CLITHEROE writer Chris Curry had her ninth radio play broad­ cast last week as part of the Comedy Playhouse series on BBC Radio Four. The half-hour play,


“Departures” , told of the difficulties faced by a newly-retired husband in persuading his wife that they shoud make the very most of their


free time. Chris, of Railway


View, is currently lamenting the decision of Granada Television to axe the soap opera "Albion Market” , which she helps to write. It will end in August.


Politics degree


STARTING work on a management develop­ ment scheme with Lloyds Bank in Man­ chester in September is Chris Rawson (22), of Pighill Cottage, Wad- dington. Chris, the son of Mr.


and Mrs. J. Rawson, of Waddington, has gained a B.A. honours degree in politics at the Uni­ versity of Reading.


Popular martial art


IF you have ever fan­ cied “ throwing” yourself wholeheartedly into a new hobby, why not join a new Ciitheroe club which p ra ct ise s the ancient Japanese mar­ tial art of Ju-Jitsu? The Ciitheroe Ju-


Jitsu Club held its first session on Tuesday in


the old Co-op buildings, Moor Lane, after initial interest was stirred by a demonstration evening, which 90 p e ople attended. The organiser is Mr


Les Petty, who holds a black belt in the martial art. Along with other instructors from Bamol-


dswick Ju-Jitsu Club, where he is a member, Mr Petty will give coaching to juniors and


seniors. Anyone interested is


invited along to the new club on Tuesdays. Ses­ sions for juniors begin at 6.30 p.m. and for seniors at 8 p.m.

QUACKERS ABOUT THEIR NEW


SCHOOL FRIENDS


THERE are definitely no ugly ducklings at Edisford County Prim­ ary School where Daf­ fy , D on a ld and W hitc fo o t have be­ come instant celebri­ ties. Now three weeks


old, the ducklings were hatched in the school incubator. Their prog­ ress is being carefully monitored and the three, resident on the school pond, have be­ come a firm favourite with pupils and staff. Budding duck far­


mer Shaun Roberts (8), o f Siddows Farm, Henthorn, took a num­ ber o f eggs to school two months ago. With his friends—


David Wilmot (8 ), Dawn Jones (9) and Simon Goodbear (9)— he turned the eggs


twice daily, marking each one with a blue spot for night and a sun for daytime. All four children were de­ lighted when the eggs hatched. W ith a d ie t o f

MBE award for son of W addington


A FORMER Wadding­ ton man is to receive the MBE in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in the autumn. The honour has been


bestowed upon Mr. Leonard Thomas Oddie, now living in Belgium, for services rendered to the British community in Brussels. Mr. O ddie, who


served in the Household Cavalry from 1944 to 1947, emigrated to Bel­ gium in 1948 on his mar­ riage to his wife, Josy, a native of the country. He was chairman of


the Brussels branch of Toe H from 1954 to 1960 and held similar posi­ tions with Brussels British Football Club (1968-1971) and the British United FC from 1972-80.


Mr. Oddie, whose late


parents-Tom, an insur­ ance broker, and Han­ nah, a former “Advertis­ er and Times” village correspondent — were well-known locally, was “ surprised, but very honoured indeed” at the news of his selection in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. Mr. Oddie has been a


member of the Brussels British Community Association since 1969. He is still closely in­ volved with all British sporting activities in the capital and has also been a long-serving member of its Holy Trinity Pro­ testant Cathedral serv­ ing on the building com­ mittee for its preserva­ tion.


His son, Danny, is a professor.

BECAUSE butterflies sit with their wings closed vertically over their backs, many of them are less brightly coloured on the under than on the upper surface so that they may be better hidden when resting. While out walking in Bowland last month I came across a species which would seem to be an exception to this rule, for the underside was a brilliant green while the upperside was a dull brown. The green underwing immediately identified


this species as the “ Green Hnirstreak", the latter part o f the name referring to the row o f white streaks running across the underside o f the hind wing. Resting as it does on leaves, the green colour actually provides the best camouflage. It is a small butterfly with a wingspan o f little more than one inch. Because it is adapted to a wide range of food


plants, it can be found throughtout the British Isles. However, it is certainly not common in this area; prior to coming across this colony I knew o f only one other in the Ribble Valley. They do seem to live in fairly well-defined colonies which may be only a few yards or so across. Neighbour­ ing land, which looks identical to the human eye,


is not used at all. There is only one generation per year with the


adults on the wing in May and June. The eggs are laid singly because the larvae, which look like small green woodlice, arc cannibalistic after their first moult. If raised in captivity they need to be kept in separate containers. The larval stage lasts for about one month. The pupae arc very compact in shape and have


been described as resembling trussed chickens. They lie in the general litter underneath the food plant and this stage lasts for about 10 months.


TONY COOPER ‘Time marches on’


THIS w e ek 's mail brought a letter from an "Advertiser and Times" reader, now living in Morecambe and long an emigrant from our g reen v i l la g e .N ow widowed and on her own, it is clear that she has the fondest memor­ ies of the countryside where her roots are deeply buried.


She enquires after


many old friends in the district - Cicely Frank- land, Billy Clint.Tommy Hickey (sen) and others — names which will be very familiar to all old timers in the village.


My correspondent


tells of an uncle who brought 100 sheep from Scotland to Whalley sta­ tion and recalls happy farming days at Shaw- houses and, later, at "Whittam House farm near the hospital". She writes,too,about


her mother, who I knew well- a very remarkable old lady who worked part—time at Brockhall Hospital until near her 80th birthday. This very special old dear was a familiar sight in the neighbourhood, driving

smartly along in her lit­ tle pony and trap. Now, of course, it is


nearly a quarter of a century since anybody brought sheep to Whal­ ley station. The passen­ g er line closed on September 8th,1962 and I still have the last tick­ et issued at the booking office, together with a letter of authentication signed by Brian Edge, Stationmaster. Within months, the


goods department also closed and now the cat­ tle enclosures are gone and all the adjacent buildings. In their place there


stands our new tele­ phone exchange and a half-dozen or so small industrial units. Newly-built, they are


not yet in use and there is much speculation in the village as to the na­ ture of the small indus­ tries they will eventual­ ly house.


neat, inconspicuous and well screened by forest trees and will, we hope, soon be a very real asset to the community. The impact on the environ­ ment is minimal.


With the envisaged


run—down of Calder- stones Hospital any new sources of employment will be very welcome and the new workshops are much less a visual eye—sore than the bat­ tered, decaying old buildings they have re­ placed.


"Time marches on” , a


dreadful old cliche 1 know, but we must sup­


press our nostalgic yearnings for the things that will never return and think only of the future. Who knows what lies


ahead for those small industrial units, soon to be established in the on e— time railway goods yard? Remember it is little more than a century ago since a far- m e r ’ s lad called Beecham made his first pills in the kitchen of a l it t le coun try cot ­ tage.
