ADLINGT0N STREET, BURNLEY


THE unqualified success of the big village bonfire at Whalley Cricket Club on Saturday night lias made it certain to become an annual


event. The bonfire achieved all


it set out to do. Members of the bowls section took £60 on the gate, which included money collected by ticket sales adding up to a net profit of between £40 and £50 for tlie club's ailing finances. At least 500 atten­


ded, many bringing fire­ works to add to the specta­ cular display, and best of all nobody was hurt. Organisers did their ut­


most to prevent mishaps. The fire was roped off to stop children going too close, and the fireworks were all lit Inside tlie tennis courts while spectators watched from the other side of the netting. This way, everyone could see in safety. Club members provided about £10


worth of big fireworks for Ihe display, and many others were handed in at the gate to increase the fun


and variety. Tennis members .stage-


managed the firework dis­ play, tlie cricketers or­ ganised wood-collecting for the 15-foot bonfire, and all the wives banded together to look after the food that was provided. It was just as well, inci­ dentally, that the wood was


not built up until Saturday afternoon, for although tlie event was two days before Guy Fawkes night an un­ known prankster tried to start it up on Thursday. For­ tunately, only a few packing cases were set alight and tlie fire brigade soon put out the premature blaze.

Critic of Clitheroe junction


THE junction of Wellgatc a n d Duck Street in Clitheroe was criticised when a Billington man was summoned at Clitheroe magistrates’ court for not conforming to a stop sign. Richard H. Griffin (2D, of


Paslurclands Drive, said in a letter to the court, that he stopped at the junction, but bad to roll forward to get a clear view along Duck Street. ” It is a very bad junction,” he said. Griffin pleaded guilty and was fined £15.


(181, of no fixed address, was remanded in custody in the meantime, after admitting taking a car without consent, driving without insurance and with­


out a driving licence, and stealing £7.55 from gas and


electricity meters. Mr J. L. Lumley, defend­


ing, asked for the remand so that he could discover


whether Townley's father would send money for the youth's fare to Rhodesia. " Probably justice will be best served if he goes back to live with his parents." lie said.


secuting, said that Townley admitted to police that he took a woman's car (which had the ignition keys ini from Clitheroe to Ormskirk. and when it ran short of petrol abandoned it and returned in another car which he took.
