A CLITHEROE man who was stopped by police because his car was not dis­ playing an excise licence ihouglit that the vehicle was in fact taxed at the time, Clitheroe magistrates heaid. Pleading guilty to using an

It was only after being .stopped by the police that Wareing discovered the London dealer had not been able to tax the car becau.se he had posted the documents on to Wareing’s garage. “ My client genuinely


believed that the vehicle wa.s in fact taxed when he u.sed it,” concluded Mr Green­ wood.

Nature walks


STARTING on Saturday and continuing at fort­ nightly intervals through­ out the summer, the Clitheroe Naturalists have


arranged a most interesting divcr.sity of Nature Walks. It is iiopcd that these will


.suit all tastes and cater foi' those Clitheronians who pre­ fer to amble along the countryside for a few miles rather than attempt the longer distance rambles. The first walk is around


Forest Bocks and others in­ clude Ingleton Falls, the banks of the Wiiarfc at Burn.sall. Hurst Green, Downham. Clapham, Hod- der Woods, Cliviger Gorge, and Hardcastle Crags and many others. When convenient, the nor­


mal bu.s service will be used to reach any distant start­


ing point. At other times, special coaches or private cars will be used. Prior notice of each of the walks will be publkslied in the columns of the Adverti-ser,


Jumble sale


A JUMBLE sale held by the Clitheroe branch of the Women’s Conservative Asso­ ciation in the lower hall of the Parish Church Scliool on Saturday raised nearly £ 20.


If Sir Alf Ramsey needs


a few' tips for his England team about w'inning foot­ ball matches, he could do a lot worse than to have a look in at the Dog Inn, Whalley.


For the Dog's football


team has .lust completed 100 “ friendly” matches, with a.


record of 88 wins, four draws and only eight defeats.


Nearly three years ago.


the Dog's darts team really was in the doghouse in a n o t h e r


disappointing


.season. But the liub is among


Whalley's main social points, and so Mr Arthur Ruther­ ford, of Green Park, decided that if the darts .squ.ad could bring no glory to I'ia local an alternative must be sought.


After asking some young


men if they could kick footballs straighter than they could throw arrows, lie bovrowcii a football strip, gained permission to use Wlialley Rangers’ grofind and formed the Dog Inn football team.

'The footballers’ resilience i I


must have affected the darts i players, for now they are j throwing straighter and it | seems that at last the Dog Inn may ba.sk in glory. Incidentally, if there are


.still any so bold as to stop on to tlio field with the Dog Inn for a Sunday morning friendly, they are welcome


to contact Mr Rutherford. Tile squad, with Mr


Rutherford and some young fans, are pictured at Rim- ington on Sunday where tliey won 5—2, Their names: P. Ashton, R. Wilkinson, H. Shackleton (capt.). G. Haward, J. Haward, J. Bargli, J, -Anderson, C. Robinson, A. Hunt, A. Ron- nan, B. Rutherford, T. Thomiison and N. Duck­ worth.

magistrates, Birtwell admit­ ted driving with exce.ss alcohol in his blood. He was also fined £20 with endorse­ ment. and ordered to pay a ; doctor’s fee of £7,20.


' A police vehicle following


the defendant’s car on the Whalley-Clitheroe by-pa.s,s saw that it was weaving from side to side in its own half of the road, said Insp. T. J. Sumner.


RieSPONSIBU: Birtwell wa.s followed until


he stopped in the drive of his Ifonie where ho wa.s given a breath test. Tliis proved positive, and a blood test later sliowcd that he had 202 mg. of alcohol in 100 ml. of blood—over two and a half times the legal limit.


Mr W. D. Greenwood,


defending, explained that Birtwell had been to an office party in Sabden. “ He is not a drinker, btit a responsible young man. and he offered to give a friend a lift home, not realising he was over tlic limit. He realises by doing a good turn he has landed himself in court.’’
