vivors who took part in a daring Commando raid on the port 40 years ago. That famous expedition has, been vividly recalled over the weekend with a p a rad e th rou gh St Nazaire and a service on the R o y a l Y a ch t Britannia. Mr Parkes (63), of


Ribble Lane, a driver at Ribblesdale Cement, was making the return jour­ ney on Britannia after flying out on Friday. The weekend received


major television news coverage and Mr. Parkes’ family were thrilled, to catch a glimpse of him during the parade. Mr Parkes was a Com­


mando on one of the motor launches which, in try in g to land at St Nazaire, was blown out of


the water. With an injured knee,


he and his comrades even­ tually made it to the shore where they were taken prisoner by the Germans. Originally from the Isle


: of Man, Mr Parkes and his wife settled in Chat- burn in 1956. As well as being a member of the St Nazaire Society, he is on the committee of Chat- burn R o y a l B r it ish Legion. Hiking is one of his favourite pastimes.


No certificate


FOR using a car with no test Certificate in Whalley Road, Wilpshire, Mrs Joan 'Cartmell, of Long- sight Road, Langho, was fined £20 and ordered to pay £5 costs by Clitheroe magistrates. Mrs Cartmell admitted


the offence and said she overlooked the car’s MoT.


I AM THE ONE


I am the One that will save you When you are in need of a Saviour, When you are burdened and heavy


laden, 1 will be rest to your souls.


I am the One that will love you Withln;your darkest night,


I am the One that will console you And dry the tears from your eyes.


I am the One that will guide you As you go along in your way, I am the One that is before you, And I shall be there at the end.


I am the One called unchanging, The rock in the drifting sands, l am the One you have trusted And you are the one I call child.

THE introduction of permits for a small number of heavy lorries to again pass through the Bolton-by-Bowland zone has been approved by Lancashire County Council’s Highways and Transportation Committee.


The move was promp- ANTIQUES


A HUMOROUS talk on “Antiques” was given to members of St Paul’s Mothers’ Union by Mrs H. Kitson, of Brindle. She explained how' im­


portant it was to keep unusual items that are no longer manufactured, as their value increases from generation to generation. She displayed items in­


cluding a fork-polisher, guinea scales, moustache measurer and black-pud- ding maker, which caused


great amusement. Some members also brought


along items. Mrs Eileen Wood ex­


pressed thanks. Parking fine


FOR parking a car in the controlled area of a zebra crossing, John Andrew Gregson (38), o f . Hillside Drive, West Bradford, was


fined £20 with £5 costs at Glitheroe Magistrates’


Court. Mr Peter Roberts, pro­


secuting, said the car was parked in Castle. Street on a Sunday f iv e yards


.within the zig-zag mark- ’ ings of the crossing. Gregson told -the • court

that he had been working at a shop in Castle Street. He said that ' oncoming cars could see the cros­

ted by a request .from the Forestry Commission for a permit for one contrac­ tor who experienced prob­ lems with his vehicle while driving around the zone.


Since the zone was es­


tablished in December 1980, heavy lorries have beep able to enter the area for loading purposes


only. But permits will now be .


available for vehicles which have difficulties driving around the zone. The permits, to be dis­ played on windscreens will last for a ’ specified period of time and will also specify the route to be taken through the zone. .


-


The police, who will be consulted before the issue of any permit, have said they would prefer, a system which gives ex­ emption to a' lorry dis­ playing a valid permit rather than exemption'for access or loading. Members of the Ribble


Valley Council’s. Public Works and Health Com­ mittee, who were told that the. new. system “would not reduce the zone’s effectiveness” , have given their blessing to the scheme, despite letters of objection from Chatburn, Bolton-by-Bowland, Gis­ burn Forest and Sawley Parish Councils,- which fear the permit scheme will be “the thin end of the wedge”. __________

Action group’s proposals ‘not circulated — MP


CLITHEROE Division MP Mr David Wad- dington is writing to Lancashire County Council in protest at its treatment of the Save Our Schools action group’s proposal at last Wednesday’s public meeting at Ribbles­


dale School.

EWES MAKE LESS


THERE was a very good trade for spring lambs ana hoggs at Clitheroe Auction Mart on Monday. Fat cattle held a good trade but ewes made less


money. There were 48 bullocks and


heifers, 19 calf bulls, 39, fat cows, 97 ewes, 91 spring lambs and 208 hoggs forward. Light-steers made to 115.2p


per live kilo (average 103.8p), medium to 105.2p (101.5p),


light heifers to 106p (101.5p) and medium to 108p (100.2p). Uncertified steers made to 103.8p (98. Ip), heifers to 99.4p


(97.7p), calf bulls to 118p (110.2p), and fat cows to 90p


(80.6p). Light lambs made to 272.5p


(260.3p), standard to 266.5p (250.7p) and medium to 237.5p (221.3p). Half-bred ewes made to £36.20 per head (£27.80) and horned ewes to £29.50 (£19.70).


His' wife Gill was; at


the meeting' at which education officials failed to circulate the action group’s proposal along w ith the f iv e other, schemes "put forward so


far. - In anticipation of such


a move, action group members circulated their own proposal — to main­


tain the present educa­ t io n s ys tem in. the Cl ithe ro e area — to members of the public as they entered the hall. . Mrs Waddington men­


tioned the county coun­ cil’s • apparent oversight to her husband, who de­ cided to write to the edu­ cation department de­ ploring its action. “ I think it is impor­


tant if-you are to have a proper consultative pro­ cess ■ to make sure that


.all views are circulated properly,” said Mr Wad-


' dington. “ It is clear that a vast


majority of the people in the Ribble Valley don’t want any o f the county council’s proposals and th e c ou n ty c o u n c i l should realise this.” L a n ca sh ire ’ s C h ie f


Education Officer Mr Andrew Collier main­ tained at the Ribblesdale meeting that the action group proposal had not been d e l ib e r a t e ly ignored. . “ We g a v e a f irm


undertaking at the first public meeting to circu­ late those alternative schemes submitted by Mr W. A. Finch and


jointly by‘Mr David King and Mr Malcolm Black­ burn,” he said. “ I was not aware that


such an undertaking.was given as far as the sixth proposal was concerned. Besides, we have re­ ceived many’ submissions which could not all be circulated in time for the Ribblesdale meeting!”


Swore at police


C L IT H E R O E man. Michele Fernando Gareffa was fined £25 with £5 costs by the town’s magis­ trates for being drunk and


disorderly. Mr Peter Roberts, pro­


secuting, said that two policemen had seen Garef­ fa (21), of Whalley Road, leaning against a lamp- post in the street. He used abusive language, approached the police and carried on swearing. In court, Gareffa admit­


ted being drunk, but said he did not • use abusive language. ,


No L-plate


PROVISIONAL licence" holder Gary." Burgess was fined £15 with £5 costs at- Clitheroe Magistrates’ Court for riding a motor cycle without an L-plate on the r e a r o f the


machine. In a letter to the court,


Burgess (20), of Central Avenue, Clitheroe, said: he had not checked


whether the* L-plate was in position before he set off.- It could have fallen off while he was moving.


Permission for posters


THE Rotary Club of Rib­ blesdale has been given permission to display posters throughout1 the Ribble Valley, advertising a charity auction on . May 15th.. Members of the Ribble


Valley Council’s Develop­ ment • Sub-Comniittee agreed to contact all other local organisations urging them to go. through the correct channels before


erecting posters. This followed an obser­


vation by committee chairman Coun. Mrs Myra Clegg that posters adver­ tising the approaching Gisbum Races had been already positioned without pel-mission.


Unqualified


PROVISIONAL licence holder Karl Haslam (23), o f C en t ra l A v en u e , Clitheroe, was fined £25 with £5 costs by the town’s magistrates for driving a car without-the supervision of a qualified driver. Mr Peter Roberts, pro­


secuting, said Haslam had displayed L-plates on the car but had .no qualified driver with him.


Failed to stop


FOR failing to comply with a stop sign in King Lane, Clitheroe, farm worker James Mercer (21), o f Angerham House,


‘ Higher Hodder, was fined £20 aijd ordered to pay £5 costs by Clitheroe magis­


trates. , Mercer, who admitted


the summons, said there was no traffic about at the time and although he did not 'Stop, he drove "very slowly into Market Place.


£65 to pay


FOR using a car without an excise licence, William Dobson (33), of Seedall Avenue, .Clitheroe, was fined £25 with £5 costs at the town’s Magistrates’


I Court. . He was also ordered to


pay £35 back duty. In a letter to the court,


Dobson’s solicitor said his client had just bought the vehicle and the excise li­ cence had .already ex­ pired. He was not deliber­ ately flouting the law.
