most of his working life at Calderstones, summed it up: “We get so much sa t is fa c t ion from the garden that we practically live for it at times.” The couple were mar-'

they ran the family store until 1939, when Douglas obtained a job in .the stores at Calderstones. He enjoyed it so much


that they went to live on the Calderstones estate and he worked there for many years, retiring as a male nurse. The couple have

CLITHEROE’S Castle Museum is to be opened to the public on Wednes­ day afternoons for a trial period in 1985. This was agreed at a


meeting of the Ribble Valley Council’s • Recrea­ tion and Leisure Commit­ tee, which heard that the cost of opening on an extra 19 half days would be £173. Coun. Ted Boden


(Chatburn) said: “We should c o n s id e r th e option, because tourists coming to the Ribble Valley are finding it most fru s tra t in g when the museum is closed.” It was also agreed to


open throughout October 1985 at an additional esti­ mated cost of £700, after Coun. Mrs Dorothy Pear­ son (Bowland Forest) pointed out that visitors to the area often take holidays then.

IT was celebration time at Billington and Langho WI when a party was held to mark the 25th birthday. The first president, Miss Jessica Lofthouse, and the first secretary, Mrs Joyce Darby,’ were there and past presidents who are no longer members were invited. Mrs H. Homer, speak­


ing on “Legends of the Rhineland,” explained


that these were not fairy­ tales but had a grain of truth in them. She had explored those relating to the city of Mainz, Heister- back-Kloster, Rolandseck and the Lorelei and mem­ bers were fascinated to hear the stories. Mrs Eileen Green, a


past president, expressed thanks. R e fre shmen ts were seved German-style, with


a glass of Rhine wine, and special guest Mrs Netta Brodrick, the county fed­ eration chairman, prop­ osed a toast to' the insti­ tute. There was a birthday


Kramrisch, who told members how she and Mrs Jean Price had enjoy­ ed d em on s tra t in g at Olympia, where they spoke to the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester and


cake made by president Mrs Meryl Ibbotson and expertly iced by Mrs M. Walker-Smith. A competition for a


silver jubilee card was won by Mrs Bonnie
