High standard o f life saving


THE standard of proficiency in life saving achieved at the Ribblesdale Pool was warmly commended by Mr S. White, who with Mr and Mrs N. C. Wall conducted examinations at the p<rol for the Distinction Award of the Royal Life Saving Society, on Sunday.


Mr White was chief trainer


AUCTION MART


THE best heifers at Clitheroe Auction Mart’s I\i68day sale met a soimd trade, but other sorts tended to bring less money. 'Hiere was a sharp demand for calves. Forward were six newly-calved


cows, 42 calves and 17 sheep. Newly-calved heifers n ^ e to 1365 (average £308), Friesian buU


calves to £37 (£^), Her^ord bull calves to £48* (£33), CJharoI^s bull calves to £64 (£52), Hereford heifer calves to £42 (£28), Bobby calves to £11 (£7.80). Ewes and lambs made £14.20 a


head. • The quantity of animals in all


sections wa? down at Monday’s fatstock sale. All classes of sheep found a sharp


demand at lugher prices and fat cows did a briw trade. Buriness for s teer s and heifers was slow, however, and pigs made less money. Forward were: 64 fat cattle,

Broken leg


A 17-YEAR-OLD C3iipping motor-cyclist was taken to hospital yesterday after his machine collided with an l CC mobile library van. Andrew Smith, of Greys-


tones Farm, was treated at Accrington Victoria Hospital for a broken leg and cuts to his face. The accident happened on the Clitheroe-Chipping road near the Higher Hodder Bridge. The van driver was not hurt.

of the Great Britain squad in th e W o r ld L i fe Saving Championships held in Berlin last August when individual and team bronze awards were won. Mr Wall is the chief


examiner of the Royal Life Saving Society, in the North Lancashire area. All eight members of the


class coached by Mr Eric Musson passed the examina­ tion. Phillipa Pe t t it , Roger


Blackburn, Anthony Lee, Cynthia Chamock and Frank Thompson passed at their first attempt. John Dixon, Mo}^ Hill and Jean Stoddart received bars to their awards. Roger, Cynthia and Jean are members of the Ribblesdale Pool staff, and Anthony and Frank of the Ribble 'Valley Sub-Aqua Club. The examination is the highest practical and theoreti­


cal set by the RLSS. The fact that examiners of the calibre of Mr Wiite and Mr Wall were present showed the importance of the test. The two-and-a-half-hour


examination is a very severe test of theory and practice. The class worked hard during the past 10 weeks and Mr White commented that the standard was very much hi^er than that of the aver­ age club. For their part, parents


generally will derive much assurance from the fact that three of those who passed are members of the pool staff. Mr Thompson is the organiser of Ribble Valley Sub-Aqua Club at the pool.

Land deal possible


A PIECE of land that Whal- ley Parish Council has had its eye on for recreational'use may after all be available for them to purchase. Parish council plans to buy


the land, next to the village cricket ground, fell through when a hockey club stepped in with a higher offer. But the deal has not been completed and it is likely that the land will a g ^ be on the market, the Ribble Valley Council’s


P o l i c y and R e s ou r c e s Committee has heard. A provisional allocation of


£2,500 towards the cost of puixhase of the land would still be available, members of the committee were told.


UNDERWATER hockey, egg and spoon racing and. jousting metre just some of the strange goings-on at the Ribblesdale Pool when the Ribble Valley Snorkel Club held an open night The club — the junior


wing of the Ribble Valley Sub-Aqua Club — gave a demonstration of its training methods which ensure safe


diving. Parents and visitors were able to observe the


hearsed boat rescue and vari­ ous competitions such as fin, surfboard and egg and spoon racing, jousting and under­ water hockey.


UNTIRING WORKER


THE secretary of 'l^alley Abbey Senior Citizens, Mr William Ernest Lancaster, died suddenly at his Biddings Lane home on Tuesday. Mr Lancaster (77) was the


first official of the club when it was formed some 10 years ago. He was an untiring worker for the club, paying daily visits to all the members and. organising parties and trips abroad. Formerly a charge nurse at

Victory for Pendle


A GROUP o f 1st Pendle Scouts visited the 1st West C r a v e n S c o u t s a t Bamoldswick on Sunday . . , and repaid their hosts’ hospi­ tality by thrashing them 20-1 at fo o t^ I . Scorers in the victory were


Donald Reddin (7), Nicky Tomlinson (5), Peter Eglin (3), Ian Fielding (2), Duggie Jones, Simon Geddes and Derek Mercer (1 each). After the game, the visitors


were entertained to coffee and biscuits in the West Craven headquarters. The match was part of a


busy weekend for the Pendle Scouts, who also went ice skating on Friday at the Silver Blades rink, Bradford.


Thirty-three Scouts and two leaders enjoyed two-and-a- half hours on the ice.


HIGHLIGHT


MUSICAL entertainment by the Royston Jones Trio was the highlight of Calderstones ’ 73 Club’s fourth birthday party. The evening began with


music from Thil Christian and his son, who entertained on guitar and drums. After a break for refreshments, Mr P. Stones, divisional nursing officer, presented prizes to patients who had won the snooker, darts, draughts and domino competitions.


No licence


FOR using a van without an excise licence Alan James


Cairns, (35), of Bumbridge School House, Tosside, was fined £10 at Clitheroe and ordered to pay back duty of £8.10. He also admitted having no test certificate and was fined a further £10.


New act of worship


for diocesan jubilee A DANCE and drama sequence written and produced by Mrs Rosemary Taylor, of Clitheroe, will form part of a diocesan golden jubilee rally at Blackburn Cathedral on March 31st. It has a cast of about 30


p e o p le , mainly from St


James’s Church, and follows the theme “Christ our Light,” presenting the life of Ch ist through voice, percussion, dance and special effects. Mrs Taylor says the drama


Cnrii


is intended to be part of an act o f worship, communicating


the story of Jesus from birth to his death and resurrection. 'The dancers are women and the drama involves several young men, one of whom takes the role of Jesus. The rally is being organised


by the Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship and is a major event in the programme marking the golden jubilee. The Rev. J. B. W. Stott, chaplain to the Queen and a w e l l -k n ow n author and preacher, will be guest preacher at the rally.


Meeting points


THE first o f the Lenten “meeting points” at St James’s Ch urch , Clitheroe, was attended by 60 people. There were three separate


talks. The first, for Sunday S c h o o l t e a c h e r s , was conducted by the Rev. Don Andrews, a Scripture Union worker. It was attended by 30 people, among them teachers


- from Trinity Methodist Sunday School. A Bible exposition on the


Pastoral Epistle was led by the Rev. W. Jenkins, and a school on prayer was t^en by the Rector, the Rev. Kenneth Broadhurst. Afterwards eveiyone met


for a cup of tea, followed by prayers. The sessions will continue on Wednesday even­ ings until Easter.


Collectors


SILVER candlesticks were the subject of a talk to Clitheroe Antique Collectors’ Qub by Mr J. Shaw, of Ilkley. Thq meeting at the Sun Inn, Waddington, was attended by a b ou t 50 members and friends. For the annual meeting on


April 4th at the Sun Ihn, nominations for the commit­ tee should be sent to either secretary Mrs Phyllis Wright or Mr C. F. Pickles.


GOOD TIME


LOW MOOR Good Compan­ ions enjoyed general know­ ledge games at their meeting, before being entertained by singers Mr W. Hitchen, Mr J. Scott and Mr Booth. Sketches were performed


by Mrs Ingham and Mr J.: Scott and community singing was accompanied by Mr Srott on the piano. Afternoon tea was served by Mrs Seedall, Mrs Bush, Mrs Shuttleworth, Mrs Davies and Mrs Crooks.


Good intent


CLITHEROE Fire Brigade were called out twice on 'Tues­ day evening, but both calls proved to be false alarms with good intent. One was to Empress Sawmills at Chat- bum and the other to the Pendle Court sheltered hous­ ing in Hayhurst Street, Clitheroe.


Allotments halved


WHEN Clitheroe Town Coun­ cil allotments are re-let in future they will be halved in size in a bid to reduce the waiting list for plots of land. This was deaded at Tues­


day’s meeting when Town Clerk Mr Les Telford said that rents for the smaller allotments would be reduced accordin^y. Members also agreed that


waiting lists — which in some cases go back five years — should be kept up to date by making sure that anyone wanting an allotment applies aimually.


Found drunk


POLICE called to Kirk Avenue,_ Low Moor, found a


man lying face downwards and snoring loudly, Clitheroe


magistrates were told. David Speak (27), o f Brownlow Street, Qitheroe, was fined £5 when he admitted being found drunk.

loaded at the time-of the offence; that (3usack,^did not have aiw ammunition at the time; that he asked for a receipt' for £4,500 not £5,000; and that the offence was in no . way premeditated.


Mr Henriques said Cusack


had borrowed the gun from one of his apprentices to go day pigMn snooting, and was considering buying tiie gun. ■He kept it in his car boot,


out of reach of his children. At the laundry he offered


Mr Brown a cheque for some £300. Mr Brown rejected this and also returned a blank cheque given to him earlier by Mrs Cusack. Said Mr Henriques: “The


two cheques were a futile attempt to keep the defen­ dant’s creditors at bay. It was when Cusack heard he would be sued that he completely went to pieces, took the gun. from his car and began the quite outrageous conduct towards Mr Brown.” He did not know what on earth he intended to do about Mr Brown. Mr Henriques said that in


the late 1960s Cusack’s busi­ ness boomedj hut later when faced with big wage bills, he la ck ed the courage and hardheartedness to lay off Ws men. “ Eventually he ran hopriessly into debt and his estimated liabilities totalled £33,000.”


Last year when Cusack


found he could not sleep, he started to drink and, being unable to discuss matters rationally, slowly reached a state of despair. Mr Henriques said Cusack


now faced total ruin and he asked Mr Justice HoIIings to show sympathy.


The judge said Cusack had


inflicted upon Mr Brown the most dreadful anxiety and a period of suspense. “You imprisoned him and


kept him under threat for nine hours. For a laige part of that time he was in a confined space with his hands tied above his head, not knowing what was going to happen. “You threatened him with a


shotgun which, fo r all he knew, was loaded. “I am p r e p a y to accept


that your decision to commit these offences was a sudden


on e b rou gh t a b ou t by circumstances in which you


found yourself. Neverthe­ less, they were carried out with persistence.


“ It is impossible to deal


with these offences other than as very serious ones. I have been impressed by the report of the social worker as to your excellent background.’"


Five-a-side league


THE Ribble Valley under-15 five-a- side summer league, started two years ago, is to be run again this year. Started by Mr Kevin Fitzpatrick,
