Driver had no licence


WHEN a policeman stop ped a Grindleton motorist for a routine check he dis­ covered that the driver did not hold a licence.


For this offence, Keel


Darrel Simpson (18) of Meadowside, was fined


£60 at Clitheroe. He was also fined £90


for having no insurance and £25 for having no car test certificate. He was ordered to. pay £5 costs.


Car man had no insurance


AFTER a policeman ex­ amined a parked car he spoke to the owner and found that he had no in­


surance. For this offence Hugh


Whipp (38), of Curzon Street, Clitheroe, was fined £70 and ordered to pay £5 costs by the town’s magistrates. In court, Whipp told

Accident at York Street


A motor cyclist was in collision with a motorist on York Street, Clitheroe,


on Thursday last. The r id e r , Michael


David Roberts (25), of C onw a y A v en u e , Clitheroe, sustained slight bruising to hands and arms but was not taken to


hospital. The car driver, Mar­

site inspection: “ I am ap­ palled by the vandalism that has taken place. It is ruining anyone’s chance to have a good game of


bowls.” Considerable damage


and expense to the council __ had been caused, said


Mr Bailey. A Clitheroe bowls en


thusiast has made a plea to the youths’ better nature, asking: “please keep off the green unless you are playing bowls.” A 68-year-old woman


who asked to remain anonymous, said the youths congregated regu larly on the green al nights after bowling


finished. The green affected


the bottom one in the Castle grounds. “ I don’t think it is


malice so much as lack of thought,” said the woman. Mr Bailey said he hoped


parents of children con­ cerned would impress on them how their actions deprived people of enjoy­ ment.


Mayor praises town’s generosity


THE generosity of people in the Clitheroe area was praised by Ribble Valley Mayor Coun. Mrs Myra Clegg when she handed over a cheque for £5,579 to Christie Hospital, Manchester — the


A new style of maths teaching


A NEW “real world ap­ proach” is soon to be ap­ plied to maths teaching m Ribble Valley secondary


schools. In a move to make the


subject more interesting arid relevant to pupils, new text books have been produced, entitled “Solv­ ing real problems with mathematics.”


The books are produced


by the Spode group, a unique association of maths teachers drawn from schools, colleges and universities. Clitheroe Girls Gram­


mar School teacher, Mr R. Francis, is a member


of the group. He explains that the


books will, hopefully, be used as a supplement to the basic maths course. Three volumes have now been published, and


the real life problems con­ tained include the impact o f the new F ootb al l League points system: proportional representa­ tion in elections; buying a second-hand car; and the .differences between rent­ ing or buying a television. Mr Francis says: “We


are using more of a real world approach rather than purely theoretical, with more applications to real life problems.” Mr Francis himself is


also looking at new ways of brightening up maths for the pupil. He is very interested in the use of micro-computers in educa­ tion and has written some ‘computer software’ for


use in schools. “ I think micro-compu­


ters’ can.be used to exp­ lain things in maths that would be otherwise dif­ ficult to show,” he says.


proceeds of her year’s


charity appeal. H an d in g o v e r the


cheque to Dr Terry Allen, head of the electron mic­ roscopy department of the Paterson Laboratories at the hospital, Coun. Mrs Clegg said there was still more to come.


She explained that the


r.uney had been raised by various events during her year of office, including


.the Clitheroe Football Club, a Triathlon and 10- mile road race. The Women’s Institutes had donated £1,100 and a simi­ lar amount had been given by Mrs Margaret Simpson and her daugh­ ter, Janet, of Gibbon Bridge Restaurant, Chip­ ping, raised at a hot pot supper.


Said Coun. Mrs Clegg:


“We are a very generous society in this area; an a b so lu te ly ' staggering amount of rnoney has been raised.” She also


presented Dr Allen with a souvenir map o f the


Ribble Valley. Dr Allen also received a


cheque for £3,000 from Mrs Isabelle Dawson, chairman of the Clitheroe Committee of the Christie Hospital and Holt Radium Institute Women’s Trust Fund, of which Coun. Mrs Clegg is treasurer. Dr Allen thanked the


Mayor and her guests at the presentation, includ­ ing members o f the Clitheroe Committee, for the donations. He said the money was


all the more useful as it could be used immediately i f some new piece of equipment was urgently needed. Money from the Cancer Research Cam­ paign took time to be transferred to the hos­


pital. Dr Allen is pictured


with the cheques with (left) Mrs Dawson and (right) Mi’s Clegg watched by committee members.


Caused a pile-up


A READ motorist who pulled out slightly from a line of parked cars in order to see if he could | move away, caused- a three-car crash. .


For driving without due I


ca re and a t ten t ion , I Stewart Black (17), of Whalley Road, was fined £40 with £5 costs by | Clitheroe magistrates.


Mr Stephen Barker, de­


fending, told the Bench that his client was a learner at the time of the accident and that his driv­


ing was below the satis­ factory level of compe- tence on the day of the | accident.


Youth Club’s helping hand


TRINITY’S Junior Youth Club are hoping to take part in a Third World action project, helping to sponsor a child or group in one of the under-de­ veloped countries.


The agency behind the


project, Action Aid, is also on the lookout for other schools or youth groups in the Clitheroe area who would be in­ terested in a similar


project. Assistant youth leader


at Trinity, Mr Steve Burke, has asked the reg­ ional organiser for the North-West, Audrey Hill, to visit Trinity and exp-1 lain the project in detail.


But before fixing a


date, she would like to arrange for visits to other groups to be included.


In the projects, groups I


sponsor children, families or even schools in the I Third World:

and district Trefoil Guild were entertained by a I talk entitled “Mysterious Antiques” at their month­ ly meeting. The speaker, Mrs Joanna Lees, of Wis- well, brought along some of the more unusual ob­ jects she had collected.


WITCHING WEATHER


THE staff and pupils of Clitheroe’s Pendle County Primary School had an unexpected but very


pleasant surprise the other day when they spot­ ted a witch flying above


the school! The witch in question


was a weather vane, de­ signed, made and fixed in place above the building by Mr Richard Dugdale, parent of two children who attend the school.


He made the unor­

SOME splendid walking weather gave a good start to the season for members of the Clitheroe branch of the Ramblers Association. Twenty people met at


West Bradford, led by Mr F ran k P a r r o t t , and walked along the river to Grindleton. Then it was up Green Lane, to Lock cocks and Bucks, across the stream and back to West Bradford. Thirty people met at


Springwood and walked up Clerk Hill through Deer Park Wood to Sheep Cote Farm, before head­


ing up the quarry road to the Wiswell wireless sta­ tion. From there, they re- turned via Wiswell Moor Farm, Lower Clerk Hill and th rou gh Sp ring

hawthorn, gold of celan­ dine and marsh marigolds, and the haze of bluebells made a - .rea l sp r in g

on Wednesday, when the


leader will be Ellen Parker. Members should meet at Langho railway station at 7 p.m.
