FURNISHING DEPARTMENT MOOR LANE, CLITHEROE


AFTER a few' weeks fighting the winds and


, rain of Mull, it has been, good to be back among the more modest skyline. of Pendle, Staple Oak and Mellor Knoll. : . The journey south took us\


by way of the tree-lined Loch Lomond to Glen Falloch.and Luss, where the autumn tints. were at their most magnifi­ cent— two weeks earlier than in this part of-the world.


But as we revelled in tho


splendours of this - autumn show, which when seen in sunshine bewilders the imagi­ nation, our, thoughts often turned towards tho fate of the elms at home. What a serious threat, it is


tryside devoid of elms. Most people take these and


other trees for granted!-it is ■not until you have witnessed a .land barren of trees that you-; appreciate their worth. It is the same with most things in. life — you do not appreciate what you accept as normal until it begins to .vanish. Sans , eyes, sans tooth, sans every-


• thing is - a painful reminder. that familiarity leads to con-,


tempt. As we know, trees have far


•more value than merely to , give pleasure to the eye and solace to the mind. A coun­ tryside without them is a desert with no more than a minimum of wildlife. r -- • We cannot lay the blame on •


to our heritage, and what a gloomy prospect is .a coun­


nature or explain it as an act of God, for we are not without : blame ourselves — much of the responsibility must surely rest with those who, by accir . dent or intent, have treated our trees with p. degree bor-: dering on contempt. . .


Consider f irst how. we


encourage the'spread of any scourge.-Note how any tree, be it pruned by'the expert or the - layman, is - treated with


; gross indifferenco. The tree is certainly a, live body, and. as susceptible - to foreign influ- ence as is the human frame. Consider.when any tree is to receive a trimming. With little consideration a limb is sawn off and the raw open wound left to heal as best it can. The naked area is open to the ele­ ments and a variety of insects always eager to find a suitable host in which to lay their eggs.


• As you go around the coun-: try, just observe the number of hastily sawn-off limbs giv-,


ring-free access to these wood boring beetles. This certainly


• hastens death-and also gives, the insects a wonderful means of propagation. .


- .■■■■■ All this could quite easily be


: avoided. I do know, for exam-;,, p ie o f one Government authority which stipulates that all severed branches should either, be treated, with.


Stockholm tar or a similar pre-y, s e r v a t i v o 1to p r e v e n t , unnatural decay.


Elm an’d ash arc particu-,


larly prone to these wood- boring insects, which leave* their-nefarious patterns of attack beneath the bark. The beetle responsible for elm disease is one which tunnels .


: along the inner layer of the ; bark. • , - ■ •■


* . v--. ■ Strip off the bark of adead


elm - and- the wood borer’s elaborate pattern is revealed. These are the work of the female beetle. After boring an entrance through the bark, She begins to excavate,a main galle ry along which: she deposits, at Intervals, her - eggs;The progeny, on hatch-.


■ jng, soon gnaw side tunnels . away from the main one pro­ vided by the female.


ous proportionsDi.it the devas­ tation came to an end as sud­ denly as it began:

course,- this, devastating elm disease is not a new creation


interested.in insect life have for ages been, familiar .with the tell-tale signs by Kibble and Hoddcr. ■


Fortunately many, of .these “plagues” are restricted ' to


'cycles, due no doubt to clima­ tic conditions suitable to the species of insect.-.You will recall how.in many hedgerows a couple of years ago the e rm in e moth defoliated enormous - stretches of our wayside hawthorns and other


- bushes.-- 1 ■ At timeB it was thought the. attacks would assume danger-


, Half a century ago it was


discovered that the elm bark- beetles were not attracted to the sap of the host elm tree. If, a flow of sap was produced the larvae died. This remedy was then in use in many parts of France in order to combat the spread, of the disease. .-


- Whatever the outcome we can be sure of one thing— our own countryside will be far


less colourful and by no means as attractive when devoid of the glories of the elm which Keats described as those green robed senators of the mighty wood. •

Christmas Day on the beach for the Jacksons


TEN years ago, when their eldest son Tony emigrated to New Zealand with his wife Sheila and two children; Mr Frahcis Jackson and his wife — also Frances — promised that on retirement they would visit them for a long holiday.


Now that day has come. Mr


Jackson has “wound-up” his bobbin business in Kirkmoor Road, Clitheroe, and he and his wife are eagerly prepared to fiy out on Monday for a leisurely six-month' stay! at Massey, in Auckland. ■


Mr Jackson is in the. happy \


position of being assured of orders if he decides to re-open his business when he returns, Although he and his-wife


are looking forward to explor­ ing a new country, the nicest part of the holiday will be to see the family again. Their son is senior partner n his own foundry and


engineering firm which, with ' Clitheroe in mind, is called Castle Products;


' . The grandchildren are Mal­


colm, who is nearly 20, and Lesley, who has-just .cele­ brated her 21st birthday.. Les­ ley is the only one of the family to have been back to


Clitheroe for a holiday. Living near to'the coast on


North Island, it is not surpris­ ing that the family’s main recreations are boating, fish­ ing, surfing, and water skiing, and Mr and Mrs Jackson are looking forward, to being taken on sailing trips. They have timed the holi­


day perfectly — summer is just beginning in New Zea­ land and it will be spring here when they return. Christmas Day will prob­


ably be spent on the beach, New Zealand style, and Mr and Mrs Jackson are also look­ ing forward to seeing the sights on both North and South Island. : The families have corres­ ponded every week without

All the rage


PILGRIMAGES to the Holy Land seem all the rage next year — for-in addition to the one belngi planned in July by Clitherpe vicar the Rev.. John Hudson, , the priest-in-charge


at Pendleton is hoping to take a party in September. The Rev.' John Cole, who is


also communications officer for the Blackburn Diocese, needs at. least 16 people in order to arrange a two-.wcek trip, leaving on September 4th. '


- - . The first week will be spent


in the pld city of Jerusalem, with visits to Bethlehem; the Mount of Olives and the Holy Sepulchre, before going on to Tiberias for another week. The total cost, including air


travel, hotel accommodation, meals.and excursions, works out at £234 a head. -

“Jerusalem in the main is

Mr Cole, who once spent a


month studying at St George’s College in Jerusalem, is


interested to see whether the . city — under Jordanian rule when he was last there — has


'changed now that the Israelis are in control.


“I know a good deal about


the holy places and the way of life, and I would like to find out if the changes have affected the character and vit­ ality of Jerusalem,” he said. Anyone wanting futher

A FAREWELL TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT


A RIBBLE VALLEY coun­ cillor who has been a dedi­ cated servant to local govern­ ment for the past 38 years has


i t f i


decided not to seek re-election next May. “.It’s about time I made way


for a younger person,” 69- year-old Coun. Tom Rushton


. told the Advertiser and Times this week.


> “I have so many other vol­


untary commitments at the present that I just don’t have the ,time one needs to be a go-ahead, campaigning coun­ cillor these days.” \ Coun. Rushton; of Chat-


bum Road) .Clitheroe, will be sad to give up his council work, for he has.enjoyed every aspect of it throughout his long and certainly varied, career. “I strongly believe that


councillors should giye their services to the community without having to be paid,”


said Coun. Rushton, who i s - one of the few Ribble Valley members not to claim any attendance allowance.


. Coun. Rushton, who is mar-,


ried with two married sons, was the first full-time clerk, and chief financial officer to


- the now defunct Clitheroe Rural District Council, which he served for 33 years. ; Ho was successful at the


• inaugural elections of the Rib­ ble Valley Council in April 1973, and was * appointed to serve on the Finance and Gen­ eral Purposes and Planning and Transportation Commit­ te e s and the Development Sub-Committee. , Coun Rushton’s voluntary


commitments , which he intends to continue include •being honorary, secretary of


St James’s Parochial Church Council. He is also a sidesman at the church and one of the trustees of the patronage.


-.- He belongs to the Rotary Club of Clitheroe, where he is a member of the vocational s e r v ic e s committee and archivist; he is a committee member, of Calderstones Hos­ pital. League of Friends, vice-


■ chairman of Clitheroe and dis­ trict Probus Club, clerk to the governors of Clitheroe Royal Grammar School and a member of the Old Clithero- nians’ Association executive. As. if that wasn’t enough to


keep - him occupied,. Coun. Rushton is. also deputy, addi­ tional registrar, of marriages. After coping .with all those clubs and committees, he also enjoys reading and motoring.
