Just the job for Helen down at the Mart


MOST office clerks are surrounded by the clatter of typewriters, ringing telephones and the Sum of office equipment.


But Helen Jones is sur­


rounded by mooing cattle, bleating sheep, lowing


calves — and instead of a carpeted-floor, she is likely to be standing on sawdust-strewn boards with brusque Ribble Valley farmers.


For Helen has obtained


her first full-time job as o f f ic e c le rk fo r the Clitheroe Auction Mart. And it was her work there, on a Manpower S e rv ice s Commission Youth Training Scheme, which clinched the chance of a job for her.


The Mart’s company


secretary, Mr George Clarkson, said they took Helen to give her work experience and warned her that there was no guarantee of a job. “But she’s proved her worth and we offered her full­ time employment.


“ It’s not every girl who


could fit in with the job we do, or who doesn’t mind being told not to look too smart for work,” said Mr Clarkson.


H e len (1 6 ) , o f


Shepherd’s Field, Dow- nham, who usually wears


jeans and trainers at work, said: “Some of the time I’m in-the sale-ring office taking the payments as the livestock goes through the ring. Occa­ sionally it’s difficult for me to keep up with the auctioneer because he goes so fast, but I’m be­ coming used to it.


“ I’m used to pushing


through the sheep or cattle to reach the office. As I come from a farming community, I haven’ t found it too difficult to deal with farmers. I get on well with them, and I


don’t find it hard to fit »» Helen says that on auc­


tion days it can smell a bit ripe and some girls might have been put off by a job which means dealing with livestock. “But I think it’s really interesting. “ I didn’t know much


about the Youth Training Scheme’ before T ,joined, but now I think it’s a really good idea.” Trainees on YTS are given 12 months of high-


quality training off the job, while they are paid a £25-a-week allo­ wance.


Helen, who has six


CSE’s and a GCE 0 - level, spent four weeks at college receiving a basic grounding in typing and office practices before


joining the auction mart on a work placement. She continued at college


one day a week to take typing and office practice examinations. She added: “Although


£25-a-week doesn’t seem a lot, it’s sufficient because you are working and being trained. If you are at college full-time, you don’t get anything.” At work, she is handl­


ing thousands of pounds when the sales are on and she is responsible for the book-keeping and balanc­ ing afterwards. “ It’s a big responsibili­


ty, but I feel I can cope,” she added.

Claire samples Australian life


SLAIDBURN Young Farmer Claire Townson has returned from a month in Austria, but it was certainly no holiday. Claire (19), of Hillside


Drive, West Bradford, went on a scholarship awarded by the National Federation of Young Far­ mers’ Clubs, beating ap­ plicants from all over the country.


She travelled to'Vienna


with the only other scho­ larship winner, but then they went their separate ways to study aspects of Austrian life.


Claire chose to look at


Austrian cooking and pas­ times and she stayed with four different families.


She was kept busy most


of the time helping her hosts. The first family had a pig farm, the second a restaurant and a vineyard and the others lived on farms with vineyards.


During her stay she


also gave a slide show to an Austrian Young Far­ mers’ Club, describing the work o f the clubs in England.


To qualify for the scho­


second neighbour, a man of action, reached his de­ cision. “ I ’ ll ring the police,” he said.


Whalley Window


In a commendably short


time, two policemen ar­ rived. With admirable patience they listened to Auntie Kate’s explanation and, standing well back, carefully studied the parcel. They were men of action, too. Taking a pair of fireside tongs they placed the mystery pack­ age on the dustbin lid. “ Be t ter g e t inside, away from the windows,”


proached the next day and, by sheer good for­ tune, owned the article required. She loaned it gladly and in due course it found its way to the tele­ vision studios. Some w e ek s now


elapsed and then, one morning, the postman called on Great Auntie Kate and handed her a parcel. It was a very odd­ shaped package and the lady was more than a little puzzled. She wasn’t expecting any parcels, it was nowhere near her birthday, the address of the sender conveyed no­ thing to her. Great Auntie Kate was


worried. You hear of such strange things these days; parcel bombs and all kinds o f bizarre happenings. “Caution is the better part of valour,” she de­ cided and called in a male neighbour for advice. This valiant gentleman


was both helpful and courageous. He handled the( package gingerly; felt


they advised Auntie Kate and her friends and, very, very carefully, proceeded with the heart-stopping job of opening the parcel. A few minutes later


they re-entered the house and handed Auntie Kate the contents. The very dear, lady was overcome with gratitude, blushes and embarrassment. Rec­ ognising the object she apologised profusely. “Don’t worry, madam,”


said the senior officer. “You did the right thing. All’s well that ends well.” One morning in Sep­


tember, Great Auntie Kate will be switching on her television and watch­ ing a schools’ programme which normally would have little appeal for her. When she1 sees episode one of “How we used to live," if she watches very carefully, her big moment will arrive. In common with some


thousands of other vie­ wers she will share with all the world beautiful pic­ tures o f her once-dis- . carded old blacklead pol­ ishing brush.


J.F.


larship, Claire had to be able to speak German. But that was no problem — she is a first-year stu­ dent of German and Man­ agement Studies at Leeds University. Before going to university she attended Clitheroe Girls’ Grammar School.


Retirement after all for Leo


THE on-off retirement of Coun. Leo Wells, after a l i fe t im e with Ribble Motor Services, is defi­ nitely on. In between Coun. Wells


telling us that he had been asked to stay on and the appearance of the story last Thursday, he was informed that he could, in fact, go.


. Coun. Wells (64), of C h e s te r A v en u e , Clitheroe, was to have left under a government


job-release scheme, but this fell through at the last minute and he was asked to stay on. But last Wednesday —


too late for our paper — Ribble offered him early retirement, which had b e en made p o s s ib le through internal reorgan­ isation. Coun. Wells cleared his


desk for the last time, said goodbye to staff and went home to celebrate with his family. He started his career in


Clitheroe as a bus driver in 1947 and has been in charge of the Clitheroe depot since 1972. A former Clitheroe


mayor,, Coun. Wells in­ tends to devote much of his free time . to Ribble Valley and Clitheroe council work. “ I’m sad to leave the


company, but glad all the confusion has been sorted out and I can now look forward to retirement, he said.

Dolly needs some men!


JUST like Dolly, the heroine of its next produc­ tion, Clitheroe Parish Church Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society is on the lookout for men! For the society is short


of male voices for the musical “Hello Dolly,” re­ hearsals for which start in the parish hall on Tuesday evening, with enrolment the following Tuesday. Organisers are keeping


fingers crossed they will avoid the panic surround­ ing last year’s show “New Moon,” saved when sever­ al men agreed to take part. “Hello Dolly,” the story of a woman’s search for a


husband, will be staged in the parish hall from Feb­ ruary 9th to 15th under the expert guidance of producer Barbara Taylor and musical director John Bowness.


Language degree


‘A BA (Hons) degree in German has been gained at St David’s College, Lampeter, by Mr Richard Honeywell, o f Salthill Road, Clitheroe. Richard (22), a former


pupil of Pendle County P r im a ry S ch o o l and Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, is the son of Mr and Mrs Roy Honeywell. He spent the third year of his course studying in Germany. In October, Richard


will be going to Jesus Col­ lege, Oxford, to study the science of language.
