TO HAVE WEEKLY SESSION


SUCH has been the res­ ponse to Clitheroe’s new


family planning clinic which opened in Eshton Terivace in November, that the once -monthly session will be replaced by a weekly service in Februai-y. Administrator Mrs B.


Newton, said she was del­ ighted by the response. A number of patients had transferred from clinics at Padiham, Accrington and Blackburn, and were feel­ ing the advantage of not having to pay out bus fa;e.s. At each session there were new patients, and at one as

The new arrangements have come as something of


a relief to local shopkeepers, ■who were expecting harsher restrictions. As one of them put it: " At least we know wdiere we are and can now plan ahead.”


Although local industry


and commerce will continue its Monday-to-Wednesday week for the time being, it will be a case of all change at the shops, which from the week beginning Januaiy 7th will only be allowe’d to use power in the mornings, plus all day Saturday.


TIMES Pood shops — and off-


licences and pubs—continue to be exempt from the new arrangements, but—and this is important—they are not e.xempt from the separate controls on lighting and heating which ban direct- acting heaters like open elec­ tric-fires and convectors an’d ■

p.m. and 2-30 to 5 p.m. The following week; iMonday to Friday 9-30


a.m. to 12-30 p.m. Saturday (as above).

Half-day power for the shops


AS industry in the Clitheroe area starts its three-day working week on Monday, it will be a week of power on afternoons only and all day Saturday for most shops under new regulations published at the weekend.


At the firm of Kilncr,


Pornell and Moon, accoun­ tants, Mr Prank Moon com­ mented; “ The silly part is that w-e are allowed to u.se the electric typewriters and adding machines all the time, but we can’t u.se the electric light to see to work them. ’’ He said the firm would be making use of day­ light hours to work on non­


power days. A spokesman for Hillards


supennarket said that the aiTangements would make


no difference to thei r normal closing on Mondays.


The building ha’d big win­ dows and they would be relying on daylight upstairs.


HAIRDRESSERS Woolworths manager Mr


D. Prince said the store would open nor:nally, as it has emergency lighting. The new arrangements lo c a l hairdrcs.sers


give


a fetter indication of what they are allowe’d to do, com­ pared to the confusion last w'cek about whether dryers were, in fact, exempt. Secretary of the local


branch of the National Hair­ dressers' Federation, Mr


Albert Brindle. said that the regulations for electricity for halrdi-essers were now the same as those tor non­ food .shops. "This is going to affect the hairdressing tra’de very hard indeed,” he said.


At Irene’s. York Street, a


s p o k e sma n commented; " The situation is slightly better, but w'e can’t hope to get the same amount of people in and it is difficult getting in touch with cus­ tomers to change their appointments.”


To take advantage of the


regulatious, some hair­ dressers ■will be changing their working hoiu's and opening Saturda.y after­ noons.


A spokesman for Miss


Florrie Brotherton advised customers to contact their particular salon, as it would be almost impossible tor the hairdressers to get in touch with everyone in the time available.


Men give up holiday


WORKERS in at least three Clitheroe firms 'will be doing without their New Year's Day holiday so that full advantage can be taken of the first of the three-


day weeks. Following a meeting be­


for the Clitheroe area are: Thursday, Januai-j- 3rd; 7


to 10 a.m., 1 to 4 p.m., 7 to 10 p.m.


Saturday, January 5th;


10 a.m. to 1 p.m., 4 to 7 p.m., 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.


7 p.m.


Sunday, January 6th; 4 to CARRY ON


Local shopkeepers .are


showing their ingenuity in being able to continue trad­ ing at times when they are not allowed to use electri­ city. making the most of an assortment of


c a n d l e s ,


paraffin and butane lamps. Taking the long tenn view


that emergency lighting may eventuallv be made compul-


soiy in all premises used by the public, some local shops have already had systems installed.


One of them, Mr John


Cow'gill, of John Cow'gi’.l and Son, Market Place, .said that ■whi le their system was obviously not ns good as full lighting, it did mean that they could carry on.


The lack of proper light­

ing is. however, oau.sing problems for shops dealing in fabrics. At Out of Doors, Mr Peter Field said: "You can imagine how difficult it it is to distinguish between various Shades of material, but customers are being very understanding. Tliey have realised the situation and we have had a great deal of fun in the dark.”


DILEMMA Asp’den’s, the King Street


had already ended when Nancy I'eceived her tele­ gram, so only the news of Sara’s success has been announced to the school as a whole. “ I have managed to contact several members or stall to tell them about Nancy,” said Miss Bingham, “ and I shall make an announcement at the begin­ ning of next tenn."


Police seek witnesses of fatal accident


CLITHEROE police are apiiealing for witnesses of an accident in which a patient at Calderstones Hospital died on Saturday. Mrs Har rie t


Ann


McKniglit was involved in an accident with a car driven by Mr Stephen Fanisworth, of Derwent Crc.scent, Clitheroe. He was unhurt. The accident happened at


5-15 p.m. in Clitheroe Road. Pendleton, and anyone who was in the vicinity is asked to contact the police as soon as passible. A spokesman for Caldcr-


stones said: “ She was voluntary patient who was out on parole at the time.” An Inquest for identifica.


tion purposes only was opened and adjourned Accrington on Monday.

WHALLEY Brownies cer­ tainly believe that Christmas is a time for giving and. they proved it last week when they visited Blackburn Child­


ren’s Home to hand, over presents to the children. The Brownies are seen


in our picture at Whaliey School where they collec­ ted their gifts. They toerc taken to the home in the cars of parents. Together with toys


they no longer needed, the Brownies had made calendars and decorated


balls of siveets which they gave to the children. After the presentation

cycle and radio shop, have their own genei-ator, without which TV and other sei-- vioing could not continue durmg the crisis. Director Mr Ban-ie Aspden thought the new alternating-weeks system a messy one, though reasonable in the circum­ stances. Tlie implementation of


the new regulations is further confused next week because of the New Year's D.ay holidaj’. H.alf-day closing on Wed­


nesday afteriioons will .also create a dilemma for teaders w'ondering whether to stay open for their weeks of afternoon electricity. Ladies’ outfitter Mrs


Dorothy Fowicr, of York Street, said: “ I think we shall close just the same, unless the Chamber of Trade gives us .some guid­ ance to the contrary. I am not agauLst being open on the half-day, but I feel it will not make any difference to our sort of shop.” ■When they are without


electricity, Mrs Fowl er thinks the shop will prob­ ably stay open until dusk. “ We have lamps, but w'c can’t sell most of our mer­ chandise by aandJelight,


ap.art from something like a pair of tights. It would not be fair to shoppers or to ourselves.”


SILLY For offices, too, the biggest


problem will be lighting. Mr W. Greenwood, of Steele and Son, said: ” I under­ stand w'e can use electric typewriters on non-power days, but we shall have to work with calor gas and candles.”
