agree. The Deputy Mayor. Aid. Sid­


ney Moore, said one was not enough and Coun. Frank Nel­ son successfully moved that the Legion be asked to name two representatives.


Time limit set


CHARITY organisations wish­ ing to make street collections in Cl itheroc must apply for per­ mission before January 31st each year, says the town's fin­ ance committee. It is hoped this will banish problems created by those who delay their applica­ tion until the last minute.


AFTER a road accident at the junction of the Whalley—Clith- eroe by-pass and Sawley Road, Chatburn, Mr. Josef Harb, of Pendle Avenue, Chatburn, was treated for minor injuries. The accident happened on


Friday evening, and Mr. Harb was taken to Accrington Vic­ toria Hospital, but he was not detained.
