under attack for not creat­ ine the utopia expected or them, but it was only natural that schools should have .their problems.

said that after a temporary drop in numbers it was again full, with a sixth form of 80. Wliat changes had taken place had been gradual and mostly relntcd

Mr Hood asked that the

SUPPORT As Mr Hood had said,


talks about the future of education in the town and district had gone on for 10 yours and “ some people tlr.nk we have managed that very well indeed.” Ho went on: “ I cannot


envisage a comprehensive M-tom coming into effect


before 1078. It may have to Ik? put back, but it will not be brought forward. Mr Calvert was sure that.


Mr Hood, as a member of the working party, would do evcrvthing possible to safe­ guard the interests of the Foundation, “ and I promise him every support.” The toast was proposed by Mr D. W. Jury.

comment in reply to a letter from Hurst Green hotelier and Red Rose chairman, Mr Tony Perry, setting out the reasons why the organisa­ tion did not attend last


week’s public meeting to form the committee.


Referring to the constitu­


tion of the committee, Mr Perry claimed that no ar­ rangements seemed to have been made to give industry and commercial tourist in­ terests a proper voice, and that " it would bo very diEfl-


cnlt for Ribblc Valley com­ mercial interests to get a fair hearing on a committee which is aimed to control what is their livelihood." Mr Perry added: "At tire


moment I can see no way commercially or politically


in which those concerned with tourism would iind it advantageous, useful or


worthwhile to co-operate with tlic committee as it would mean giving privi­ leged commercial informa­ tion and finding ourselves publicly lambasted at the


same time." Mr Jackson stated in


reply thill the suggested membership was not a closed list: appropriate commercial bodies would be a very welcome addition lo tiie advisory committee. He pointed out that the


public meeting took place in an amicable atmosphere,
