HEAD p o s tm a s te r at Clitheroe, Mr Rob Wilson, gave members of the town’s Probus Club an account of his experiences in the Post Office, which he joined as a messenger boy in 193S. His starting wage of 8s. 6d.
was more of a training allo wance,. as he was taught a variety of jobs including those of sorting clerk, telegraphist and counter clerk. He stoutly defended the
• tions and deliveries, claiming, that it would be a viable service if left to do its job without Interference. Mr Wilson was thanked by
policies of the Post Office on such things as second class post and curtailment of collec-
Clitheroe’s former head post master, Mr Walter McColl. The next meeting will be on November 19th, when Mr Bill Griffiths, of Blackpool, will speak on the work of St Dunstan’s.

YFC BONFIRE
BACKRIDGE FARM, Waddington, was the venue for Clitheroe and district Young Farmers’ annual bonfire. Several girl members
helped to make a hot-pot supper, and a vote of thanks to farmer Mr R. Drinkall and his wife was proposed by Richard Whitwell and Ian Bullock. A business meeting followed.
A RIMINGTON farmer who acquired a .22 rifle was fined £40 by Clitheroe magistrates for not having a. firearms certificate. Brian Oliver (37), of Wytha
FINED £40
Farm, said he obtained the rifle because crows had become a nuisance. Ho intended applying for a licence but kept putting it off because of pressure of work. He had no ammunition for
the gun, which he had owned for only two weeks, and in that time it had been securely fastened up.
