Widow of former


councillor


THE widow of a Clitheroe Borough Councillor of the 1960s, has died in hospital aged 74.


Mrs Greta Parker, who


lived in Queen’s Street, Low Moor, often helped her husband John with his work for the local Labour party. He died in 1975. She le a v e s a son


Barrie. A service was held at


St Paul’s Church, Low Moor, on Tuesday, prior to c rem a t ion Pleasington.


Injures leg


A S L A ID B U R N man was taken to Blackburn


Royal Infirmary on Satur­ day after his motor cycle was in collision with a car in Main Street, Newton. E dw a rd C ro s s , o f


Church Street, Slaidburn, was treated for a leg injury^The car was being driven by Glen Pilkington (18), of Waddington Road, C l i th e r o e , who was unhurt.


Sports hall idea shelved


RIBBLE Valley councillors have dropped the idea of building a sports hall.


But members of the Re-


creation and Leisure Committee have asked for further investigations into the possibility of the dual use of facilities in the Ribble Valley. The committee agreed


CLITHEROE FC’s first testimonial function for long-serving player Tony


Eyies proved a successful one. A coffee morning held


in the clubhouse on Sunday raised £70 and it is planned to hold a number o f functions


throughout the season, culminating in a football match next June. The first event was well


attended and a raffle and tombola were popular. Pictured pouring Tony


a welcome coffee is his wife Margaret, while club officials and players look on.


Camping club to run Edisford


THE Camping and Caravan Club is to take over the running of the Ribble Valley Council’s Edisford site on a three-year lease. Members of the


-------- — — coun


cil’s Recreation and Lei­ sure Committee were told that since the warden left last year there had been problems over the site. According to Deputy


Planning and Technical Officer Mr Peter Nock, the main one from a man­ agement point of view concerned the appoint ment of a warden capable of running the site. The club would provide


a warden service and be responsible for all the day-to-day running and


management of the site during the season. The club would appoint an ex perienced warden and ad­ vertise and promote the site.


Under the new arrange­


ment there was the possi­ b i l i ty o f the council making a slight profit, whereas, for the past year, a deficit was ex­ pected.


The committee is to


look at a number of ways of improving the site. These include an inves­


tigation into the drainage and regular maintenance requirements; improve­ ments to the toilet-block facilities; relocation of the rubbish compound, fenc­ ing off of the camp site from the rest of the recre­ ation area, and the fixing of grilles over the windows of the site hut. Security aspects are to


be appraised and discus sions held with the club over charges. The club will not be re­


sponsible for running the cafe and pitch and putt course. The future of these will be discussed at another meeting of the committee.


MORRIS MEN KEPT BUSY


IT was a busy weekend for Clitheroe Morris Men, who gave a number of performances in the town, along with a guest team from Earlsdon, Coventry. The two teams left the


New Inn on Saturday af­ ternoon and performed on the market, at the Station Hotel and the Waggon and Horses. Then they entertained


the Mayor and Mayoress of the Ribble Valley, Coun. and Mrs Ted Boden, with a perform­ ance in the Swan and Royal Courtyard, before returning to the New Inn for lunch.


Millworker for 68 years


A CHATBURN woman with a long record of ser­ vice in the cotton industry has died in Clitheroe Hos­ pital, aged 88. Mrs Effie Nutter, of


Park Avenue, worked in mills for a total of 68 years — 62 of them at Chatburn. She started as reacher- in at Colne in 1907 and


began full-time working when she was 13. When her family moved to Chatburn she took a


job as a weaver, working in the village almost con­ tinuously until her retire­ ment in July, 1974. She was a lifelong


member o f Chatburn Methodist Church and a founder member of the Methodist Sunshine Band which takes flowers to the sick and elderly of the village. A widow, Mrs Nutter


leaves a daughter, Hilda. A service at Chatburn


Methodist Church on Monday will precede in­ terment in Christ Church burial ground.


Threatening words bring £100 fine


FOR using threatening words and behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace, David De- whurst, of the Crescent, Clitheroe, was fined £100 at Clitheroe. Mr Philip Howard, pro


secuting, said that ; policeman had seen De whurst kicking at two women in Castle Street, Clitheroe, and striking them with his fists. When told to go home


he gave obscene replies and made a further at­ tem p t to shake the women. Dewhurst told the court


that he was not striking the women — he was tel­ ling his wife to go home, as she had left the chil­ dren there. He was ordered to pay


£6 costs.


Turned down


PRO PO S A LS to stop motorists using Back York Street and Albion Street, Clitheroe, except for access, have been given the “thumbs down” by the County Surveyor’s Department, following consultations with the


'police. Ribble Valley council­


lors wanted the traffic flow restricted because of the narrowness of the road. But the county consid­


ers it would be impossible to enforce “access only”. The borough council is to review the matter in a year.


Caroline is the Legion's choice


NEW holder of the title “Miss Waddington Royal British Legion” is Miss Caroline Ellison. She was nominated at a


branch social evening in Waddington Club on Saturday and replaces former title-holder Mrs Jean Wilkinson, who lives almost next-door to her in


the v i l la g e ’s Waddow View. Her first major role will


be to rep re s en t the branch for the Lancashire beauty title contest' in February. During the evening, en­


tertainment was provided by the recently re-formed Slaidburn Silver Band.


A raffle in aid of the


branch’s Poppy Appeal raised a total of £230. Votes of thanks were


given by Mr Stanley Taylor, branch president, Mr Robert Hayton, chair­ man, and Mrs Barbara Pearson. Mr Taylor had an extra


word of praise for club steward and stewardess Mr and Mrs Michael Taylor, who gave a help­ ing hand at club functions during the year.


Pendle Club


WINNERS of the month­ ly bridge session at the Clitheroe Pendle Club were: Mrs D. Underwood and Mrs D. Hindle, Mrs A. Pedder and Mrs Mur- gatroyd, Mrs P. Adey and Mr T. Adey. Raffle: Mrs J. Bowker,


Mrs A. Foster, Mrs F. Seed, Mrs M. Thorne, Mrs J. Kenyon, Mrs J. Fogget, Mrs A. Pedder,


Mrs P. Adey, Mr T. Adey. At the weekly session,


winners were Mrs E. Bush and Mr J. Harrison, Mrs M. Manning and Mr T. Adey.


Abbey talk


“WHALLEY Abbey” was the title of a talk and slide


show given by Mr D. Hartley to 45 members of


Clitheroe Young Farmers'


Club. He was thanked by Adam Spurgeon and John Bowen. Recent debate results,


when two teams competed against teams from Roch­ dale and Kirkham were — Clitheroe A 163 points, Rochdale 164; Clitheroe B 176,. Kirkham 168.

Taste of bubbly


“CHAMPAGNE” was the subject of Mr Miles Lead- beater’s talk to Clitheroe and District Probus Club. He described the three


main processes by which it is made and said that for part of the time it is stored in natural under­ ground caverns in Cham­ pagne. Members were given


proof of the quality of the end product and Mr Leadbeater was thanked by Mr Fred Ashworth. At the next meeting,


member Mr Ken Rycroft will give an illustrated talk on historic Greece.


to a proposal by Coun. Jack Carr (Billington) that no action be taken on building a hall at the pre­ sent time. Coun. Carr had written


to each member of the committee claiming that there was no justification for a sports hall at the moment. At the meeting he told


councillors that he was not against the sports hall at all, provided that the


people who used it paid for it. ■ “ Building a hall in


Clitheroe would be of no use to the people I repre sent,” he said. “The proper way to go about it is to use empty


gymnasiums in schools,” he said. “How can we be ex­


pected to spend £580,000 on building one when these facilities are lying empty.”


Coun. F red Green


(Wilpshire) said the idea was far too ambitious in the present climate. When the chairman


Coun. John Walmsley (Mellor) observed that he had received a petition from 400 people saying they had no facilities for playing badminton, Coun. Carr replied that there was ■ no reason why the council could not hire Rib­ blesdale and St Augus­


tine’s Schools’ halls for them.


Tracking licence dodgers


T E L E V IS IO N licence dodgers could soon be in trouble as detector vans visit the Blackburn area next week. New vans will be used,


with equipment 10 times more s en s it iv e than before and incorporating the latest technical adv­ ancement in tracking down licence evaders. A panoramic receiver


picks up radiations from television sets and dis­ plays them on a screen. A special pattern of signals can be matched with a set of grid lines to find the location of the set. The maximum penalty


for licence evasion is a £200 fine, while the cost of a licence is £46 for colour or £15 for black and white.


Survey team in Whalley


THE oil and gas survey team which has been in East Lancashire since the summer turned its atten­ tion to Whalley this week. Villagers received pam­


phlets explaining the work being earned out. Three trucks with vib­


rator pads were operating in Mitton Road, on Tues­ day, transmitting seismic waves below the road sur­ face. A fourth truck was picking up and recording signals. The survey is being canned out for the Amoco (UK) Exploration Company. I t was ex­ pected that work in Whal­ ley would be completed by the weekend.


Did not stop


FOR failing to comply with a stop sign, car driver, Barry Allen (37), o f Balmoral Avenue, Clitheroe, was fined £30 at the town’s Magistrates’ Court. The court was told that he failed to stop at the Shawbridge Street


junction with Waterloo Road. He was also fined £25 for not having a test cer­


tificate and ordered to pay £6 costs. In a letter to the court


the defendant said he had misplaced his original test certificate.


Circular walk


A PARTY of 36 Clitheroe Naturalists completed a circular walk of almost seven miles following r iv e r s id e paths on Saturday. Beginning from Kirk-


moor Road, field paths were followed towards the w e ir and Brungerley Bridge towards Cross Hills. They wondered how


much longer it would be before Cross Hills is de­ veloped as a nature re­ serve and bird sanctuary — a subject which has caused controversy bet­ ween the council and vari­ ous local organisations for


quite some time! From West Bradford


Bridge, the riverside path was taken once again to­ wards Chatburn and Grindleton, where the river was followed from the opposite side towards West Bradford and back to Brungerley. Low cloud prevented


views of the surrounding hills and many trees were


rapidly shedding their foliage, reminding the


party that winter is not far away.


Mr Richard Blades


thanked joint leaders Mrs C. Pickles and Mrs Hi Berry.

Agreement on secure unit


FOLLOWING a meeting between staff organisa­ tions and management, ag­ reement has been reached to open the interim secure unit at Brockhall Hospital a week tomorrow. Discussion centred on


the rationalisation of the operational policy with ag­ reement being reached that, within the establish ment of 53 beds, there would be on each of the four wards 10 residential b eds, one bed fo r emergency admissions and a number of. additional beds for special care and treatment.


Management accepted


that there were a number of points requiring further clarification and agreed to continue discussions with the staff organisations after the unit has become operational.


Hitting the heights


WALKING, climbing and camping in Scotland, Wales, Yorkshire and the Lake District are included in next year’s programme fo r C l ith e ro e Moun­ taineering Club. It was agreed at the


AGM to increase th number of one day out­ ings and continue the mountain hut and camping weekends. Elected to the commit­


tee were; Don Sterling (chairman), Mike Haslam (s e c r e t a r y ) , Simon Nanson (treasurer), John Barrett (Press and meets co-ordinator), Godfrey Metcalfe (club bulletin editor), Judith Metcalfe (hut booking secretary). The club meets every


third Wednesday of the month at the New Inn, Parson Lane, and new members are always wel­ come. Anyone interested should contact the secret­ ary (Clitheroe 25292). Five members were out


on the Yorkshire moors on Sunday, exploring the limestone Swinner Gorge near Keld which led them to the summit of Rogan’s Seat, and Water Crag. The return to Keld fol­ lowed another spectacular ravine at East Gill.
