Jail fo r man- who resold stolen cars
A 22-YEAR-OLD Clitheroe man whose garden and lawn mower business was running into debts of alwut £2,000 was too proud to admit the fact to his wife and her family — and so he turned to crime by stealing and reselling cars.

the case, using polystyrene mate rial, an ove r-rid e switch was not in the proper position, which meant that an o p e r a t o r was not protected by a guard and could have been injured. On behalf of Lanapak,
solicitor Mr J. Abbott said the machine was exactly as provided by the manufactur ers, and at the time of the offence Lanapak did not know that anything further needed to be done. No-one had been injured
on the machine, and since the firm opened in 1967 there had not been a single accident requiring notice to be given to the Factory Insp ectorate . Once the offence had been pointed out, steps were t^ en to ensure matters were in order.

C h r is to p h e r Egan, of Balmoral Avenue, admitted four cases of stealing vehi cle s and asked for two others to be taken into consideration. Mr R o g e r B a ldw in ,
prosecuting, told the court that Egan started his busi ness in the spring of last year. In a statement to
police, Egan said the busi ness failed during the subse- quent drought, but he bought a “wreck” of a car for £350, intending to do it up and sell it in August. W h e n no o n e was
interested in the vehicle, he cut the bodywork into small pieces and claimed £950 f r om th e in s u r a n c e company. Later Egan bought a mini
car for £450, stole a similar one in Blackburn and changed the registration, engine and chassis numbers. He then sold the kolen car for £850 and cut the wreck up for scrap.. He repeated the process
with a Marina stolen from Darwen, making a profit of £750, a Cortina taken from Burnley, and finally a G ra n a d a s to le n from Clitheroe Golf Club, which he sold for £1,400. Mr Richard Henriques,
defending, said Egan’s misfortunes were not of his own making and he intended to go back to being a mechanic again if allowed his freedom. He would not be a burden on the state and would hopefully be able to support Ws family. Mrs Maureen Egan said
her husband had worked hard to try and pay off his debts and Det. Con. Peter Graveson told the court that Egan, who had no previous convictions, was a good mechanic and had admitted to police eveiything he had done wfong. But Judge William Open- shaw jailed Egan for nine
months on each charge concurrently. He said that the serious
offences he had committed were carried out skilfully
ety were caused to anyone who had a car stolen and Egan had spread those feel ings by reselling the vehicles he took. “The sentence must demonstrate to you and others minded to behave in this way that the consequ ences must be pienal,” he added.

C A S T L E Castings, of Clitheroe, has been given the green h'ght by Ribble Valley Council’s develop ment subcommittee for the building of a new furnace and chimney. But the committee has
imposed restrictions on the times when furnaces are to be operated, because of noise. Only one furnace is to be in use at once, and work ing times are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 8
a.m. to 12-30 p.m. on Satur days.

“Mrs Slimheart,” Margery is looking forward to receiving her choice of prizes — £30 worth of premium bonds plus a food hampr. She also won a £10 premium bond for having the most sponsors.
The win automatically puts her in the running for
the national competition for holiday prizes worth £200 and £100.
Margery was first entered
for the competition from CUtheroe’s Silhouette Slim m ing Club, when she reduced from 12 stone to 9V4 stone within a given time. The more pounds she shed the more pounds in money she made, and thanks to the generosity of her 190 spon sors, she was able to raise £123 for the British Heart Foundation — sponsors of the competition.
Margeiy still attends the
local slimming club once a month, just to make sure she maintains her correct weight.

A HOME and water safety display has been set up at the Ribblesdale Pool and in R ib b le Valley Council offices at Clitheroe (jastle and Mytton House, Church Street.

Set fire to postbox
A 13-YEAR-OLD boy who set fire to a Clitheroe post box was ordered to spend 12 hours at an attendance cen tre by the town’s Juvenile Panel.
He admitted damaging
letters and parcels valu^ at £2.50 and was ordered to pay compensation.
Insp. W i l f Ashworth,
prosecuting, said a postal worker discovered about 25 le t t e r s in the box on Pendle Road had been scorched or destroyed.
Later the same day the
boy was interviewed by poUce and admitted throw- mg lighted matches into the
postbox, which he thought was empty. His father told the panel;
“ I c ^ ’t understand why he did it. He is a good boy and very helpful about the house. When he went out, he didn’t have any matches. Apparently someone gave them to him, so he didn’t go out intending to start a fire.”

WINNERS of the match at Friday’s Pendle Bridge Club were Mr Tom Hartley and Mrs Jessie Middleton, and Mr Charles Hill and Mrs Ah'ce Barker.

MEASURES to cope with any possible outbreak of rabies have been considered by officials of the Ribble. V a l ley Council, Public Works and Health Commit tee members have been told. Ail districts had prepared
