12 Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, Friday• April 25, 1969


Jim Clayton is club’s new professional


The 1969 cricket'season starts in earnest on Sun­


day when all four local Ribblesdale League sides are involved in their first


games of the campaign. The season is bound to


bring, as usual, a number of surprises, both pleasant and unpleasant as far as playing results go, but everything, points to it being quite a sucessful season for the local clubs.


Shock. Clitheroe Cricket Club has


secured a new professional to replace Brian Cole. He is Jim Clayton, of Todmofden, who was professional for Bamoldswick last season. Clayton, who is a good all-


rounder. has played as a pro­ fessional in Scotland for a number of years. • Last season he took more wickets than anyone in the


C R IC K E T


•league, except Ronnie Wal­ ton, who was with Blackburn Northern, and he also scored more than. 400 runs.


Perhaps something of a


shock to Clitheroe spectators is that 17-year-old Graham Davies, the opening batsman for 1ihe first team, has been elected vice-captain to Simon Westhead.


Davies, who was captain


the league last season after a shaky start, and also reached the semi-finals of the Ramsbottom Cup before being eliminated by Earby.

Strong


The club has two new players,' Tom Barker from


' Bamoldswick, and John Wall- Bank, the latter being the son


of the club’s and the League’s youth team last season, has been invited to go to Old Trafford for trials with the Lancashire Cricket team. Clitheroe finished sixth in


of Wanderers’ regular, Tom Wallbank. Skipper, Keith Weaver,


commented, "We should, not do too badly tills season. The batting was all right last season, but this season, if everything turns out right, we should be strong in all sections.” Whalley, the only local


club without a professional, are again aiming for the top half of the table. Geoff Ireland, the club cap­


tain, said, “It is difficult to guess how we will fare this season, but if .the wickets are softer, we should do better than last season." He added, “I think we will


finish in the top half, and, with a bit of luck, be up with the leaders at the finish."


Players He said he thought Earby


would be challenging for the championship once again. “They are always round


the top of the league, but I don’t think Blackburn North­ ern will do as well, now that they have lost a couple of their best players.” Finally, he spoke about


Whalley not having a profes­ sional, “I don’t think we are


any worse off without a pro­ fessional. but of course to -have one would be a big advantage.” Read keep the same profes­

Organised politics became


anathema to me when, long ago, I came to realise their inevitable tendency -to virtu­ ally disenfranchise the elec­ torate by turning it into narrow channels, not making really good government.


Statistics intrigue me, but


mathematics mesmerise me. They cannol, however, be


wholly ignored in a world


more or less dominated by finance. I thank "One Sixteenth",


for the opportunity.his refer-- ence to me has given to emphasise the point I sought -to make, that it will be a mis­ use of authority and public money if civic finance, includ­ ing surpluses, is frittered away on projects for which subscribers have not given their approval either directly or indirectly. Our council must not dis­


regard the fact that surpluses and reserves are just as much public. funds as finance directly issuing from statu­ torily levied rates. They are accumulations


resulting from levies yielding sums in excess of estimated requirements. To take from one to give to another is a method none other than to rob Peter to pay Paul. Such practices bring one’s


integrity into question and should be religiously avoided. As to his anonimity, I con­


cern myself not so much with the writer as with what is written and its implications. Political chicanery or


jingoism docs not make for the most efficient or satis­ factory government. The electorate should not


be toyed with as discs in a child’s game of tiddleywinks for party or political pur­


poses. We are on the threshold of


another election. Though as a co rp o ra te a u t h o r i t y Clttheroe’s and Ribblesdale's future seems to me to be in the melting -pot, with pros­ pective changes not easy to prognosticate, our burgesses must show nothing like the deplorable apathy of recent years, but with the choice of candidates now available they should approach it with avid -thinking and action.

to score again, but right out of the blue Calderstones equalised when K e n n y headed a centre from Holden into his own net. There was a dramatic end


to the game. Seconds from time Kenny took a free kick w h i c h Atkinson headed against the bar. Just as the referee blew for time, Kenny blasted the rebound into the net and the ‘goal’ " was not counted.

the “Car of the Year” won another award last week, that of the Don Safety Trophy. But according to Lord


Beeching, President of the Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents, who presented the trophy to Sir William Lyons, the Jaguar chief “ too many car buyers think in terms of performance, pres­ tige and polish in choosing a vehicle" Special mention also went


to two other interesting entl'ies. One was a Dennis Brothers ambulance. This is the first to use front wheel drive, thus enabling a low floor to be obtained and greater comfort provided tor


patients. The other, surprisingly, was


the Lotus Elan which the judges specially mentioned


as a high performance car of outstanding primary safety.

lost . . . an aeroplane. Eighteen-year-old .Peter


Rodwell, of Pimlico Road, ■was flying his model, plane f rom the fields near his home on Friday evening.


• The plane, which as bright •yellow, with a 38-inch wing­


span and powered by a small internal-combustion engine, climbed high into a cloud and disappeared. .


Peter heard the engine cut . .


out, and then saw his plane gliding down over Clitheroe.


It seemed to land.- he said, in the Peel Street area. He is most anxious to


recover the plane,; ns he has spent about £9 on it al­ together. Peter’s interest in model


aeroplanes began when he joined the RAF, and he has a number of control-line; stunt flying planes.
