RECENT revivals have made us all familiar with the famous poster of the little girl asking her father; “ What did you do in the Great War, Daddy?”


The pained expression on


the face of her parent as he stares into the distance is one that I feel may be reflected on mine when you ask me, “What are you doing down in London?”


Political and economic


trench warfare may be being waged somewhere else, in NATO, in the EEC, between the Government and the Trades Unions about Phrase III, or even outside the gates o f the Grunwick factory, but very few people are, in that old fashioned phi^e, “going over the top” at Westminster.


Of course, it is by no


means an equal battle, for the Government makes the rules, it dictates the busi­ ness of the House day by day. Only one day, a so called “Supply Day,” is allot­ ted to the Opposition each week for a debate of itso\vn choice — this coming week, for instance, we have chosen the prevention of crime. Nearly all the hours of the other four days are control­ led by the Government, either as to subject or as to time allotted. This is something that I


have had to explain to the very large number of you who have already written to me on the subject of the Abortion Law Amendment Bill. N a tu ra l ly en ough a

Government takes advan­ tage of its position. With a good majority behind its back it pushes through its own measures. Without a majority, as at


pre sen t, and dependent upon the Lib-Lab Pact, its sole aim is to produce a mixture of cotton wool and marshmallow which it is hoped will offend as few p e o p le as p o s s ib le — anyhow, not offend enough MPs in the minority parties sufficiently to provoke them into vo t ing against the G o v e rnm en t with the Conservative Opposition. Some measures however


cannot be avoided, at least not for ever, so last week we did at last have an opportun­ ity to consider, and vote upon, direct elections to the


European Parliament. My own views on our membership of the EEC are


Westminster Viewpoint by DAVID W ^ D E R CHtheroe Division MP


sufficiently well known not to need repetition. The referendum decided, on about a two to one basis, that the British people wanted to stay in the Community .That being so, how many people would now wish us to come out! On what basis, therefore,


can one argue that we should not elect Members to the European Parh'ament? At present they are nominated by the political parties at Westminster without refer­ ence to the electorate and with no territorial base or responsibility. Surely it would be better


if we could say in Lanca­ shire, for instance, that Mr X or Mrs Y were our members answerable, in the normal democratic way, to us, and dependent upon us for their re-election? Further, there is no doubt


that the whole Community organisation needs demo- c r a t i s i n g , d e - bureaucratising — shaking up in fact. No better way o c cu r s to me than by strengthening the hand of Parliament against both Ministers and Commis­ sioners. There is no better way of


increasing the authority of European MPs than by giving them the backing of an electorate rather than just a Party nomination. All the other countries


which are members of the Community are moving towards having directly elected representatives by next year. Should we in Britain be the odd man out, giving the impression either that we don’t care about Europe, or Britain? • Nevertheless, when we


came to the vote on Thurs­ day last, a large part of the


Labour Party, and nearly half of the Cabinet, voted against direct elections. Now, of course, some


Conservatives voted against as well, because they are


either still dedicated anti- Marketeers, or else because they don't favour the alter­ native system proposed in the Bill, of elections on a Regional List system. Neither do I, I want a


First Choice system, but I do consider the principle of direct elections to be more important at this stage than


the actual method. The truth is that without


Conservative support Mr Callaghan would not have secured a Second Reading of his BiU. . Let us just imagine that if


that had happened what wo u l d have be en Mr Callaghan’s explanation to


Mr Steel? For the provision of a


direct election system to the European Parliament is one of the items in the Lib-Lab deal which maintains Labour in power, though whether the Liberals want the goods delivered, or will be satis­ fied with a mere expression of intention I cannot tell. Wiich makes me wonder,


inevitably, as one always does in deals, about the sincerity of the parties. Especially Mr Callaghan since.he gains most, if not all the advantages. Did Mr Callaghan believe


that most of the Labour- Party, and the whole of the Cabinet, would support, and work for, direct elections? .Did he know, or not, of th e o p i n i o n s in his


parliamentary party? If he did not, what sort of


a leader is he? If he did, what sort of a partner? Over to you, Mr Steel.


CHANCE TO TRY A NEW PASTIME


AN original pastime for the long summer days is being laid on for Ribble Valley people in the form of three- day arts workshops.


The workshops — in


drama, visual arts, pottery and opera — are to be held a t Ribblesdale School, Clitheroe, on August 8th, 9th and 10th.


Leading the drama work­


shop will be Mr Brian McDonald, a teacher at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, and the opera work­ shop will be under the charge of Mrs Joan Roscoe, o f the Girls’ Grammar School.


Me l l o r Br o o k a r t ist


Concern at future cost of


road works CONCERN about possible astronomic costs in road works in future years, b e c a u s e o f c u r r e n t economies in road mainte­ nance costs, was expressed at a meeting of Ribble Valley Council’s Public W o r k s a n d H e a l t h ' Committee. Lancashire County Divi­


sional Surveyor Mr C. Kay reported on work being done, saying he was anxious to co-operate with any local authorities on problems in their areas. But quite apart from a list


of nearly 500 improvement schemes, for which there was little money available, there were severe restric­ tions on expenditure for ma i n t e n a n c e o f roa d surfaces. “This is causing concern at national level,” said Mr Kay. Ri b b l e V a l ley Chief


Executive Mr Michael Jack- son said concern was also growing regarding claims Ster accidents, and there were suggestions that there should be changes in the liability of local authorities to p e o p l e in v o lv ed in damage.


A PLEASANT evening and a well kept green for a friendly game of bowls. This was the ideal setting when Clitheroe Chamber of Trade and the Knights of St Columba met for their third successive annual match on the Castle green, playing with 12 pairs from


each side. It was also the first win for the Chamber of Trade.


Afterwards, about 70 people attended a social at the


Conservative Club, with supper and dancing to a disco by Stanley Hodgson.


W endy m akes it Assheton^s day\


GAMES captain Wendy Walker, of Garnett Road, Clitheroe, set up two new records in help­ ing her house, .^she- ton, to victory in' the annu a l s p o r t s at Clitheroe Gn-ls’ Gram­ mar School. On a day in which seven


new records were made, Wendy, holder of the senior 200 metres record, clipped her time from 30 to 29 seconds, and in the senior shot-put added one metre to set a new record at 8.84 metres. Wendy’s success won her


the senior title and the King Sp orts Cup, which was presented by school gover­ nor Mrs Myra Clegg, of Wiswell. Runner-up in the seniors was Elizabeth Bond. The intermediate champ­ ionship was won by Susan


Greenhalgh, with Susan Read runner-up. Another record breaker


was the junior champion, Ceri Bradshaw, of Dorset Drive, Clitheroe. She cut 0.3 of a second off the 80 metres hurdles time of 15.8 secs and a similar 0.3 off the 200 metres, setting a new record at 33.4 secs.


Ceri received the Taylor


Junior Sports Cup, the runner-up being Ehzabeth Gorman.


Individual records were


also broken by Caroline Thornber (Lumb house) increasing the senior long jump from 4.05 metres to 4.16 metres; Susan Hayes (Llewellyn) junior long jump, 3.94 metres; and Carol Hiper Oe Lacy) junior 400 metres, 1.12.3. Assheton totalled 298


points to carry off the house cup. De Lacy scored 262V4, Llewellyn 240V4, Derby 224 and Lum'o 192. Among those attending


the event were the Mayor of Ri b b l e Va l l e y , Coun. Edward Newhouse, and the


Deputy Mayor of Clitheroe, Coun. Tom Robinson.

Music to charm snakes


UNUSUAL instruments such as a snake charmer and a crumhorn tvill be demons­ trated in Clitheroe Concerts Society’s first recital of the autumn season. The programme of four


concerts was announced at the society’s AGM, held at Clitheroe United Reformed Church Hall. All the officers were re-elected and the Mayor of Clitheroe, Coun. R. P. Ainsworth, was made president. In addition to the opening


lecture recital in October on flutes, reeds and whistles, to be given by Doreen and Michael Muskett, there will be appearances by the Felson Trio of soprano, clarinet and piano, the Boch- mann String Quartet and the cel lo and piano duet of Eileen Croxford and David Parkhouse. All the concerts are held


on Wednesday evenings at Clitheroe Grammar School


for Girls. New members, w h o w o u l d b e mo s t welcome, can contact either of the society’s secretaries, Mr R. I. & y , of 23 Chat- burn Park Drive, and Miss R. Shackleton, of 8 Denbigh Drive, for further details.


Graham Mallinson, some of whose stage sets are being used at this year’s Edin­ burgh Festival, will lead the v isual arts workshop. Pottery will run itself, says Ribble Valley arts organiser Tony Cavender, who is beWnd the whole event. As many people as poss­


ib le , young or old, are wanted to take part — and it will not cost them a penny. The times are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, and the workshops should prove an ideal way of spending a few summer days, whether you are a beginner or an old. hand. Any further information


about the workshops can be obtained from Tony Caven­ der at AVhalley Adult Centre (Tel. Whalley 2717).
