Whalley wants a say in plans for the village


PLANS for the future of Whalley should be drawn up by the parish council, who should then call a parish meeting to discuss their ideas, Coun. William Kinder suggested at Tuesday’s meeting of the council.


Referring to a recent pub­


Jeffrey Rowbotliam, Mr Kinder commented: "We have been told of the schemes the planners have for the village—such as a medical centre on the Vale House cafe site, and a super­ market in King Street."


lic meeting addressed by county planning officer, Mr


will decide to go straight ahead with their ideas. Let's not just administer the vil­ lage as it is at present. Let's look forward and decide what we would like.”

He leaves a wife. The He took a keen interest in


for the future of the Liberal Party. It is perhaps a little un­


fair to remind him of Or­ pington. Torrington, Cheadle


and Ladywoo'd, which all at different times were said to herald the dawn of a new era.


We are told that the


Liberal Party have the talent and ability to govern the country, and one won­ ders on what foundation this premise is made.


Today’s Liberal Party


relies on the support of those temporarily in dis­ agreement with the two main parties and a hard core of enthusiasts, includ­ ing many who find it easier to say yes and no rather than either yes or no.


GRIEVANCES The few Liberals in Par­


liament are well aware that their only chance of power would come through some form of coalition brought about by them holding the balance of power. It is doubtful if those voting Liberal in the mid-term by- elections would really want to build such an element of instability into our parlia­ mentary system. There are some, like Mr


Kinder, who foresee a revival. in the future, but any great political party must be based on something more than wishful thinking and the ability to collect votes from the disillusioned. It is not enough to use


grievance politics, spending three weeks of a campaign telling everyone that you will 'deal with everything from paving stones to ambu­ lances and then, faster than you can say community politics, running off to the next by-election.


REAL SLOGAN Turning to more local


matters one looks at the 1970 election results in vain for a sign of real support for Liberalism. Out of a total vote of almost 40.000 the Liberal candidate trailed a poor third and with a vote under 5,000 only just managed to save their 'deposit.


mention the votes received by Liberal candidates in the recent district council elec­ tion when not one of them was elected. The electorate can sec


It would be unkind to


that the alternative to a Conservative Member of Parliament in this con­ stituency is a Socialist and that a vote for a third minority party will only serve to blur the Issue. Although harsh, the words


of Mr Macmillan in 1962 are relevant today: "The Liberal revival is not a


Party remote from the real world


THE chairman of the Clitheroe Liberal Association makes the claim that the Liberal Party has the policies to govern the country. I am not often given to quoting Harold'Wilson but he was perhaps correct when he said that the Liberal Party had a policy for every street. He might have added that they were all contradictory.


What are the Liberal


policies for dealing with the problems that face the country today? They voted In tlhe House of Commons against all the last three Immigration Bills and ap­ pear to be against any form of restriction of people coming to stay In over­ crowded Britain. They say that the State


retirement pension should be brought up to half the average Industrial earnings for a marrie'd couple and one-third for a single per­ son. They Ignore the fact that this would cost £1.500m. and make no suggestion as to who would pay.


They voted for the Indus­


trial Relations Act on Its Second Reading and against


Invited to meeting


TRINITY Me t h o d i s t Women’s Fellowship Invited members of the Mothers’ Union, Roman Catholics and the United Reformed churches to join in their meeting last week. Mrs Cowperthwaite, of


Clitheroe, based her address on the text “ L< I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." She exclaimed tHat when Christ was crucified the


disciples thought their work was finished, but the assur­ ance of that promise, courage and power of the Holy Spirit helped them to oontinue.

on Third Reading. I sup­ pose that maintains con­ sistency. So far as foreign or


defence policy Is concerned, the glib suggestion by Mr Thorpe that the problems of Southern Africa can be cured by bombing Rhodesia is all that one has to


examine. The little Liberal policy


that has been announced is littered with the usual cries —redistribution, partnership, devolution, decentralisation, participation—and can cause grave offence to no one. Throughout, as usual, there is a marked absence of detail and reference to cost: there is a marked absence of interest in what the two major parties have done or are doing and there is, above all. a remoteness from the real world. Mr Kinder Implies that


people should vote Liberal because of the results In a few by-elections, but this


really is not a verv good argument to convince the electorate. The Liberal Party will have to reveal policies that are original and sensible if thev wish to bp taken seriously at the next General Election. TORN TROOP Chairman Clitheroe Conservative Polling District Committee.

come up with a scheme himself, council chairman, County Aid. Basil Green­ wood commented that the county has possible plans for the future for every area.


Inviting Coun. Kinder to


us up is that we do not know what powers we will have under local govern­ ment reorganisation." Coun. J. Slater suggested


■ ■ The thing that is holding


that the provision of a vil­ lage hall should be discussed


especially. “ If we had a hall, we could use it to house a


medical centre, and for many other functions. It


could be used by the Scouts, the senior citizens and so


on.” He suggested that a refer­


endum be held to gain electors' opinions, and the council should then go into costs and the possibility of levying a rate to pay for a hall. Commented Coun. A. Westwell: “ We would have to think how much wc want to spend. We would not get much for £56.090. and to raise that we would need a rate of 20p in the pound."


SUPPORT


IF resources are available, the Ri'oble Valley District Council's recreation and


leisure committee has agreed to support Clitheroe


in undertaking schemes at Roefield. These will include accom­


modation for the Ribbles- dalg Pool staff changing


rooms for the snorts pitches, and the acquisition of additional land.


Bond is here


ROGER MOORE takes on the mantle of the smoothly supercharged James Bond in “ Live and Let Die” at the Civic Hall. He lands in New Orleans in the hub of the web woven by Mr Big. who manipulates a. malevolent mystical world from the sinister Isle of Monique, to the underworld horrors of Harlem.


Also showing is a hair


hour film of the Royal wedding in colour. “ Live and Let Die ” is


retained for a second week at Regal 1 Skipton, with “ Time was the beginning ’’ as the supporting film. A dramatic struggle of 10


people to make their way up through an overturned liner forms the basis of “ The Poseidon Adventure " (Regal 2). Gregory Peck and Anne

WORKER FOR THE AGED

was born in Clitheroe and had lived in the town all her life. A former weaver, Mrs Hall was married at St Paul's Church, Low Moor, and celebrated her golden wedding anniversary’ four years ago. Mrs Hall is survived by


her husband. Tevil, a keen pigeon fancier, and by three married children. The funeral service takes


place at St Paul's, today, followed by interment at Clitheroe Cemetery.
