EMBARRASSING MEMORIES ;


THE entertaining article in last week’s Adver­ tiser and Times about zip fasteners must have brought embarrassing memories to many of us males.

More on rates?


IN the pamphlet issued by District Education Of­ ficer Mr David Staton, Government policy is quoted as- follows: Local Education Authorities are being pressed by the Gov­ ernment to take surplus school places out of use and reduce expenditure on the education service in response to falling pupil numbers. Government grants to

Extravagant scheme

to fall, as they state in their pamphlet, why don’t they make a sensible saving by giving up this extravagant scheme?-

Driver refused to take tests


A CLITHEROE man claimed in court that he refused to undergo drink-driving tests because he had been threatened by a policeman.


Barry Turner (35), of Shireburn Avenue, was fined £120 and disqualified from driving' for one year for failing to provide a specimen of blood or urine. He was also fined £30 for failing to give a specimen of breath and £50 for driving without due care and attention. He was ordered to pay £5 costs. Mrs Jackie Howard,
