Two teams will make marathon 'famine' drive


AN appeal by a Clitheroe driving instructor in last week’s Advertiser and Times for two motorists to help with a sponsored drive, met with such a great response that plans have had to be revised.

Coun. Leo Wells, has agreed to start the teams on their way at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 8th, from the Town Hall.


Tidy ness is aim


THE provision of car parking areas and laybys near Hare- den in the Trough of Bowland has been included in North West Water Authority plans for the coming year. The aim of the scheme, one


of six similar projects prop­ osed for Lancashire by the authority, is to tidy up and improve existing car parking facilities on the eastern approaches to the Trough.


Name these people, says councillor


and experienced orienteers — ages ranged from 10 to 70 — in a challenge arranged as


a follow-up to a BBC TV programme filmed at the British Junior Championships and shown as part of the "Country Search” series.


A CALL for the names to be published of all those council tenants who owe rent has been made by Coun. Robert Ainsworth (Clitheroe). At a meeting of the Ribble Valley Council he expressed concern about the amount of the arrears and was supported by Coun. William Riding (Longridge) who said it was time something positive was done. However, Mr Michael Jackson, Chief Executive, cautioned against any pre­ cipitous action.

CRETE IN


CLITHEROE Naturalists had an entertaining lecture on “Crete in Spring” by Mr G. Kinder, of Nelson. They saw some fine specimens of archaeology which illustrated craftmanship of a high degree and methods of building and services that have withstood over 4,000 years of wear.

and quality of the films helped to make the lecture most enjoyable. Mr Kinder also showed many kinds of flowers growing in their natural sur­ roundings from which the modern cultivated varieties had been propagated. Mr Herd thanked Mr Kin­

ing, said that his client did not stop immediately after the accident as hd had been suffering from a stomach complaint and he knew he had to reach a toilet. The accident, said Chief Insp. Thomas Sumner, happened in King Street, Whalley.


NEARLY 100 Clitheroe Sc­ outs and Guides tested their initiative and local know­ ledge at the weekend with a scavenging hunt. Scouts from the Clitheroe Grammar School, Ribblcs- dale, SS Mary and Paul’s and First Pendle troops were


joined by Guides from the United Reformed Church company for the test. It was organised by the Pendle Scout troop leader Mr Denis Mackic and his assistant, Mr Bob Jones.


Each team was given a list of


questions to answer and tasks to • perform. Winners were the Falcon patrol of CRGS, who received a com­ pass as their prize. Runners- up were the First Pendle’s Merlin patrol with their colleagues the Hawks in third place.


Said Mr Mackie: “This was the first time we had staged an event such as this at district level and we were very pleased with the way things went. We plan to


organise more in the near future.”


A DONATION of £100 has been made to Clitheroe Physiotherapy Centre by the Clitheroe branch of ICI.
