ondary schools took part, the others being St Au­ gustine’s, winners of the senior section (15 to 18 years), Bowland, Ribbies- dale and Clitheroe Royal Grammar School for Boys, which was runner-up in the junior contest (11 to


14 years). Each team — made up

School tr io , Joanne Geddes made out the case that women were up to the cut and thrust of busi­


land, described her recipe for a happy life, assisted by Diane Skellorn (chair­ man) and David Graveston. The boys’ grammar

Mixed reception for bus passes


THE half-fare bus pass scheme being offered by the Ribble Valley Council came in for both iraise and criticism at a meeting of the iorough’s Parish Councils’ Liaison Committee. Coun. Charles Wark- favour of it. Also, it ought


man (Mellor) thought the scheme had been general­ ly welcomed by those who understood it. But Coun. Jack Carr (Billington) said the true cost to the pen­ sioner was far more than the £5 charge made for the pass. He pointed out there was also the cost of the photograph needed for the pass as well as the cost of travelling to have the picture taken.


Coun. Bill Fleming (Bil­


lington) said that it was not possible to have a scheme to please every­ one. However, he was quite sure that, after a year, people would realise that if they are going to travel, the scheme would be of great benefit.


By and large, the vast


majority of people who had spoken to him were in


to generate some travel on buses. Chief Executive Mr


Michael Jackson reminded members that a photo­ grapher would be at the council offices in Church Walk between 10 a.m. and noon this week to enable pensioners to have their picture taken for the pass. Also P y e ’s p h o to ­


graphers in York Street would be open normal shop hours to take pic­ tures. The set charge was £1. He added that the scheme was open to women of 60 and over and


men 65 and over. Post Offices in the


Ribble Valley are now is­ suing the passes and will do so up to April 13th. After that date applic­


ants must go to the coun­ cil offices.
