\ DISGRUNTLED stall holders at Clitheroe’s monthly craft market are


thi eatening to quit the town unless the borough council shows more interest. Since the Thursday


craft markets started four years ago, the stall holders have battled against poor publicity and poor market­ ing from the Kibble Valley Council and some have now come to the end of their tether. “ People are travelling

DELLOW —


BUTTERWORTH St M a r t in ’ s C o l le g e Chapel, Lancaster, was the setting for the wed­ ding of Mr S. Dellow and Miss C. Butterworth. Tile bride is the eldest


daughter of Mr and Mrs C. Butterworth, of Kirkdnle Road, Langlio. The bridegroom is the


only sou of Mr and Mrs P. Dellow, of Gorsehill Road,


Wallasey. Tile bride, given away


by her father, wore a- white gown with puffed sleeves and a bow at the back. It featured a close fitting bodice with a full skirt. She carried a lemon bouquet of fresh seasonal blooms. Bridesmaid Miss Helen


Butterworth, the bride’s sister, wore a plain sleeve­ less dress in lemon and carried a bouquet match­


ing the bride’s. Best mail was Mr M.


Cnokson. A reception was held at


the I'Jms Hotel, Bare. The couple are to l iv e in Lancaster.

same. The borough council is not doing enough to publicise the event, which means that the public do not attend. On top of this, the signposting is also poor and tourists coming to the town just do not know where the market is. However, Mr Taylor


stresses that the council has striven to improve this situation and a total of 20 new signs have been put up around the town and on various approach roads to entice people. The council lias also placed advertise­ ments in various publica­ tions and magazines. Potter Ann Jones, of


Burnley, said that it might be an advantage to hold tile market more often. Travelling all the way


from Fleetwood, Eillen Barrett has been taking part in the markets for two years, but is disap­ pointed at the way they are going. “ I think I will leave it for next year, as the turnout is always dis­ appointing," she said. Preston man Mr Brian


Maxwell thinks a change of venue could he the answer, saying that the


present location is tucked away and too many people come to the town and leave without even know­ ing it is there.


Bolton-by-Bowland pot­


ter Ann Askew feels that the people of Clitheroe do not even know the craft market is there. She sug­ gests that a signpost on the A59 would be a boost. With just one craft mar­


ket left before the winter break, Mr T a y lo r has stressed that the council is giving it support and will spend time formulating fresh ideas to present to the traders before next year. “Tile long-term future of


any specialist market in the town is the concern of the borough council,” he added. The final market of the


season is b e in g held towards the end of this month and the public and tourists alike are welcome to attend. Starting at 9 a.m., it runs until <


1 p.m.,


boasting a whole host of crafts, from pottery and wooden items to pictures and hand-knitted jumpers.


Community charges


still owing


OVER half the community charges have still not been paid by Kibble Valley resi­ dents to the boro ugh council.


The gross amount due is


over £14m., but nearly £8m. has still to be col­ lected by the council. This figure includes the amount outstanding by those pay­ ing monthly by direct debit.


Following the issuing of


7,000 reminders in July, a fu r th e r 3,000 second reminders wore issued in August to those charge payers who had not paid at least one instalment. Dis­ cussions are taking place with tile magistrates’ clerk and others so that sum­ monses can be issued.


At the meeting of the


borough’s Finance and General Purposes Com­ m i t te e , Conn. James McGliie (Clitheroe) asked iiow tlie figures compared


to the collection of rates last year.


_ Mr Johii_ Hunt, chief financial officer, said that about -17% of the commu­ nity charge had been col­ lected, compared to 55% of the rates for the same period in H)S!).

School game ends in court for teenagers


AN end of term “ruffle” that got out of hand at a Ribble Valley school resulted in two teen­


agers appearing before Clitheroe Juvenile Panel. After pleading guilty to


assault occasioning actual bodily harm, the school leavers were both given conditional discharges for 12 months and were eaeli o rd e r e d to p ay £60 damages and £30 costs. Prosecuting, Mr David


Burrows Sutcliffe told the court that the younger of the defendants had taken hold of a fellow pupil on the school tennis courts. The elder defendant came o v e r and punched the fourth-year pupil in the face three times with his fist.


He sustained a bloody


nose and was taken to the local health centre. Representing the youn­


ger defendant, Mr John Houldsworlh told the court that at the end of the term, at this particular school, the fourth years go to one end of the yard and taunt the fifth years to chase them. Tlie whole episode was a game that g o t out o f hand. The defendant was chasing the fourth years at their invi­ tation and grabbed hold of the aggrieved. W h i le the y ou n g e r


defendant held him, the older defendant thumped the fourth-year pupil in the face, hut, pointed out Mr H ou ld sw o rth , the younger defendant let him go straight away and apo­ logised to the court for the incident. In mitigation for the


older defendant, Mr Geof­ frey Islierwood said that it had been the last day of school and pupils had


engaged in what was called a “ ruffle." What started as a game got out of hand and unfortunately a punch was thrown and the aggrieved got a bloody nose. This was a one-off inci­


dent which occurred when the pupils were “ on : high.” B e fo re passing sen


ten ce , the court was adjourned and then recon­ vened as an adult court, as the elder of the defendants had become 17 two days before tile trial.

Retired textile manufacturer


A RE1IRED Clitheroe textile manufacturer, known to many of the


older generation in the town, has died in Kendal only a few weeks beiore his 90th birthday.


Mr Walter Turner was a


member o f one o f the town's leading tex ti le families which built up the former Sun Street Mill


from small beginnings to a large weaving operation. B u r n 1o y - b o r n M r


Turner moved to Clitheroe ill 1910 and at tended Clitheroe Royal Grammar School until 191-1, when he


joined his father, tlie late Mr Frank Turner, at the mill. In 1918 lie became a salesman for the firm and sales director in 1924. When the family busi­


ness was taken over by the William Pickles Group in 1949, he was appointed managing director and remained there for 10 years, until tlie mill closed down under the Govern­ ment’s cotton weaving redundancy scheme, which heralded the end of the line for many long-estab­ lished firms throughout Lancashire. It was a particularly sad


time for Mr Turner, who had helped his father to build up the business. “He used to speak of arriving in Clitheroe on a horse- drawn waggonette con­ ta in in g th e fam i ly ’ s belongings,” said his only son, Ronald. “His father


founded Sun Street Mill and the whole fami lv worked together in build­ ing up the business.” In 1960, Mr Turner,


who had lived in Pimlico Road since 1925, moved to Clifton, near Preston, and remained there until 1974. He then went to live in the Kendal area, where he remained until his death, on August 19th. He would have been 90 last Friday. During his years in


Clitheroe he was an active member o f the former


Congregational Church, now the United Reformed Church. His service to the


church totalled 40 years and he was a deacon, trea­


surer and choir member. For many years he played billiards and snooker in the Sunday School league. His wife, Gladys, died in


1969, after 44 years of married life.


When Mr Turner moved to the Kendal area, he


joined his two sisters, Clara and A l ic e , and brother Tom. Clara had worked as company‘secre­ tary at Sun Street Mill, Alice had been headmis­ tress at Ribblesdale School and Tom had worked at W e 11 g a t e M o t o r s , Clitheroe. Mr Turner's son and


daughter-in-law, Barbara, now l iv e in K en d a l , although they spent many years in the south of England a fte r leaving Clitheroe. Ronald also worked at


Sun Street'Mill for a time and was later employed by Marks and Spencer. “ Mr Turner wi l l be


remembered as a true gen­ tleman, who had quiet ways and a v e ry fair- minded attitude to his employees and business c o n t a c t s , ” sa id his daughter-in-law. The funeral was held at


St Mary’s Church, Crostli- waite, near Kendal.


The class 8, 4-6-2 Pacific


locomotive will be making its first-ever run on the Settle to Carlisle railway on Sunday, September 23rd.

worth dynamometer car will be attached. The train formation of


some 15 vehicles will then leave Blackburn and head towards Settle and Car­ lisle, passing over Wlialley Arches and through Clitli- oroe oil its memorable


journey. The, impressive locomo­

Devoted life to working for


Christie cancer


A WOMAN who was a tireless worker for Christie cancer, devoting much of her life to the cause, has died at the age of 91.


For more than 40 years,


Mrs Isabel Dawson, for­ m e r ly o f C la r em o n t Avenue, Clitheroe, and


later of Wiswell, was an inspiration to others in leading fund-raising work by the Clitheroe commit­ tee of the Christie Cancer and Holt Radium Institute Women’s Trust Fund. During her years as


chairman, over £50,000 was raised for the Christie Hospital at Manchester and three years ago she was p resented to the Duchess o f Kent, who thanked her for her efforts and expressed congratula­ tions to Clitheroe and area fo r i ts m a g n i f ic e n t contribution. Mrs Dawson will be


remembered ill particular for the afternoon teas and bring-and-buy sales, held at the Starkie Arms Hotel, which w e re fo r many years a firm fixture on the town’s social calendar, attracting visitors from all over the area. When Mrs Dawson first


came to Clitheroe, her late husband Fred was in busi­ ness as a grocer in Market Place. It was in 1945 that Mrs


Dawson formed the local committee to raise funds to help relieve the suf­ fering of cancer patients. Her long service as chair­ man was marked, on her retirement, by the presen­ tation o f a gold brooch from the committee at a special luncheon held in her honour. H e r y ou th fu l looks


belied her age and even when in her eighties she was always busy making handicrafts o f different kinds to sell on the stalls. Three years ago she was


th e ru n n e r -u p in an “ Advertiser and Times” Suiier Senior Citizen con­ test, having been nomin­ ated by no few er than seven people for her char­ ity work. She died in her home


town of Halifax, where she retired to live three years ago, to be near her rela­ tives. The funeral will be


held at Halifax Parish Church next Tuesday, at 10-45 a.m. Donations in Mrs Daw­


son’s memory, in aid of Christie Hospital Women’s Trust Fund, are being accepted by the treasurer of the local committee, Mrs Myra Clegg, of Near Steading, Pendleton Road, Wiswell, near Wlialley.

A defensive error on this deal


allowed north to make his opti­ mistic contract of four hearts. The two of clubs was led and north expected to lose two club tricks, one spade trick, probably one heart trick (unless the trumps were very favourably placed) and possibly a diamond trick. H ow e v e r , the prospects


improved when west played the ace of clubs on the ojHming lead. Declarer took the club return on the table, played king, then ace of diamonds and ruffed a dia­ mond. Then he went hack to his own hand with the king of clubs ami ruffed a second diamond with the nine of hearts. When this held, he was safelv home, conceding only one spade trick, one heart trick and the ace of clubs.


on the first lead of clubs. His partner's lead of the two must he from a suit backed by an hon­ our. I f the honour is the king, it is obviously correct for west to play the jack. I f the honour is tin* 10, the jack is still the best card to play, allowing north’s king to make. Now, wnen clubs are led again, the queen is trapped between east’s 10 and west’s ace and nine. Monday’s winners were: NS

Mr (lamer and Mr Canstick, Mrs Patterson and Mr Webster; EW Mr Bushby and Mr Singer, Mrs Pedderand Mrs Bussell. Winners on Thursday: NS Mr

Dog fouling concern


FE AR S that an area of land at tlie rear of a Clith­ eroe residential dev el­ opment was in danger of becoming a “dog loo’’ were


e x p r e s s e d b y tow n councillors. Coun. Barrie Parker


said residents of Fairfield Drivp, Clitheroe, were concerned that the laiid, which is used by local foot­ ball teams, was being regularly used as an exer­ cise area for dogs.
