Ramble by the dver
PERFECT weather favoured 21 members of the Clitheroe Ramblers on Saturday when they set out from Newton. Mr E. Ormand led the
group along the banks of the Hodder, across the river at Easington and over the fells to Walloper Well. Paths were taken across
Bradford Fell, passing St Clare’s, Duckey Leach and going on to Cob House.' The party walked, the length of Green Lane into Grindleton and back -to Clitheroa along the banks of the Ribb e. The next is on May 8th,

ised by the recently-formed Billington and Whalley branch of the Royal Naval Associa

of surrounding associations to a night of entertainment, including several games of bingo and a raffle. The pro ceeds will go towards buying a standard for the Billington and Whalley branch which it is hoped to have dedicated and p la ced in St Leonard’ s Church, Langho. The branch was formed
nine months ago to bring together past and present mem b e rs o f the Roya Marines, members of the Fleet Air Arm and other groups connected with the Royal Navy. The founder membership
totalled six and this has now swelled to 30. Under the lead ership of Commander Robert Eddleston, of the Croft, Wis- well, they meet on the last Thursday of the month to share their varied nautical experiences. The branch also does quite a
lot of charity work helping naval ex-servicemen. New members are always
welcome — particularly from Clitheroe since there are none from the town in the Bil lington and Whalley branch. Wednesday’s concert starts
at 8-00 p.m. and refreshments will be available throughout the evening.
field. The monkey house (an
elaborate climbing frame) is a welcome addition to the few facilities-provided for children in Waddington. I speak as someone born in Waddington and having lived there for the first 27 years of my life. My two young children were brought up in the village and a lth ou gh now living in Clitheroe 1 find it difficult to keep them away from the
“new toy.” What a pity this long over
due facility for the children had to be scraped and saved for by fund raising and the e f fo r t s o f a few people, although I am sure everyone in the village contributed in some way. It would now be nice to see
the pavilion, which is literally falling to bits, restored to some sort-of respectability and the work started on it two years ago completed. WADDINGTONIAN
Left in the air
I WOULD like to point out how inconsiderate are some of the prospective employers who advertise in your news paper for future employees. Over the past few weeks I have written letters of appli cation to three of your adver tisers and have only received one reply. I was interviewed three
weeks ago for the post to which this reply referred and have heard neither one way nor the other about this post. Don’t you think this is not only inconsiderate but also dis courteous of them? The least these people could
do is reply to our applications saying they are “sorry the post has been filled” and then we would know where we stand. JOB HUNTER
No cash here
A REPORT in the Advertiser .and Times of a court case concerning the theft of £150 from my bedroom by.a former employee might suggest that I regularly keep such amounts there. I certainly do not. I had, in
fact, collected this amount just before Christmas to take to the bank, but was unable to do so and only later disco-
vered my loss. HENRY

educationists
against the cuts in their own field, Even they fail to realise Hio mn'nlrv’s problems.
the country Then we read of the neces
sity in Clitheroe of a teachei in belly dancing so that oui education can be complete. Against all this ridiculous
nonsensical waste of public money to which wc all contri bute in our rates, we have those continually calling for more public expenditure Frankly it all adds up to a jolly good belly laugh. What rubbish! What non
sense! And what a glorious example of fiddling as Rome burns. Like many others 1 am bored stiff at such proposals. H. E. COOK Clitheroe
Faulty tyre
FOR being the owner of a lorry with a defective tyre, Thomas Hickey (33), of Queen Street, Whalley, was fined £35 at Clitheroe. The tyre, it wiis stated, had been cut and the cord structure exposed. Hickey said that the previous night the tyre had been in good condition. It had prob ably been damaged while being driven on his behalf in a quarry.
Fined £10
ADMITTING driving a cat with a defective tyre, Alexan der Leonard (40), of Chatburn Park Drive, Clitheroe, was fined £10 by the town’s magis trates. Leonard said that the car belonged to his wife and he did not normally use it.
Search for a queen
EVERY festival needs a pretty, young queen to add that touch of charm to presen tation night and the Ribble Valley's forthcoming Festival of Sport is no exception. Entries are currently being
taken for this year’s light hearted competition, which is worth a glittering trophy and "Sports Queen 70" sash to
the winner. The only- qualifications all
you pretty young things need to enter the contest, is that you are 10 or over, and, despite, the Sex Equality Act, that you are a girl! Competition organiser Mrs
Margaret Scott, of Darkwood Crescent, Chatburn, said the event is open to any girls in the Ribble Valley. She would like entrants to send their names, ages and addresses to her by a week- on Saturday. Mrs Scott is hoping that
local football and cricket dubs and other spurting groups will support the competition by entering their own hand picked blossom. Let’s hope that the girls of
the Ribble Valley prove that their area is one of outstand ing natural beauty in more ways than one!

No birds in the nest!
THE 30 local bird-watchers hoping to start a summer “Name that bird” course at R ibblesdale Adult Centre tonight will have to wait until Monday for their first talk from ornithologist Mr R. Froethy.
For the course, which was
wrongly advertised by its organisers the WEA, was in fact due to start on Monday this week.
When Mr Freethy found
only six students at the first meeting on Monday night, lie re a l is ed something was wrong, for there were 40 at a similar course last year. But those who did turn up on the right night were lucky enough to have one free lecture, before the course, which includes two field trips and six talks, gets properly going on Monday.

Sub-Committee was told that objections to the extension of the pub — which is in a desig nated conservation area — had been received from Wad dington Parish Council and 11 nearby residents.
Chief Architect and Plan
ning Officer Mr Charles Wil son to ld members that ‘perhaps the strongest point" raised by the objectors was that the scheme would mean the loss of two dwellings from the general housing stock. Mr Wilson added that, according to the council’s recent housing study, there would appear to be a demand for 15 more dwel ling units in the village at present.
Conn. John Walmsley
(Waddington) told the sub committee: ‘‘This extension is not necessary. We have three public houses and a licensed club in the village. I feel that the proposed extension would bring a tremendous lot more trade into an area where park ing is already a great hazard."
While conceding that the
brewery’s plans also provided for a new car park at the rear of the pub, Coun. Walmsley did not feel that this would be .arge enough. “ I also agree that the brewery should not be allowed to do away with two valuable dwellings that could otherwise be let,” he added.
Mr Wilson explained in a
report that the applicants — Daniel Thwaites and Co. — already owned the two cot tages, They intended to use the ground floors to extend the pub’s lounge area while a self-contained flat would be created on the first floor.
The plans also included a
new bottle store, a snack pre paration area and new toilets.
A motion rejecting the
scheme was proposed by Coun. Walmsley, seconded by C o u n . T om R u s h t o n (Clitheroe) and unanimously carried.
ST GEORGE’S DAY..was marked on Sunday
with.one of the largest-ever parades of Clitheroe and District Scouts, Cubs, Guides and Brownies. An estimated 900 people
packed the Parish Church to hear the address by the Vicar of Whitewell, the Rev. Arthur Higginson. Among those pre sent were the Ribble Valley Mayor and Mayoress, Conn, and Mrs Tom Robinson, and the Mayor and Mayoress of Clitheroe, Conn, and Mrs Leo Wells. The service was led by the vicar, the Rev. John Hud son, with members of the uniformed organisations con ducting the prayers and read ing the lessons. Afterwards, in bright sun
s h in e , the y ou n g s te r s marched through the town centre, led by District Com missioner, Dr G. Hampson, and the Scout and Guide band of St Francis’ Church, Fenis- cowles. Tlie salute was taken by the Ribble Valley Mayor, who was accompanied by Dis trict Scout Council chairman Mr Stanley Weslhead and his vice-chairman, Mr Peter Car penter.
