Town is behind the times


SO the local pundits of propriety are again propounding their educ at ion al philosophies in the col­ umns of your news­ paper and, if you will allow me, I should like to venture a few random observations. First, after more than a


decade-and-a-half working in several countries of the world, it is always with an increasing sense of lament that I return to the charming little town of my childhood and see it sinking deeper into an en­ gulfing pit of petty paroc­ hialism.


Very recently the vehe­

were thought up by the politicians as a form of equality for all school-chil­ dren regardless of their standard of education.


The motive behind this


line of thought was purely vote-catching and was quickly incorporated into the policy of all parties.


The main idea behind


all this was that all pupils would wear the same un­ iform so that the drop­ outs and the “duck eggs” could not be distinguished from the bright ones. (This may sound harsh b u t .fh e truth can be


hard.) This was all right in


theory, but when serious problems arose in the schools and the teachers complained, the politi­ cians’ reactions were: “Oh dear, what can you do about it?” W h e r e u p o n th e


teachers replied: “You thought up the scheme, you solve the problem.” Mrs Josephine Farring­ ton should think again.

‘passing the buck’


IN last week’s Advertiser and Times I read with interest, and a slight degree of sadness, of Whalley Parish Council’s decision to form a Village Appraisal Steering Com­ mittee to assist in prepar­ ing and presenting a docu­ ment to the RibbTe Valley Council to be known as the “Whalley District Plan.”


Surely the parish coun­


cillors are the people we elected to look after our best interests. How then are they allowed to “pass the buck” to a handful of people with no apparent expertise. Is anyone on this committee a survey­ or, planner designer or architect?


When -the steering com­


mittee has reported its findings to the Parish Council, which will in turn report to the Ribble Valley Council, who will report back to the Parish Council,; who will no doubt report to the steer­ ing committee — where will we, the old and the young of Whalley be?

times, before and since Easter, only to find it not running — after travelling from the Rossendale Valley.

last, I see the enclosure in which it is kept is untidy and really looks an eye­ sore. Surely it can be kept in better order!


I remember a letter in


your paper about two years ago telling the public how enjoyable the railway would when ev­ erything was set up.


MR R. BUTTERWORTH,


11 Walnut Avenue, Haslingden.


Mr P. S p eakm an ,


chairman of the Black­ burn Model Engineering Society, which runs the railway, said: “ The reason the railway has not been running is be­ cause we have been fit­ ting an anti-tipping rail to prevent children from leaning out and being hurt. Members have been working all winter to fit the device, which has cost about £600.


“The main • untidiness


is the long grass, which we have been unable to cut because the mower has been broken and parts were not available. A member is now fixing the mower and it should be working next week.


“I am not sure just


when Mr Butterworth visited the site, but re­ c en t ly we have been clearing out a shed. We had to leave the burning of rubbish from the weekend until the Wed­ nesday because we did not want to disturb vis­ itors.V


“We are endeavouring


to tidy up the’site and hope that, should Mr Butterworth v is it us again, he will find mat- ters much improved.”


seen at any of the plays which have now been run­ ning some 14 years. Whether we agree with


local authority reorganisa­ tion or not, it is here and it is the moral responsibil­ ity of every councillor to work for the good of the local population — not to spend time sniping and back-biting. To do this under the


g u is e of maintaining custom and tradition, as in the case of Clitheroe Town Council, could almost be classed as acting dishonestly. Gentlemen of Ribble


Valley and Clitheroe Town Councils, I ask you, examine your motives for being in public office and when you have done that knuckle down to the busi­ ness of running our area for the benefit of its people. Incidentally, one of the


drama trophies was only presented two years ago, so there is no way this could be owned by the former town council.

CND mislead the public when they continually talk of the horrors of nuclear war in the same breath as they advocate the aban­ donment of the nuclear deterrent by Britain.


Unilateral renunciation


of the Bomb by Britain would hardly increase the chances of Russia coming to the conference table and agreeing to controlled disarmament.


So unilateral disarma­


ment by Britain, by weakening the West’s de­ terrent would, in fact, in­ crease the chances of nuc­ lear war rather than reduce it.


Even a neutral Britain,


strategically placed as she is; could not escape the horrors of a war between East and West, any more than did Norway, De­ nm a rk , Y u g o s la v ia , Greece (the list goes on the last

as we do not repeat the mistakes of the pre-war years, so long as we do not become riddled with pacifism and so lose our national pride as to give the impression to a poten­ tial enemy that he can safely do what he wants, we will not have to face again the horrors of a world war.


But that is no reason


why we should not recog-, nise that in the\ event of disaster occurring, either as a result of pacifist policies leaving us de­ fenceless on the one hand or the Russians making a fatal miscalculation as to our willingness to resist on the other, we should not do what we can in the field of Civil Defence. Mr Richardson does ho ser­ vice to anyone when he talks about no survivors.


“Non Aligned” in his


letter was, I suppose, trying to be funny. What I find funny (funny pecul­ iar, not funny good for a laugh) is that “Non- Aligned” talks of the Rus­ sians being “Blasted off the map by friendly American missiles.” What about the other way around? Or is that a possi­ bility which would never cross his mind?


Incidentally, I am rather


upset at “Non-Aligned” thinking that I would dash for the bunker with my friends and a lifetime of supplies. He must think that I have got very few friends as the so-called bunker (in fact an Obser­ vation Post) is 12ft. long and 7ft. wide and contains two beds, one small table and a chair.


DAVID WADDINGTON, Clitheroe Division MP,


all be-


mto our urban environ­ ment. But change in Clitheroe


is seemingly a sin of the first dimension, either to build fresh new buildings for the convenience of tne public — ourselves. — or to p h a s e ou t su c h academic anachronisms of the past like our local Grammar Schools. I am a former pupil of


this apparently “royal” in­ stitution of education. As a teacher in former Gram­ mar Schools of Darwen and Cheshire, I would no doubt have enthusiastical­ ly endorsed the plaintive pleas for the retention of


Grammar Schools if I had not been able to view edu­ cation in Britian from wider perspectives. Thrown into the mixing


pot of comprehensive edu­ cation in another country (New Zealand) and having thrown off the superficial­ ity of my academic digni­


ty, I not only had the pleasure of one of my Dnghtest-ever classes (in ability and personality), but the new, sometimes breathtaking experience of meeting those whose ability in academic terms goes little further than the laborious scribble of their own names. But they had other


abilities — and. they taught me the beauty of the breadth and exhilara­ tion of humanity which I could never have experi­ enced.if education is to be confined in the boxes of its dull, traditional confor­


mity. Our local pundits argue


for the retention of this depressing conformity — stilling to the personality,, mind and soul of teachers and pupils. The ■ result is that we


have a- society divided so­ cially and p o litically almost as strongly as’ a


country like South Africa is divided racially. The very arrogance that culti­ vates this smug compla­ cency makes us oblivious­ ly guilty in national terms of the most pretentious hygo


poensy. • Bri

can never be understood in England — a country in which the prerogatives of the elite and the establ­ ishment are so peevishly preserved. This is reflected, as I


was trying to illustrate in the earlier paragraphs, in the narrow-minded men­ tality of our little town. Change nothing! '


In Clitheroe we have


banks so small and cramped that at peak times' like Christmas, or now before the holidays, the queue of customers reaches out into the street — reminiscent of people in Poland queueing for food.


Not that there is any


shortage of money in Bri­ tain, but the problem is its' distribution. The last figures I read were that five per cent of the coun­ try owns privately 70 per cent of its wealth.


Look at our other


amenities in our town — a main Post Office where we, the public, are shepherded through metal stalls like cattle ready for sale or slaughter at an auction mart.


When you ask at the


Post Office for telephone facilities, you are told there are none. You are directed to the nearest


street booth and this, like any other telephone booth in the town, is sure to be in a state of filthy negleot — a cause for shame if we ever have any foreign vis­ itors.


But can we expect any- ring better when the


worthy citizens of our an­ cient borough direct all their energies to keeping the town in the state it was when it was founded more than 800 years ago?

Progress report


WORK is progressing well on the Ribble Valley Council’s Sheltered Hous­ ing Scheme at Vale House Close, Whalley. In a report to the Coun­


cil’s Housing Committee, Borough Planning and Technical Officer Mr Philip Bailey said the con­ tractors had made fair progress in the advance contract period. A small amount of work


that had required spend­ ing on contingency items


would enable a gross saving of about £9,000 on the contract sum of £84,500. Members appointed the


chairman ana vice-chair­ man of the committee to. approve the acceptance of tne lowest tenders for the main contract.

Hit woman with fist in temper


A RELATIONSHIP bet­ ween a Clitheroe man and a woman had soured, Mr Stephen Barker, defend­ in g , told the town’s magistrates when Robert Louis Stevenson (22), of Whipp Avenue, admitted a summons of malicious wounding. .


Mr Barker said the


woman wanted to end the relationship, but Steven


son did not. Stevenson was fined


£50 with £25 costs. He was also in breach of a suspended sentence and the magistrates extended this for a further three months suspended for two years.. Prosecutor Mr Graham


Duff said the pair had lived together for two years but there had been disagreements and the re­ lationship had deterior­ ated. Stevenson,- said Mr


Duff, lost his temper when the woman tried to leave the house. He hit her with his fist and butted her, causing a half­ inch cut on the forehead.


■In a statement Stevenson had said he regretted his action.

Lowergate — one of five pubs in the town now sel­ ling real ale — was named "pub of : the month” for July and Gordon and his wife Sandra were pre­ sented with a certificate by CAMRA branch chair­ man Mr Mike Kershaw. The Buck, which is the


only Clitheroe pub to h a v e f e a t u r e d -i.n CAMRA’S National Good


Beer Guide for the last eight years, caters mainly for young people ana there i s ' an active darts team which appreciates real ale. Gordon (43), who has


been at the Buck for 10 years, has always been a keen supporter of real ale and was a driving force behind the first-ever beer festival in East Lanca­ shire in 1975. His secret of keeping a


good pint of real ale is regular cleaning of the beer lines and a constant cellar temperature of 56 deg. F.

school year will have started by the time Mr Carlisle considers our appeal,” said Mr Murray. “Consequently, it will


be October or November before we know of his de­ cision and, by then, a number of five-year-olds will be well into tneir first term and their parents will have no idea where they stand. “Time, of course, is of


the essence to us and we are still hopeful that we will save the school. “The way the notices


were published is really typical of the shabby and confused way in which we have been treated all along the line and I have written a letter to that effect to the county coun­ cil’s chief education officer this week.” Mr Murray said the

committee had figures to prove that the school roll could reach 22 pupils next term — riot 16 as the county council has claimed — and as many as 30 by 1985. “These figures will form


the basis of our argu­ ment,” said Mr Murray. “We are a growing, de­ veloping village and as well as there being up to 10 newly-married couples in the area, empty houses are ' being filled all the time.” The school, which this


afternoon closes for the summer holidays, current­ ly has 18 pupils and places there will continue to be advertised throughout the coming months. A £30,000 extension


was built only five years ago and has added greatly to the comfort of pupils and staff. A glossy brochure det­


ailing the advantages of village education was pro­ duced by the action com­ mittee earlier this year and has since been circu­ lated to every home in the Bolton-by-Bowland area and beyond.

Plan for houses


‘premature’


AN application for per­ mission to build houses on 10 acres of land at K n u n ck K n o w l e s , Clitheroe, has been re­ fused on the grounds that it is premature. The refusal has been


made by the Ribble Valley Council’s Develop­ ment Sub-committee acting on the recommen- dation of Mr Philip Bailey, Planning and Technical Officer. The application was op­


posed by Clitheroe Town Council and nearby resi­ dents and in his recom­ mendation Mr Bailey says it should be made clear to the applicant, F. Entwis­ tle and Co., that a final decision on the site will be made when the result is known of a public inquiry into the District Plan in October.
