Play area is not


for dogs


THE' problem of dogs fouling public places was the subject of a heated discussion at Whalley Parish Council meeting. Members were discus­


s in g erecting" warning signs on the Abbots Way play area for dog owners to keep their pets on a lead.


i( But Court. Michael


Green said: “Keeping dogs on a lead is neither one thing nor another. We should stop people taking dogs on play areas al­


together.” - M em b e r s sa id dog


owners were 'letting their pets foul the playground and some people haa a ally .seen toddlers playing in the dirt.


. Coun. Peter Lancaster BEDS


said: “Most dog owners have gardens or back­ yards, so there is no excuse for them allowing their dogs to foul public places; ft is sheer irres


ponsibility.” • The council decided to


look into the possibility of applying for a by-law to prohibit dogs from the" play area. In the mean­ time, warning notices are to be erected.

Vital need for new

that we are falling behind on new industries,” said Coun. Edwin Gretton, of West Bradford. “The tex­ tile industry is declining all over the Western world. We cannot stop this although we must continue to give the in­ dustry all the support we can.” .

School cook's gifts


COOK at Brabin’s En­ dowed School, Chipping, for over 21 years, Mrs Enid Double, of Kirk­ lands; has decided to ex­ change her apron and cap for retirement. Mrs Double has almost


become,an institution over the years and her cheerful smile will undoubtedly be missed by children and


staff. : Pupils, parents and staff showed their ap­ preciation on Friday, when they invited her back to "the school to re­ ceive'a sheepskin rug and cut-glass brandy goblets." Her colleagues in , the


kitchen gave her a pair of vases and a dried flower arrangement. Each child made and


presented a card and Pamela Wadeson read a poem e n t i t l e d “Mrs Double.” The children then provided musical en­ tertainment.
