Gifts for happy retirement


All set for a


sell-out


CLITHEROE Girls’ Gram­ mar School’s production of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera “ Iolanthe” next week looks like being a sell-out.


Tickets for the. three


performances, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, have been disappearing fast.


About' 45 pupils, from the


second to the sixth forms, will take part in the produc­ tion, which was chosen because of the large number of parts for girls.


........... Deputy head teacher Miss


M; Mills is producing, the opera and Mrs Joan Roscoe is in charge of the music..


They have been helped by


other members of staff, notably Miss Margaret Hulme, art director, and Miss M. Bottomley, who has made many of the costumes. Casting was finalised in


TWO presentat ions at Calderstones marked the end of 38 years’ nursing service by Mrs Alice Crook, of Whalley Old Road, York, near Langho.


Mrs Crook (59) officially


retired on August 14th, but she slipped at home and broke a bone in her foot a few days before and the presentations had to be-


delayed. Mrs Crook'spent the first


half of her nursing career at Brockhall Hospital, where she became an RNMS and


•matron. In the middle of her time


•at Brockhall she worked for two years at Blackburn


Royal Infirmary, framing as


anSRN. Mrs C ro ok came to


Calderstones in 1963 and seven years later was


appointed to the newly- created post of senior nurs­ ing officer (personnel). Her work in the post,


which she held until retire­ ment, was praised by Mr Tom McLean, divisional nursing officer (nursing), who made one of the presen­ tations. He said Mrs Crook had

defending, said Johnson went to speak to Mrs M e t c a l f e a b o u t th e behaviour of her five young children. It was the culmina­ tion of many incidents invol­ ving the children and John­ son wanted to have the thing settled once and for all.


He asked to see the


husband but was greeted with abusive language. Mrs Metcalfe became hysterical, so Johnson slapped her face and this had the desired effect. Mr Liddle submitted that the slap could not be regarded as an assault in law.


Mrs Metcalfe said Johnson


wa v e d his hands and shouted, saying he would give her kids a good hiding.


. As a result of the slap she had to have medical atten­ tion for a swollen lip and a bruised mouth.


She admitted that as


Johnson was leaving, she shouted at him and threw a stone, but it missed. Johnson was ordered to pay £2.96 costs.

against a Clitheroe man when he made a brief appearance before Preston Crown Court, accused o f a drink drive offence. Norman Ireland, of Peel


Park Close, denied driving with excess alcohol in his blood, or driving whilst unfit through drink on March


24th. Mr A n t h o n y J o l l y ,


prosecuting, said the defen­ dant had been involved in an accident at about 5-30 p.m., and a police officer tried to arrest him about- three- quarters of an hour later. • ■ But it was. quite clear in law that the arrest was not lawful and, said Mr Jolly, he could not therefore invite a jury to convict on anything subsequent to that.- No evidence was offered and Ireland was discharged. ,

was fined £40 for fraudu­ lently using an excise licence and £10 each for having :no excise licence, no insurance,


and no test certificate. He was also ordered to , pay £8.33 back duty. I n s p . B i l l M o o r e ,

after buying the car, he couldn’t afford to tax it, so had used the disc from his | other car. It had failed its MoT and he was waiting for* repairs to.-be done. He had not transferred the insur­ ance from his other car.

July and regular rehearsals have been taking place since September. The last dress rehearsal is on Monday. , Mrs Roscoe said one of the


reasons for staging the production was the success last year of the school’s performance of another Gilbert and Sullivan opera, "The Mikado.” , “From the sale of tickets


it looks as though this production is going to be equally successful — we certainly hope so,” she said.
