Kill-joy attitude


MR JOHN HARTLEY, of Whalley, who complained last week of the “wanton waste” of wood on Guy Fawkes night should be ashamed of his kill-joy attitude towards the bon­ fire staged for the families of Clitneroe and District with a view of cutting the number of accidents and injuries. In the event, the even­


ing proved a great success in removing unwanted fur­ niture and effects from householders and mills where storage space was cluttered. No-one was injured or burned and a good time was enjoyed by all present. A quantity of wood

THE Ribble Valley can actually take the credit for all three of the competitors in the Lancashire Federa­ tion of WI’s team which


won the BBC’s nationwide radio quiz. For in addition to two of


the winning trio living loc­ ally, it turns out that the th i r d m em b e r , Mrs Rosemary Blanchfield, has connections, with the area. She now lives in Kir-


kham, but was born in Langho and attended St Mary's School there. Mrs Blanchfield is the


daughter of Mrs Agnes Walker and the late Mr John Walker. Her mother lived in the lower Hodder district before her mar­ riage. Completing the line-up


were Mrs C h r is t in e Thistlethwaite, of Lower Gills Farm, Rimington, and Mrs Margaret Lupton, of Ravelston House, Wad- dington.

They have a conical rear end with an oval integral rear manhole valve, jiving a large access aperture and a valve that is easily accessible for maintenance.

The pump is protected with OUR NEWLY DESIGNED VACUUM CUT OFF FIL­ TER UNIT (patent pending) which is built into the top manhole making the unit easy to remove for servic­ ing and cleaning.
