Scheme brings benefit to young and old alike


SIX pupils from St Au­ gustine’s School, Billing- ton, are using part of their fifth and final year to pay a weekly call on the residents of Crow- trees Gardens sheltered accommodation scheme.


Under a social work

Suttie, of Whalley. They went to Chatburn


recently, accompanied by t e a ch e r Mrs Marie Fowler, to informally meet their charges and warden Mrs Verena Mlynek-Barnes. Also there was Mr Jim


Billington and Mrs Fowler explained that it had been decided to extend it to Chatburn, with pupils who live locally taking part. “It helps the youngsters

has received is part of a “Project Respond” scheme run by the National West­ minster Bank. As well as visiting the

the school play their part by providing specialist uipment for the hospital


schools. Mrs Mlynek-Barnes, as


a social worker, has seen pensioners in Whalley and Billington benefit from the pupils' visits. “The idea worked well


there and I don’t see why it should not work in Chatburn. “The youngsters pro­


vide company, while the pensioners in turn pass on their experience,” she said. Pictured at their first


meeting are the pupils and residents with Mrs Mlynek-Barnes (back; third from left) and Mr , Martin (far right).

ONE of Clitheroe town c o u n c i l ’ s missing trophies has been re­ turned, thanks to some detective work by Coun. Tom Robinson.


For 10 or so' years it has been a prized trophy at the Luther Green­ wood Memorial'Music Festival at Colne.


The trophy — now valued at £600 — was g iv en to the old ■ Clitheroe Borough . Council by Mr Peter Hulland and friends iri memory of local singer Ernest Allen.


Apparently it was made available to the Colne • festival because of the close links between Mr Allen and Luther . Greenwood and has been awarded to the best competitor from three major classes.


But thanks to Coun. Robinson the whereab­ outs of the trophy was tracked down and the


' Colne festival commit­ tee has happily re­ turned it. Now the silver trophy will be kept at the bank while the council considers what to award it for.


Breath of new air


A RIMINGTON man will be “returning home” when he takes up an appoint­ ment as the first manager of BBC Radio Cornwall, which is due to open in Truro towards the end of the year. For Mr Michael Hoskin,


of Copley House, Martin' Top, is the son of a long- established Cornish family and, although .himself


. bom in Birmingham, he spent the first eight or nine years of his life in the county while his father was in the RAF. Mr Hoskin (40), who is


married with four chil­ dren, has been program­ me organiser at BBC Radio Lancashire. He began his journalis­


tic career as a newspaper reporter in Nottingham and in 1969 was appointed .one of the first news.pro- . ducers on BBC Radio ' Nottingham.


, In 1970 he became the


first news editor , of BBC Radio Blackburn and was appointed programme or­ ganiser shortly be'fore the station was renamed BBC


L Radio Lancashire last year.


The fame of Ben Parker


MY recent article on our former Whalley aersonality “Owd Ben Parker, King of the Trombone” has stirred the memories of a number of old Mends. I said that stories of


this astute old gentleman were legion and so it has proved to be. A one-time resident in

He nodded off to sleep and that wise (and. possibly understanding) old pony set sedately off and, in due course, delivered his master safely on his own doorstep.

Old Ben I may have told you previously. In a little outbuilding at the rear of his Broad Lane cottage, Ben opened a little shop and retailed sweets and minerals and the like to passers-by intent on riverside walk! Country walks were


much more popular then than they appear to.be today, particularly at the weekend, and so Ben opened his shop on Sunday afternoons; the first local trader so to do and an action that greatly vexed the then incumbent of St Mary’s and All Saints. . He determined to re­
