THE Ribble Valley’s new education ' chief helped out in his local education office after leaving school at 16 and waiting to go to college to train as a teacher^
^ Perhaps that is the
reason why Mr David Staton, who took over as District Education Officer on Monday, is a great be liever in “second chance education.” It does not stop at 16.
If education is successful it gives a person the in centive to go on learning for the rest of their lives, he believes. For this reason, in a

previous administrative post at Lancashire educa tion headquarters, Pre ston, he was very much involved in the adult liter acy scheme which has' taken off in a big way in Lancashire and now has over 1,000 volunteer “teachers."
He joined the Lanca
shire education service in 1971 and was based at" Preston until his present promotion. This has brought him
to the Ribble Valley at a' time when local schools — in particular the small vil lage schools — are very much in the public eye because of the threat of
. closure which is hanging over some of them. “ I ’m all for village'
schools, but the education authority has to provide schools where the young people are,” he says. “It is having to. make
very difficult decisions about its expenditure and no part of the education service can go untouched. “It has to provide a ser
vice in the most economi cal way it can and if there are no children in these villages it is difficult for the authority to justify providing schools. We are not creating the situation we are responding to ' a situation that is hap pening.” Mr Staton believes the

only way to ensure the ex istence o f village schools is by a complete regeneration of village life. “If there was industry
in the villages and people could live and work there, the schools would be • needed. However, this is
just the opposite to the present trend. Young families are having to move out of the villages to the towns and our schools can only reflect that pattern.” He has had a varied
career in education which . began a fte r he left teacher training college at. Matlock, Derbyshire, and taught geography at a Birmingham secondary school for two years. He then returned to his native Darlington to

THE death has occurred in Rochdale of Mr Wilfred Penman, formerly o f Highfield Road, Clitheroe.

brother, Bill, has lived in London for many years. The Penman brothers
were all sportsmen and Wilfred played cricket with Clitheroe between the wars, football with several local clubs and darts with most of the Whalley pub teams. He was a member of
the Swan Hotel’s champ ionship darts -team in 1951-52. For more than 30 years
he was a male nurse at Calderstones, where he lived in. A bachelor, he moved to live with a mar ried sister in Rochdale on his retirement in 1964.. Cremation took place at Accrington on Monday.
-teach. But his enthusiasm ■for outdoor pursuits and particularly the Duke of
; Edinburgh Award scheme led him to a post in youth work and, in 1966, he became' Darlington’ s youth, organiser. He came to Lancashire
as assistant county youth officer responsible for the development of the . ser vice, and, after re-organ- isation in 1974 became county adviser for youth and, community; education based at Blackburn — and covering’ three districts including, the Ribble Valley..
, During: the past two
years he has been assis tant education officer re sponsible ' for community education which has in volved youth work, adult education, the hospital and' prison service and non-vocational education for the over-16s, particu larly the young unem ployed. In this new post he is responsible for all Ribble Valley schools and all as pects of education in the valley.
“ It is important to
regard education as an overall service to the com munity, so I’m glad I’ye been able to cover so many aspects of education so far in my career,” he says. Out of office he is keen
on outdoor pursuits, par ticularly rock climbing, walking and skiing, and is on the executive of the Council for the Protection of Rural England. He shares his interests
with his wife Marion and children Andrew (14), Richard (12) and Helen (11). The family lives in Blackburn. Mr Staton succeeds Mr
Fred Calvert, who retired at the end of the year after a career in education spanning 44 years.

MP ‘no longer opposes’ plan to widen road
CLITHEROE Division MP Mr David Wadding ton has withdrawn an objection he made to a scheme to improve Straits Lane, Read, the
village in which he was brought up. Now hopes are high
that the lane will be wide ned within the next few months and provided with a footpath. Land owned by the
trustees of J. C. Wad dington — of whom Mr David Waddington is one — is involved in. the scheme.
In his letter to Lanca
shire County Council withdrawing his objection, Mr Waddington makes it clear that his co-trustees took the view that it was very much in the financial interest of the estate that the road-widening should go forward. 1 But from a personal viewpoint he felt that the
widening would contribute to a further urbanisation of Read. It might well result in more traffic using Straits Lane and traffic travelling very much faster.
However, Mr Wadding
ton tells the county coun cil that if the people of Read want the scheme to go forward: “ I cannot see that I have any right to .stand in their way.” He said there had been some misunderstanding about his original reasons for objecting.
Mr Jack Shaw, Read
Parish Council chairman, said the widening and footpath installation were very important for safety reasons, in view of the number of schoolchildren and others using the road.

A look at art sales ,
SLIDES of paintings of the 19th and early 20th centuries were shown to members of Clitheroe Antique Collectors’ Club by Mr Stephen Sartin, of Preston.-
He gave the estimated
maximum and minimum prices which the paintings could have been expected to fetch in auction at Sothebys, followed by the amounts they actually did realise between May and December last year.
From June onwards, he
observed that the general recession and a lack of investment in art had led to some works being with drawn from sale without reaching their reserve price. .
. At the next meeting, to
be held at the Sun Inn, Waddington, on February 2nd, members are invited to bring their own anti ques . for discussion by local expert Mr Henry Forrest.
