Well-known i gardener


A LINK with the Salva­ tion Army’s earliest days in Clitheroe has been severed by the death 'on Tuesday of Miss Isobel Avril Churchill Ireland, of Eshton Terrace! She was 81.


Miss Ireland was the


daughter of Henry and Ra chel Ire lan d . Her mother, the former Capt. Elizabeth Rachel Chur­ chill, was a member of the Burnley detachment which established . the Salvation Army in Clitheroe in January, 1889, in the former Primitive Method­ ist Chapel in Shawbridge Street. Miss Ireland was a


familiar figure in Clitheroe for many years. She was usually observed wearing a beret apd raincoat and almost invariably with a bicycle. Her weatherbeaten com­


plexion was a testimony, to her- outdoor life as a gar­ dener, work which made her*videly known through­ out the town.

Junction not safe enough


THE safety aspect of the junction of Duck Street


■and Lowergate, Clitheroe; was criticised by the town’s magistrates at Tuesday’s court. After fining a Poulton


le-Fylde man £60 for driv­ ing without care and atten­ tion, chairman of the magistrates Mr A. C. D. Coombes told Chief Insp. T. Sumner that steps should be taken to make the junction safer for motorists. In a 'letter to the court,


Eric Cooke blamed his off­ ence on the poor visibility for drivers at the junction.


CLOCK WILL BE RAY’S REMINDER


A WALL clock will be a lasting reminder to Mr Raymond Calvert of his 23 years’ association with


R ib b le sd a le Cement Works. M r C a l v e r t , a


chargehand fitter, of Chat- burn Old Road, Clitheroe, retired at the weekend. On Friday at a get-


together with workmates at Wellgate Social Club he received the clock from


welder Mr Richard Cow- perthwaite. Mr Calvert’s wife Mar­


garet was given a bouquet of flowers. At the celebra­ tion were the couple’ s daughter, Mrs Vivien Taylor, of Clitheroe, and


grand-daughter Mrs Susan Hosty. After working as a


motor mechanic and on site plant maintenance, Mr Calvert joined Ribblesdale


Cement as a maintenance fitter in 1956.


In 1969 he became a chargehand looking after the cement grinding and packing plants.


D u r i n g the* wa r , Chtheroe-born Mr Calvert


saw action with the Ter­


ritorial Army as a staff sergeant. • In his retirement he


wants to spend more time tending his garden. He was 65 on Saturday and enjoyed a second


celebration at home with his family. Pictured are Mr and Mrs


Calvert with Mr Cowper- thwaite (right).
