esture of Help wanted goodwill
FOLLOWING the report, about the incident outside the Y o rk sh ire - Bank, Clitheroe, in which a youth s tole Edisford School’s Savings Bank m on ey from the caretaker, I thought read ers would like to know that I have received sev eral messages expressing disgust that such an inci dent should take place in Clitheroe. Concern was also ex
pressed that the children had lost their savings.
Two very kind people,

who would not give their names, offered to reim burse the children for the amount not recovered. One was a man who of fe red to . replace the £19.20 stolen and another was from a woman who had been collecting 20p pieces, and amassed about £20-worth. I did not take advan
tage of these kind offers as the bank, as a gesture of goodwill on this occa sion only, has stated that it will make up the sum not recovered. I do ap preciate its generosity.
Readers may like to
know that some of the money has been found. A little girl, Michelle Wood- worth. of Carlton Place, found* he bank books and £8.20 in silver, on the pavement as she was going home from school. I would like to thank her for returning the money to the school and praise her for her honesty. May I exp re s s my
thanks, on behalf of the children, parents and staff of the school, to all the kind people of Clitheroe who contacted me after reading your report, in particular the two anony mous people who offered to make good the loss out of their own savings.
D. W. THOMAS, Head teacher, Edisford County Primary School, Clitheroe.

Letters to the Editor . . .
known about the distribu tion of badgers in Lanca shire, though much must be known about particular areas by local naturalists, farmers and land owners.
The object of the exer
cise is to collate existing information about badger setts but, more impor tantly, to stimulate re cording where there are gaps. The records will then be useful in three ways:
• To form a base line so
that we can tell whether the badger population is stable, increasing or de clining.
• To provide informa
tion on the location of setts which could be dam aged by development.
• To give some indica
tion on the extent that badger digging is still taking place and, hence, where vigilance is needed.
If any reader has infor
mation about the location of badger setts which are either in current use or have been used in the past five years, would they please contact me, either by letter or tele phone (Clitheroe 24577), when I will be pleased to give them further details of the information which is required. Any informa tion .will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Unfortunately, persecu
tion of badgers does still take place and so only two copies of the records will be kept, one by the Trust and one by the NCC. In formation on sett location will also be made avail able in confidence to the local chief inspector of the RSPCA who is vigorously active in badger protec tion.

Pat on back for town
WOULD you please pass on to the people con c e rn e d how b r ig h t Clitheroe looked when we visited the town on Satur day. We thought the Morris dancing was a tre mendous spectacle and en
joyed it tremendously. Also the bunting and ban ners from the Chamber of Trade and Round Table were colourful and cheer ful (a pity we seldom see the same round here). Lastly, and most especial ly, it just shows how’ much forward-thinking are the shopkeepers. Why several have already put out th e ir Christmas lights! Well done Clitheroe for
a good effort. See you on Sunday.
MR ED SNEATH Rossendale Valley
Helped run family
business
A WOMAN who helped in the running of a family furniture business in Clitheroe for about 40 years has died. Mrs Elizabeth Sowerbutts (82), who lived at St Mary’s Street, Clitheroe, was born in Slaidburn and lived in the Clitheroe area all her life. She worked for a time
at the former Cunning ham’s shoe shop in Castle Gate, before marrying and raising her family. Mrs Sowerbutts as
sisted her late husband, Harry, in running the family’s King Street busi ness when he took it over in the early 1940s. She was an active
member of the Clitheroe United Reformed Church and also of the British and Foreign Bible Society. She was a former member of the Evening Townswo mens’ Guild and Wadding ton WI. She is survived by her
son, Allan, and daughter, Sheila. A funeral service will
be held in the United Re formed Church' on Friday, followed by cremation at Accrington.
Changes at the Swan
A PLAN to use the base ment at the Swan and Royal Hotel, Clitheroe, as a restaurant has been given planning approval, despite concern over the formation of a new door way in Castle Street. The town council was
worried the street scene would be changed, but the borough council’s Planning and Technical Officer Mr Philip Bailey, reported to a Development Sub-com mittee meeting that care ful consideration had been given to the matter. The new d o o rw a y
would be painted to match the existing window open ings, said Mr Bailey. It is also proposed to extend the building to form new beer cellar.
Ex-teacher dies on holiday
A FO RM E R R ib b le Valley schoolteacher col lapsed and died on Satur day while on holiday in St Annes with her husband. Mrs Mary Britcliffe,
who was 76, was waiting for a bus to Blackpool when she collapsed. Born in Accrington,
Mrs B r i t c l i f fe was b r o u g h t up in the Clitheroe area and spent the majority of her teach ing career at Sabden’s Baptist infant school. H ow e v e r , she also
taught at Barrow and Chatburn and during the making of the film “Whis tle Down the Wind” , she gave lessons at the Wor- ston film location and also went to Pinewood Studios t o . teach the children. After spending her final teaching years at Whalley CE School, she retired in 1967. Mrs B r itc lif fe , who.
lived with her husband; Winston, at Woodland View, Whalley, was a m em b e r o f W h a l le y Mothers’ Union, Whalley WI and Whalley Abbey Fellowship. Music was one of her
prime interests and she was a very good pianist. At one tifne she occasion ally deputised on piano for. the o r ch e s tra which played at Clitheroe Pal ladium, o f which her father was leader. She is survived by her
husband and sons Michael and Colin.
Ladies’ NFU service
THE Clitheroe branch' of the Lancashire Ladies’ , social section of the NFU held a se rvice at St Peter’s, Stonyhurst, on Sunday. About 250 people at
tended including county chairman Mrs Smith. The service was conducted by Fr Paul Magill and les sons read by the presi dent, Mrs Joan Holden, and Mr Stanley Bullock, vice-chairman of Bowland NFU. Miss Sarah Collinge, of
Stonyhurst, accompanied the congregation on the trumpet for the hymn “ The L o r d ’ s My Shepherd.” The offertory was taken
up by Mrs Mabel Holden, Mrs Dorothy Armer, Mrs Sylvia Berry and Mrs Cathryn Cowgill. Afterwards refresh
ments were served. Mrs. Holden thanked everyone for attending.

We deliver in the CLITHEROE— CHIPPING , — LONGRIDGE AREAS
THE road outside St Helen’s Church, Wadding ton, was a scene of great activity on Monday, for the St Helen’s Church fair. Selling was fast and
furious throughout the day, with goods ranging from ted dy bears to theological books and hot food to Pendle witches. Throughout the day the
church was open for vis itors and a steady stream took the opportunity of looking round and listen ing to the programme of music, including items from the church choir, which had been arranged by Mr and Mrs D. Hart ley, the organist and choirmistress. Children taking part in
cluded Rachel and Sally Bryan, Louise and Char lo t te Chappel, Simon J one s and Christine Baxter. Refreshments were on
sale throughout the day, the church vestry becom ing an impromptu cafe. Seen at one of the stalls
are, from the left, Mrs Eva Downhill, Mrs Kay Robbins, Mrs Mary Dug: dale, Mrs Edna Brown, Lyndsay Metcalfe (11), Sarah Phillips (9), Jane Sharrocks (8).
Bridge Club
WINNERS of the duplicate pairs session at Clitheroe Bridge Club were NS Mr W. L. Wilkinson and Mrs D. Snowden, Mrs Sheffield and Mrs Kirkham. EW Mr R. At kinson and Mr P. Jennings, Mr D. Hall and Mr B. Hounslow. When bidding, as well as
taking into account high card values, consideration should also be given to distribution. The following hand illustrates this when EW can make 11 tricks with spades as trumps and NS can make 11 tricks with diamonds as trumps. As East would first bid
spades (rather than West, who would open one heart), if North South do bid to five diamonds, West must bid to-five spades, rather than pass or double, as he has few defensive tricks (with his spades and his long hearts), but in a spade contract his hand is very powerful. W dealer, game all.

pleted a second “feeder” electricity line for the vil lage. This means that though future power cuts may occur, supplies will be restored quicker, with the cu r r e n t b e in g switched to the additional line. • Fears were expressed for old people following a serious blackout in the vil lage in March.
