TRINITY Methodist Church minister the Rev. Norman D. Walton will spend six weeks in Georgia, USA, as part of an “ exchange pasto rate” which will bring an American clergyman to Clitheroe. The exchange takes place
this summer, when Mr Wal ton and his wife Mary travel to Cuthbert, Georgia, where
.they will stay at the home of the town’s Methodist minis ter, the Rev. William T. Greer. Mr Greer will come to
MR WALTON
Clitheroe for the same period, and the two men will carry out the respective duties of their new circuits for six weeks.
USA exchange visit for clergyman
This type of exchange —
supervised by the World Methodist Council — is fairly common and ministers throughout Britain have made similar journeys for some time.
Mr Walton’s . “voyage of
discovery” will start when he flies to New York on June 21st. From there he and his wife will travel on the fam ous Greyhound buses down the East coast stopping at, am o n g o th e r p la c e s , Washington DC.
A detailed programme for
Mr Walton’s stay in Cuth bert has not yet been final ised, but he expects to have a number of speaking arrange ments. “I don’t really know at
this stage what type of Sunday services I’ll be con ducting,” said Mr Walton. “The idea of the exchanges
is to cement a good relation ship between the churches of the two countries. But it won’t be all work and no play — I hope to see some of the surrounding areas and meet the people.” Mr Greer and his wife,
Fann, and their two children will be staying at “The Manse”, Somerset Avenue — home of Mr and Mrs Walton — d u r in g 'th e ir 'stay in
- Clitheroe. A detailed programme has
not been finalised for him y e t , but his duties will
, mainly involve Sunday ser- vices. His stay in Clitheroe includes the holiday weeks, so there will only be a limited opportunity for speaking engagements. The'exchange will come to
an end when both ministers return home on August 2nd.

SEWERAGE charge refunds are being made so complicated by the Water Changes Bill currently passing through Parliament that the Ribble Valley Council, may have to take , on extra staff to calculate the amounts due, says Borough Treasurer Mr Gordon Onslow.

Valley’s 16,000 rate demands will be going out late this year as a result, and another of the Bill’s provisions means that many ratepayers will receive less than the full sewerage charge they might have expected in rebate. Mr Onslow criticises the Bill - expected to become law by

next Thursday — as “creating administrative problems the cost of which will far exceed the benefit to individual ratepayers.” He says that the continual
stream of new legislation is posing endless problems for the Ribble Valley authority, which is still feeling the effects of local government amalgamation. The Bill will authorise the
refund of sewerage charges paid in 1974 and 1975 for prop erties not connected to the main sewer, but such proper ties become due for a nominal general service charge back dated to 1974. For 1976 and the future,

there will be just two levels of general service charge: for properties with sewerage (10.62p in the pound for the Ribble Valley this year), and without sewerage (0.23p).

LOCK UP YOUR CAR!
CLITHEROE police have asked local motorists to make especially sure that their cars arc secure, follow ing a series of vehicle thefts from the town centre.
A CID spokesman said this week that half-a-dozen cars
had been taken without con sent in the past 10 days or so. It appeared that those responsible were joyriders, as all the cars have since been recovered.
Property has, however,
been taken from them and the spokesman urged motor ists not to leave valuables in their cars. “If they must do so, they should lock them in the boot,” he said.

Foster: “I’m not familiar with the young artists myself — their offer of a sculpture was made through another Rota- rian — and to be quite truth ful I’m not a great lover of modern art myself. “But it is certainly a very

granted if the combined gen eral, water, and sewerage rates for 1974-75 exceeded the general and water rates for 1973-74 by more than 20 per' cent. The relief was 60 per cent of this excess. Now the sewerage rate is
being refunded, to, some ratepayers — but only after a sizeable figure has been sub tracted from it — namely 60 per cent of the difference bet ween the sewerage charge and the backdated general service charge.
Problem So a ratepayer who paid,
for example, a sewerage rate of £25'in 1974 will have that charge refunded — less 60 per cent of the difference between that charge and the general service charge of, say, £1, i.e. £14.40 —.which gives a refund of £10.60. Most ratepayers would be

High jinks in the wood
IF you go down to Spring Wood, Whalley, tomorrow night you’ll be sure of a big surprise — the under growth will be alive with Scouts from the 1st Pendle Troop, Clitheroe. The troop is going to the wood with leader Mr Denis
Mackey to play a large scale, nocturnal version of “hide and seek.” Mr Mackey will be telling the lads to “get lost” and
they will scatter all over the wood to look for safe hiding places. The patrol leaders will then have the task of searching for them. Mr Mackey explained that the exercise was to allow the lads to let off steam after being cooped up in the
Scout hall during winter. “Things get quite noisy at times,” said Mr Mackey.
“I don’t mind if the lads put up a bit of resistance when they are found, and this adds to the fun.” Mr Mackey wants all members to meet at headquar
ters in outdoor gear, with a torch and a watch, at 7-0 p.m.
