Freeze tax on tobacco is plea


VILLAGE shops in the Clitheroe district could be forced out of business if the Chancellor introduces more swingeing increases in tobacco sales tax. That is. the alarming


message from Mr John Parry, spokesman for the Tobacco Alliance, which promotes the interests of the tobacco trade. He is organising meetings with local shops as part of a national drive to freeze tobacco tax. A meeting at Central

MORE than 2,500 people enjoyed a spectacular bonfire and fireworks display,' at Clitheroe Castle after a morning of pouring rain threatened to put a


damper on the event. Luckily for the organisers, Clithcroc and Ribblcsdale Rotarg and Rotaracl

A credit to youth


I WOULD just like to say a word of thanks to a young man who is a credit to the youth of your town. My "lT-year-old son was


having trouble with a fiat rear tyre on his Honda scooter on the night of October 23rd, when the weather was really foul. He was s t ru g g l in g through the rain in Os- waldtwistle and it would have been a long hard slog back to G re at Harwood. The young man in ques­


1. As he does not state


to which clubs and regula­ tions he is referring, he is not in a, position to judge the actions of the commit­ tee who have all the facts before them. We would say, however, that the committee does try to be consistent in matters where it has discretion, but of course decisions can vary, depending on which members are pre­ sent at which meetings. 2. Clubs arc normally


notified immediately by the treasurer of any fines imposed or, as in one case recently, by the secret­ ary. as it can be some time before the minutes are circulated, so clubs are NOT “the last to know their fate." it is very difficult for


executive members when they are stopped and "badgered" as to what has


gone on at meetings, it was, however, decided some time ago that infor­ mation should only be given out by the secret­ ary. If what Mr Coulston alleges is true, his ques­ tions arc unanswerable unless either an executive member admits to this or the other person con­ cerned admits to receiving information. 3. We would point out


the inference that they put financial gain before the game of football. Over the past few years


the committee has been greatly concerned at the increasing number of in­ fringements and takes no delight in having to impose fines, knowing very well the amount of money it takes to run a club these days.


The "petty rules," as he


calls them, are made and passed by the clubs them­ selves and where clubs do not act in the spirit of the game, this results in rules having to be introduced to stop the abuse.
