WEALTH OF TALENT ONDISPLAY


IF you appreciate artistic skill and fine craftsman­ ship, your judgement is sought at Whalley Library. Since February 4th, members of the public have been invited to


decide for themselves which work in an exhibition of arts and


crafts is the creme de la creme and to cast their votes accordingly. Voting closes on Saturday, when the results will be totted up and two win­


ners will be revealed, one from the excellent entry of 50 or so paintings and


one from the crafts section. Although the number of craft entries was disappointingly low compared


with last year, the 20 items were up to the usual high standard of


workmanship. The contest is being run in conjunction with the “Clithcroc Advertiser and


Times.” Shown here are just a handful of the superb variety of.picces on show —


but, don’t forget, the winning choice is yours. Photographs taken by John Barry A BASKETFUL of decorated eggs
