Spring show brings out the smiles


A BRAVE display of daffodils and hyacinths gave members, of Rimington and District Hoi- ticultural Society good reason to smile at then


spring show. The Memorial Hall glowed with spring colour


on Saturday, the only dull note being the limited public support. Those who did attend enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon.


Awards were presented


by Mrs Betty Thompson wife of Mr T. R. Thomp­ son, society president. She was introduced by chairman Mrs W. M. Elli­ son, who was accom­ panied on the platform by Mr Ernest Sedgwick, the energetic secretary.


The award for the best


exhibit in the show went to Mrs IC. Schosland (Roughlee), who also took the prize for the best pot


plant.' Best floral art entry


was made by another Rouglee member, Mrs M. Randall. The prize for the best children’s entry went to D. Thistleth-


waite. The horticulture classes


were judged, by Mr Roger Hirst, Ribble Valley parks superintendent and

AN application to build a bungalow at Smithy Garage, Tosside, has been turned down by the Ribble Valley Council’s Development Sub-Com­


mittee. It felt the proposal


would not be appropriate in such an area of out­ standing natural beauty and, if approved, it could lead to similar applica­ tions, which would be dif­ ficult to refuse. An outline application


to erect a detached bun­ galow on land at Read Park,' Read, was refused for similar reasons. A further .objection was made on road safety and highway p lanning grounds.

Paper sales pay club heating bill


SALES of waste paper continue to be the major source of income for Clitheroe’s Pendle 1


Club. Last year, says the


nnual report of the


Jlitheroe Old People’ s Welfare Committee, sales cleared more than £1,800.


This income has taken


on added importance be­ cause bf the increasing cost of heating • the club


building. At £762^ for the year, the oil bill is up by some 50 per cent on the previous 12 months and the club owes much to | its energetic waste paper


team. Acknowledged also is


its indebtedness to Rib­ blesdale Cement employ­ ees “for their large and regular subscriptions,” to Trutex' and ICl for sub- stantial contributions of waste paper and card­ board, and to others who regularly give quantities [ of papers and magazines.


During the year mem- I


bers had talks, musical af- ternoons, a flower arrang­ ing demonstration, a couple of outings and a birthday party.


Other activities were


whist, bridge, old-time dancing, keep-fit, crochet and cookery classes.


The Ribblesdale Rotary


Club is gratefully remem­ bered for decorating the television room and pro­ viding a. fitted carpet and new curtains in time for Christmas.


Last year the luncheon


club provided nearly 2,500 meals at a cost of just over 60p such, of which the Ribble Valley Council made a subsidy of 31 V4p. Appreciation is expressed ^ to the voluntary helpers — cooks, servers, regis­ trars and transport driv­ ers for their regular help.


The report and financial


statement were approved at the annual meeting, at which the following offic­ ers were elected: Mr J. Robinson (chairman), Mr Brian Haig (vice-chair­ man), Mrs J. R. Biehler (secretary), Mr E. Tolson (treasurer).
