Plant keeps

keeps on growing. The five-foot plant has
already outgrown the Baker living room and will soon be taller than Janet herself. So after learning from
threatening to chop it down any day now, so Janet has called on the Advertiser and Times to help her find it a good home.
The stone was planted
on Mr and Mrs Baker’s wedding day two-and-a- half years ago and given to them as a wedding pre- s e n t by Mrs Mary Daniels, manageress of the shop.

You can imagine the usual routine. A knock

LOOKING back over a fairly long life —
nowhere near long enough yet, I hasten to add! — inevitably one recalls with a genuine admiration, and indeed affection, those many people whose kindness and personalities in former years possibly influ enced the way in which o n e ’s own future developed. Among these — and, of
course, I exclude mem bers of my own family — one of the earliest was the superintendent of the primary department of the Clitheroe Sunday School I attended.
her Christian name was Harriet, but cannot be certain — was a very re markable woman; remark able to a degree I did not fully appreciate until years later. Widowed, with two sons to bring up, she worked full-time at Holmes Mill in an age when pensions and social security were practically non-existent. Her Woone Lane home
Mrs Coates — I believe
was immaculate and every Sunday she “ran the prim ary” and took her place in the chapel choir at every service.

in rehearsals for the chil dren’s night, which was always a feature of those splendid three nights of entertainment. She took a full and lead
ing part in every aspect of church life and many readers will, I know, recall her and love her as I grew to do myself. • Then there was my grammar school headmas ter, the. late Charles Matthew Henderson; dear old “Mat.” He smoked the

biggest briar pipe I have ever seen in the mouth of any man, before or since. To meet his cheery,
stocky figure marching up York Street followed by a fragrant, aromatic cloud of blue smoke was always a pleasure as we small boys respectfully tipped our caps. (We always had to wear our caps). ' The Head had the most amazing memory and the custom of addressing every one of his pupils by their full Christian names; even if the unfortunate lad was b le s sed (or cursed) with three and sometimes four such titles; every time they met, not only when at school but years later, when the boy had long ceased to be under his tutelage and direction. Mat had other idiosyn
crasies, too; a trick of leaning over and taking hold of the short hairs in the nape of the neck as he examined a boy’s work; the custom of repeating the same highly individual stories annually to illus trate a point in his i les sons; stories at which he laughed uproariously him self although, truth to tell, they were frequently so subtle that his younger scholars
quite.failed to get the point, but laughed dutifully all the same. In ’
all my years at the
school : I only ever saw him use the strap on two occasions, both well mer ited, and even at that early age it was clear to me how very much he
with tears and when he. said — as he did — “this hurts : me more than it
hated this part of his duties. ■ , His-eyes were suffused
does you,” he really meant it.
W h a tev er modern
educationists may think, the strap was a splendid deterrent and fear of it kept many of us from s tr a y in g from ‘‘the straight and narrow.”
Then there was D. D.
Morrell, a doctor I served with in the Air Force. He was one of the most caring and dedicated men I ever met, highly qual ified and whose sense of | duty was . always com bined with a deep and warm humanity.
I remember him sitting
up at the bedside of a young pilot, desperately ill with pneumonia, at a time when antibiotics were only in their infancy, throughout several long I nights until the crisis was safely over; A splendid man whose memory 11 revere.
Finally, although I]
could name many others, there is the lady, well past her 80th year, living only yards from my door-1 step.
In the- balmy days of I summer she has her
washing on . the line at j seven in , the morning. This ’is her regular custom, so witness my I surprise when I saw her “pegging out” at four in | the afternoon.
When I asked the
reason for this departure from routine, she gave the explantation simply. She had had house guests staying for several days, who had returned home earlier in the afternoon.
“After they’d gone,”
admire a lady — a lady in every sense of the world — like that?
