commended that, in stead, the children should drink long life UHT milk, but they do not like its very diffe rent flavour.
So now the experts
are considering adding fruit flavourings.
As far as Mr Jack
Lord, assistant educa tion officer for the
Ribble Valley knows, it is the only school in Lancashire where these flavourings are . being considered. The children used to
drink “green top” milk from a farm in the vil lage until the provision of milk to schools was
, stopped several years ago. It was re-intro duced into Lancashire by the Labour-control- led county council when it took power in 1981. However, medical ex perts then decided that
“ g re en , to p ” milk should not be con sumed by schoolchil dren. But this is the only
sort of milk available at Tosside, and the edu cation authority cannot find a local contractor to' take treated milk to the village. Mr Lord said: “The
village children are used to the flavour of farm m i lk . As we cannot obtain other treated milk in the vil lage, the only alterna tive was a delivery of UHT milk every few months. The children will not drink this, al though presumably it has some nutritional value. “The suggestion to
mask the taste by adding frifit flavourings came from one of our
D-DAY FOR READ AND SIMON STONE
Boundaries bombshell County
IN a surprise last-minute move, Lancashire County Council is decided to back Burnley in its fight with the Ribb' Valley for control of the villages of Reaa and Simonstone.
According to Burnley
Council leader Peter Pike, the decision was only made on Monday. No-one at County Hall
was available for Press comment apart from the information that their rep resentative at today’s in formal Boundaries’ Com-
mission hearing at Read would be supporting Burnley.
The R ib b le Valley
Council’s Chief Executive and Town Clerk Mr
Michael Jackson was una ware of the county’s sup port until Tuesday, when informed by a Clitheroe Advertiser and Times re porter.

anything official from the County. Indeed its policy has always been one of ‘no comment,’ he said.
“ But I do think it
should have had the cour tesy ,to tell us and not let us find out like this.”
In evening A t ' today’ s informal
. hearing at Read United Reformed Church School, Mr R. E. Millward, an assistant boundaries com missioner, . will be listen ing to the views of all interested parties on whether Read, at present in the Ribble Valley, and Simonstone (part of Burn ley) should be adminis tered by just one of these authorities.
The hearing starts at 10
a.m. and another session, beginning at 7 p.m., has been arranged for those unable to attend during the day.
Against its wishes,
Simonstone has been part of Burnley since local gov ernment reorganisation in 1974.
It originally wanted to
join the Ribble Valley, along with - Read and Sabden, and four years ago reaffirmed that wish.
Objected The Commission subse
quently agreed to the Simonstone request, with two provisos.
Firstly, that part of
Northtown parish should also be included in the Ribble Valley. Secondly, that part of
Simonstone which in cludes the Mullard fac tory should be excluded. But the Ribble Valley
jected. , This led to the sugges
tion that, in fact, both villages should go under the wing of one authority. Now - the Boundaries’
Commission has to decide and today’s hearing is part of that process. . It is expected that the

have found other pre mises, Clitheroe Toe H, which " gave them the building, but continued to meet there, is now seek ing a home.
The branch, which now
has only seven members whose ages range from 70 to 82,. has used the build ing since being formed in 1937.. Since 1980, it has rented a room at the former cottages for a nominal sum.
The branch is having to
meet fortnightly, at mem bers’ homes and is cur rently “ standing still” , said secretary/treasurer Mr Frank Moms (76), of King Street, Clitheroe.
“But I am adamant that
we should carry on . . . it is part of my existence. I do not want it to fold,” said Mr Morris, who has been a Toe H member, for 25 years.
The branch’s activities
have ranged from visiting the sic to running a chil dren’s play scheme. „
The Toe H group wants
a permanent headquarters so it can inject new life
into the branch with more members and community projects. Toe H bought the two
cottages in Duck Street from a £100 bequest. The cost of wiping out
the dry rot', which affects the back walls of the buildings, would run into thousands of pounds.. According to District
Scout Commissioner Dr Gordon Ham'pson,, the trustees acting for the Scout Council could not
justify such an outlay when other accommoda tion was available. But the cost was not “ exorbitant” for a com-.
' mercial enterprise. Money from the sale would be invested to the benefit of Scouting. The trustees wanted the building to go to someone prepared to restore it. Scouts and Cubs have
used the building for dis t r i c t e v en t s , badge courses and training, and it has been the venue for Scout council meetings. District events are now being held at the Catholic
.Scout and Guide head quarters, Lowergate, and the Venture Scout head quarters in Back York Street. ■ •

Paddington goes to
the show WHEN the infants of Waddington and West Bradford CE School went to watch Paddington Bear's very own musical at the Grand Theatre at Blackpool, they took then- lovable bear with them. Some 35 infants, seven
adults and Paddington, l-esplendent in a new hat and coat especially for the occasion, went to the musical. They took a jar of mar
malade for the' show’s Paddington and also some cards,, which were read out at the end of the show. The trip was organised
by the school’s deputy head, Mrs Edna Brown. Youngsters were en
thralled as the story of Paddington unfolded, and it was so realistic that one or two tears were shed during sad parts. However, the bear from
darkest Peru soon had everyone happy again. On the way home the
youngsters tucked into a picnic tea, and Mrs Brown thanked everyone who had helped.

that around £350 will go to the charities and there have already been a number of proposals. He ex p la in ed -the
motive behind the ges ture: “ The people in Whalley have been very, good to us, and this is our way of saying thanks.” Mr and Mrs Leeming
live in Blackburn)' but after working a seven-day week in Whalley for so long, the majority of their friends are in the village. They are sorry to be leaving, for they have en
joyed their stay, but as Mark and Julie Richard son, of Darwen, were keen to take over the business, Mr and Mrs Leeming de cided the time had come for a change. “ It’s been absolutely
superb here,” said Mr Leeming. “ I think the at mosphere that exists in Whalley is really great.” . As a further thank you
to their customers, Mr and Mrs Leeming have asked them to- try and drop into the store on Friday and. Saturday, their last day, when they will be opening a few bot tles of bubbly. There will also be a special gift to one lucky customer. Mr Leeming believes in
the need for the small family grocer in a com munity. “ It becomes much more than just a business relationship with the cus tomers,” he said. Now he and his wife
intend to enjoy a well- deserved break before looking for a new busi ness.
