the admiration of r e l a t i v e s

friends with their conjuring skil ls and are no w hoping for public engagements. Joe and Craig


( I I ) have separate acts, although they are both members of I’ reston Magic Circle and are in the same form at


Cl itheroe ltoyal Grammar School.


Joe, of Alderford


Close, has already appeared on stage at an old people's home in St Anncs with other junior members of the Circle.


But now he and


Craig, of Alher- marlc Street, are hoping that their fame will spread to Clitheroe organisa­ t ions and then perhaps invitations will pour in for ap­ pearances at chil­


dren’s parties and similar events..


Their acts in­


clude void tricks, m a n i p u l a t i n g


coins, vanishing silks, rope tricks and restoring torn newspapers.


“We took up con­


juring as a hobby when we were both p u p il s a t S t J a m e s ’ s

like the idea of be­ coming profession­

plan goes through


THE £550.000 plan to extend Clitheroe Library into the adjoining town hall has been included in County Council's draft capital programme for 10S6-S7.


The figure does not in­


clude purchasing the Town Hall. Building work is expected to account for £100,000 and furniture and equipment £150,000.


It is expected that the


scheme will be given prior ity in the prog­ ramme.

Traders seek views on Sunday


shopping


THE views of Clitheroe people are being sought on Sunday trading. From today, 25 Clitheroe Royal Grammar School sixth-form students' will be out and about in the town inviting people to answer a nine-point questionnaire prepared by the Chamber of Trade. The students are ex­


pected to question about 1.200 shoppers and other passers-by. And Chamber mem­


bers will be canvas­ sing an o th er S00 people at their places of work and worship. The survey is ex­


pected to be com­ pl eted ear l y next month and the results announced be f o r e Christmas. Street canvassing will


take place today, tomor­ row. on Tuesday ami possibly several other


days. The boys and girls will


be on duty at the Auction Mart and* Market and in C a s t le S t r e e t . King Street. Moor Lane and Kailway View with the questionnaire, aimed at making people think about the full implications of the <!ov ernment ’ s Sunday


Trading Bill. The questions, which


will be put to different age groups — under lSs, IS-Hos, do-oOs and over oils — are:


Do you want to


shop on Sunday? Would you change


your shopping habits if the law changed?


Do you think that


only certain types of simps should be open? Do you think that


all shops should he able to open without restrictions?


Do you think that


all shops should be able to open but with restrictions, e.g. noon to -l p.m.?


Do you think that


to make Sunday just another day to shop would be harmful to family life?


Are you a chur­


chgoer? Do you think that


as a tourist area Clitheroe would be­ nefit from Sunday trading?


Do you work in the


retail trade? So far the Chamber


itself has not adopted an official policy, although one suggestion for the wholesale abolition of re­ strictions is being viewed with disquiet by many members. Chamber vice-chairman


Mr Boland Hailwood said: “We are hoping that the impartial survey will give a true picture of the pub­ lic's attitude and help us to decide what line to


take.” The Bill starts its prog­


ress through the House of Lords a week today.


• The sixth-formers


taking part in the canvas­ sing are studying govern­ ment. economics and com­ merce and will use then findings for their A-level svllabus. * Head of department Mr


Kddie Murphy said that they would he particularly


interested in examining what is involved in street


canvassing and the accu­ racy of opinion polls.


Ready for anything


Rehousing solution in s i g h t


A SOLUTION is in sight 'o the dilemma of rehous­ ing Clitheroe barber John Wignall and his family to make wav for the final demolition of Waterloo


Mill. Borough Solicitor Mr


Paul Timson told the Kibble Valley Council’s Planning and Transporta­ tion Committee that Mr Wignall. whose shop and home adjoin the mill, has now accepted the possibil­


ity that he may not find alternative premises in


the Clitheroe area. He is now suggesting


that he will retire and move to Whallev. where he has a part-time job at Calderstones. He would like a three-


bedroomed house and al­ though there are none in the village in the Council's ownership, it could buy one for the price it would have been prepared to pay in Clitheroe. The property would then be rented to the Wignalls. The committee agreed


in principle that Mr Timson should continue with negotiations for the


purchase. Borough Planning and Technical O f f ic e r Mr


Philip Bailey reported that the second phase of


the mill demolition was going ahead. The third and final phase, which in­ cludes the Wignall proper­ ty. should be completed earlv in the New Year.

Learning to fight


litter bug


A LETTER about public enemy number one . . . litter, published in last week’s Advertiser and Times, sparked off the im agination o f Clitlu-rot headmaster Mr David Law. For now the pupils in


junior four at Brookside County Primary School


are carrying out a survey on the different kinds and


amounts of litter to be found in the playground and streets adjacent to the school. Said Mr Law: "I read


the letter by ‘Knee Deep* and realised that if the children carried out survey using graphs, it would help them to under­ stand graphs in mathema­ tics and also teach them how to keep Clitheroe tidy.” So far the children have


only checked the play­ ground but have found toffee wrappers, crisp hags and a broken bottle.
