Joys of a Hodder spring


BROWSING through^'1 guide to the Lake District.-/; I was forced to admit, as the statement said: “Each-- season brings; its own' reward.” .


Most people will agree and


the choice of season will undoubtedly be as varied as


the four seasons, . for what appeals to one taste is of no importance to another. As for myself I have no hesitation in claiming that spring and early' summer typify all that is best in youth and for second choice-'. 1 find immense satisfaction in


the autumn.scene when, after maturity and the glory of ful­ filment we find grace and . - achievcment.


All this stirred my thoughts .


and as I sat pondering on the scene before me, within six' : miles of Clitheroe, I came to a carefully considered conclu- ( sion. I know it may be familiar ground, but although I have ‘ been looking at this particular


vista for several decades, my


: appreciation and enthusiasm : has been in no way diminished by constant familarity.


. ' I implore you, if you are in


; any way moved or inspired by the sheer beauty which only England, can provide,: come with me in May or at the beginning of June. Choose .a fine, day when the blue sky is broken by those billowy white cumulus clouds which give - added attraction to hill and dale.


Here at the crest of Hall


Hill I thought- of those who are enraptured by the sun and cloudless skies of the Mediter­ ranean, Africa and Spain. Consider the skyscapes-of’ the North, particularly in May - (or October and November for colour),- which are'inspiring enough to gladden.the doleful spirit. They are, as Turner would agree, as important as-


■ the landscape. What a dull affair it would be if we were constantly under a blue dome.


On,, this particular-May


..- morning jus t: before noon the entire . Whitewell — Dunsop valley was a picture as varied : as any, to be classed superb.


A fresh westerly breeze,


having cleared all dust and haze from the atmosphere, gave an , intensity and bril- , liance we find in the Western Isles. Detail and colour were never equalled. ■ Far below, the Hodder meandered in a leisurely fashion by Langden Holme and Burholme pastures to Whitewell.


Every field from the slopes


Tand for. ever praised in song and;poetry can show no bet­ ter, be it in Killarney, Kerry • or Co Down.: The shades of ’ green by Ribble and Hodder. are at their very best in May, pasture and meadow offering greater variety than the 40 _ shades of the famous song. Not far from the top of the


of Mellor Knoll to the green water, meadows each pre­ sented a different shade. Ire-

mission


A WISWELL man is going1 around with a half-million pound problem on his mind. For that’s the sum 53-year-old Mr Campbell Hopwood is responsible for raising in his new job as appeals director for the 42-bed St Annes Hospice at Heald Green, Manchester, which mainly accommodates terminal care patients.


The £V6m. is needed to build


a new hospice at Little Hul- ton, near Bolton, and is extra to the money which has to be raised for the everyday run­ ning of the hospice. In order to take on this


tremendous challenge, Mr Hopwood, a chartered accoun­ tant, gave up his job as finan­ cial director with a Blackburn industrial firm. But if there is one regret

for Mr Hopwood about the new job it is that he is having to sever his links with several local organisations. “Appeals work is going on all the time to maintain and run the present hospital so the appeal for a new hospital is going to take up my working and leisure hours,” he says. One place where he will be


p a r t ic u l a r ly m is sed is Clitheroe Parish Church. He had been licensed lay reader there for the past 14 years. Not only has he given up


regular duties in this job but he resigns as chairman of the Blackburn Diocesan Board of Finance next month, having already stood down from the Deanery Synod. He will stand down from the Diocesan. Synod at the next election in the summer. Mr Hopwood has also ten­


dered his resignation as chair-’ man of the Clitheroe Divi­ sional Liberal Association. He and his wife, Mary, will


probably be moving nearer to Manchester later this year to be closer to the centre of his work. But the move will not mean a change'of job for Mrs

Success Safari


on


ONE victim the murderous East African Safari Rally did n o t c 1 a i m was fo rm e r Clitheroe man Dave Haworth. Dave (28) was navigating


for,Zambian ace Satwant Singh in what is regarded as the world's toughest rally. Their Datsun 1800 finished 13th overall and gained the prize for best-placed overseas private entry. Only 22 ears managed to complete the course out of a


and we couldn’t see Mount Kenya as we circled it. We bash on, still not last, and'


rigid test of car and driver in world rallying. In a letter to his parents, Mr and Mrs Bill Haworth, of Windermere Avenue, Clitheroe, Dave gives a vivid description of what it’s like. ' “There was plenty of dust


• there are! countless bends and jumps in the road. Tear gas and dogs control the crowds in Eldoret, and we are thankful to stop for an hour for coffee and a sandwich. “Only an hour, though, then


up into the hills again. Control after control, bend after bend. One section was 220kms long (140 miles) and we didn’t see a soul.” Dave, a former pupil of


Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, spent four years at Stafford College and gained a BSc degree in computer sci­ ence before moving out to Zambia three years ago.


Tasty odes


A POETRY book with a dif­ ference is now being sold to boost funds at Whitewell Par­ ish Church. Each of the 20 poems in the


duplicated booklet is on the same subject . . . black pud­ dings to be precise. The:ven­ ture is, of course, a spin-off from the wave of publicity generated recently by the Vicar of Whitewell, the'Rev Arthur Higginson, for the Lancashire delicacy. Mr Higginson, it will be


recalled, extolled the virtues of b la ck p u d d in g s and suggested they should be adopted as the "national” dish of Lancashire.

Previously the pair had com­ peted in 10 rallies up and down the country, winning eight and coming second iii two. The safari is by far the most

and TV coverage that fol­ lowed, he also called for some­ one to write an ode to the black pudding — and the booklet now on sale is the result of this. Entitled “odd odes to the ‘king’ of pud­ dings”, it contains only a selection of the many poetic


works received by Mr Hig­ ginson.


Contributions range from


the majestic anthem that ends “Then hail O noble pudding,’


hail, and hail th e ' Red Red Rose” to the rather more


earth bound ode that begins thus —


"Oh! Black and bloody though you be


You mean an awful lot to me!"


Aptly enough, there are


plenty of poems in Lancashire dialect including one from “ Jimifel” of Whalley and another by “John Burnley", a regular contributor to our sis- t e r p a p e r , the Burnley Express. Purchasers of the booklet


(25p or by post 30p) will, how­ ever, find one poem not on the subject of black puddings. The book’s typist and dup­ licator, the Rev F. G. Adams, of King’s Heath, Northamp­ ton, uses the final page as an opportunity to burst into verse himself. Mr Adams’ poem apologis errors in the booklet — and adds a plug for his latest pub­ lication, “Food for thought”, which he says will “for 30p be sent through the mail to aid my present church’s funds for heating restoration."

Mr Parkinson (47), of Eas- tham Street, has been a local director at the bank’s Preston head office. His work involved visiting branches throughout NE Lancs, and the Lake Dis­ trict and he has been a regular v is ito r to the. Clitheroe branch.

became assistant manager at a Huddersfield branch and in 1965 transferred to the Bir­ mingham head office, subse­ quently becoming assistant district manager there. Married with a son and two


daughters, he is interested in football, sailing and bridge and is a member of Clitheroe Golf Club.


Looking ahead


INFORMATION on North West events in the 12 months starting this August is now being collated for a manual to be published by the English Tourist Board. Local organisations wishing


to have events publicised in the book should give details to the Ribble Valley tourist office in Church Street, Clitheroe, by June 3rd. The book will cover all kinds of activities, including shows, exhibitions, sports meetings and drama productions.


Top awards


Bo wring will be handing the awards — the highest in Scouting — to David Tatter- sail, of Fairfield Drive, and Andrew Hartlebury, of Esh- ton Terrace. They are among the 15 East Lancashire Scouts who will be at the ceremony at Blackburn’s Hornby Lecture Threatre.


PEOPLE who live in the north of the country have qualities of warmth, friendli­ ness and personality which are less typical of residents in the southern half of the country.
