THIS year’s autumn study course arranged by the Ribble Valley Church Council should have considerable appeal locally.


For the three Monday


Admitted drinking oo much


IT was apparent to police that Clitheroe driver John Patrick Marsden (26), of Kirkmoor Road, had been drinking when he ran into parked car in King


Street, Whalley, in the e a r ly hours of the


morning. Clitheroe magistrates


disqualified him from driving for two years and fined him £175 for having 94 mierograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath, the legal limit being 35 mic­


rograms. He was also fined £60


for driving without due care and attention. Mr John Houldstvorth, defending, told the court that Marsden had been upset because a tenant of his had tried to commit suicide by burning the


house down. Marsden admitted that


he had had too much to drink.


evening sessions this month are devoted to a study of “Rural Depriva­ tion," taking a closer look at the problems facing vil­ lage communities today. The series is based on a


booklet written by the Rev. John Salsbury, Minis­ ter of Clitheroe United Re­ formed Church, entitled “And is there honey still?" which shows how big the gap is between the roman­ tic image of country life and the realities for the people who live there. Much attention is fo


cused at present on the lam down areas of inner cities, but rural areas have also experienced a run-down of facilities which has in­ creasingly restricted the development of a full and vigorous community life.


In accordance with the


theme, meetings introduc­ ing the subject and con­ sidering tourism and the survival of the rural church will be held at Downham, Chatburn and finally Grindleton, starting on Monday at 7-30 p.m. and affording ample opportun­ ity for discussion.

THE French Circle of Ribblesdale was enter­ tained with a humorous and well-illustrated talk by Mr Jean Luc Cantor, of Queen Elizabeth Gram­ mar School, Blackburn.


His description of life in


the Normandy town of Mortagne provided an in­ sight into work and play in the agricultural area, which has a population of \000.


At Monday's meeting at


the Three Fishes Hotel, Milton, Gene Pope and Mary Thorite will present illustrated guide to


Vihiers, Whallev's twin town. The meeting, start­ ing at S p.m. is open to the public.

A ‘great honour for Oakhiir


TOUGH FIGHT


CLITHEROE Chess Club A team faced a tough challenge when they met Hurnlev A at


the Station Hotel. Burnley has a long history of


winning, being league champ­ ions again last year. Clitheroe has never beaten Burnley in all the encounters, and with a weaker team this season than during the last few years, another defeat was anticipated. Andrew Cooper drew his board one game and Erie Man­ sfield. after apparently heading Jefeat on board two. won :arne


for def


his game. The


rest of the team —


Deter Ryan. Alex Bajski and Simon Karmann — fought hard and indeed gave the opposition a fright, but were beaten in the end to give Burnley another victor.’ by boards to l 1.*:.


Next week the teams meet


again at Burnley in the Lucas Shield competition.


Hallow-e’en revellers stay away


HALLOW-E'EN had no nasty surprises in store for Sabden this year, thanks to abysmal weather and the closure of both village pubs, which kept revellers


well away. Parish council chairman


Mr Alf Parsons com­ mented: “It was even quie­ ter than last year, when there were one or two small incidents and l think the pubs closing was a great help.


There was no reason for


people to get off buses in the village and those who went through and up Pen- dle soon came back." Police also reported that


on Pendleside it was one of the i|Uietcst celebrations


for years, though they made three arrests for public order offences. They attributed Hallow­


e'en's peaceful passing to the heavy rain and high winds.


The first session took


place on Sunday morning, beginning at 9-30 a.m. and finishing at 10-15, when Eucharist was cele­ brated.


On hand to help was


the Bradford Diocesan Children's Adviser. Mrs Barbara Marsh, who as­ s is ted te a ch e r s Mrs Pamela Davies, Mrs Liz Rowntree and Miss Re­ becca Vaughan in setting up the school.


Already there are ..


dozen members, but more are welcome to join.


The Rector of Grindle­


ton. Fr Trevor Vaughan, is understandably pleased.


He said: "It's yet another part of our total church work; it fills a gap and helps to provide a better Christian education for children."

Drab set is part of play’s design


ON Friday I went to see the Whalley Churc "h . * * . i


_-


Players’ production of by N. C. Hunter. On entering the CE


e oi t r i


School 1 saw a set that was beautifully con­ structed, but drab. It was only as the play progres­ sed that I realised the drabness was essential and so cleverly designed.


Basically, it is the story


of an hotel whose perma­ nent residents have "come down in the world" but learned to live with each other and who are sud­ denly invaded by a family who almost live on another planet, but who arouse strong emotions.


Diane Boothman's por­


trayal of Helen was abso­ lu te ly r ig h t — she wreaked havoc and bliss­ fully ignored it. Michael Taylor, as Julius, under­ played his ch a ra c te r beautifully and we had a great deal of affection for him. Virginia Harrison as Evelyn, gave a very sen­ sitive performance, much

appreciated by the audi-1 enee.


We felt for Barry Phil­


lips and Juliette Harrison as husband and daughter


having to live with Helen, but they seemed to cope. I Carole Dewhurst, as Mrs Ashworth, had lines which, as written, are not I very comic, but her deliv­ ery, timing and facial ex­ pressions brought to life a v e ry h e a r t -w a rm in g


character. There were also fine


cameos by John Day as the Colonel. Jean Price as “mum” and Alice Ward as Mrs Whvtc — where did they find someone who looks so much like Sybil Thorndvke? Playing John. Chris |


Katcliffe convinced us that he was consumptive and had our sympathy — but slow down, lad, you tended to gobble syllables of some of your words and we lost parts of the


dialogue. I was particularly im- I


pressed by the sound ef­ fects. The cues were abso­ lutely on time and the sound n ev e r over-| shadowed the action. Cos­ tumes. too. were pleasing and in keeping with the | period of the play and with the characters. I listened to the depart­


ing members of the audi­ ence, who commented ! “it’s a lovely play” “quite philosophical” — I ‘really enjoyed i t .” I I


agreed with everything | that they said. Well done. Church Players, your au­ dience went home having thoroughly enjoyed this production by Dorothy Duckworth.

Farmed for 50 years


A CATTLE dealer well- known in the Ribble Val­ ley, Mr George Braith- waite. has died, aged 71. Mr B ra i thw a i te , of


Fishes and I’cggs Hill Farm, Clitheroe, was involved in agriculture for nearly 50 years and also fanned in Rimington and Sawley. He maintained this keen interest until the end of his life. He was also interested


in local her itage and helped to preserve, at his own expense, a portion of the historic arches which once formed part of the main entrance to Sawley Abbey. He leaves three sons and two daughters.
