THE massage machine, which the Rotary Club of Clitheroe bought for the


Physiotherapy Centre from the proceeds of their recent Shindig, has been in use for a week.


Already the benefits of the


machine are being felt by rutting down by half the lueuea of rheumatie and arthritic sufferers.


The apparatus is used to produce a type of under-


skin massage. A cheque for £634 for tlie


apparatus was handed over at a ceremony at the club, by the president, Rtn. Ronnie Pye.


The cheque was received


by Mr J. Wilkinson, chair­ man of the centre, and him­ self a member of the club.

amount raised at the Shin­ dig must have been a record for one evening for an'<«v«nfc

equipment and extra money for contingencies meant that Clitheroe now had one of, the finest private centres in the country.
