Officials and Town benefit from


{


i conference contacts


AS A co-opted member of the Library Committee I must point out that it was not the Library


Committee but the Finance and General Purposes committee ■which refused permission for


attend the weekend conference at Alston Hall. However one or two members, including myself did voice objections to the no­ conference ruling.


i 3" v t '


larly is not this particular refusal but the blanket ruling that no Council Official should attend any conference. Aider- man Chatburn stated that this was no disadvantage as reports are received of all conferences. I rather doubt that reports are received from all relevant con­ ferences, but even if they are his view is extremely short sighted. Written reports con­ tain only the bones of the for­ mal business of a conference. They cannot possibly convey the shades of meaning made clear by the actual speaker. Any intelligent person who


What distresses me particu­


has attended a conference knows that it is the informal contacts between delegates


which result in the transferor some of the best ideas, in dis-


Committee meeting, an obser­ ver would have only one com-


ment to make: "Small town, small minds".

WAKE UP CL1THEROE


CALL Thank you for your Page-one-


eomment.’ in last week’s ‘‘Adver­ tiser’’. I. too, was surprised to hear


of the L;brary Committee’s decision not to send the Librar­ ian to Alston Hall for a week­ end conference. The wider implications of such a decision are even more

that no formal speech ever did. J 1? ? 0 ,. The function of our Council ?®cia,s havebeen appomted to


Officials is to translate into mlect new life into the Town


action the decisions of our Council members: it is also, by their informed comments, to ensure that such decisions are taken having regard to all rele­ vant information. I include in relevant information new ideas which Council members may not have the specialised know­ ledge to appreciate. If we are to have on up-to-


ing officials to remain enthus­ iastic. we should encourage


advantages incurred from both formal 'and informal discus­ sions with colleagues from other authorities. Clitheroe Is a small town,


them to keep up with new developments and to gain the


date, thriving administration we must have up-to-date offi­ cials (and I am not referring to their age). An important function of our Council mem­ bers is to ensure that their officials do remain up to date. They are failing in-their duty to the citizens of Clitheroe by putting obstacles in the way of easy transfer of information

Hah an dits environment. If we want our up and com­

and many of our officials must surely feel isolated—and they can hardly phone their omiosite number in other authorities to ask if they have the same prob­ lems. Conferences stimulate new


ideas, and give reassurances to officers, for similar situations arise elsewhere. Wake uo clithes-oe! Give our


a particular conference and so T prevent officials from attend- _.fj;

The course will start with the processes that mould the surface of the earth, moving on to evidence of life which it contains. We shall then consider sub­ surface processes as shown by volcanoes; earth­ quakes and the shifting continents. Finally attention will be given to exploitation of ore deposits. There will be at least two full-day field trips, and, it is hoped, one or two sessions of practical work in the Geology Department at Manchester University.
