Couple’s cattle win six cups


WHEN Newton farmers Mr and Mrs John Parker decided to take seven cattle to the Hodder Valley Show they little thought they would return home with nearly all the trophies. For when they arrived


at the show on Saturday they discovered that in


most of the classes theirs were the only cattle entered.


For the past three


years the cattle show has been cancelled following

the I n t r o d u c t i o n of brucellosis testing in the Hodder Valley. It was decided to restore cattle this time but only four farmers competed in the main classes and three in the Young Farmers’ cattle section.

Children's section, judged by Black and white print: Mr S. Handicrafts, judged by Miss M. for


some years, has died in a Gargrave nursing home. She had been a devoted church worker all her l i f e ,


firstly


at St Catherine’s, Burnley, and then at St Helen’s, Waddington, w h e r e she served on the parochial church council for many years. She had also been superintendent o f the Sun­ day school in her younger days, and many young mar­ ried men and women in the village today remember her with great affection. Her interests were widespread, in the best sense o f the word, and she had been the secretary o f the United Society for the Propagation or the Gospel and, in con­ sequence, had raised large sums o f money for the Church overseas. She had been a lifelong member of t.hc Mothers’ Union, and at one time was the members’ representative for the Brad­ ford diocese on the Central Council o f the Mothers’ Union. Owing to ill- health during the last two years, she had been obliged to curtail her activities, but even during the last few months in the nursing home she kept up her intense interest in ail the work undertaken by the Church, and especially in that o f St Helen's. She is survived by a 'daughter and a grand-daughter.


Play group St Helen's Play group has


restarted after the summer holidays, under the super­ vision o f Mi's Milly Watts and her assistant, Mrs Dorothy Aspin. Seven of the group had left to attend the Waddington and West Brad ford CE P r i m a r y School, and most of them had settled down very hap­ pily there after their two years in the play group. The number in the play group had been brought up to 24 by admitting the th r e e -y e a r -o ld s who had been on the waiting list.


Extensions Preliminary plans are


being prepared for the further enlargement of Waddington and West Brad­ ford CE Primary School, following an increase in the number o f scholars. At a meeting o f tire managers, Mr* Barry Raw-


son, o f Messrs Wales and Son, the firm o f architects and surveyors responsible for the work o f enlarging the school in previous years, spoke about likely ways in which the new classrooms and subsidiary rooms might be situated. After a long discussion.


Mr Rawson was asked to prepare preliminary plans to be considered at a future meeting.
