' A WALK ’ BY THE RIBBLE


A QUARTET of heron was spotted by Clitheroe Natural­ ists on th e ir walk by the River Kibble on Saturday.


f Led by Mr Richard Blades, a party of 20 s e t out from H u rs t Green to the river, via P a rk e r Well and Raid Deep Wood. Their walk upstream took.them to Jumbles, where the Jumbles rocks are exposed in th<p river, and on towards the confluence of th e Caldor and Kibble. They passed Hodder Foot,


where the waters of the Hod­ d er join the Ribble, continu­ in g via Winkley Hall and Spring Wood back to Hurst Green and then back by Edis- ford to Clitheroe. • Other features noted by the


p a r ty w e re wild berberis, bracken and ladybird galls, and a profusion of ladybirds on the grass. The next nature walk, on


August 2nd, will go to Beacon Fell and Broekbottoms by pri­


vate coach, leaving from the station a t 1 p.m. Members wishing to* go arc advised to give th e ir names to Mr R. Bleazard in good time.


Mortgage scheme closed


PEOPLE who arc thinking of o b ta in in g house mortgages from th e Ribble Valley Coun­ cil are out of luck. This year’s allocation has been used up and the-best they can do will be to ap p ly to a building society. Mr Ronald Pickup, of the


Borough Treasurer’s Depart­ ment, told the Housing Com­ mittee th a t the council’s mort­ gage scheme lias been closed until next April. The reason fo r this is a change in Govern­ ment policy. Local councils have been


pegged back to half the total amount they loaned last year,


. Ribble Valley’s figure being £17,000. In a report to the commit­


t e e , Mr G o rd o n Onslow, Borough Treasurer, says th a t


a s th e council had already given mortgages amounting to this figure, the Department of th e E n v iro nm en t is being asked for an extra £18,000 to honour fu r th er commitments


already entered into before Whitehall changed its mind. L oans fo r th e repair or


improvement of houses are not affected by the new policy an d will c o n t in u e to be,


available as in the past. n


Warning to owners


d o g


A WARNING to dog owners not to allow their animals to worry sheep was given by


C litheroe magistrates when J o h n O lle rto n , of N e s to n


' Road, Walshaw, Bury, was fined £15. Insp. Derek Gregory, pro­


secuting, said the dog was s e e n on S id d ow s F a rm , Henthorn, chasing sheep and lambs. The farmer shot the dog in


the face and, a f te r following it to the Edisford Caravan Site, sent for th e police. Ollerton was also fined £5


for keeping a dog without a licence. He told the court th a t the animal had never worried sheep before.. I t had been des­ t ro y e d because he couldn’t afford the risk of such a thing happening again.


TOO FAST


FOR exceeding a 40 in.p.h. speed limit in a van, David Martin Watson (21), of High- f ie ld Road, Clitheroe, was fined £15 and had his licence endorsed by Clitheroe magis­ trates . Watson, who pleaded guilty, was said by Chief Insp. Thomas Sumner to have dri­ ven on Sawley Brow, Sawley, a t 58 m.p.h. In a le t te r to the c o u r t , Watson said he had b e en o v e r ta k in g a slower- moving vehicle and did not re a l is e what speed he was doing.


A WEST BRADFORD farm was turned into a camp and ran g o u t with th e sound of happy voices a t th e weekend.

Headmaster’s talk on


Middle Ages M EM B E R S o f C l i th e ro e Probus Club hoard a talk on p h y s io lo g y in th e Middle Ages, from Mr Gerald Hood, headmaster of Clitheroe Boys’ Grammar School. Mr Hood said th a t there


was a great deal of preoccupa­ tion with physiology in the Middle Ages, which coincided w ith th e r is e of character s tu d i e s in S h ak e sp e a r ian


tragedies. People at the time, said Mr


Hood, believed in the exist­ ence of four basic properties which combined to produce the four elements — fir?, air, water, and earth. Three virtues controlled the


life in a human body. The “animal” controlled muscular functions, the ‘'natural” con­ trolled the passions, and the “vital” controlled man’s life force. Mr Hood was thanked by


Mr G. Wrigley (Bolton-by- Bowland), a representative of the Old Boys’ Association on the School Council. Mr K. Williamson, presid­


i n g , i n t r o d u c e d a new member, Mr L. Normington.


Former ly in the Blackburn Probus Club, be now resides in Clitheroe. A t th e n ex t meeting on
