BOWKER’S ARE BOOMING


Furniture firm plans expansion


BUSINESS is booming for the Clithcroe firm of Bowker Brothers. Over the next two years they are scheduled to spend more than £250,000 on an expansion programme. They will also be increasing their work force by up to half. To provide room for


expansion, the firm,

that people were worried by price increases, and it was the people’s attitude to in­ flation and their expecta­ tions that matter most. “ The government's pre­


conceived analysis leads it to concentrate on holding down wages. But prices are the


key, ” Mr Walsh suggested, “ Unless prices are contained, and satisfy people's expecta­ tions, the pressure for higher wages will not abate, and un­ rest and discontent will grow. “ This will certainly mean


that the support for phase two of the freeze, which the government claims to have, will ebb quickly. ” School meals, prescriptions,


prices of Common Market food will soon begin to bite. ” In all these areas, govern­


ment policy had deliberately forced up the cost of' living. Land and house prices con­ tinue to spiral, rents con­ tinued to rise, mortgage rates had risen, and credit was more expensive—all in a period when wages and salaries had been frozen or heavily regulated. “ Having legislated to hold

SHINDIG WILL HELP ARTHRITIS


SUFFERERS AN old Clitheroe mill now used as a warehouse takes on a new role next week as venue for a Shindig being organised by the Rotary Club of Clitheroe. Proceeds from the event


at Shawbridge Mill, on Fri­ day, March 9th, will go towards providing a massage machine for the Clitheroe Physiotherapy Centre.


Said Mr John Myers,
