New site sought for industry
THERE is no real opposition to the proposed siting of industrial development in Chipping — provided it is kept away from the village centre. • This was the view put parish council meeting to seek
forward by Chipping Parish C ou n c i l to Mr Timothy Cawkill, the Ribble Valley Council’s Countryside Officer. Mr Cawkill, who attended a
members’ views, said that the Ribble Valley authority is now looking for a new site more acceptable than the one in Club Row that it had first earmarked for development. The fo rm e r Tw e ed y ’ s
foundry site had been c^nM- dered but was turned down because it was too far from the village and was scheduled for housing. Coun. Peter Stott said the
parish council welcomed industry in the area, but with reservations. They did not wish to see a large building complex in the village but on the other hand they could not see anyone opening a business with no prospect of expansion. Villager Mr W. Robinson
was concerned that industry would increase traffic in Windy Street. Another resi dent, Mr G. Beesley, thought the plans were “Pie in the s k y .” Chipping, he said, already had more than enough industry. Chairman Coun. Matt

Huddleston, summing up, said his council was not opposed to industry, as long as it avoided the village itself.

, T h e 9 -4 5 a .m . H o ly Communion will be said with out sermon, ending at 10-30 a.m., when Sunday school finishes.
Y O U N G S T E R S in the Clitheroe area need no longer complain of having nothing to do on Saturday evenings, thanks to the help of two local people.
Mr Andy Massey , and Miss
Cathy Bridge decided to organise weekly discos for children who have nowhere to
go at weekends in Clitheroe. Explained Cathy: "There is very little entertainment for those aged between 10 and 16,
so. we thought we would try and help.” ' They plan to run the disco
for two more weeks at the Parish Church Hall to see what response there is. And judging from the success of the first on Saturday; which
attracted about 200 youngs ters,the discos will be a popu lar attraction.
These children, pictured
with disc jockey Johnny Phil lips, certainly seem to be enjoying themselves.

Villagers make jubilee plans
PREPARATIONS for Whalley’s royal jubilee celeb rations next-year were set in motion at 'a: public meeting in the GE school on Monday night.
A five-strong committee
Re-connected electricity
ADMITTING re-connecting, the electricity supply at his h om e , William Norman Parkinson (26), of Carlton. Place, Clitheroe, was fined £10 by Clitheroe magistrates for dishonestly using electric-, ity. A prison sentence of six months, suspended for two years, was also imposed. In a statement,. Parkinson
said Norweb .sent him a bill for a large amount and three weeks later he received another large bill. He could not pay because he was out of work. He had an 18-month-old • son and needed hot water, which could only be obtained by using the electricity supply. Chief Insp. Thomas Sumner
told the magistrates that-the supply was disconnected because of the arrears. When the house was revisited a short time afterwards a further Glp worth of electric ity had been used.
PROGRESS ON ALLOTMENTS
ALLOTMENTS at the rear of the Waggon and Horses H o t e l , P im l i c o R o a d , C l i th e r o e , which were recently acquired by the Town Council, should be in use within a couple of weeks. . Members were told that sheds and greenhouses would have to be of a uniform type, with a maximum size of 8ft. by 6ft. Clerk Mr Leslie Telford
said he was waiting for a reply from the Ribble Valley Coun cil about the possibility of leasing some land at Upbrooks for allotments.
was set up to oversee what villager Mr-Basil Greenwood said should be like “a jolly good party” -,to mark ■ the Queen’s silver jubilee.
The five are parish council
chairman Mr Arthur West- well, clerk: Mr Jim, Holden,' two representatives of Whal- ley Lions, and Mr Brian Whit-: taker. Thier job will be to set the preparations in motion and co-ordinate the many different ideas being put forward. A wide variety of suggestions was made by the 30 villagers at the meeting.
- Among them were a proces-
sion, a fell race, a sherry evening, a fancy dress ball, a
.bonfire on the Nab, ox- roasting, a’ country market, a tea party for senior citizens, and presentation mugs for the children of the village.
, It was also suggested that
Whalley Cricket Club, chil dren’s sports day could be included in the celebrations. It was agreed that events should be concentrated on the Bank Holiday weekend of June 4th to 7th.
Mr Westwell said that
public spending on the Jubilee had to be kept to a minimum, so some fund-raising would be necessary to cover expenses.
It was decided that a small
committee would be able to work more quickly and effi ciently than a large one with representatives of all the village’s organisations.
Lakeland
A FILM show and commen tary entitled “Reflections of Lakeland” was given to Edis ford Ladies’ Club by Mr J. R ick a rd . Thanks w e re expressed by Mrs V. Knott. The Christmas party will be held on December 14th.

All set for festival of youth
TWO young Clitheroe Scouts who took part in-the annual River Ribble canoe race.will' be telling the tale of how they “shot the rapids” for a long time to come. Ian Fielding, of the First
Pendle troop, and David Tyson, of Loyola, became the centre of a dramatic incident when their canoes were trap ped among rocks at Sale Wheel, a notorious danger spot near the race’s Ribches- ter finish. Abandoning ship, David
and Ian found themselves precariously balanced on a small rock, with water gush ing around them. But help was soon at hand, thanks to Ian’s brother Duncan (First Pendle) and Venture Scout Duncan Eglin. Sixteen-year- old Duncan Eglin, who was a marshall, manoeuvred his canoe alongside so that the lads could clamber aboard and then ferried them to safety. Meanwhile, the other
Duncan, sacrificing his race winning chances, jumped into the water and freed one of the ca n o e s . The other was jammed and had to be aban doned. However, Duncan lent one
of the “shipwrecked"'youngs- ters his own canoe so both boys could finish the course.
DISCO. IS AN INSTANT . SUCCESS
Also helping in the rescue w e r e m a r sh a l ls P h i l ip Greatorex (Ribblesdale) and Paul Tomkins (Venture Scouts) who salvaged paddles and. other equipment. Ironically the race, for the
Alban Snape trophy, had been postponed twice because of
la c k o f w a te r . T h ir ty canoeists took part in the ra ce , organised by. First Pendle group, leader Mr Tony Capewell, assisted by other Scout leaders': Mr Capewell is seen in our picture briefing the Scouts before the race. Ian Fielding, one of those rescued, is pictured centre front. The trophy was won by
First Pendle with nine points, followed by Loyola and Chip ping (five each), St Mary’s (four) and Ribblesdale (three). Individual awards — 11 and
12 years: M. Bentley (Loyola), P. Hogg (Ribblesdale), B. S. Kay (Chipping). 13 and 14 years: P. Eglin and S. Dent (Pendle), A. Carpenter (SS Mary and Paul’s). 15 years: D. McLeod (SS Mary and Paul’s), K. Ferguson (Chipping), J, Harrison (Chipping), M. Hart- lebury (Loyola). 16 and over:
,E. Moulding, D. Heane, D. Preston (Chipping).
RAISE £80
BONFIRE night certainly brought a bit of sparkle to Ribblesdale Wanderers Cric ket Club on Friday. More than 250 went to see
the firework display, which was organised by the cricke ters, and about £80 was raised for club funds. The women on the committee, who’ helped to organise the event, were kept busy all evening, preparing suppers of pie and peas. As a safety precaution, all
the fireworks brought by children were lit by adults.
School to stage a
hook fair
CLITHEROE Royal Gram mar School’s hall is to take on the role of a bookshop for an afternoon next week. On Wednesday, the hall will
be the scene of ,a book fair, thought to be the first of its kind in the town. On sale will be a wide range of reading m a t t e r , p r o vi de d by Clitheroe’s Kaydee Bookshop. The books will be laid out on
stalls manned by members of staff, sixth-form pupils and employees of the Kaydee. The fair is the idea of English teachers Mr Garth Sutcliffe and Mr Peter Houldsworth, who is head of the depart ment. Mr Sutcliffe said the aim is
to interest as many people as possible and give them a chance to buy books as Christ mas presents. “Books ranging from Noddy
annuals to ones on nuclear physics will be on display," said Mr Sutcliffe. “The money from sales will go to the Kaydee but we are hoping we might get a couple of new books for the school library,” he added. The fair is being publicised
through all schools in the Ribble Valley and the organis ers are hoping for a big attendance. “ It’s not just open to pupils
and their parents,” said Mr Sutcliffe. “Anyone who wants to come in and have a look through the stalls will be welcome.” The fair starts at 2 p.m. and lasts until about 9-30 p.m.
