PICTURE the scene of a pretty Tyrolean town, a handsome hero and haunt­ ing songs, and you would have been-at tne “White Horse ’ In n ” when it reopened its doors in Clitneroe on Monday night after an absence of 22


years. And what a reopening it


was! Gay costumes, sing- along songs, foot-stamping dances and an almost fault- • free performance from the large cast, as they sang their way through the tale of romance at the Austrian inn. The pretty scenery was

[Attempt to keep committee fails


HALF the members of the Ribble Valley Council are wasting their time attending meetings because their power has been eroded by the Policy and Resources Committee.


Tuesda; council by Coun. Bob Ains


The claim was made at day's meeting of the Coun


worth (Clitheroe), arguing against the relegation of the Finance and. General Purpose Committee to a sub-committee. More and more power


was being delegated to the Policy ana Resources Com­ mittee, he said,; It was important to keep a full' finance committee in order to give other members con­ trol over some aspects of the council’s spending, rather than relegate it. But the relegation prop­


osal was approved after b ein g backed by the finance committee’s chair­ man, Coun. Fred Singleton (Longridge) and vice- chairman Coun. Edwin Gretton (Grindleton). Coun. Gretton said some

members were suffering from delusions of grandeur. They wanted to determine the council’s policy over rates when, at times, there had not been a good enough attendance for a quorum. Coun. leader, Coun.

With the aid of slides,

revived happy memories for those patrons who saw it the first time around at the King Lane Hall in 1958 — and even more so for those who took part 22 years ago. Many are still a c t i v e m em b e r s of Clitheroe’s Parish Church Operatic and Dramatic Society and are helping out' with this week’s perform-


ances. The “White Horse Inn”


is one of the happiest and most ambitious musicals staged by the society. Its opening night suc­


cess on Monday was in no small way due to the out­ standing performance of R o g e r D u g d a le as Leopold, the handsome lovelorn head waiter. His rich voice came over well and his little-boy-lost look soon won the audience’s affections.
