Long live the grouse!


COUNTRY lovers and conservationists are well served by local people such as Mr James Southworth. On the moors, heather is controlled and suitable grit provided for the grouse. Adequate water supplies are guarded. The indigenous British red grous should flourish — to be shot at! C. A. COURSE (Mrs) 14 Kirkmoor Road Clitheroe

TWO brothers who stole


wood from their employer were each fined £30 at Clitheroe. David Peter Greatorex

WHALLEY Church Players have a couple of problems. In their forthcoming produc­ tion of the thriller “The Sound of Murder,” one of the leading characters, a children’s author, has to be seen checking the proofs of his latest book. This was easy enough for


the Advertiser and Times to solve. Although our paper is now photoset and galley proofs are no longer used, we managed to locate some for the props department — E d i t h T r e v o r a n d Bernadette Gibson — from a weekly n ews p a p e r in Cheshire.

driving


WALKING home after a drink, 39-year-old Raymond Knowles and his wife of Longworth Lane, Billing- ton, were assaulted by their son. But when Knowles, who


had cont inued home by himself to clean up, decided to take out his car to look for his wife, he was stopped by the police for driving errac- tically. At Clitheroe. Knowles, a


club steward, was fined £50 and banned for 12 months for driving with excess alcohol in the blood. Mr W. D. Greenwood


(defending) said that after the incident in the street with the 18-year-old son, Knowles had been worried about his wife. In the cold light of day he should have phoned for a taxi or the police, but he had done what he thought was best in the circumstances. He had been stopped at 2 a.m. when there was no traffic about apart from the police car.
