A HOST of different stalls left customers full of the joys of spring at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School. For the third
successive year a "Spring happening” took place in the school hall, with something for all the family. Craft and cake
stalls, a tombola and sideshows were featured and guests could relax afterwards at a coffee bar or with a drop of beer from the real ale bar. For the more
energetic there was a chance to take to the floor at a disco run by pupils. The evening was

arranged by the Friends of CRGS and the Old Clitheronians’ Association. More than £500 was raised, which the two organisations will share, before deciding how it can best be used to provide facilities for the school. Our picture shows
some of those who manned the leather and woodwork stall. In charge were Mrs Wendy Simpson (third from the left, at the back), and Mrs Brenda Simpson (next right).

Langho driver hid in wood after crash
POLICE found a Langho motorist hiding in a wood after he had been involved in a car crash, Clitheroe magistrates were told.
Ivan Jacques (42), a
chartered accountant, of Woodside, Whalley Old Road, was fined £200 for not supplying a specimen for laboratory test, dis qualified from driving for three years and given a three-month jail sentence, suspended for two years.
He was fined a further
£25 for not providing a breath specimen, £60 for driving without due care and £40 for failing to stop after an accident.
He was also ordered to
pay an advocate’s fee of £25 and a doctor’s fee of
£12.75. Mr W. D. Greenwood,
prosecuting, said the colli sion happened at the junc tion of Parsonage Road and Whalley Ola Road, Wilpshire.
Mr Roger Farley, for
Jacques, said he looked back on the incident with shame and regret. He was under great stress at the time but had not sought to avoid detection.
Cost hits church guide
INFLATION has caught up with St Helen’s Church, Waddington. A publication combining
the history of the church and a guide to the village, first published in 1974, by Mrs Nora Goodchild, wife of the vicar, has 'been replaced by a four page leaflet.
Following the sell out of
the original books priced 25p, it was found that re issues would be far too costly.
Mrs Goodchild has
reduced the booklet to a concise and interesting account of the church’s his tory and interesting fea tures, including the tower, nave, chancel, Waddow and Browsholme Chapels, a medieval window, the Calverley brass and chur chyard.

Seventeen contests in the parishes
JUST three weeks after going to the polls in the general and dis trict council elections, voters will a week today have the chance to decide the composi tion of their town and parish councils.
In the 38 parishes more
than 250 people have been nominated. But only vot ers in 13 parishes will actu ally go to the polls in 17 contests, involving 141 candidates. There are con tests in each of the four Clitheroe wards and in the two at Longridge.
Elsewhere, contests are
at: Read (10 candidates for 8 seats), Chatburn (9 for 8), Chipping (8 for 6), R o chester (10 for 7), Whalley — but not the joint parish of Little Mitton — (9 for 7), Billington (13 for 9), Waddington (9 for 7), West Bradford (6 for 5), New- ton-in-Bowland (7 for 5), Bolton-by-Bowland — not Gisburn Forest and Saw- ley — (8 for 7), Slaidburn — not Easington — (6 for
5). The keenest struggles
will be in Clitheroe. The breakthrough by the Inde
pendents in the district elections, at the expense of the Tories, has added spice to the contests in the town.
Same again
POLLING stations for the parish council elections icill be the same as those used in the recent general and district elections — except at Chat
burn. Here the voting icill take place in the same
building — Chatburn CE School — but this time the adjoining county council library-school clinic will also be used, and there will be a separate entrance. This will enable the school to remain open whereas it had to close on May 3rd. No poll cards will be issued for the elections, and
no information will be sent to electors direct from the Returning Officer. However, they may receive communications from the candidates. Allp’eople whose names appear on the current Register of Electors, or who will be IS-years-old by May 24th,
are eligible to vote. Anyone in doubt should check the Register at their nearest post office or at the Castle Offices,
Clitheroe. There will be no postal vote next iceek, so
everyone must vote in person. This also applies to Merchant seamen and civilians who normally vote by proxy. Service voters can, however, vote through their duly-appointed proxies.
women returned to the Ribble Valley Council, all but one (Coun. Mrs Beryl Cassidy), will be seeking seats at Clitheroe. And of the remaining 19 unsuc cessful district council can- d id a te s , 15 w i ll be standing.
Of the 10 men and
Three newcomers to the list are: Accountant Harry
Pearson (Ind), a former member of the Town Council; Ribble Valley Council worker Bruce Dowles, who is standing as a Morris Dancer “as a poke in the eye” to the party system; and retired sales representative Thomas Leslie Whittaker (C), who has lived in St James’s ward for 30 years. Of the 10 members of
£500 boost for school
the present Clitheroe Town Council, former Conservative mayors John Blackburn, Leo Wells and Tom Robinson, Bert Jones (Lab) and current mayor Bob Ainsworth (Ind) are seeking re-election. After the disappoint
ment of the May 3rd elec tions, particularly in the Grammar School and St James’s wards, the Con servatives will be hoping to salvage something. But the Independents, how ever, are looking for a repeat of the vote. The parish council elec
tions should have been held on May 3rd, but were put off for three weeks because of the decision to hold the general and dis trict elections on the same day. This led to a remarkable
79 per cent, turn out in the local elections. In 1976 when the district and par ish elections were last com bined, the poll was a disap pointing 42 per cent. The count will take place
the same night. All votes in the Clitheroe wards will be counted at St James’s School. Votes from Lon gridge, Chipping and R o chester will be added up at Longridge High School; Whalley and Billington at St Augustine’s RC School, Billington; Read at the United Reformed School, Read; Chatburn, Bolton- by-Bowland, Waddington and West Bradford at Chatburn CE School; Newton and Slaidburn at Brennand’ s Endowed School, Slaidburn.
