doctor, of Bank Hall Cot­ tages, Sawley, could write a book about his experi­ ences during his stay in Canada. For while working at


Goose Bay’s Melville Hos­ pital, patients were not the only customers that he dealt with. Black bears also needed


his attention, especially when one took a' liking to wandering around the village. Dr Hawkes, who hails


from Brighton, volun­ teered for a night-time stalk, on which he tracked


round & about


down the stray bear and shot it with tranquiliser darts, before making ar­ rangements for its safe return to its forest home. There were endless


kinds of activities to pursue. He learned to skate, took part'in snow­ mobile racing competi­ tions and also hunted caribou.


a three-man catch of more than 5001bs of Arctic char, a delicacy which tastes


and looks rather like salmon. Of that episode Dr


Hawkes said: “We caught them as they made their way up river to spawn. The fish filled our freezer and lasted us for a year.” The climate played


some part in his decision to bring his family home. He and -his wife, Mary,


have two ch i ld ren , Jonathan (2) and Emma (10 months), whom he de­ livered himself. In winter the tempera­


ture dropped to minus 30 degrees, but in summer soared into the 90s. Said Dr Hawkes: “ I


want my children , to have a normal upbringing. In Canada there were times when they could not go- out because it was either too cold or too hot, and there were so many flies and mosquitoes about that life became unbearable.” “ Also, my children


would not have had the opportunities open to those in England. They would not have been able


'to visit theatres, art gal­ leries and the like, simply because there aren’t any.” -Looking back, the ad­


venturous GP feels it was an experience he would


not have missed, but says that he knew he would one day-have to return .to his homeland to set up a

me^ .too, they give im­ mense pleasure each Sunday mom and particu­ larly so when they ring forth in celebration of some great national occa­ sion.


I must confess that to Here, in our own vil­


lage, the bells of St Mary and All Saints’ have' pealed over meadow and Calder for over 700 years. The first of them, accord­ ing to my records, came in 1215, the g ift o f Thomas T a lb o t o f Dinkley. . This was probably before the present church was built. Taylor-Taswell gives “ somewhere bet­ ween 1235 and 1294” as the possible date, but I have seen it elsewhere as early as 1212. A further bell' was


given prior to 1305 by William Ratley, of'Wim- berley, in Yorkshire, in memory of. his wife, and, Richard Fitton, of Marth- olme in Harwood, pre­ sented another around the


same year. Certain it is that there


were four bells previous to 1741 when it was in­


tended to increase the peal to six by public sub­ scription. The existing four, it


was said at the time, were in a sorry state. It was claimed, that they


.were untune’able, were too large and. unwieldy, one was burst and quite useless and the remaining' three “could not be rung as there was manifest


.'danger of them breaking down” . In 1741 the four bells


were melted down and re- cast, by Edward Seller; bell-founder of York, who undertook to make from them six good tuneable bells and with an agree­ ment as to the allowance made for any ‘surplus metal or the purchase of additional : metal if- such were required. In d ep en d en t ad­


judicators were named to pronounce on the quality of the completed peal. One hundred and four­


teen years rolled away .when, once more, tragedy struck. There was. a fire in the. tower of the church ancf’once again the bells

had to be recast. This time the work was under­ taken by Mears o f Whitechapel, London; a firm of very considerable repute which is still in existence. The work completed, in


1924 it was agreed to in­ crease the peal to eight bells and a treble and a tenor were added. One was to be a memorial — a fitting memorial — to the men of the parish, who died in the T4-18 war arid the second was given by the late Dinah Ann Green in memory of her father, Solomon Longworth, and her husband, the late Roger Green. Now, each Sabbath,


those same eight bells, ring out; a harmonious, joyous sound that main­ tains a tradition linking centuries of Christian worship in the village.


ever, they are the cause of a little gentle imitation — not to me personally, but to persons living in much greater proximity. These are occasions when visiting teams of cam­ panologists come to the church for the pleasure of ringing the famous peal over a period of several hours. Then my phone starts


to ring. “My husband’s on night duty,” cries a dis­ traught wife. “Can’t you do something about those bells? He’s not getting a wink of sleep!” This is something 1


cannot do. Local councils — hooray! — have no jurisdiction in these mat­ ters and I have to “pass the buck” . In such instances,


which occur in other parishes too, the incum­ bents of the churches are the only people empo­ wered to act. And be­ cause. these .occasions are so few and far between, perhaps it is just as well. We’ve got to “live and let live”.

Exiles’ new life


NEWS of two former Ciitheroe couples who are leading new lives across the Atlantic came this week from Ciitheroe Chamber of Trade presi­ dent Mr Roy Dewhurst, at his organisation’ s annual dinner-dance. Mr Dewhurst and his


wife, Betty, were recently in North America where they visited former local t ra d e r s A lb e r t and Doreen Bateman and Geoff and Pat Cross. The Batemans now run


a sweet shop — or candy store! — in a very attrac­ tive suburb of Victoria, British Columbia, .Canada. • The Cross family live in


the high desert, 40 miles north of Los Angeles, where Geoff has a petrol station — open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. Geoff who, had he not


emigrated, would have been current president of the Chamber, found time to take the Dewhursts on a tour of Disneyland. “Geoff has not lost any


of his energy or en­ thusiasm ’ and ' made it


his business that we co­ vered every square yard and rode on everything that moved,” said Mr De­


whurst. TELEPHONES:
