TALKS are being arranged to try and allevi ate flooding at the rear of bungalows in Page- field Crescent, Clitheroe.

cause settlement problems to the homes.
Ft
Works and Health Com mittee agreed to talks with the Standen Estate, owners of the field, to examine the possibility of sharing the cost of build ing a culvert.
The council’s Public
(Clitheroe) said he thought the council had a moral responsibility to help. Residents were becoming increasingly concerned as water coming down Pendle Hill lapped nearer to their properties.

(Clitheroe) said that with all the talk of the ground b ecom in g u n s ta b le through water movement, residents must be very worried.
borough’s legal and admin istration manager, said residents were willing to find half the cost of the scheme, providing the council funded the rest. The total cost ranged up to £3,000, but there was the chance of a 25% grant from the Ministry of Agri culture. A culvert would enable the water to be diverted to Pendle Road and into the drainage system. The committee agreed

usual contract was five dia monds by south, making 11 or 12 tricks, but on two occasions it was played in three no trumps bv north, as south reasoned that if five diamonds would make 11 tricks then three no trumps must make at least nine tricks, and possibly more. At one table, against three no

Good cause for celebration
CLITHEROE and Dis trict Scouts had plenty to celebrate at their 75th AGM. Las t y e a r saw the
trumps, east led a heart, which declarer won with the ace. When declarer ran his long dia monds, west had to keep at least three clubs, or when declarer finessed the aueen and cashed the ace, the King would drop. Also, east had to keep two hearts, or when declarer cashed the king, the queen would drop. Thus when the queen of clubs was successfully finessed, west had kept two clubs and two spades, and east four hearts. When declarer cashed the ace of hearts, west had to throw a spade. Declarer then led a low spade to the ace, cashed the ace of clubs, and the nine of spades was the 13th trick. This type of play is known as
N dealer, love all.
Scouts’ strength increase from 443 to 486, contrary to a national downward trend. County Scout lead ers put the district’s suc cess down to the fact that Clitheroe has the highest leader-Scout ratio in East Lancashire, but it is also due to the leaders’ hard work, said district presi dent John Clayton. The AGM, held in the
Ribble Valley Council chamber, started with a brisk half-hour business
