A TEI.EVISION discussion on Women's Lib .so intrigued Mrs Dorothy P.ve, wife of Clitheroe Rotary Club president Rtn Ronnie Pyc, that she could not resist having her .say at the club's ladies' night dinner-dance. " Any woman who burn.s


h(ir Ij'i'a, is not taking a forward step but a retro­ grade one and when .she burns it she ought to thiow away her panties and Join the native women in darkest Africa," said Mrs Pye. She coulci not understand


■Women’s Lib. “ 'What do we need liberating from? Ir ft {Trednni of obligatinn? If *o.


I think it is a very selfish outlook. Partnership and friendship are two very good ships to sail in and we are


all morally bound to our families and to one another. The poi'son who docs not accept responsibility is going to be a very lonely person. " I would like to suggest to


them an old-fashioned word which appears to have gone out of fashion. The word is contentment and I think If we all accepted this, even England would be a far better place to live.”


Mrs Pye wa.s replying l<» ilea loaat to th« ladiefi, prtF-


posed by the club’s first vice, president, Rtn Dr W. D. Oliver. During the dance which


followed, members sprang a surprise on their president, putting him under the " This is Your Life ” spotlight. In an hilarious half hour, pictures were shown of Rtn P.ve from being a baby to his days courting Dorothy and holidays abroad, with fellow Rotarlans dressing up as colourful and linaginary characters from his past. The dinner-dance, at the


Starkie Arms, attracted a record attendance of over 100.


Among guests was the


president of the Clitheroe Inner Wheel, Mrs E. Haigh.

Postman for 46 years


A FORMER Clitheroe post­ man, Mr Billy Black, has died at the home of liis sister-in-law, Mrs Gertrude Dewhurst, of 7 Kirkmoor Road, Clitheroe, at the age


of 85. Before his wife died six


years ago. he lived at 2 Longsight Avenue, clitheroe. Mr Black startcid his long


career with t'he post office on leaving .school in the 1900s. becoming a mes­ senger boy at Clitheroe Post Office. He had to walk many mile.s round the Chaiglcy district delivering telegrams for five shillings j a week.


After his war service


from 1915 to 1920. he became a postman in the Pendleton area .and was there for about 20 years. He retired 25 years ago when he was 60.


Serving in the Fir.st


World 'War in the Royal Field .Artillery, he .saw action in France. Ironi­ cally at the end of the war he wa.s badly wounded in the thigh by a fellow gun­ ner. wtiase loaded rifle went off by accident.

Surviving relatives are his Recovery


WISHES for a speedy recovery from illness were expresse'd for Mr Harold Cockshutt, surveyor to Clitheroe Rural Council, at Monday's meeting.


A few minutes later Mr


Clark heard more noises and saw the youth and girl arguing.


He told them to be quiet,


but Winterbottom gave a V-sign and twice threw stones at the window.


Winterbottom ran oft


when the police arrived, but they caught him. He told the officers he was only trying to get shut of the girl and the licensee should have minded his own


business. In court, Winterbottcin


had nothing to say in answer to the summons.


The magistrates' chair­


man, Mr Stanley Westhead. described him as the most stupid and irresponsible person they had dealt with that morning.
