Contravention of this can result in a maximum fine of £400 on conviction.


The areas covered by this prohibition are: Blackburn and Darwen including


surroundina areas within Blackburn District Council area (excluding Belmont, Turton

RW HANTAM COMPACT ►


A FASCINATING exhib­ ition of craftwork and


crayon and watercolour drawings by pupils of Old


Langho School and Broc- khall evening' centre is on display at Whalley Lib­


rary until July 7th. The exhibition, which


was opened by,Mr Ken Lee.ming,- p r in c ip a l schools’ adviser for Lanca­ shire, marks the 25th an­ niversary of the founding of one of the first facilities to provide adult evefiing classes for the mentally handicapped.


Mr Jim Geddes, head of


Old Langho School and the evening centre, said the exhibition was a col­ ourful one, demonstrating the pupils’ ability to ap­ preciate life and form. Guests at the opening


included Mr Peter Evans, District Education Officer


for Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley, and Dr Gordon Bland, who was in charge of the evening class facility when it was first established.


Pictured is Mr Geddes

changes of tone colour and volume and the so f t strings and flutes of the organ came across in “On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring” by Delius. ‘ The nobility of the


“Great” Prelude, and Fugue and Bach made an impressive sound, as did the second fo two Choral- Improvisations by the German composer Karg- Elert. A “ C h a co n n e ” by


Gustav Holst, although arranged from brass band music, made an impres­ sive organ texture and Padre Martini’s. “Gavot- ta”, played on bright flute sounds provided an excel­ lent contrast. The concert came to an


end with Boellmann’s great “Suite Gothique,” its impressive opening choral followed by an‘at­ tractive minuet. In the third movements delight­ ful slow melody entitled “Priere a Notre Dame” the strings 'were suitably employed and the prog­ ramme ended with a rous­ ing performance of the famous Toccata. Mr Myers who was in­


troduced by the society’s president, Canon J. C. Hudson, was rewarded with much applause and added a short extra piece, an arrangement of a Gavotte from “Mignon” by French composer Am­ brose Thomas.


__ Cinema


THE story of a woman who t r ie s to expose unsafe working conditions in a nuclear plant is the subject of the film “Silk- w o o d ” sh ow in g at Clitheroe’s Civic Hall Cinema for a week start­ ing tomorrow. It stars Academy Award winner Meryl Streep.


DOLLS, teddy bears and Action Men were well to the fore when Whalley’s Mother and Toddler Group held a tea party in the Methodist Church Hall. About 50 youngsters


and their mums tucked into a feast of sausages, crisps, pies, sandwiches and jellies. Afterwards,' the tod­ dlers played with their


toys and received balloons and special badges.


Assurance of library priority


AN assurance was given to Ribble Valley Council on Tuesday that it- is un­ likely plans for, a new c e n t r a l


l ib r a r y in


Clitheroe will be put back any further. C om m en t in g on a


minute which said that the project is on the County Council’s 1986/87 draft capital programme, Coun. Ted Boden (Chat- bum) asked for an assur­ ance that it was top prior­ ity in the county’s plans. Recreation and Leisure


C om m it te e chairman Coun. Mrs Myra Clegg (Wiswell) said that the urgency of the Clitheroe project was recognised by county and added that she was sure there was no other library project likely to receive higher priority. Negotiations are still


taking place to find a suit­ able s i t e for a new library.


Colourful display of work 4* '


CHILDREN of Edisford School, Clitheroe, took an afternoon off on Monday to bring a . smile to the faces of members of the St Paul’s Over Sixties Club and other elderly residents.


They provided an afternoon of puppets,


pantomimes and playlets in St Paul’s Church Hall, as part of the Edisford and Low Moor Community Festival.


The event, attended by 50 people, was


organised by teachers Miss Vivienne Dukes, Mrs Paula Carter and Mrs Angela Wignall.-


The children taking part were from the


top junior and top infant classes and one of the school’s two reception classes.


Plea for fairer


payments


LOCAL recreation grants should be distributed more evenly in the future, with more money going to the villages, according to Coun. William Bowker (Chipping). This year only £15,000


was available to local or­ ganisations for recreation grants, he said, but appli­ cations totalling £105,000 were submitted. Coun. Bowker said that


there were many people in the villages who could not take advantage of the facilities in Clitheroe and Longridge and he asked for this to be taken into account when next year’s grants are allocated. “I would like an assur­


ance that more emphasis will be given to the volun­ tary organisations in the villages and that the money will Jbe spread more evenly,” he said. He also pointed out the


large deficits run up each year by the “large cost centres” in the towns and suggested that ways of malang economies should be looked at.


Celebrating success


ABOUT 70 members of C l i th e ro e Lions and Round Table got together again on Friday to cele­ brate the success of the recent Heritage Fair. The two clubs, which


organised the' fair jointly, made £1,500 for their own funds and overall the fair made £15,000 for charity. The.club members were


told at a dinner dance at the Stirk House Hotel, Gisburn, that another fair would be organised next year.
