Council should have seen pitch faults
AS a football spectator, I have been very interested in the letter from Mr Whit taker and the Town Clerk's reply.
The impression one gets
from this is that the Council and the Parks Superinten dent were unaware that there were any "defects."
tion on them that at the end of the season, when pitches have been in an un satisfactory condition, they should have been unaware o f . these conditions.
Surely it is a sad reflec As someone marks out the
pitches every week, a state ment I would query very strongly, did they not sec the obvious faults?
the cars of the footballers were more likely made by much heavier vehicles, hav ing seen them myself.
The marks attributed to I would have thought that
the young men of the town and the surrounding areas
should surely be encouraged to use up their surplus energies in sport rather than vandalism, and has it ever occurred to the council that many of these young men are ratepayers. They are decent, citizens, as shown by their willingness to play charity matches for Tricia week.
Wake up. Clitheroe Town
Council, and help your own ratepayers and give them proper recreational facili ties. The pitches at Rocfleld are’ not in the condition they should be considering the amount of money spent on them. They are a dis grace.

Efforts reduce noise ineffective
MAY I attempt to clarify some of the misleading suspicions and statements made last week by “ Jack of Spades.’’ As he insists on using a nom-de-plume, there appears to be no other way of bringing the true facts to his notice.
The main body of the ob
jectors to the renewal of the registration of the Ace of Spades Club are not, as he suspects, “ sanctimonious do- gooders," but 99 per cent, of the neighbours of the club, who clearly state their reasons for doing so and
Action on Rofield
IT'S time someone got the wheels in motion and turned Rocfleld into some- tiling- of value for the town. Let's forget for the time being the “ outsiders." The councillors seem -to have for gotten that they are selected to represent the interests of the people of Clitheroe.
Only recently we had a
councillor writing regarding the football pitches saying that the sports council would solve the problem. Hooray for the magic wand! But wait, where is the sports council? It's an idea in the minds of the same coun cillors. A “ puppet ” for the council.
Let's see some positive
action now. If the council lors can't do anything pr\i- tive let us, the townspeople, by-pass them and go it alone.
A. TREE, Clitheroe.
also divulge their identity, which is more than can be said for “ Jack of Spades."
Over the years the club
has been in existence, these people have had to put up with a considerable amount of nuisance and will not concede that the manage ment have made any great reduction in the noise level. Whatever their efforts have been, they have been in effective and we are still left with “ noise."
SOLUTION Surely “ Jack of Spades "
must agree that if the rural and parish councils are pre pared to support the objec tion there must be some justification for it. After all, they are a body of unbiased respected citizens whom the electorate have appointed to look after their interests, and which they do very efficiently.

I agree that everyone is
In conclusion. I sincerely hope that this matter can
be resolved to the satisfac tion of all concerned, and then everyone will be happy.

What a record on schools!
FOR the voters and candidates in Thursday’s elections, herewith a few points which indicate to me how the present county authority has hopelessly bungled over primary education in the town.
1: Entry to Clitheroe
primary schools has been restricted. 2: For Edisford school it
is the second time. 3: Edisford is the area
hardest hit, as it was in 1971. Children cannot st ar t
until the term after their fifth birthday, newcomers to the area cannot be admit ted at all, and classes are overcrowded. 4: Tire nursery school is
full with a waiting list. 5: However, the acting
divisional education officer told the town council that the town ’does not even come anywhere near the top of the list of schools quali fying for extra nursery school places, to be made available under Mrs That cher’s recent handout. 6: Temporary classrooms
for Edisford school to relieve the situation were refused. 7: Extra building of any
description at E d i s f o r d school was refused in spite of land a-plenty. 8: A new primary school
was promised for spring, 1972, but It has still not even been built. What a record! What a
mess! And a note for the future
—400 houses may be built near the proposed new school and 600 houses near Edisford school. Steps must be taken now
to ensure that children from those houses will be sure of a place at a primary school near their homes.

A cheap fares pressure group needed
IN BLACKBURN. pen sioners are now able to travel by bus and train absolutely free, and to sur rounding towns at a small extra charge.
Do Clitheroe pensioners
wish to enjoy even a small part of these delights? Then they should waken up and study how best to go about it.
Perhaps Pendle Club could
find a pressure group. We can’t imagine them twisting and turning like a fish im paled on a hook. .
To Mr Braithwaite, who
has now decided to defend this kind of behaviour by the National Federation, we can assure him of our sym pathy in having to pen such a ridiculous letter.
Tire pensioners now know, if they didn’t know before,
that “ come what may we are governed at three levels," and that “ the Transport Act can benefit pensioners . . . ” if they had someone to press their case,
of course. So we think now we are
entitled to ask, if such a letter as he claims was sent on March 12th, 1970, why did we find the local branch of the federation parading Clitheroe on September 24th, 1971, with their now famous banners, “ Say no to conces sions.” Please answer the ques
tions and leave the flowers of rhetoric on one side.
RETIRED PENSIONER Snow back
THE sudden return of winter weather on Sunday night caused patches of black ice on roads, but in the Clitheroe area gritting machines were out early after Met. Office forecasts and no accidents were reported. Warm sun melted the snow on Mondav.

IN answering my letter about world prices, Mr Michael Walsh, the prospec tive Labour candidate, says
that I suggested that we should grow at an even slower pace. This, my dear sir, is quite untrue. The actual text was: “Would it not be better for the economy to progress in stages, thus giving science and technology a chance to solve the problems that face us all.” This might be an economic illogicality, but it is ecological commonsense.
The reason why Sweden
and Austria managed to freeze food prices is very easily seen. The answer lies in the realms of geography — Sweden has a land mass of 173,426 square miles and a population of approxi mately eight million (1968 figures), one of its major industries being arable and dairy farming and one of its chief exports dairy pro duce.
of 32,376 square miles, with a population of just over seven million (1968). One of its chief occupations is farming.
Austria has a land mass Tire United Kingdom —
land mass 94.000 square miles — has a population of 54 millions.
It is easily observed from
these statistics that a country whose population is about equal to the popula tion of London can peg re tail food prices for a few months, simply because they can produce sufficient food for their own needs.
hand,
Britain, on the other cannot produce
enough to feed its 54 mil lion, and as a result it has to import over 50 per cent of its requirements from the major world food producers. In the next 20 years it has been predicted that our population will exceed 60 millions, hence a greater amount of imports at world prices.
economic policies employed by the various jx>lilica.l parties, whether Socialist or Conservative, have each in turn brought about in their mad pursuit for economic growth, devaluations, unem ployment and a decline in the purchasing power of flic British pound. This nation needs new
It does appear that the

Praise in defeat
AS a defeated contestant, I should like to congratu late you and the Operatic and Dramatic Society on a
very successful
“Masterminds” contest. The organisation was
highly professional and the response almost over whelming. My particular congratulations to the question masters, who, handling every contest so competently, conveyed an impression of urbanity and suavity, which had to be seen to be believed. Looking forward to the

PAY YOUR ‘TAP TAX’
WITHIN the next few days some Clitheroe people will be asked to pay a voluntary “
tap
tax.” This has nothing to do with water rate which always arrives at this time of year but it will
go a little way towards helping the people of Western India tohere there has been no rain for three years.
Christian Congregations and Clitheroe Oxfam group have joined forces for this urgent appeal which asks people to give at least 2p for each tap in their home.

A FAMILY ■ FILM
‘ DR DOOLITTLE ” ' at' the Civic (Mon. to Wed.), will appeal to all children who like animal stories. Starring Rex Harrison, most of the film was made in the pic
turesque village of Castle Coombe and villagers took
part. A nostalgic backwat d
glance at the humdrum, jazz- crazy New York of the eaily 1920s is the background for comedy, dancing and songs, in “ Thoroughly Modern Millie” (Thursday to Satur
day). Julie Andrews is the flap
per girl who comes to the big city to find romance and
strikes it rich. Filmed entirely in Barns
ley, with an almost totally unknown cast, “ Kes ’’ (Re gal 1, Skipton), features David Bradley as a rebellious schoolboy. He takes an interest in a
wild kestrel hawk, steals a book on falconry and starts
to train the hawk. A completely contrasting
film “ Bedknobs and Broom sticks ’’ (Regal 2) is a light hearted Walt Disney produc tion, with Angela Lansbury and David Tomlinson.
