■Although Canon Butler
and his wife, Muriel, have opted for the country life, he' stressed: “We’re not coming to put our feet up, we’re coming to work.- We know very well that in a village there is far more to
do than people suspect.” \
His wife is a teacher and
licensed reader and will be helping in parish affairs.
The couple have a son,
Timothy and married daughter, Joy.
With his wife’s assist
ance Canon Butlin says: “I want to be friends with the people and for them to feel they’re welcome at the vic arage. I want to have a good look round and get to
know the life of the village • and co-operate with, the school.
“I want people to feel
that the church is part of the community in a relev ant way.” ,
Canon Butlin was born •
in India, where his parents met while working with missions. He came to Eng land when he was six.
H i s f a t h e r
grandfather were clergy men, and he was brought up in . the ! Bristol area where his father had two country parishes.
and A g r a d u a t e o f
Emmanuel College, Cam bridge, Canon Butlin trained for ordination at the London College of Divinity and has been in the ministry for 39 years.
All this time he has
spent in the north — at St Helens, Bootle, Salford, Manchester and now Bol ton, where he is Vicar of St Peter’s, Halliwell. ,

experience A NUMBER of Ribble Valley people were among the crowds who flocked to greet the Pope on his visit to Ireland.
When Pope John Paul II
walked among the millions gathered in Pheonix Park, Dublin, Miss Colette Brad ley (23), of Green Park, Whalley, and her aunt,
Mrs Alice Fo s te r , o f Woodfield View, Whalley, were only yards away. .
With them was Mrs
Lena Wallis, of Bank Cot tages, Billington.
C o le t t e , an o f f i c e
w o r k e r , o r ig in a l ly arranged to spend a fort-
. night in the Emerald Isle, but when she heard of the Pope’s visit she decided to prolong her s ta y fo r another week.
“It was a very emotional
experience and the tre mendous singing of the crowd is something I shall never forget,” said Col ette, who is a member of the RC Church of the English Martyrs, Whalley.
• Mrs Foster and Mrs Wallis went to Ireland spe cially to see the Pope and stayed with Mrs Foster’s sister in Dublin.
Two Clitheroe women
also made the trip “across the water” for the historic occasion. They were Mrs Rose Conti, of Kemple View, and Mrs Margaret Drews, of Dunster Grove.
“We spent eight hours in
the park, but the atmos phere of the event was so special that time seemed to fly by,” said Mrs Conti.
The two, both members
of SS Michael and John’s Church, Clitheroe, spent the weekend in Dublin before returning homq.
Noluck for Lions
FOR the past two months, Whalley and District Lions Club has been trying to find a suitable local candi date for the Lions Yo.uth Award Scheme. The scheme is designed

to foster and encourage, qualities of good citizen- snip within the youth of the community. The national award, open to individuals bet
ween the ages of 16 and 21, includes .a bursary to the value of £500.
In previous years the
Whalley club has had fair success in the competition and even sponsored the winner three years ago. But this year, despite going through all the usual channels of schools, youth organisations and volun tary services, not a single candidate has been put forward.
So come on, youth of the
Ribble Valley! Please con tact the Lions’ Youth Award Officer, Mr W. Edmondson, Millhouse Farm, Copster Green (Tel. Blackburn 48175). Entries must be in before the end of October. The candidate selected
by Whalley Lions, apart from receiving a small prize, will go forward to the Regional final and will also be entered for the Ribble Valley Mayor’s Boy/Girl of the Year Award.

..“King Patch and Mr Simp kins. In conjunction with the
Players’ Christmas pan tomime on December 13th, 14th and 15th, they are running a competition in which children of all ages are invited to design an heraldic emblem. Entry is free and forms

DAVID LEADS NEW CLUB
FOUNDER president
of the interim Rotaract Club of the Ribble Val ley, nurseryman David Bristol (23) will be leading the new club to achieve the worthwhile aim of service and friendship to the com munity.
David, a former pupil of
S e t t le High School, is a foreman at Barker’s Nurseries, Clitheroe. He is secretary of West Brad ford Football Club, having been a member since its formation' five years ago. He also enjoys playing squash and is a committee member of Clitheroe YFC.
David and his wife,
Janet, who works for the Trustee Savings Bank, live in H a y h u r s t S t r e e t , Clitheroe.
Until his marriage two
years ago, he lived with his parents, Mr and Mrs Bryan Bristol, of Whittak ers Farm, West Bradford.
The Rotaract move
ment, which is linked with Rotary, was formed to provide men and women between 18 and 28 with an opportunity for community service.
The impetus has cor
from the Rotary Clubs of Clitheroe and Ribblesdale, which will provide what ever assistance and gui dance is needed during its early days.
The club, which is start
ing with 60 members, will receive its charter in about three months. Meetings will be held fortnightly on Tuesdays at 8 p.m., at the S ta rk ie Arms Hotel, Clitheroe.
Other officials are: Mr
Mark Thornber (vice- president), Miss Catherine Haworth (secretary) and Mr Michael Hollis (trea surer). Council members are: Mr David Brass, Mr Peter Houghton, Mr Ber nard Marsden and Miss Lynda West.
Special date
THE coffee morning which Clitheroe Venture Scouts are holding in the Town Mayor’s Parlour a week on Saturday is of special importance this year to the group’s finance.
In addition to the annual
coffee morning, the Scouts used to hold two bingo ses sions at the Ribblesdale Sports and Social Club. But now’that the club has closed, they are unable to hold the sessions, which brought in about £200.
T he S c o u t s would
appreciate help at the cof fee morning by way of gifts for the sale or volun teers to make and: serve the coffee.
HELPING THE POOR CERAMICA
SEVERAL years ago I sat listening quietly to a very old lady as she reminisced and told me stories of her childhood, almost a century ago in the Whalley that used to be.
Her cottage home on the
Nabside commanded on e , of the lovliest views in the whole of . our district — right across the wide val ley to the fells of Lon- gridge and the hills of Rowland, while a turn to the left, on a good'day, -• revealed the broad estuary of-the Ribble and the thin strip of the Irish sea. As she talked, her tabby
cat curled contentedly at her feet. From time to time the little mongrel ter rier ran to the open door to. supervise the odd passing

I was reminded of
another lady who died 250 years earlier and whose mortal remains lie interred in the Shirebum Chapel in Mitton’s ancient church — Katherine, spouse of Sir Nicholas Shirburn.

In addition to these benefactions, . together
