An industrial heavyweight drops in
SHAWBILIDGE came to a standstill when a
massive :i8-tonnc crane paid a special visit to a Clitheroc factory.
The crime, which
travelled nil the way from Cheshire, was used to hoist and install a brand new three-tonne tank at the factory, owned by Rcctella International.
The tricky operation
meant that part o f the building’s roof had to be removed, but the whole operation went smoothly. The container will hold liciuid flamcoat, a special substance which is impregnated on barbecue charcoal.
In the past, Rcctella
had to buy flamcoat in slab form and then convert it into li(|uid. Now the firm will be able to store 25 tonnes o f the substance in the new tank and so save money in the long run.
During the hot
summer, there was a marked increase in the sale o f portable barbecues and the company have enjoyed a fruitful six months.
"Barbecues arc now
being accepted in this country and more and more people are eating outside,” said a company spokesman.

heard that on his way to the police station, Jackson (20), of Lowergate, strug gled with the arresting officer and both fell to the ground. In mitigation, Mr John
Houldsworth said that Jackson bad been making his wav home when his g i r l f r ie n d and o th e r friends, with whom Jack- son bad been out that evening, persuaded him to go to a nightclub. They then decided to get a taxi. "He bad had a little bit
to drink and was probably a little over-excited,” said Mr Houldsworth. Jackson, who pleaded
guilty to using threaten ing, abusive or insulting words and behaviour, was fined £1111) and ordered to pay £20 costs.
Collision with bus leads to £200 finesi
A COLLISION with a bus led to the manager o f Eaves Hall Country Club, West Bradford, appearing b e f o r e C 1i t h e r o e magistrates. The court heard that a
single decker bus was travelling from Wadding- toil to Grindleton when a Rover saloon, driven by David Ramsden Pollard,
pulled out of the Clitheroe Road junction and collided with it. In mitigation, Mr Bill
Greenwood said that it was a very bad junction and that his client thought be had sufficient room to pull out, but bad not rea lised there was no way that the bus, which had right of way, could stay on
its own side of the narrow road.
"Th ere was quite an
altercation between Mr P o l la rd and th e bus driver,” said Mr Green wood. “He misunderstood the law and did not think
that lie bad to report the accident if no-one had been injured.”
Pollard (54), o f The
Lodge, Eaves Hall Coun try Club, pleaded guilty to two offences. He was fined £100 and had his licence endorsed with eight pen alty points for failing to report an accident and £100 for driving without due care and attention. Pollard was also ordered to pay £20 costs.

as a “ safety audit,” is being financed by the Rib ble Valley Council and will set out playground policy for the 11190s. It involves all borough and parish- owned children’s play grounds and ah aspects of the sites, from safety to the actual play value of the equipment. The audit on the amount
of money that will have to be spent on the areas to bring them into line with EC safety standards will be available in October.
The borough council
officer working on the sur vey, Mr Graham Jagger, reported on the prepara tions now in band. He [jointed out that the audit had been approved by the Recreation and Leisure Committee, following a v e r y “ w o r t h w h i l e " seminar on playgrounds arranged by the borough council.
The National Playing Fields Association would
conduct the inspection between mid and late Sep
tember on behalf of the council and although the exercise had been named a “safety audit,” every con ceivable issue in respect of playgrounds would be taken into account.
The audit would include

full report on the type of improvements and the costs involved for both parish councils and the borough was expected b etwe en mid and late October. Parish Councils’ Liaison
Committee chairman Mr Eric Edmondson (Wad d in g ton ) said: " I t is obviously a great step forward.” Other parish councillors

Losing home ‘a terrible tragedy’
TH E loss o f Brainier Meade Nursing Home at Whalley was described as a te r r ib le tra g ed y by Clitheroe Town Council’s deputy Mayor Conn. Bar rie Parker. Addressing colleagues
at the town council meet ing, he expressed stillness at the Secretary of State's decision. “ It’s a terrible tragedy

appreciation of the work that had been done in a bid to keep the home open “by many, many people,” and added particular thanks to the Ribble Valley Mayor, who is a member of the town council, Conn. Howel Jones.

Good question, and the answer is a Swedish company called Lapidus. If you are a businessman who travels about a lot by car or train or plane, and you wear Lapidus clothes, you will arrive at your appointment in pristine condition, at least your clothes will, because they don't crease. You can put them in a washer, or your hotel bath, hang them up and, lo and behold, next morning they will be dry as a bone, requiring no pressing and ready to wear again.

No, they are not, because the yarns are manufactured solely by Lapidus themselves in a verhea1 operation, i.e. they make all the yarns, have them dyed, make all the fabrics, and, finally, all the clothes in their own factories in Sweden,Italy and Portugal. Unless you have worn or seen Lapidus
