NEW MOVE
\ IN ROADS 'DISPUTE
THE Ribble Valley Council has stepped in to ensure that roads on Clitheroe’s Kenil worth Drive estate will be made up. The council has told the
builder’s surety that it will make up the roads at his expense unless he finds another contractor to do the job more economically. No date for completion of
the roads has been set, but residents* spokesman Mr David Fulton described the development as “most cheer ing.” Residents have been campaigning for two years for work on their estate to be completed. The slow progress being
made by the Electricity Board in lighting up the estate, however, is less pleasing to Mr Fulton. Since the board had the go ahead to put in street lighting . seven weeks ago, he said, it had done one week’s work and brought light to six of the 40 standards on the estate, one of which also remained illuminated during the day.

LETTERS of protest about traffic hold-ups in Station Road, Clitheroe, are being sent from Clitheroe Town Council to the police, Ribble Valley Council and Clitheroe Auction Mart. Coun. Mrs May Woodford told the council she had heard
one cause of the hold-ups was the sale of ponies along the road when pony sales were taking place inside the auction mart. Coun. Leo Wells suggested
that if long-stay parkers used other car parks, such as the one on Chester Avenue, there would be less congestion.
Busy day for the
firemen
THERE was just no rest for Clitheroe firemen on Satur day. No sooner had the fire station open day closed its dbors on the afternoon’s 300 visitors than the alarm went for a hay fire in a barn at Chatburn. Two engines set off to

tackle the blaze, but one had gone no further than the junc tion of Princess and Longsight Avenues — a few yards from the station — when it was in collision with two cars, a Volkswagen owned by Mr David Berry, of Rishton, and a Morris 1000 belonging to Mr Eric Chapman, of Shawbridge Street, Clitheroe. Fortunately no one was
hurt, and the engine, driven by George Blackburn, of Beechwood
Avenue,
Clitheroe, proceeded to Chat- burn, where the job of dous ing the blaze, in Chapel Laithe Barn, off Ribble Lane, took

End present transfer system, says FC boss
SWEEPING changes in the structure of the Football League are likely within the , next 10 years, Burnley FC chairman Mr Bob Lord told members of Clitheroe Probus Club.
. ' Mr Lord predicted that the
number of first division clubs. will soon be reduced to 16 from the present 22 and the league’s overall membership total at present 92 will also decrease.
• He warned that, with the .
current trend of falling "gates” and. higher wages for players, towns like Burnley and Blackburn will soon find their population is not large enough to support top-status clubs.
Most clubs had large over
drafts and loans but now the banks were telling them to put their houses in order. If Chelsea FC were to finish (the club is now in dire financial straits), a chain reaction could follow with many other clubs folding up.
The present system that led
to fabulous sums being paid for players could not be allowed to continue. In many cases, clubs receive only a small part of the transfer fee, the remainder to be paid in annual instalments.
He also feared the takeover
under the guise of a rescue operation of all sporting activities by the Minister of Sport of a “nationalisation- happy” government.
Mr Lord was thanked by a
lifelong friend, Mr Clarence Brown, of Clitheroe..
Chairman Mr Tom Rushton (Clitheroe) reported the death

of member Mr Fred Sharp (Clitheroe) and members observed a silence. Visitors were Mr Eric Thornber, Mr E. Efiong of Nigeria and Mr Bill Westhead, of' Georgia, USA. There were 64 members present. The next meeting, On July 16th, will be addressed by Mr Jim Heywood, of Accrington, on his war experi ences.
: It is intended to reduce the number of bedrooms, but-to provide all of them with bath rooms, to lay more emphasis on the catering side of the business, to retain two bars as

currently at the Lodore Swiss Hotel, near Keswick, where Mr Edwards is assistant manager. Mr Bowman said that the
present managers, Mr and Mrs Bill Robinson, would probably remain at the hotel in some capacity after Mr and Mrs Edwards take over.
New building will end overcrowding
THE overcrowding problems which have beset Ribblesdale School, Clitheroe, for the past few years may soon be over. A new building, accom
a state last year that the school had to use as an annexe
the former SS Michael and
modating 180 pupils, should be completed next month and equipped for use by the start of the • autumn term on September 1st. Overcrowding reached such
John’s infant school buildings in Lowergate. The 100 fourth and fifth-year pupils accom modated there will now be able to move back to the main school.
No one could be more
pleased at this move than head of general studies Mr David Bowker, who has been in charge of the annexe. “I am certainly not sorry to be going back to Ribblesdale. The conditions , for teaching at Lowergate were unsatisfac tory, especially the acoustics. “It was virtually impossible
to use audio-visual equipment and difficult to supervise the children,” he said. The new building, with six
classrooms, will be used for teaching French, domestic science and physics and for children who have opted not to take academic subjects.
C ourt House, Bolton-by- Bowland, plans to convert the eastern end of the hotel into a house for himself and his fam ily, and hopes to move in towards the end of this year. Mr and Mrs Edwards are

Free bus back on the road
A FREE bus service for C l i th e ro e pensioners is expected to be in operation again on August 3rd. Clitheroe Town Council is
to finance the service — on Tuesdays only — for a trial period until the end of this year. The council has accepted a
tender from Ribble Motor Services of £15.50 a day, so the trial period will cost over £300. The. Mayor, Coun. John
Blackburn, said that in the last few weeks of the previous, free bus service (operated by the Ribble Valley. Council), more and more people had been using it as inflation hit their pockets. He felt there would be a good demand for the service. • The bus will make four
round trips each Tuesday on each of four routes — linking th e tow n c e n t r e with C l i th e ro e Hospital and Pimlico R o a d ,' with the Littlemoor-Goosebutts area, with Whalley Road, West View and Eshton Terrace, and with Bawdlands, Low Moor and Henthorn.
Dog is a welcome guest
FOLLOWING a visit to Nuffield House, Bolton, a training centre for guide dogs for the blind, Clitheroe Trefoil Guild will welcome a blind girl, Jenny Lee, and her dog Wallace as special guests at their coffee evening tonight. About 30 members visited
one and a half hours. But at eight in the evening a
Clitheroe machine had to return to the barn, where fire had started again. A 13-year- old boy is helping police with their inquiries into tlje. blaze.
Features of the open day were. a turntable ladder
brought from Burnley and a control unit from Preston. Also on show was a vehicle from "the adjacent ambulance station. . .
