MANUAL workers employed by Clitheroe Corporation recei­ ved a “bouquet” when the Town Council met on Tuesday. Referring to the settlement


of the national wagewage-dls pute, Aid. Clifford Chatbum said that cne remembered the pictures of ether towns and cities on television. Clitheroe should be thank­

Moore, agreed, at the same time observing that he thought their action was due to good relations with the council.


IN CLITHEROE, it appeared that an Englishman's home was no longer his castle, Coun. William. Sharpies told town council members on Tuesday. Supported by Coun.
