Oil leak spoils Guides’ outing on the canal


IT was a case of all hands on deck when a canal barge taking 40 Clitheroe Guides along the Lancaster Canal on Saturday sprang an oil leak.


TRIXIE GOES HOME


AFTER roaming the streets of Clitheroe for nearly nine months, a lonely black and white mongrel dog has at last been rounded up and re­ stored to its owners, thanks to the efforts of the town’s Friends of Fur and Feather group.


First seen in the Whalley


Road area, the dog defied all attempts to capture it — untii, that is, a few days ago when the Friends decided to have a last go at discover­


ing its identity. So although previous


schemes to sedate Fido had proved unsuccessful, eight members, accompanied by a representative of Altham animal shelter, set out armed with drugged doggy


food. A chilly 90-minutc wait


was at last rewarded when the renegade hound was spotted in Whalley Road and took the '‘bait.’’ As the dog fell unconscious, Fur and Feather members were at last able to examine the tally on its collar. Said their chairman Mrs


Ida Gradwell, of Pimlico Road, Clitheroe: “The first thing we discovered was that it was in fact a bitch, called Trixie. The tally also pave an address in Bamford Crescent. Accrington. “Naturally we got in touch


with the owners and they were delighted to hear that Trixie had been found,” she added. "They had owned her since she was a puppy. But she disappeared last Sep­ tember and despite extensive inquiries they had been un­ able to trace her." Trixie's owner Mr Harry


Jackson and his family were overjoyed to see their pet again. “She disappeared just after we moved to Accrington from Oldham," he said. “We have no idea


why she headed for Clith- ero'e, but we had given up all hope of seeing her again." The family had owned 12-vear-old Trixie since she was a puppy. She was still


in good health when she re­ turned home, thanks to anxious Whalley Road resi­ dents who had made sure she


got a regular supply of food. Said Mr Jackson: “Trixie is obviously very pleased to be home but we will be keeping a closer eye on her in the future."


A RECOMMENDATION to support a drama festival In 1975 has been made by Ribble Valley Recreation and Leisure Committee, which has elected Coun. James Fell. Coun. Mrs Jean Vickers and Coun. Miss Agnes Melllng to serve on tire festival committee.


Wins the Captain’s prize


MRS C IC E L Y HAR­ GREAVES won the Lady Captain's Prize with a score of 87-18-69 at Clitheroe Goll Club. A nine-hole competition

"petition was won by Mrs "Doris Hindle after a play­


off with M . J e a n Huddle­ ston on a score of 34. Target golf brought a

During the pnzegiving,


Guides waited ’ patiently aboard for about 50 minutes while the leak was repaired. Putting their training into practice, several of them jumped ashore to turn the barge round, ready to sail back to a bridge where the coach was waiting.


There was no panic and


croe Parish Church and SS Michael and John’s, took the incident in good part and sat on the deck in the sunshine eating their lunch during the wait. Boarding the barge at


Lancaster, they should have sailed to Galgate, but be­


cause of the breakdown the journey had to be shortened. Once off the boat, the


two companies had joined forces on an outing, but all agreed that in spite of the Incident, the occasion was


a great success.


Old folk flock to collect tokens


CLITHEROE pensioners and others qualifying for bus tokens turned out in force this week to collect their a l l o c a t i o n . Distribution centre is the civic hall, and to cut down waiting the Ribble Valley C o u n c i l devised an alphabetic timetable, but folk arrived in droves.


On the whole, however,


the distribution has gone well. Clitheroe is the last area to receive tokens, the allocation being £5 a head —£1 less than in the rest of the valley because the town has a free bus service.


Cost to the ratepayers of


the scheme for the whole of the valley is about £25.000 a year.


The tokens can be used


on Ribble and other buses which are part of the National Bus Company: in the area of Pendle District Council which uses the same tokens and is served by Burnley, Colne and Nelson Joint Transport, an'd on British Rail.


Said the Borough Treas­


urer’s Department: ” A per­ son could use all the tokens at once to travel, say, to Bournemouth."


Today (Thursday) is the


last day for collecting tokens at the Civic Hall, 10 a.m. to 12 and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Afterwards the tokens can be collected at the council's information office in Church Street from next Monday.

GOODS worth about £700 have been stolen by burglars who entered a shop in Pendle Road, C l i t h e r o e ' some time between June


25th and 26th. The items included shoes,


clothing and towels, and among the brand names were Peter England. Meri­ dian, Knitcraft, Vyclla, Botany and Mansfield. It is probable that a vehicle was used, and the

Critic of meeting date


A MEETING on tourism, at which the Ribble Valley Council was invited to be represented, should have been delayed so that repre­ sentatives could be demo­ cratically elected. This was the view ex­


pressed at Ribble Valley Recreation and Leisure Com­ mittee by Coun. James Fell. Chief e x e c u t i v e Mr Michael Jackson explained


that as there was so little time before the meeting, held at the town hall yes­ terday, Coun. Mrs S. J. Dow, Coun. F. Singleton, Coun. J. Blackburn and Coun. R Turner had been asked to attend. " It is rather Jumping the


gun to appoint people to committees without recourse


to the council," said Coun.


Fell. It wns proposed that the

appointed from the Recrea­ tion and Leisure Committee, In addition to Couns. Black­ burn and Turner. Couns, Fell and Terence Yates were elected.

What improvements


in efficiency have come from the local govern­ ment reorganisation? Do the councillors


consider that an in­ crease of 55 per cent, is acceptable and, if not, will they reduce dras­ tically their expenditure

Said association secretary


Mr Keith Garside: “ AH members of the public who are interested in the rates problem are welcome to attend this meeting at which they will be able to hear what has happened so far and to express their

from the county council that the school is to be reopened next month after extensive renovation, and they will again be able to use the rehearsal and staging facili­ ties they previously enjoyed. Said publicity officer Mrs


Mary Jackson: ” To mark our return we plan to give a public reading of ’ Under Milkwood ’ on Saturday, September 7th. Auditions and a preliminary reading will take place on the pre­ vious Tuesday and anyone interested in taking part in this or other ventures is invited to contact any com­ mittee member." The Players’ next full-


length production will be “ The Little Hut," to be pro­ duced by Mrs Dorothy Duck­ worth and staged for four nights beginning November


13th. Mrs Jackson said they had


been granted use of the school for rehearsals on two nights a week for six weeks before the play opens. They will also be able to construct scenery' on 10 days before­

were very pleased with the arrangements made by the county council.

they do not want the bus using their narrow avenues and endangering children, and the elderly or infirm do not want a long walk to the


bus stop. Windsor Avenue and Bal­


moral Avenue have both submitted petitions to the


council. "We can go on writing petitions tor ever,


said Mr Jackson. "There has already been

buses. We would bo happy for them to continue back­ ing up Conway Avenue as they have done for 30-odd


years.” He said that residents ap-


pcared to be returning their questionnaires hut not with-


out grumbles. " What we object to is


the way it’s been done. It just seems like a sop to keep us quiet. People are getting impatient.” Mr Johnston raid there


was no chance of reverting to the three-point turn into Conway Avenue. Formerly bus drivers had conductors to help them reverse, but now one-man vehicles were


the norm. The present route was


considered safer. 'J 110


roads arc a lot wider than many of the country t^nes that Ribble run down with


safety," he noted. Mr Johnston agreed that


a Garnett Road terminus


would be hard on old folk. Construction of a, turning circle would not take lone, but finding the money and


gaining approval would. " The present economic climate and restrictions on public expenditure mean that even the most essential projects are being delayed,


he said. "We are doing our best . .


to find out what the resi­ dents really want and it >s for the council to try to sift through the replies and come to a decision which is in the best interests of tlie community as a whole.”
