a small side road, and as he drew level with it, the roller drew out into the main road.
hit me had I not taken evasive action and pulled out," he said.
“I feel sure it would have Farnworth said that he had
asked one of his workmates to control the traffic while he was rolling the asphalt. “As I moved forward. I heard
a bang. At that time I was three feet into the main road. I looked up, saw what had happened, and then stopped.” In answer to Mr. McCand
lish, Famworth agreed that he was entering the mam road without looking.
Mr. J. P. M. Moody, defend
ing, said that the roller, although small, was quite easy to see, and was slow moving. “I f he had been driving a
car, I would say that he was driving without due care and attention, but in these circum stances, I would submit that there is not sufficient evidence to show Mr. Farnworth had driven carelessly," said Mr. Moody. The magistrates decided to dismiss the case.

Kempster, who was present

Eileen Lewis (28), of Barden Lane, Burnley, £10 and licence endorsed for driving without due care and attention; Harold Townsend (43), of Crawthome Crescent, Deighton, Hudders field, £10 and licence endorsed for failing to conform to auto matic traffic signals; Walter Whittaker, (30), of

change for Clarion last Sun day, when after commencing their run in their usual direc tion through Ghatburn, in stead of making the turn left at Sawley R o ad end, they carried on up the hill.
Again for a change, the
wind, instead of saving itself for the more exposed parts of the hill and then blowing against us, pressed against our backs in the most friendly way, making the climb into an en joyable task instead of tile shocking pull it often is. We resorted to ’shanks pony’
only once, on the ‘Coronation’ hill, and then after a pause at the top to remove surplus jer seys we sped on our way to Skipton for ‘elevenses.’ The nine mi ies of road from
Skipton to Keighley were very quiet and as the breeze was still being tolerant, we made very good time. Our venue in Keighley was the Victoria Park to watch the Festival of Cyc ling. We arrived in time, to leam
that the morning professional 45 miles event had been won by .the Mackeson World pro fessional Champion Hugh J'.’orter with his team mates helping to make it a clean sweep, in second and third places. .Unfortunately for us, he then
decided his Continental com mitments came first and left for home, so we would not see the rainbow jersey in action in the afternoon event. The programme started with

Contested The big amateur ovent of the
day was taken in great style by Birmingham RCC rider G. Thomas who in the last of the 30 laps romped away from Danny Horton of Bradford for a well-deserved win. The sprint for third place
was so hotly contested that two riders came off and found themselves still three yards short of the line amidst a pile of ruined wheels, and nursing what would be very sore elbows. The professional event for
the Croad Automatic Trophy showed an entry of 46. It seems to be a rather distressing situ ation nowadays that in these events, at least half the entries fail to’ turn up. I don’t know whether the
fault lies with the riders, sponsors or promoters, hut one day the public will rebel at be ing led up the garden path by big names on an entry sliest who never arrive. In this case 16 riders started.
When (hey did, I must admit they produced an excellent race, with tactics and maohine handling far better than the best of the amateurs. .

VERY POPULAR Hurst Green was once again host to the Clitheroe
Division Liberal Association when a Michaelmas Fa ir, held in the Memorial Hall on Saturday, was opened by the the prospective Liberal Parliamentary Candidate for the
Division, Mrs. Vera MacMillian. Opening the fair, Mrs. Mac
Millan said, “For decades the
Liberal party have earned res pect as the party of Ideas and plain common sense—how often have wc seen our policies adop ted by the other parties? This to us is not enough. No
party with a modicum of self- respect is content to be tlie forcing-house for ideas alone.
“It wants and must strive
for the power to implement those ideas. And this even more so in an age when the disil lusion of the man-in-the-street with politics and politicians is
_ manifest.” She added that people must
be given the opportunity of a greater say in the running of their affairs if their interest in politics would be revived.
“Our claim is to make a start by giving people in this
division the opportunity to vote Liberal at the next election and show that they have faith in our party.
“One of the pre-requisites of
an election campaign is a good organisation, but possibly even
more essential is the money to supplement that organisation
and the raising of some of that B r i d e w o r e
