veloped at the annual meet- ting of the association at Clitheroe Conservative Club after the president, County
Alderman Basil Greenwood, 0f whalley and officers had
left the platform following a dispute over who, among ■those present, was entitled to be there.
But almost 100 people, mainly from Padiham stayed, voted to carry on and elec ted new officials, These were: Chairman, Mr
Walter Dugmore, of Higham Road, Padiham; treasurer, Mr Phillip Lockwood, chair man of Padiham branch, of Henning Avenue, Accrington.
Vice - chairman: Coun.
Denis Hanson, of Woodlands Grove, Padiham, Mr Ernest Ashworth and Mrs Dugmore, of Padiham, and Mrs M. J. Flint, of Burnley.
NO RIGHT Mr Lockwood, a former
Padiham councillor, said afterwards that the associa tion had been run by people from Whalley for almost 50 years, and that when they saw they were going to be outvoted on Friday they walked out of the meeting.
"We maintain that the ■president had no right to
adjourn the meeting without first putting it to the people there. “ If he thinks lie is the

over the country to work in France during the tourist season. "Each year B a r c l a y s
International takes girls from its English branches to help during the tourist season in Paris and the main French resorts,” she said. “ I will be spending four months from June to September at the main branch in Paris. My work will probably be as a cashier dealing with the tourists, but I shall have as many French customers as English ones.” Miss Spurgeon applied in
January to go to France and was chosen after an interview in London. In preparation for the job she spent last week at Barclays Manchester branch specialis ing in foreign exchange. Though . bank opening hours are longer in Paris,
from 8-45 a.m. to 5 p.m., the weekends will still be free. ” I’d like to go sightseeing in Paris, of course, and out in the surrounding country side as well," she said.
"But I hope I can come
back to Clitheroe after wards. I quite enjoy domes tic banking, and I have no desire to get away from it
at..the moment."
Anomaly over burial rights
RESIDENTS of Little Mitton are “ foreigners” where the right of burial in Whalley Cemetery is concerned. They did have a right to burial in Whalley church yard before It was closed, but the right was not transferred to the new burial ground, it was said at Whalley Parish Council meeting. Mr J. Holden, clerk, said
he had received a letter pointing out the anomaly.
Little Mitton people were not within the ecclesiastical parish, he said, and that was the reason why they had no right of burial in the cemetery.
The matter had come up
for discussion because some one had had to pay "foreign” funeral expenses and this was felt to be unfair.
A TOP BRASS BAND

bands is provided by tlie visit of the CWS Band to the Civic Hall on Sunday.

Coun. J. H. Fell said the
docs not have a parish council. It does have a parish meeting but one has not been called for years be cause no one will be chair man or clerk. It is for the parish to hold a meeting and request burial rights in the new cemetery. A final de cision would rest with the County Council. ”
The chairman, County Aid.
Basil Greenwood, noted that any change of the rules of the Whalley and Wiswell Burial Committee would need Home Office sanction.
has received a letter from Mr Vic Wood, director of Tomlinson's Funeral Ser
Clitheroe Rural Council
vice calling attention to the anomaly. In reply the council says
Whalley and Wiswell people pay an additional rate, part of which is used for the up keep of the joint burial ground. Little Mitton people do not and therefore resi dents have to pay the ap propriate additional l'ee. The council added: “ After the reorganisation of local government it may be op portune to combine the parish of Little Mitton with one or more adjoining parishes. ”
