Heating: Concern .too late


I WAS very, interested to read in your correspondence refer­ ence to heating costs for old age pensioners. Concern for these people is a little late in the day. The National Federation of


Old Age Pensions Associa­ tions has been . putting this problem to the Ministry for years. At the end of this month our


National Executive officers will be meeting the various Ministers, including the Chan­ cellor of the Exchequer and the Minister of Health and Social Security. Heating costs will be one of the many prob­ lems discussed. As far back as the 1960s,


heating for the elderly has been on the conference agenda. The late Dr Jeffrey Taylor was the prime speaker on hypothermia during those years. . Not ju s t supplementary pensioners are in need of ade­ quate heating during the winter months. There is a grave danger to the elderly in cold weather, and food and heating should be the last items to be economised on. Personally, I believe all pen­


sioners should be paid a pen­ sion to meet all prices in the present day market, not have to depend on hand-outs.

Heed voice of people on


Riversmead


AT this moment, a movement is gaining ground with the sole object of preventing the threatened closure of Riversmead School. In fact, an unofficial referendum is taking place in the Ribble Valley, both in Clitheroe itself and, to a greater degree, in the old Bowland rural district. Dedicated people are systematically petitioning the electorate in order to present the local authority at some future date with a formidable list of objectors to the education authority’s proposal to dose Riversmead School. To a lesser degree a great


deal of effort was put into a similar exercise with the object of retaining the prim­ ary school at Lane Ends, but to no avail. The school was eventually closed and the pupils dispersed to other schools in the area. In the case of the Lane Ends closure, the Education Authority undoub­ tedly had a good main reason; the over-riding opportunity for pupils to fulfil a much wider educational role in a bigger school. B u t now t h e lo c a l


■ overwhelming majority of the electorate in the former Bow- land Area will sign the peti­ tion to try to retain Rivers­ mead School. What then of the elected representatives? Will they then heed the voice of the people, or will they

The service will operate on


Tuesday mornings and Satur- day afternoons and the County agreed to underwrite any losses it sustains. I t will run initially for a trial six- month period and must carry an average of at least five people per journey to be viable.


Committee members were,


however, shocked to hear that the County Council has stated the service must adopt the Ribble fares scale, making a single journey 43p.


Officer Mr Michael Jackson': ‘‘I am not happy to see this fare scale being adopted. I feel that this service could run on similar lines to this area’s other private service, from Clitheroe to Slaidburn, which would make the cost of a single journey about 25p.”


Said Chief Executive ■The c om m i t te e h a s

they are to ask Clitheroe Division MP Mr David Walder to support their call for an increase. The council is also to write


On this my thoughts remain a rational answer to my ques-


tion that it is primitive and wrong to get pleasure out of killing.


Such so-called pleasures are


d eb a s in g and no smoke screens, whether from the


keeper or those who partici­ pate, can effectively obscure the truth.


His remarks that all the


wonderful wild life is only in keepered areas is ridiculous. The wonderful wild life was in greater profusion long before keepers entered the natural scene. Also, is it not a fact that with all of the woods under keepers the deer can scarcely find other habitats It is also undeniable that what the keeper calls vermin is only a menace to his own particular interest.


Most important is his state­


ment on the deer shooting. Only the poor beasts are shot, he says. I wonder if he has followed the activities of the marksman in the Boltori-by- Bowland area over the last few years? Here he will find the sportman he defends hunting semi-domesticated animals which I maintain can quite easily be shot by any doddering person capable of holding a gun.


Indeed, you can at times


drive a car within 50 paces. If that is sport then I leave it to readers to find a suitable explanation. In answer to his closing paragraph, it comes as a surprise to hear of people being admitted to keepered grounds for such activities. My experience is otherwise “Keep the lot out” is nearer the truth, and no isolated inst­ ance will have me thinking othenvise. NATURALIST


sleepily nod in acquiescence when the death knell is sounded, pausing only' to receive attendance allowance as they leave the meeting? Or, will they fight tooth and nail for the wishes, nay demands, of the people who made it possible for them to sit at the table of decision? Will then the wishes of the


people be met, or will - the faceless bureaucrats who seem to revel in these things, see fit to ignore public opinion and blindly tread the path that they have previously mapped out?


• The essence of democratic society is government of the people by the people, and although this phrase has more connection with America, the same basic principle should hold in this country, the mother of the modem demo­ cratic society. So I appeal to the electorate


of the Ribble Valley, please sign the petition and force the education chiefs to turn course. If they do not, they will undoubtedly place firmly and severely another nail in the coffin of democracy. By the way. No one elected

Charitable loans


A NATIONAL newspaper today quotes the Authority of Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear, which loans ra te p a y e r s ’ money to its employees at 6 per cent, for the purchase of cars for travel to work and private purposes.


A neighbouring authority of ours actually loans money to


its employees who find travel by public services inconve- nient,at the rate of 4 per cent, for the same purpose.


This is ratepayers’ money


which is borrowed at 12 to 13 per cent. These loans are paid back by convenient deductions from their “public sector” wages, which are usually ahead of those in “private sector.”


No bus company can com­


pete and no authority can afford such charity.

intended to go, for Alan and his wife planned to use a specially converted Ford Transit van for the entire journey.


“I was just in the middle of


fixing long-distance petrol tanks when I discovered we might be liable to pay £1,200 if we were unable to take the vehicle out of India,” said Alan.


“We couldn’t afford the risk


of the van breaking down in India and losing the money. So we had a busy time making all the new aiTangements in the two weeks before.we were due to go.”


Alan, who lived in Sabden


before his marriage, was a physical education teacher at Barden School, Burnley. His wife, whose parents, Mr and Mrs John Cowman, .live in Chatburn Road, Clitheroe, taught English at Notre Dame Grammar School, Blackburn.


On their mid-Eastern tar-


vels the couple hope-to visit. Delhi, Nepal, Malaysia and Singapore. By Christmas they expect to be in Sri Lanka, where they have been invited by a student who spent his summer holidays working as a barman at the Wellsprings Hotel.


When they arrive in Au­


stralia in January, the couple will visit friends and relations in Perth and Sydney before making any definite plans.


“We have a 12-month visa,


but just what we do there depends on what is happening and where we go,” added Alan. “I don’t even know how and when we are going to get back, but it is things like this which make it such an adven­ ture for us.”


From there they will use local buses, trains and boats to reach their final destination.
