Sheila tackles the odd jobs


WHEN Whalley woman Sheila Flanagan had to give up her full-time job she found the answer


to her problem in rhyme. Enterprising Sheila, of


Manor Road, penned a poem offering her services and put it in several shop windows. And after just two weeks she has built her odd-job business into a 25 hour week, with the promise of more to come.


Her job-winning verse reads:


She’ll work in your O shop,r behind your bar. She’ll, help in your home,


Or drive your car. She’ll babysit,


You name it. ‘Phone her you’ll see, She’ll come if she’s free. “I had been working

looked back.” Determined not to go


on the dole, she is offer­ ing to do anything within,


reason. “I will probably draw


the l ine at chimney sweeping or bricklaying,


but I will have a go at unusual jobs,” she added. Her working week at


the moment includes help­ ing in the local flower shop, serving behind a bar and helping a local mother and she is hoping to start knitting for some­ one soon.

Wales’ request, proceeds from the exhibition are to go to charities concerned with sick children.


Holiday extra


THE Vicar of Chatburn, Canon Cecil Butlin, turned teacher on a holi­ day in the Holy Land.


He and his w i f e , Muriel, made the trip to


Israel to visit their son, Timothy, a lecturer • on Scriptures from the Old and New Testaments.


Timothy, who works for the Israel Trust, fell ill with glandular fever, so for a few days Canon Butlin stepped in to teach pupils, helped by an in­ terpreter.


While they were-there, During their three-


week stay at Immanuel House Study Centre, Tel Aviv, the vicar and his wife also found time to look round the city.

as action-packed as the holiday. The couple ar- rived back a day later than expected, due to a strike by workers at the Ben Gurion International Airport.


The trip home was just


to see their son again next year, but this time he will be visiting them.

THERE is nothing quite like music for evoking memories. The “pop” song of generations gone brings back sweet recollections of early girl'friends, or it could be a hymn tune, rarely heal’d today, that was sung every week in the Sunday School prim­ ary as the collection was taken; “Dripping, drop­ ping, dripping, dropping, hear the pennies fall.” Some of you are sure to remember it.


“Eternal Father, strong to save,” invariably takes me back to the chapel in the seaside resort where I spent my earliest holidays in World War I.
