WRITING as one in sympathy with the views expressed by Walter Briggs regarding the.’ usurping of County decisions by the parish council, I believe the solution to Whalley’s prob­ lems.can be .'found in Depart­ ment of the Environment cireular-45/75, paragraph 8. This reads: “It is important


that people should be able and know they are able to exert some influence on local deci­ sions affecting their own lives; conversely, a local authority must respond as much as possible to the views and needs of those who live within its area. "Perhaps even more impor­


tantly, the public is entitled to know the reasons for the policy decisions of its elected representatives. This two- way process of communication should lead to more informed decision-making and readier acceptance by the public of unpalatable decisions. In short, there must be ready access to full information about a local authority's activities." PAT HARPER The Square, Whalley.


Menace of ice-cream


van chimes DO we really have to bo blasted out of our homes by the volume of ice-cream bell chimes? 1 have been in villages two


or three miles from Clitheroe and been able to hear distinctly the chimes of vans in Clitlieroe. In my younger days, the ice-cream man used a small handbell. It was a pleasant sound and we never missed hearing it. I pity anyone who is on shift


work and has to sleep during the day. I do not begrudge the children their iee-eream or the firms their business, but a big reduction in decibels would be to everyone’s advantage. What does the law say—is

Posters are a hazard


BILL-POSTING'at junctions and other dangerous,places on the.Clitheroe bypass may lead to an increase in the 15 deaths already-recorded there, Coun. Robert Ainsworth: i told •. the Town Council. : • ■


‘ It was agreed-:to write to- the County Highways depart­ ment complaining about illegal: bill-posting.. The council is also to comp­


lain about untidy poster- sticking in the.Castle. Street' motor showrooms to Thwaites brewery, owners, .of. the premises. But members :have agreed,to place a notice board in a central place in the town for the use of local organisa­ tion.

YOUNG r MAY I ' congratulate Mr Musson on his informative reply to my letter?- I am well aware that these


PROTECT FUTURE OF THE


mills are occupied,'but this is because . industry has been encouraged to inves t in Clitheroe, not discouraged by objecLors and letters such as Mr Musson's. I also suggest that he compares the number of people employed in those mills in the past with those of: today. It is only natural that there is a shortage of local labour, with an estimated housing waiting list of 1,000. Mr M u s so n ta lk s of


priorities. I have no priorities all I want in Clitheroe and the Kibble Valley is a future for young people and security for the elderly. This is only possible by


encouraging industries that o f f e r ’ o p p o r tu n i t ie s in engineering, technical, elec­ tronic and other modern industries. I would like Mr Musson to explain the appa­ rent discrepancy over valu- able agricultural land. It seems to be all right to use it for residential purposes and schools. BuL the viewpoint is different when the land is to be used for industrial develop­ ment. Hurst Green school is at


present fighting for survival because of economics or is it because there are no oppor­ tunities for youngsters in the


rural areas? JOHN T. WILKINSON; Edisford Hull Cottage, Edisford Bridge, Clithcroc.

WHEN South African nurs­ ing sister Rosemary Hatlane • came to Whalley Abbey as- speeial"visitor to a MU cente­ nary celebration, her message to all guests was “khotso pula nala.” - .


Translated, that means ■ !


“peace, rain and happiness” and in the context of the. current heatwave the greet- ' ing was especially approp­ riate. - Mrs Hatlane (44) was visit­


ing the area from her home in Bloemfontein, : Blackburn’s twin diocese. Every diocese in the country has invited a representative from its,twin; to share the celebrations of the worldwide centenary, of the MU movement.


Bloemfontein, .capital of the Orange Free State, there are hardly, any trees and-, mostk days are dry and dusty." ; Mrs Hatlane, a widow, has three daughters, Delores (20),


Andrea (17) and Cynthia (16). Like their mother, they all speak English very well and


other languages............. In addition to English,'Mrs


Hatlane herself speaks North and South Sotho, .Venda, Tsonga and some Afrikaans, all of which she uses in her nursing work . at. Bloemfon­ tein’s Pelenomi Hospital. ’ At the celebratory party at


^


.Before coming to the area, _. Mrs Hatlane — whose African


: Christian name is Mamotanki ■ — attended-MU conferences in London and Derby. • ' During- her 10-day visit to


the district, - she stayed with various- people, including the Vicar of St Stephen’s, Burn-, ley;'the Rev. Ian MacMaster-


'and his wife. , Mrs Hatlane was shown


round-Glitheroe by MU Dioce­ san vice-president Mrs M.'


Prosser, - of - Clough Bank, Chatburn, and was very impressed-by, what she saw,. ‘“All the ; countryside , is so


green and . fresh,. even in weather like you are having at the moment," she said. “In


the Abbey, 220 guests from all over the diocese were greeted by Mrs Hatlane, ■ along with Blackburn diocesan.MU presi­ dent Mrsi Mavis Ray.and the Bishop of Blackburn’s wife; Mrs E. Martineau; :V.;


' ' There was time.for an infor­ mal chat in the Abbey grounds


■before a special centenary supper.

WITH water levels in the Ribble Valley ,. and elsewhere still sinking fast, a warning has been issued about the dangers of bathing in stagnant.


.rivers and lodges. Dr Peter Grime, Blackburn


' health district community medicine specialist, explained . this week that warm water in slow-running rivers was a


.perfect breeding ground for bacteria.^. “I would advise all would-be bathers to use swim­ ming pools rather than open water," he said.


Although the Ribble Valley


Councilvwill not be putting up notices on River Banks warn­


ing of this danger, Chief Environmental Health Officer Mr Peter Gladwin said it was common sense not to bathe in places where the water was low and people tended to congregate,'-such as Edisford.


The North-West Water


Authority says, however, that there is no cause for concern about water supplies in the Ribble Valley, with five months’ supply . lying in reserve for the North-West.


A few reservoirs, however,


would be vulnerable if there was no rain soon. A daily check was being kept, and the authority would not hesitate to bring in measures such as hosepipe bans if necessary.


The drought is already


taking its toll on locAl market gardeners. Lettuces have been rotting in the ground for lack of water, and root veget­ ables will grow much smaller this year unless there is rain soon.


Said Mr George Barker, of


Primrose :: Nurseries, Clilheroe: “Artificial watering isno substitute for steady rain and there may be some shor­ tages later this year unless rain comes.” :


Tlie, price of tomatoes drop­


ped dramatically from 4Gp to 30p a pound this week as the sun ripened large numbers quickly.


■ Clitheroe industries, too, . Maximum- V


have been- feeling the heat, with several factories starting and finishing their working


• days earlier to avoid the high afternoon temperatures. . The shallow Ribble waters


brought disappoinment to 100 scouts who turned up at Mitlon weir for the annual district canoe race on Monday. Tlie river was judged impass­ able, and the race was provi­ sionally rearranged for September 1st. Tlie Fairsnape Acess Area in the Forest of Bowland has been closed because of the present high fire risk.


temperature


recorded yesterday was 85 degrees Fahrenheit and the minimum 58 degrees.
