written to Clilhcroe Rural Council’s highways committee about the narrow footpath in King Street by the Dog Inn. When the village is conges­

The letter asks whether it


"It has always been a bad spot and wagons are getting bigger and bigger.’’ The complaint is to be for­

GET UP, GET OUT—AND VOTE! Everyone of our readers who is 18 or over, and who was living here when the present Register of Electors was compiled, last October, has the chance, during this coming weeL’, to say how he wants his rates spent and by whom. In Billington, the chance comes


on Monday; in Clitheroc Rural District Tuesday; in Clitheroe Borough, Thursday; in Bowland Rural District, tomorrow (Satur­


day) week. Dales, times, candidates and—


in (he case of the borough election —policies are all set out on pages 4 and 5 of this week’s Advertiser and Times: no-one can say “I didn’t know.” And, what is more to the point,


no one who fails to vote next week, can have any moral right to


grumble about anything that his council does with his money during the next 1 2 .months. It is sometimes said that


people are just not interested in local government. But they suddenly become


• intensely interested if their dust­ bins are not emptied; their streets are not swept: their street lights don’t work. And this is what local govern­


ment is all about. This year, 18-year-olds have


been able to vote for the first time. After 755 years of straggle, every adult Englishman and woman has a say in the running of his country; his connty; his town: his village; his parish. A fat lot of use it all is, if he


remains glned to his telly. So the message is clear—GET UP, GET OUT—AND VOTE!
