BE PREPARED FOR A SMASHING SHOW


V I S I TO R S to t h e Clitheroe and District Scouts and Cubs Gang Show had better “Be Prepared” for two hours of marvellous entertain­


ment. The- show, in the Parish Hall, bounces along on the


crest of a colourful wave with songs and sketches for all


ages. There were robust, knee­


slapping numbers and quiet songs such as “(Christopher Robin” performed by the Cubs which had all the mums chorusing “Aah, isn’t that lovely.” As one imaginative scene followed another it became

Auction Mart chaos


I FIND myself in sympathy with what has been said about th e th r e a t to the long- established Cattle Auction Mart and would agree it is nice to hold on to the old. But we have to admit that we have chosen to become slaves to the motor ear and, having done so, find this part of the town choked by traffic whenever the Auction Mart conflicts with Tuesday or Saturday shopping.

Resurfacing problems


i FIND most interesting the figures presented by the new Divisional Surveyor Mr C e d r ic Kay a b o u t th e sugges ted resurfacing or dressing with tar and chippings of our roads. However, may I draw


attention to the fact, before tar-dressing resumes -this summer, that many of the r o a d s by R ib b le an d Hodder failed to retain the


re su rfa c in g applied last summer. Several miles in the Gisbum


and Slaidburn area have already lost the chippings so carefully laid last summer due, no doubt, to the tar fail­ ing to adhere to the old surface. Hundreds of tons have been forced to the wayside and, in places, been swept aside to serve no other purpose than fill in the ditches. In this period when budgets are restricted we must remember the adage “Waste not want not.” MO’^ORIST.
