Four earn top Scout award


F O U R Cl i t h e r o e teenagers have gained the highest Scouting honour. Ian Fielding, Derek

out SABDEN Horticultural Society is looking forward to another successful season. And as a sign that spring


is at hand, seed for the popular potato-weighing competition will shortly be distributed. For a village society it


has a membership that must be the envy of many. The total is 132 and it can be reckoned that a great many of them will be vying for honours at the annual show on August 23rd. People who have long


contributed to the society’s success include former Ribble Valley Councillor Miss Alice Alston and joint show secretaries Mr James Newby and Mr Alan Cliff. Mr Newby has notched


35 years’ service. Secret­ ary of the society as a whole is Mr Ronald Gouldsworthy. Tomorrow evening, 90


people will gather at the Black Bull Hotel, Riming- ton, for a dinner-dance.

Not real cream, I must emphasise, but butter cream and no worse for that. : They were both tempt­ ing and mouthwatering and as I sank my teeth into the first of them and licked my lips, into my mind flashed the memory of the first cream bun I ever ate.

Then, perhaps a year or

Lovely thick cream it

today. Hygienically produced


and packed, of course, free from every possible source of contamination, but tast- ing nothing like the heavenly stuff that went into Mrs’ Harg reaves ' cream buns. As different, as the saying goes, “as cheese from chalk.” • These very special buns, naturally, were expensive
