LANGHO charge nurse Mr Arthur Bithell, who this week retired from Brockhall Hospital after 32 years, is not going to relax and take it easy. .


For in two months’ time,


he and his wife, Sylvia, will be heading for a new home in the wide open spaces of Australia. For Mrs Bithell, it will


be a lifelong ambition achieved, fo r she has always wanted to return to the land of kangaroos and koala bears where she was b o r n . She has few memories of the country, however, having come to England when she was three. The couple, both 62, of


Larkhill Cottages, are greatly looking forward to seeing their family again, for they will be joining their son and daughter out there. Larry (39), a nursing


tutor, emigrated to Colac, near Melbourne, fouryears ago. Valerie (32), a junior nursing sister, settled in Bundoora, 88 miles away, just nine months ago. Larry has three children


and Valerie two. Mr and Mrs Bithell’s


younger son, Arthur (21), who lives with his parents, has not yet decided if he will be emigrating with them. The couple are both excited at the prospect of


round & about


making a new life in Australia, but will miss their work.


Mr Bithell is leaving his


job with mixed feelings, for he will miss the many friends he has made during his 32 years at the hospital. At a retirement party he was given a digital clock and an onyx table lighter, and Mrs Bithell was pre­ sented with a huge bou­ quet of flowers.


Before joining Broc­


khall, Mr Bithell worked at Barrowford Print Works, where he met his wife. During the war he was a gunner in the Royal Artil­ lery.


Mrs Bithell, who has


been a dinner lady at St Mary’s RC School, Lan­ gho, for 17 years, retires at the end of next month. She has been a keen member of Billington and Langho WI, of which she is a founder member, and the hobbies she has followed while in the organisation have kept her occupied in her spare time.


Taking


the stage LANCASTER Footlights Club, winners of the pre­ mier award at the Ribble Valley Drama Festival this year with their production of Arden’s “Serjeant Mus- grave’s Dance,” have been awarded a place in the British “ All Winners” Invitation Festival to be staged in the Floral Hall, Fleetwood, on October 5th.


Also appearing in the


national finals are Studio One, Stoke-on-Trent, who w ere also among the Clitheroe prizewinners.


Members of the Execu­


tive of the National Associ­ ation will meet in the town next month to finalise arrangements fo r the national finals at Clitheroe Civic Hall in September and October 1980.

Prize exhibits


WHALLEY Methodist Hall will be full of prize vegetables and flowers on September 1st, when the Horticultural Society holds its annual show. This year a new trophy


has been donated by Mrs Florrie Birtweil, of Calder Vale, Whalley, in memory o f her late husband, William. The show is being

BOUND FOR BRUSSELS


TWO pairs of Lancashire clogs and two shaivls are urgently needed if Clitheroe is to show the flag at an international conference of Ladies’ Circles in Brus­ sels on August 22nd. At a reception on the first evening, representatives


will be wearing the national costumes of their country.


The British party has decided to wear county


costumes and Clitheroe representatives Mrs Susan Haig (Press officer) and Mrs Liz Parkinson (Area chairman) are looking for old Lancashire dress. With the other members of the Lancashire party

helped the boys cool off- quickly after their morning run each day. This spartan start was


merely a forerunner to other energetic activities such as canoeing, sailing and walking, which the party of 20 pupils and three teachers enjoyed during their five-day stay.


Need for


‘specials’ CLITHEROE needs more special constables and to tell the public just what the requirements are for joining, a recruitment tent will be set up on the Castle field during the country fair on August 12th. The exercise is part of a


general recruiting cam­ paign throughout the country. Training will be given at


various le c tu re s and weekend courses at Hut­ ton, but applicants have to be over 21. The men must be at least 5ft. 6ins. tall and the women oft. 2ins.

Those wishing to help The branch would also


like to hear from people interested in becoming Samaritans. It costs about £3,000 a year to run a 24- hour service and 84 people are required each week to carry out the work.


RECENTLY duties and pleasure (actually, the two have been synonymous) have taken me some dis­ tance from this Whal­ ley Window and as I have travelled the country, my curiosity has been aroused by the very unusual names of some of the towns and villages I have come across. Names are evocative '


things and when one meets a particularly curious one,


boldly painted upon a sign­ post or carved deeply in


some ancient milestone, all k in d s o f p i c t u r e s immediately begin to form in the mind. For instance, what could

be more intriguing than to find a village labelled Pip­ ers Pool (you’ll find it down in Cornwall)? Right away, memories


o f “ Ham’elin town in Brunswick” are conjured up and visions of the"Pied Piper-and his train of rats dance before the eyes. You almost hear the shrill notes of his pipe! When one comes to the

hamlet of Stepaside in Welsh Dyfyd, one is com­ pelled to speculate how and why a spot with such a name ever came into being, or why it was so curiously christened. Nobody, I think, would


freely make their home in a village named Wooden — who ' on earth would ever wish to be known as a


Wooden person — but the place exists, I assure you,


and you will find it clearly marked on your road map. And surely, to dwell in a


township called Dole could be both embarrassing and depressing, particularly if you happened to be one of my unfortunate contem­ poraries who stood in long queues outside the coun- t r y ’ s many La b o u r exchanges in the grim days of the late 20s and early 30s. * The clergyman fortu­

the incredible townships I passed by, would surely consider himself blessed indeed; his church must surely be full to overflow­ ing at every service. Then again, why, in the


dim and distant past, was a Cornish village ever given the name of Hatt? Street names, too, are frequently more than a lit­


tle curious, as witness Rat­ tle Alley in the picturebook little town of Dunster, in lovely Somerset, though on this occasion it is not very difficult to guess the origin of the name in the first instance. Those circumstances


remain very little altered today and, after all, we once had a Gingling Alley in our own village; the nar­ row passage down which travellers once led their n a g s f o r ’ s t a b l i n g immediately behind, the Whalley Arms. Finally, how would a home in Paradise Street

the article," is a copy of the owner’s family tree which traces his ancestry all the way back to Samuel Lord, butcher, of Whalley', who was born circa 1808.” A long way, you will
