Clitheroe for many years and was articled in the b o rou gh s u r v e y o r ’ s department from 1934 to 1937.


He • was assistant divi­

Mr Wordsworth moves permanently to his office in Whalley. .


At present he is working


at Cuerden, Preston, pre­ paring to hand over to his successor.


The Whalley division has


changed considerably since Mr Wordsworth was assis­ tant there. Local govern-, ment reorganisation -has added parts of the - old. Bowlana and Skipton rural areas to the. division.

Basking in the sun


W H IL E w e s h iv e r through the so-called


• “summer,” Clitheroe stu- . dent William James Mur-


, phy is enjoying tempera­ tures of over 80 degrees on the other s ide of th e ... Atlantic. : William (22), of Woone Lane, is in New York


State for the summer on a Camp America posting. He is jooking after a group of children aged between


nine and 15 at one of the adventure holiday camps.


In a letter to his mother,


Mrs Mary Murphy, he tells how the sun- is beating down en ab lin g ‘’him to spend most of his time; swimming and sunbathing.


During a four-day. stay


with a relative- in -New York State, William went on a tour of .the “Big Apple,” seeing the famous landmarks including the Statue of Liberty, and the United Nations HQ.


William says that the


camp itself is very pleas­ ant. He has been put in charge of pioneering, which means he takes groups of children on camping treks. His only problem so far has been losing an expensive hiking jacket. ,


S a id Mrs Murphy: ■


“When -I received the let­ ter I felt a bit envious — he’s basking in the sun­ shine and. we’re all shiver­ ing here. He certainly seems to be having a good time.” >


William, who has a B. Ed


ordinary degree, will embark on a tour of America by Greyhound bus after, completing his spell at the camp.


I came-to. an abrupt end. In . . the. mind’s ; e y e , it a l l


/seemed, so easy. Butwhen \ ; faced with reality, such an I ■ exploit could only end in disaster.

The final assault on j

‘ The climbing club team | is the first school expedi-1


tion ever to challenge the J main summit of the moun-1 tain. .


The mountain itself, i


covered in snow and I glaciers, is situated almost on the Equator in a climate where the days are sunny and the nights cool and | pleasant. It is becoming increasingly popular with

William and the rest of the I party will visit a number of national parks, including I Lake Nakuru in the Great ( Rift Valley — one of the | greatest spectacles of bird | life in the world. ;


If the present border !


. flare-ups between Kenya and Tanzania cease, it is possible that the team could attempt an assault on th e 1 9 ,0 0 0 f t . Mount Kilimanjaro during the last1 week: of their stay.: The mountain is the highest in [ Africa.


c- The party’s last day I
