the lower reaches and when the rest of the valley was bathed in sunshine the clay fields were inevitably covered with a damp, impenetrable *o?. The place was an abso­ lute death trap! The value of adjacent pro­

Ready for metric


all change What will happen when


Clitheroe goes meitric? From all accounts it would seem tta; shop-keepers and traders in tihe town are well-prepared for D-Day—1971. Tile transi­ tion from pinitg Lo litres and from inches to millimetres will also be smooth, say Clitheroe traders. Trie change-over is coming slowly, but it is happening all


the time. One Clitheroe trader was


surprised recently when a weights and measures official visited his carpet and uphol­ stery shop and said that he would have to get a new tape measure. Shoppers in tire town are


already becoming familiar with tire fact that a pint is not just a pint any longer, but also 0.568 litres. A shopkeeper who sells

model aircraft and handicraft items reported that many of the goods were arriving at his shop in 25’s, 50's and 100’s— rather than in dozens and by the gross. Glass will in future be sold


by the millimetre thickness as opposed to its weight per square foot “The old fashioned way of selling it was by weight, such as 32 ounce glass." said Mr. Fred Whiteside, manager of a painting, plumbing and decorating business. "Now this will be four-millimetre glass. We are having to re-mark all our pigeon holes for plumbing fittings. “It will ail take a lot of


getting used to”, he added. Mrs. Dora Davidson, mana­


geress of a town-centre hard­ ware store agreed. “I think the changeover will be diffi­ cult for us and the customers,” she said. “All our machines are ready and the price labels are written in both figures”.


Consciences stirred by Cancer


Research A report in the "Advertiser


*oton of hhe NFU. . The meeting was held at tihe “Om


and Times” that Clitheroe pro­ vided no voluntary helpers for the Cancer Research Campaign prompted a number' of people in the area to form a committee and groups of volunteers in the town.


'This statement obviously disturbed a lew consciences— including my own!" said Mr. D. J. Stanley, of Chatburn Road, Clitheroe, one of the organisers of the new charity-bid- in the town, which will soon be telling the public on how best to help. Offers to help began to pour


.


in when it was learned that Clitheroe was without a cam- paign organisation. More than 50 volunteers met


the secretary of the Blackburn and District Committee of the Cancer Research Campaign— Mr. D. M. Fryer. Four groups of volunteers were formed and specific areas were then .allo­ cated to each individual. In this way it is hoped that complete coverage of the borough can


be achieved. Every . resident of Clitheroe


should shortly be receiving a visit from one of the volunteers with a request to accept a col­ lecting box in their home. In this way administration ^ costs can be cut to the minimum,


says Mr. Stanley. • If every . household In the


borough gave twopence a week it is expected that the annual target of £1,500 could


achieved.

who is the Clitheroe Rural Council surveyor, the bride wore an empire-lino dress of white satin with lace trim­ mings and a long veil with a matching headdress. She car­ ried a bouquet of pink roses, lily of the valley, alstromerie and gladioli. She was attended by her

for the County Council quiet­ ly refuted all the allegations. The County, too, produced


their witnesses. If the opposi­ tion called an expert to sup­ port their case, the County retaliated by summoning even bigger experts to contradict them and, ultimately, after days of strenuous claim nd


counter claim, they, won their- case.


The hospital was built.'-. What a blessing to .the dis­


trict, and to ; thousands of h ome s throughout the county,- it has proved. In World War I it became


the biggest military hospital in the country and 67,000 Bri­ tish and allied wounded were admitted there for treatment. In World ’ War H many


hundreds of- military sick and wounded were .restored to health and vitality and in the intervening years it became one of ..the largest and most advanced hospitals catering for the mentally handicapped in the whole of the country. Today, over 900 men and


women find ' employment there, the annual budget ap­ proaches £11 million—much of which is spent in this district—and almost


2,000


handicapped children and adults receive skilled, affec­ tionate care and treatment. It became one of the larg­


est employers of labour in the district and when, one by one, local cotton mills closed their doors, it was to Calder­ stones hospital that many former operatives came to find regular employment. Calling on th e British


‘genius for understatement’ Lancashire can, I think, be reasonably pleased that, in July, 1905. the Commissioners appointed decided that, des­ pite the many objections so eloquently stated, a hospital lor the mentally afflicted should be built on the pleas­ ant heath our fathers knew as Whalley Moor.
