Chipping Parish Council which has no authority

to the planning authority, and at one of the meetings an amusing dialect poem written by a Chippener was read out. I; was argued in the


parish council that it would be unsafe to have vehicles drawing out into Windy Street, which is the main access to and from Long-


naze. The street is used by


heavy traffic and when a car and a large lcrry meet, one oi them has to give wav. The street is also used by


children going to and from school, and the cobbled path is on Mr Pollard's side. In fact, the street is so


narrow it is joked that people who live there are thin through having to press themselves to the wails to dodge traffic. The garage plan has been


opposed by Clitheroe RDC and is now before the Lan­ cashire County. Notice to lodge objections to the plan expires today. M

FANCY A GAME OF CHESS ?-


THEN READ ON


THOUGH the World Championship chess match in Reykjavik aroused wide public interest and many chess clubs doubled their membership as a result, there has been little effect locally.


Chairman of Clitheroe


Chess Club, Mr H. L. Cosgrove, said: “There is hardly a ripple on the pond really, unless people are playing against imaginary opponents at home.”


The Clitheroe club, with


about 22 members, has an average weekly turnout of only 12. This is a 50 per cent, increase on last year, but not good by national standards. Said Mr Cosgrove; “ All


our members report the same attitude Irom then- friends and acqaintances: yes, they would like to play chess, or they used to play and would like to have


another go, and yes they will come along on Tuesday night to the Station Hotel — but they rarely do.


“ Have people a misconcep­


tion about some aspects of chess ? If so, these are ques­ tions that I have been asked over the last few years with my answers,” says Mr Cos­ grove.


Q—Chess is difficult to


learn and I am stupid. A—So am I, but however


Q—It takes too long. A—Nonsense ! A game can


finish in two moves, and if you play with a chess clock (which you should do)


and requires a special type of far-seeing mind.

Normal children play quite well from four years up­ wards, and although a child can be intelligent at four. I can’t see it being intellec­ tual. As for seeing moves far ahead — speaking for my­ self, I sec only one and that’s my next move. You can think ahead until you go blue in the face but what if vour opponent doesn't make the right move ? Mine never does.

A — This seems to worry


membership is made up of players wanting a convivial night out, giving them a complete change from work and the more conventional entertainments of our time — a completely amateur outlook. We play seriously, of course, but for fun.”

SEAT SUB-POSTMASTER at Bol- ton-by-Bowland Mr Albert E. Astley is the area's Con­ servative candidate for the No. 3 District elections.


Mr Astley, a former


Accrington policeman with 27 years’ service, was selec­ ted by about 70 voting mem­ bers at a meeting in Boi- ton-by-Bowland School on Monday night, in a straight fight with Mr Thomas U. Liddle, of Green End, Saw- ley. A third nominee with­ drew before the meeting.


Mr Astley, who lives in


Main Street, has been a member of the association for about four years. He is married and has two daughters.


The design of the exit


enables Mr Pollard to see about 12ft. to either side before reaching the road. “ There is no more danger than at an ordinary road crossover,” he said. “ If you know that there are children coming past you crawl out slowly. I have two kids who will be going to the school soon, and I’m not very keen on squashing them." From speaking to vil­


sition may be deeper-rooted than in aesthetics or safety. “ I'm a Londoner,” he said. “ I'm sure that has a
