Pupils aim for. novel record


RIBBLESDALE pupils will shortly be cramming more than 1,000 match­ boxes full of tiny objects to raise cash for their school’s funds. Each of the school’s


1,060 pupils will be given a Bryant and May match­ box on Monday and told to fill it with as many “useful items” as possible to raise money through sponsorship. At the week’s end, the


boxes will be emptied and the items counted. There is a prize for ’the pupil who collects the most and one for the most success­ ful fund-raiser. The school has been


told that there is no entry in the Guinness Book of Records for filling match­ boxes, so it hopes its ef­ forts will give cause' to remedy this.


Car destroyed


A CAR stolen from Kirk- moor Road, Clitheroe, was later found ablaze in a street in Oswaldtwistle. The vehicle, a Y-regis- tered Vauxhall Astra, was completely destroyed. It was valued at £6,300.
