THE s e c r e t a r y of Clitheroe Rifle Club is quite a mean shot in the pistol section, and is often called upon to show the “new boys” how it's done — which is not bad
for a woman. Mrs Bertha Smith, of
“Abbotsdene,” Rimington, has been shooting now for eight of nine years, but modestly describes her skills as ‘‘average.” "At the moment I am the
only lady member of the club," she said, "but there are several others who have shown an interest in joining recently.” Her interest in the sport

WHIST and DOMINOES
As advertised last week
stems from her husband, Peter, an assistant manager at Rolls-Royce, Barnolds- wick, who has been a keen marksman for a dozen years. " I got fed up with sitting at home while he went to club meetings, so one day 1 de cided to go along with him and find out what it was all about." The Clitheroe club, which
moved into a new headquar ters next to the open mar ket earlier this year, is now a thriving concern. I t meets three evenings a week and often on Sunday mornings
as well. The pistol shooting section
is most popular with 24 members, whereas only five people keep rigidly to the club’s official name — and use rifles. " I think one of the reasons for the added
Demand for
new industries
THE need for Clitheroe to in vite new and modern in dustry to the district was dis cussed at the monthly meet ing of Clitheroe and District Trades Council. Mr Fred Spencer, of the
General and Mimicipa.1 Workers’ Union, made the point that a number of in dustrial units in the town were old and that there would appear to be little effort on behalf of the owners to invest more capital in them. In the near future, this
could result, in an increase in unemployment., and already many young people were having to travel to other towns for employment. Feeling was also expressed
that Clitheroe might become a dormitory for the larger Industrial towns, creating an abundance of commuter types, whose main interests would be outside the town. The council will write to
the town clerk for informa tion on the present position
regarding industrial develop ment.
Everyone left the village
b u t . . .
WHEN Manchester and Liverpool were bombed, enemy planes flew straight over High Crompton, the home town of Mr F. Howarth. of 18 Talbot Close, Clitheroe. He writes: I t was one Fri
day night around seven o’clock, during the early days of the blitz when the blackout was in lull force. A German piano came over. Everyone was used to the Br-r-r-r of the engines. It flew around lor hours tor menting us, until the tale has it that two old folk were talking at a corner and one of them happened to light his pipe.
; They say the German pilqt
must have seen the light. That was at 10 p.m., and a few minutes later the first bomb was dropped, having a direct hit on a cotton mill. You can imagine what it
to light up, and this must, have encouraged the "Jerry.” He dropped one or two mors bombs and must have flown back to bring some more enemy planes. They came over in waves
after that. Everybody rushed to the shelter, including my family, but my brother and I decided to go in the cellar.; To cut a long story short,'
we stayed in the cellar until 4-30 on Saturday morning ’ Everything had gone quiet, although we had not heard1 tile all-clear siren. We got a good fire going'
and made a pint of tea each. We were just enjoying our' drink when a bang came on' the door. Who should be. standing there, but a police-1 man and an ARP warden. “ What are you doing'
here?" said thc policeman.! " We live here," I replied.
“ Well you had better get to! hell out of it unless you want.!
“ You are the only two left! in the village.”
Everyone had been evacua-l
ted to the town hall and1 public halls at Shaw, the next town. There were 21 unexploded bombs in our vil lage, and it was Wednesday
before the people got bade to their homes. \

popularity of pistols is that it is more difficult to bo
accurate with a gun held at arm's length, so there is more of a challenge to the sport," said Mrs Smith. At present, life is being
made more exciting for 11 members by a pistol-shooting competition, organised for the entire Lancashire county. And the competitions is
run in a novel way — by post,. Each of the participa ting clubs shools on the "home ground," and then the target cards, complete with holes, are posted ofT to a scorer for comparison. “It gives the sport more
interest when yon are shoot ing against other people for a prize.” said Mrs Smith. But .sharpshooting is not
always straightforward. One of the occupational hazards is "the shakes” — the scourge of gunslingers. Explained Mrs Smith,
"When you are standing at the end of the range shoulder to shoulder in a long row of people, you are concen trating so hard that some times your arm starts shak ing, and there is little you can do about it. "Even the top shots have
this kind of trouble," sho said, "and their advice is to try to convince yourself that you are the only person (here, and the others don't exist.” This, she added, can be
difficult when you are sur rounded by other marks men, and there are specta
tors as well. Mrs Smith says that
shooting a pistol needs a great amount of concentra tion. " I f you go straight from work when you are tired, then you will not be very accurate — it is the mental attitude
that
counts,’’ said Mrs Smith, who works as a secretary at Rufus Carr's garage, Bawd, lands, Clitheroe.
She finds that she shoots
her best after she lias been serving petrol on the garage forecourt. "This is because that job needs little mental effort, so when I have finished, I have plenty of concentration left.” Mrs Smith, who has been
on a number of courses run by national champion shots, finds that newcomers to the sport usually make a good start, but deteriorate tem porarily after a. few weeks. "When they start, they are very careful, and concen trate hard, because they, have a. gun in their hand fori the first time. But once they become
familiar with it, they get too self-confident — and their performance drops,” she ex plained. But it's not all hard work’
for members, there is an active social life in the club as well, and the next big event on the calendar is the annual dinner, to be held at the New Inn. in January. Other officials of the club
are Mr Gordon Heap, chair man, and Mr Harold Ken. drick, treasurer.

GOSPEL SERVICE SUNDAY 6-30 p.m.
Speaker: MR D. HIRST, Burnley.
AS AN exiled Clitheronian, now involved in youth work, I have read the latest round of letters concerning provision of facilities for young people with great interest . . . and disgust.
What Clitheroe needs and
has needed for years is a well - equipped community centre, with qualified staff. Youth must be given every chance to foster personal relationships, develop toler ance for others and estab lish their own identities in an atmosphere far more congenial and stimulating than shop doorways and the public toilets.
At the moment, provision
of leisure facilities for young people in Clitheroe is al most non-existent.
It is
about time so-called mature citizens realised this and tackled the problem.
RISK Is Clitheroe so insensitive
to the needs of young people that it anil not admit to having a problem? Are there no outward-looking people who can learn from the mistakes of other towns in the same situation?
Will you wait until van dalism and dissent among
YOUTH MUST > AGITATE FOR OWN CENTRE
the young reaches epidemic proportions before doing something constructive? It. is ” unreasonable for
“ mature " adults to expect young people to see the values of community ser vice when they themselves are not accepted as part of the community. No doubt adults will sav that they have neither time nor money to waste on such “ risky ” ventures as pro viding adequate facilities for the young. Surely a town of more
than i2.000 people, which supports about 30 pubs and clubs, can justify a com
munity centre and see it as a valuable asset to the town.
Such a venture should get the full support of Clith- eronians and may even drag Clitheroe into the 70's. Youth must not feel over
awed by the feeble efforts of “ mature " adults to keep them “ in their place" and deny them facilities which are a right rather than a privilege.
BEIIAVTOUR Youth must canvass, agi
tate and petition to make : it plain that they are dis satisfied. I repeat, it must not be left, as it has been in other towns, for youth
work to be introduced as a remedial measure to combat vandalism and violence. Note well, staid old men
of Clitheroe, once vandalism and violence become ac cepted behaviour by the young, as they surely will in Clitheroe. it will be very difficult to understand and remedy this problem . . . rather like a “ Clockwork Orange.’’
