THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS


And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel, And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school.


SHAKESPEARE summed


It up so neatly in his seven ages. But does today’s school­ boy dislike his return to the classroom? We do not expect an answer to this rhetorical question. School is never what it used to be and child­ ren now cannot know how fortunate they are—for they have known nothing differ­ ent.


.Many things have changed,


for the better. It is true we have some old buildings and wen.-out equipment. But the cane is rarely produced, and th.- emphasis is on what the sir tents want. Our educational interests


i ■ ■


are directed by No. 5 Execu­ tive and at a recent meeting in vVhalley they asked for a report on the pros and cons of a two-tier seconday educa­ tion system. This involves children attending a school catering for 11 to 16-year-olds. Parents, with the helpful


advice of teachers, could decide, when their children a r : 13 or 14, whether a move should be made to another school where pupils stay until they are 18 and sit for ad­ vanced level examinations.

Otherwise the ohildren re­ main at their first sohool leaving at 16 to go out to work.


This seems to be a splen­


did system, offering the best of both worlds. Presumably it eliminates


entirely any form entrance test at 11 years of age, but still gives able children the chance to take some "0" levels, even if they do not wish to stay at sohool until they are 18. The important thing is that


children who are destined for universities should pass into the academic streams when they are 13 or 14, and that no one should feel left out. Wo want equal opportunities


for our children, but we must recognise that they are not all fitted for the disciplines of college and university. This does not mean that


they are in any sense fail­ ures. They have gifts which should be encouraged. And now that we are to have a University of the Air the scope for all of us to extend our knowledge r.nd training is both a challenge and a fulfilment.


ALL TOO often we read o f cases where guilty .people are told by the court to “ go home and don’t do it again.” Don’t our magistrates know


the meaning of RESTITU­ TION? X enclose a photo­ graph taken after a shop break-ln. The man climbed on to the roof of a garage, smashed a window and cut himself, entered a room, smashed through a large glass panel in a door and went into the shop itself, leaving a trail of glass and blood. He opened drawers, dam­


aged goods on display and, finding no money, attacked the door shown in the photo­ graph.


and the door Is exactly in the same state as when it was found by the proprietor.


The resultant damage took


four members of the shop staff half a day to clean up.


The shop was closed for


business and three police officers spent half a day there. All this kind of dam­ age, loss of business can be measured in £ s. d. but the worry and concern of the shop proprietor cannot bo measured.


Who is going to pay for


the damage? The victim, or his insurance company?


I see no reason why persons


who are found to have caused damage should not be made to repay the victim and something towards the cost of the court hearing.


and the insuring public are paying; it is time this sys­ tem was radically amended.


At present the ratepayers Our magistrates could help


in the first instance by im­ posing penalties which will act as a deterrent in each and every case, and make orders for restitution. It would do some of our


magistrates good to visit pre­ mises entered by an intruder to see the state of the pre­ mises and the way the owner


is affected. Perhaps our present law


does not grant enough power to courts. X should welcome comments on this and the other points I have raised.— Justice Seeker, Clitheroe, (name and address supplied).


Metric move is nonsense


edition ’Beady for metric change’ Is, to say the least, confusing, implying, as it does, that the metric system will be introduced on D-Day, 1971. What is being changed in February, 1971, is our inter­ nal currency s y s t em. A c h a n g e , incidentally, for ■which no Government has had a mandate and any slight benefit from which can never justify the huge expenditure and confusion involved. If, however, your readers


can be made aware of the Import of the attempts by a small minority to introduce a system of metric measure in 1973, it is certain they will do everything possible to pre­ vent such a change. Our present system of


measurement, like our present currency, evolved over the centuries to meet our needs in the most practical manner. The metric system was in­


troduced by a revolutionary government Interested more in ending French tradition than in assisting its people. It is a system, moreover, which, after nearly two cen­ turies, is ignored by French shoppers and shopkeepers alike because of its impractic­ ability and is not used by the Americans who represent our most profitable visitors. If it were not so serious, it


would be almost laughable that a country in our present parlous financial state should even consider, without ade­ quate reason, the introduction of asystem which will involve the replacement of every .weighing machine,


t a p e


measure, milestone, signpost, beer glass, speedometer, milk bottle, rul-r and road sign based on Imperial Standards. The sooner we wake up to


what is being proposed, the sooner an end can. be made to these quite nonsensical pro­ posals. FLUNA (name and address

A world with


little chance The twitterings of Mr.


Musson suddenly turned to a squawk and all this because someone had the audacity to question his point of view. One could liken his letter to the ‘cock of the midden' nicely strutting around until someone throws something in his way, then there is a great flurry of feather’s and a great deal of noise.


For a writer from whose


pen the ink flows so freely. I am disappointed in his reply to my first letter. It seemed that he was so infuri­ ated he did not bother to answer any of my points.


His guess as to my stand­


ing was totally wrong—Rib- lesdale Avenue indeed, the other end of the rateable values I fear! Finally, if he thinks that I would hide be­ hind anybody’s skirts, I would not be against meeting him to talk things out, shall we say over his glass of stout Saturdoy dinner-time. Whilst understanding Mr.


Mussons outlook, and no one loves this countryside and this town more than I, can you stop progress? It is a good thing we have planning authorities to stop unrestric­ ted despoiling of what is left of nature, but we have our young people.


1 am no longer a young


man, but I admire the young people of today; I like their style and am sure that their good outdoes their bad. But. I don’t envy the efforts they must make to bring up fami­ lies and maintain a decent standard and in this life Mr. Musson's world has little chance. But may I grant you this


■Mr. Musson, at least you are interested in this town; if only there were more. Per­ haps then we would not be saddled with a white elephant like the Civic Hall and a town with no place—and I repeat no place—for the young people. Workman (name and address supplied).


Bricks made


on the site With reference to the


Whalley inconvenience It was decided by members of

in the November, 1964, issue of the hospital Internal News­ letter and I quote verbatim: “Clay from the railway cut­


ting was used in the making of bricks for most of the hospital buildings.The drying sheds (of. which there were three) can still be found under the present coal com­ pound. "According to the enquiry,


it was said that 3$ acres of clay would make 1,000 bricks and that over 20,000,000 bricks were made and used in the- building, of the hospital. The cost in those days was around £1 per 1,000, which was a saving of 10/- to 12/ - per


GAMEKEEPER KEEPS HIS SECRET

River Hodder but dare not disclose their whereabouts in case they are hunted down. Mr. Peter Blbby, of Over


“Once during a recent hunt


they came all the way up the river and I never heard any­ thing about it till the following Monday morning,” said Mr, Peter Bibby, who looks after 1,050 acres for a Liverpool syn­ dicate, near Over Hacking. “I agree with Mr. Rawcliffe,

Egg collection fascination


000 had they been bought


AS MY journey through Sab- den continued and met all sorts of interesting people I soon realised it was impos­ sible to cover the varied aspects in a few hours. So, on the day following, I re­ turned to visit Mr. Jacksonl living not far from the school at 7 Whalley Road.


Our first meeting was fol­


lowing a talk I gave at an open meeting of the W.L and, being aware of my interest in natural history and in particular bird life of the area, he then invited me to call whenever I chanced to be in the vicinity.


Before long conversation


touched on the question of egg collectors and egg col­ lecting. Mr. Jackson has one of the finest collections I have ever seen . The egs were handed down to him by an uncle and as the dates on several clutches reveal, were gathered in 1916 to 1920. Although I have no wish to

;


so distant—when the three cotton mills in Sabden were in full production; now all have ceased, the last being closed but a few weeks ago. Change indeed with one of


the mills producing carpets and the other furniture. Not very long ao there was work in the village for every one, now’ many have to travel far afield.


Two decades A couple of decades past


Sabden had three pubs—The Pendle Witch, The White Hart and the Black Bull. Two remain, the Black Bull now being flats. However, as he said, and


encourage s u c h pastimes which were quite common half a century ago, I must admit to a strange fascina­ tion this gathering had on me as we went through the various species. All are graded according to


size and the upper drawer in the huge cabinet' contains complete clutches of the smal­ ler passerines such as the wren, goldcrest, sparrow, goldfinch and chaffinch. There are also complete


clutches of blackbird, pipets, etc,, each ivith a cuckoo egg.


Prize clutcli In lower drawers are the


eggs of peregrine, sparrow- hawk, red and black grouse, ptarmigan, terns and petrels and so on until we come to the corncrake, golden eye, water-rail grebes such as the great crested and Slavonian; and the golden eye and goosander. The prize I suppose is a


clutch of the osprey and many of th e beautifully marked eggs of the guillemot family. Frankly, despite an aver­


sion, to such activities, I was delighted to have the oppor­ tunity of seeing such a re­ markable and well presented cabinet. Turning along the Clith­


eroe road I soon came to Dawson Fold Farm where Mr. A. Jacques has farmed for 22 years. This meeting with Mr. Jacques certainly provided a surprise for this chance introduction renewed an acquaintance stemming from our school days in Blackburn more than half a century ago. Since that time we have


never met and I need hardly say .the surprise was mutual. It • was therefore, • of parti- ■


cular interest to hear his comments on events and con­ ditions past — and present. He spoke of the time—not


as I was soon to discover, there is still enough of most things for most people. The religious side has four denom­ inations and while residents go further afield for enter­ tainment, plays and socials are a feature. In October, the Play. “The goose as getting fat" will be presented. And. so it came about on


this second day of my reintro­ duction to this charming ■vil­ lage that I met a most remarkable person. One of the most fascinating indivi­ duals I have encountered during a life time spent meet­ ing various humans in these British Isles. Her record is ample proof of this.


Public service So please let me introduce


a person who has unselfishly and without thought of per­ sonal gain, offered her ser­ vice, and indeed much of her life, to serving the public, Miss A. Alston. Not knowing what recep­


tion (if any) awaited me. I had some hesitation in knock­


ing at her door, 42 Whalley


Road. I hastily introduced myself,


intimating my intention, and with a smile she said, ‘Come in'. In less time than it takes to 'write this I realised that Miss Alston was no ordinary person. She is a mine of in­ formation' concerning things old and new in Sabden. Her


vitality and forthrightness are at once apparent and I soon reaised that she had an enormous affection for this village of 1,160. Being on so many commit­


tees she has little spare tme. She has spent more than 36 years triyng to improve Sab­ den and when you take a look round you can see the result of her efforts and han­ diwork. She is chairman of the Horticultural Society; sec­ retary for the ‘Over 60s’ ; chairman of the No. 6 Health Committee at Burnley. Let me also add she has been on the parish council


The new vicarage partly obscures the view of a fine church Compact house, old and new, nestle beside: the village school


21 years and Burnley Rural Council for 12 years. Not a bad record by any standard. She is proud to have been presented to the Queen in 1968, at Knowsley Hall, where she was introduced by. Lord Leverhulme. Speaking oh things in gen­


eral, she was positive that much more could be done in. and for, Sabden if more people were interested. Tidy and beautiful as it is, she is convinced if could be made better. I had to smile as she told


of the meeting she chaired and of how the Commitee, anxious to know why she was so eager to get through the business, soon came to realise her intention. After comple­ tion of the agenda the 12 members present went down to tend the rose garden in the village. Hence the importance of getting through the busi­ ness in order to get down to reality. One thing is certain, I must


go along again in the not too distant future to continue our conversation, not only of things appertaining to Sab­ den but of those things which are so often in people’s minds today Miss Alton has very definite opinions on morals and life in general. Seldom does one meet a


person of such principles and convictions on such a diver­ sity of subjects. Maybe she is


one of the ‘old school' but i have no hesitation in swn that had we more o[ sinv lar character and puny,,- then this land of ours *ouii


be greatly improved and » riched.


Tinge of criticism We spoke on a variety o'


subjects and I found just me tinge of criticism which con


corned the ‘planning and in particular the siting, ot the new vicarage at the head o' Wesley Road. Here is the church of


land, a fine structure, but nor almost entirely obliterated from public view bv wha‘ appears to be a foolish siting of the adjacent vicarage now under construction I went to see for myself and standing at the entrance road, found a sense of disre­ gard and unbalance. There has to be a vicarage I sup. pose and there may be an explainalion, but whv place it to hide the very thing it is supposed to serve? I certainly enjoyed this so
