THURSDAY 3rd JULY THE SHOUT approx 9.15pm -
ceived was not the cus tomary medal with a middle marking the occasion, but a cheap plastic key-ring saying "Roefield Leisure Cen tre, Clitheroe” ; the type of thing one might get on Blackpool fun fair or in a Christmas cracker. It doesn't even men
tion Clitheroe 800, or the year, or the distance of our efforts, and yet technically I suppose it is a souvenir. But what souvenir of Clitheroe
in its 800th year for visi tors to take away!
Even the race“orga-
niser” told me that he would have been put out to receive it and that the other organisers, listed on the entry form as the Ribble Valley Sports
and Recreation Associa tion, had declined his offer to take care of the medals and said they would provide them. One of these organisers told me they wished to make a profit for their Roefield charity and I was even asked if I'd have preferred a lOp pen instead! No race runs at a loss.
The only expression for this one is “rip-off’ , at the expense o f the majority of runners who can never hope to win prizes and who only have the finishers' award to look forward to as a tangible record of their efforts. I’ve been in many charity runs and have never been so cheaply treated, and
that was the feeling of everyone I spoke to af ter the race. Run ners do not
choose their races simp ly to support a charity. I f some of their entry fee is used for that pur pose, that’s fine, but to give runners such rub bish insults them and disgraces Clitheroe. Let us not mistake
the finances involved: some 300 of us paid be tween £2 and £2.50 each to enter, we had to pro vide a large SAE for our race number, pay 20p to park and another 50p if
we wanted race results. Then, of course, there were travelling ex penses, quite consider able for those from out of the area.
Destroying our town centre
MR PICKUP is right in his criticism of the Civic Society, but is wrong about Clitheronians’ feelings on the mutila tion o f our historic buildings, and I lay stress on ours. We also abhor the
way Ribble Valley Borough Council has gone about this matter. Does it think we are c om p le te
id io ts
altogether? To have a good lib
rary of service to all residents, it needs to be sited on one level with adequate parking space. Why has the Ribble Val-
Party's plea for compassion
ON Ethnic Minorities Group of the Clitheroe Labour Party held a deliberate ly low-key picket of local
JUNE 14th the penchant for following Tory head office dogma, even against the wishes of the majority of his constituents (e.g. ‘ the
MP David WaddingtonT !Ednday Trading Bill), Our aim was to bring to many, therefore, see
his attention the whole concern felt over the Home Office's immigra tion policies and to ask him to show a little com passion in dealing with the issues raised. Since then I have
been contacted by va rious sources desperate ly seeking advice on a wide range of issues. Obviously there are
occasions when the loc al MP is the best person to contact. However, given Mr Waddington's position at the Home Office and his particular
him as holding views c on t ra ry to th e ir wishes. Consequently, I feel
that it is important to say that the Ribble Val ley Labour Party is available to give con fidential advice on any issue and can be con tacted, preferably in writing, via my home address. MR S. WHITTLE, Secretary, Ribble Valley Labour Party, 13 Central Avenue, Clitheroe.
Will rent arrears be forfeited?
IT IS hard to believe that the Borough Treasurer can accuse me of being misleading alter reading his letter in last week’s paper.
Who is he kidding
when he argues that a more frequent national revaluation of property will not cost ratepayers one penny of expendi ture? Ratepayers? Tax payers? Someone pays.
Yes, the rating system
is unfair, but a revalua tion of property will do little to put it right, except penalise those who improve their homes. The Treasurer states that he has never used the allocation of block
grant as a blanket ex cuse for the council's financial worries, an assertion which, of course, I did not make, but which I felt eman ated from the council as a whole On the question of
rent arrears of £23,285, the Treasurer has not yet made a decision, and it has not yet been put to council, but rent arrears have been for feited in the past and I will await with interest the outcome. If he had taken care in
reading my short letter, he would have noticed that I slated that the council "should not be embarking on any su perfluous expenditure," an indirect reference
to the article which appeared in the paper regarding the proposed spending of £312,000 (and how much more, when it is finally com pleted, 1 wonder) on a civic suite. One man’s idea of pru
dent expenditure is not necessarily another's!
JU L IA N A. PAR KINSON, Beechthorpe Avenue, Waddington.
ley Council consistently turned down the Lan cashire County Council when it applied for suit able sites. There have been numerous avail able. Does the council real
ly want an adequate lib rary or a civic suite at the expense o f the other? For whatever it does, and however hard the architects try, it is impossible to make a good library out of the two adjoining buildings in Church Street, both of which the previous Borough never paid a penny for, being gifts from the two Parliamen tary Members at the time of building the Council Chamber and Mayor’s Parlour. The Carnegie Trust built the Library. As our association has
objected both to the civic suite at Mytton
should have been a pub lic inquiry on the prop osals to mutilate and destroy our historic town. What has happened to
the Town Council? Is it because we have no Clitheronians on that august body of men and women? Perhaps they are unaware that what Clitheroe had prior to reorganisation was not through the efforts of C l ith e ro e Borough Council, but because of the loyalty of previous residents of the town and gifts bestowed on Clitheroe in the past. It is hypocritical to
celebrate 800 years for the Castle and at the same time destroy our town centre. MRS ETHEL PENNY, Secretary, Old Age Pensions Association, Clithcroc.
WELL DONE! What concerns me is
that this was publicised as a Clitheroe 800 event, yet the chairman of the 800 Committee told me they have no responsibility for it, since virtually anything can go un der the Clitheroe 800 banner. What price, then, the hard work of so many other folk in this year of celebration? Yes, I’ll remember
C l i th e r o e ’ s 800th anniversary all right! MISS ANN R. STEVENSON, (runner no. 510), 130 Whalley Road, Read.
C O N G R A T U L A TIONS to all concerned on the “Merrie Eng land" production held at the Castle open-air theatre. The result of months
of hard work paid off in the spectacle of such a marvellous perform ance. The whole produc tion was a delight from start to finish, including costumes, lighting, acting and singing, top ped off by the beautiful surroundings of the Castle grounds. Well done to you all in
producing a show only Clitheroe could host. It was a credit to the Valley.
IAN S. LLOYD, Chairman, Clitheroe 800.
Civic society replies
TWO letters were pub lished in last week’s “ A d v e r t is e r and Times", the first from Mr R. Pickup and the second from the Town Clerk, both criticising, or implying criticism, of Clitheroe Civic Society on a number of issues. First of all, the new
library. Mr Pickup criti cised the society for supporting the project, while Mrs Tomlinson was disappointed that we hadn’t supported the proposals. Sometimes you just can't win! In fact, before making
our views known, our committee had a very useful meeting with the County Librarian and other County Council officials to discuss the plans in detail and to make some suggestions. We concluded that the scheme was a sound one and have consistently supported it and stand by that decision. Last November, by
way of this newspaper, the society also express ed its satisfaction with Ribble Valley Borough
House, and therprop-t Council’s Revised plans osed new library, there for Mytton' House. We
w e re p a r t icu la r ly pleased to learn that the existing facade was to be retained. However, the former
antique shop next door was not included in these plans and no men tion of its possible use by the Town Council has been made until quite recently. The Civic Society is
concerned with conserv ing the appearance of Church Street and the existing plans for Myt ton House and the Lib rary do precisely that. However, we have se rious misgivings about any attempt to con struct a new front in “Georgian” style, in re placement of the ex isting shop front on number nine. Furthermore, I can
only repeat that the council’s proposal is con trary to its previously
declared policy against the conversion of shops to offices and could so easily act as a precedent for further encroach ments of this kind in the future. It is unfortunate if
these views are seen as being non-supportive of the Town Council. If the Civic Society’s opinions are to be respected at ail, the society must maintain its independ ence and state its views accordingly. It is in evitable that these views will not always coincide with those of Mr Pickup or Town Council. J. R. CHEW, Vice Chairman, C l i th e r o e Society.

A FORMER Mayoress of Clitheroe, Mrs Mary E. Chatburn, has died, aged 78.
Mrs Cha tburn,
Claimed benefits while
working
A WELDER signed on for unemployment be
nefits while he was working, because he wanted to set up in busi ness and qualify for the Government's Enter p r is e - Al low an ce Scheme, Cl ith e ro e magistrates were told. John Cherry (49), of
Dove Syke Farm, West Bradford, was fined £75 for each of two offences of receiving money from the Department of Em ployment,by deception. Each offence involved £60-90 for a two-week period. Mr Keith Bagot, de
fending, said that Cher ry, who was made re dundant on Christmas Eve, was offered work by a friend in March. He continued to sign on be cause he could not qual ify for the Government scheme until he had been unemployed for 13 weeks. He had now set up in
business without Gov ernment aid and had also paid back the four weeks' unemployment benefits to which he had not been entitled.
formerly of Park Ave nue, Clitheroe, was born in Hurst Green and educated at Clitheroe Girls' Grammar School.
She and her husband,
former Clitheroe Mayor Mr Clifford Chatbum, were married at St. Pe te r ’s, Stonyhurst, in 1936. Before her mar riage, Mrs Chatburn worked as a clerk and secretary at Trutex, Grindleton.
She was Clitheroe
Mayoress from 1954-56 and prior to that her family and church work were her main activi ties.
For many years Mrs
Chatbum was president of the Ladies’ Guild of SS Michael and John’s Church, Clitheroe, and served on the Old Peo ple's Welfare and Oxfam Committees. Mrs Chatburn also
served Clitheroe as a County Councillor, be ginning in 1967. She was a member of the Chil dren’s and Education Committees. Mrs Chatbum is sur
vived by her husband and children, John, Mary, Barbara, Mar garet, Susan, Clifford (jun) and Peter. A Requiem Mass will
be said at SS Michael and John’s Church on Monday, followed by burial in Clitheroe Cemetery.
