THE identity of the white- bearded man in th e bowler, whose photograph
appeared in recent edi tion of the Advertiser and Times, is no longer a mystery.'...
Readers will recall that
the postcard showing him resting his laden pony on Whalley Nab was sent to us with the suggestion that he was perhaps one of the last pack-horse dri’drivers.
Mrs M. Bracewell now
writes from the farm in the picture — Proctor Farm, Whalley Nab — to say that she, too, has a copy of the postcard.
Postmarked 1909, it was
among papers which pas sed to her in the 1950s after the move to the farm. Her curiosity about the
John Wilkinson “fra Whal ley Bonks,” who early in the century carried farm produce on his pony to Whalley and returned with his weekly provisions. - Mrs Bracewell mentions
an interesting coincidence. Her daughter married Mr
galow built on the site of the farm stable and have thus, after all these years, re-established a family connection.

bearded man’s identity w a s s a t i s f i e d by a Clitheroe pensioner, who used to clean Whalley bus station. On sunny morn ings he liked to walk up the hill to see “the old place” where his grandfather, Mr Aspden, had farmed for 40 years. The bearded man was
The committee, includ
ing a number of parish councillors and the Vicar of Langho, the Rev. Paul Warren; will meet again early .in the New Year to appoint officials ; and dis cuss fund-raising ideas. It 'will also consider possible sites for the centre.
About 70 residents from
the two villages, attended th e m e e t in g in St Leonard’s School, Langho, despite atrocious weather.
They listened to Mr
Daniel Pearson, a Lanca shire ’ Community Council official, . explain how the project could take shape.
A f te rw a rd s it was
decided to invite all organ isations in the villages to appoint a representative to the committee. _ The success of the meet ing delighted Ribble Val ley councillor Mrs Olga Leach who, with other members of the villages’ Sports Committee, has been trying for some time to stimulate interest in a
’centre. "It was a very good turn
out of a cross-section of villagers. I am now more optimistic than ever about the project because the public have showh their interest,” she added.
Winter walks
WINTER walks on the first Saturday of each month are being arranged by the Clitheroe Ramblers’ Association.1 They start from Clitheroe station at 10 a.m. . . The walk led by Mr T.
Hardcastle was to Ogden Clough by way of Jubilee
Mill. High Moor and Mearley Moor. From the Nick of Pen-
dle, the way home lay through Wiswell, Standen Hall and Lower Standen.
Firm did not log driver’s hours
A CLITHEROE firm was fined a total of £140 by the town’s magistrates on seven summonses involv ing the hours worked and “logged” - by one of its drivers.. The firm, Castle Cast
ings, was also ordered to pay £40 costs and the driver, Frank Hartley, of Blackburn, was fined £5 for exceeding the permit ted working day of 11 hours, and £5 for not enter ing required information in the driver’s control book. The company, r ep
resented by Mr Bill Green wood, admitted the off ences; but said they had come about because of mis understandings by both the driver'ana manage ment' of a very complex part of the law.. Mr Jonathon Lawton,
prosecuting,' agreed that there had been no attempt to “fiddle the system” but that strict controls had to be enforced. ■ The firm was fined £20
for causing; the driver to fail to enter the correct information and a further £20 for allowing him to
.exceed the permitted working hours. The firm was also fined £20 ’on each of five summonses of fail ing to examine and sign daily sheets in the driver’s record book within seven days of receiving them.

-Entries pour in for heraldry competition
stage a heraldry competition as part of their children’s Christmas production “King Patch and Mr Simpkins” — but they wondered if anyone would enter.
CLITHEROE Parish' Church Players decided to They needn’t have wor
ried. A lto g e th e r 506 entries were received from school children and quality in the four classes was so high that the judges found it hard to pick the winners.
There -is a heraldic
theme to the play, in which Patch, a redundant court jester, becomes king.
The organisers thought
the competition would teach heraldry and artistic skills, as well as creating interest in the play.
Twins win identical award—naturally!
LANGHO twins Carole and Barbara Hargreaves not only look alike, think alike and dress alike, but they share each other’s interests and hobbies.
So, it was no surprise to
their family when it was learnt that the 14-year-old sisters, of Mytton Fold Farm, are both to receive the coveted Queen’s Guide award.
And no-one was more
pleased than their mother, Mrs Lilian Hargraves, who became their Guider when a new St Leonardos com-
er.
greaves .was assistant to Mrs Barbara Cooper of the 1st St Leonard’s Company. The girls, who are keen
as mustard on Guiding and are patrol leaders in the new company, will be pre sented with their awards by the County Guides camp adviser, Mrs Mau reen Brown, during Even

The girls joined the rnana8ement-
Guides after being Brow nies from the age of seven. To gain the Queen’s Award they have undertaken numerous projects to win their service flash and badges.
Among the tests was
that for a patrol camp per mit which qualifies them to take Guides to camp.

MARTIN’S made a bad start to this important clash when Barnes put through his own goal after four minutes while trying to clear. Martin’s equalised after 20 minutes when the Keys’ ’keeper failed to hold the ball and Wykes followed up to stab it home. Keys again took the lead in the 21st minute with a great free kick from outside the box by P. Jackson. ' Martin’s equalised in the last seconds of the half with an own goal by Metcalfe. After the interval Martin’s quickly settled down and B. Donnelly (60th minute) put them back in the lead with a good run and shot and Wykes added another. Both teams fought hard but t .h..e only other goal came from S. Jackson
