WHEN Clitheroe’ s miracle baby Davina Ingham was born she. weighed a. mere 11b- lOozi and at the age of four months only dolls clothes would fit her.
But now, just a year
after leaving hospital fo r h er home in Brownlow St reet , Davina is a bouncing bundle of energy, tip ping the scales at
. exactly one stone. She is already toddl
ing round the house' and attends Bright Street Nursery School every day with her brother Peter (4) and sister Zoe (3). Her parents, David
and Angela Ingham, are keeping their fin gers crossed, not only that she will continue to progress, but also that their next child, due in May, will not be qui t e as smal l as Davina at birth.
Need for better
system
HOSPITAL officials and consultant surgeon Mr Claude Brun meet in Blackburn this afternoon to find a better way of booking appointments for the breast screening unit, which visits Clitlieroe every Tuesday. The unit has been over
whelmed with inquiries since it . started coming to Clitheroe." At •
the moment
women are given appoint^ ment cards, but a more flexible method is needed.
THE governors of Clitheroe’s two gram mar schools are insisting that the girls’ premises must be extended before amal gamation takes place as part of the reor ganisation of secondary education in the area.

Athlete of the year that’s
— Michael!
WADDINGTON athlete Michael Morton has been named junior athlete of the year by the Amateur Ath letics Association.' Michael (18), of .Queens
way,. Waddington, was d e l ig h t e d ' ,w h en :;h e received the news, in a let ter on Monday morning. It was the'last year in which he could win the award, for next year he, will be com peting in the s en io r classes. Throughout the year,
Michael has proved himself worthy of such an honour. His achievements include running for Britain in both track and cross-country events, winning the inter- national junior cross country championship, set ting. a European 3,000 metres record and reach ing personal best times in many events. M ich a e l , who is a
member of Blackburn Har riers, is recovering from a recent injury, and on Sun day, he had a nine-mile run to start his training again. If all goes well, he will compete in the national indoor championships at Cosford during the winter.
reorganisation, but they are against the' continued use of the boys’ school buildings in York . Street even fo r a temporary period. “ The governors are
firmly opposed to an interim scheme which would make it possible to go ahead with ah 11 to 18 mixed school using a split site for a short time,” Mr Fred Calvert, District Education Officer, told the District Liaison Commit
tee for Education. ■
s, Assurances In a rep o rt on the
Clitheroe proposals, the County, Education Com mittee says the governors are not prepared to issue the public notices neces sary for their implementa tion until assurances have been given about the enlargement of the girls! school and the discontinua tion of the use of the York Street premises. However, present build
ing restrictions make it impossible to give such assurances.
The Department of Edu
liams) Secretary of State,- is to be told of the present position. . When reorganisation
cation and Science has asked the County Council what is happening about the reorganisation of sec ondary education in the area and Mrs Shirley Wil
takes place there will be two six-form entry mixed schools in Clitheroe — one based on Ribblesdale
County Secondary School and another created by the amalgamation of the two grammar schools. In addition, Bowland
County. Secondary School will become an 11 to 16 mixed school with a two' or 2V6-form entry.
Re-elected
THE District Liaison Committee for Education in; Clitheroe and the sur rounding area has r e elected County Coun. Hairy Eastwood as Chair man and C ou n . : Tom Robinson, of Clitheroe, as vice-chairman.

The residents, who have by the Ribble Valley Coun-
.cil’s Development Sub committee, we will make our voices heard,” said Mrs Barbara Speak, a member of the association. Residents will be pre
senting a protest petition which also contains the sig-
... natures of people who live in. Warwick Drive. They are equally concerned about possible drainage
. problems and about 30 of them have indicated that they too will be at tonight’s meeting. This afternoon, a sur
veyor. from Lancashire County Council "and an official from .the’
..county highways department will visit Moorland Estate at the invitation of the resi dents.
In addition, the' Moor ..
land residents have asked Clitheroe Division MP Mr David Walder to find out if a public inquiry could be held if the plan is approved tonight. The residents hope to
have the support of three or four Ribble Valley coun cillors at the meeting. Last month, Clitheroe Town Council added its weight to the residents’ grievances by reversing an earlier vote of “no objection” pas sed by the council’s plan ning committee in July. The Ribble V a lley ’ s
Deputy Planning Officer Mr Peter Nock told our reporter that the Develop ment Committee could only refuse the application on planning grounds.

day said to be improving. Ian’s mother, Mrs G. R.
Mitchell, said that her son was still too dazed to talk. ... “ All he remembers is going over a bump in the road and seeing the tele graph pole appear,” she said. “ I’m very grateful to the
passing motorist who went for help. It is a lonely road, so the lads were lucky to have been spotted.”
Off the road
DUE to a mechanical' fai lure, there will be no ser vices from the Ribble Val ley’s small travelling lib rary until further notice. B o r r o w e r s w i l l be
informed by telephone wherever possible: Sup plies of library books may be obtained by joining any of the branch libraries in the Ribble Valley. ■
If the committee refused
detailed planning permis sion, the builders, a Leigh firm, would have an auto matic right to appeal against the decision within six months. Therefore there had to be good plan ning reasons for refusal. Mr Nock added that if
the committee approved the plan, the decision would be binding on the council. “ If the plan is approved, that’s the end of tne road as far as planning is concerned,” he said.
