WHEN former Clith­ eroe doctor Cyril Royle was told by a patient “I’m all ageet wi a peff” it ’s little wonder he didn’t know


what to prescribe! Dr Royle celebrated his


90th birthday this week and recounted seve ral amusing anecdotes of his years as a newcomer to the Ribble Valley. He came to the area


from Manchester in 1938 and admits to grappling with the Ribble Valley dialect, which was much stronger in those days. The above, by the way, means “I ’ve got a cough!” Dr Royle said: “During


th e w a r th e r e w e re several POWs in the area, some of them Italian. I recall a consultation with one when I realised, 10 minutes into the conversa­ tion, that neither knew what the other was talking about. I prescribed him a tonic and told him to come back with an interpreter!” Of the war years, Dr


Royle.also remembers the struggle of too few doctors and too many evacuees. He said: “Many of the


doctors were called up, leaving just one or two of


D r R o y l e i s a r e a l t o n i c


by Theresa Robson


us to care for the regular patients, as well as the evacuees. I t was a tre ­ mendous struggle.”


One of Dr Royle’s more


poignant memories was of attending a baby who was suffering from pneumonia. It was winter and the child lived on a farm in the out­ lying area of Bowland. He said: “I t was snow­


ing and there were drifts ev e ryw h e re . I had to abandon my car and con­ tinue by foot. Suddenly I stepped into a pit and was covered in snow up to my chest. “I could see the lights of


the farmhouse in the dis­ tance and was so cold and disoriented I know what people mean when they


find themselves in such conditions and feel they can’t carry on.” , Happily, Dr Royle made


it to the farmhouse and treated the sick infant, who later recovered. A f it and healthy Dr


Royle celebrated his birth- day w ith fam i ly and friends on Monday. He puts his healthy disposi­ tion down to having “a good wife!” During the celebration


there was a surprise visit from Mr Stephen Dugdale, president of Clitheroe Rotary Club, who pre­ sented Dr Royle with a print of Castle S t re e t , Clitheroe, on behalf of the organisation. Dr Royle has been a m emb er o f C l i th e ro e

I AM a very happy and fortunate man as so much happiness and pleasure come to me through my writ­ ing. People regularly shake me by the hand, “glad to meet you at last,” because of words I have written, inspired) I believe, by the Holy Spirit. One after another will remind me of this message


or that, just supplying their groat need at the time. It is a great joy to me to realise how I have been led in this way to help so many people. There must be many more whom I have never met who, in their


turn, would testify to the blessing my efforts at writ­


ing in the newspapers have brought them. When my messages are published simultaneously


with the other weekly newspaper to whicli I sub­ scribe, I am given to understand that I must have over 100,000 readers that week. In this way I reach far more people in one week than in all my GO-odd years of preaching to small numbers of hearers. Looking so often at empty (lews, I am heartened to


know that through the weekly printed page I have the largest congregation in the area. It humbles me to have this regular task and opportuity. What a responsibility! Yet how few words of adverse criti- cism come my way, compared with those of thankful appreciation. The Lord helps me a great deal as thoughts flood into my mind and my pen flows over the surface of my notebook to convoy my “Thus saith


the Lord” messages each week. I never have a deadline to meet as I am always so


far in front. Editors never lack my "copy,” as I supply them with months of pieces at a time. If inspiration occasionally appeal's to flag, I wonder if I could possi­ bly be "written up,” but in good time I am given messages in my mind to pass on to seeking souls. What a joy it is to pass on great truths that are given


to me for that purpose. The lack of downright opposition makes me wonder . • , , PECORATOR _


if my words are shaking anybody, but the Loyd guides my thinking to avoid much that might cause controversy. He leads me to write ahout what we all can rejoice in and agree about. Of course, we have different opinions at times. This is only natural, as we are different individuals and we all have a right to express our own convictions. I appreciate the help that comes to me through the


fellow Christians in this area. Help comes to me regularly, so thank you for your prayers and may I long write something worthy .of reading, to help peo-

fo r le cture


A MAN with a reputation for his superb slide lec­


tu re s has a date with Clitheroe people a week on


Monday. John Shaw, of Clayton-


le-Moors, is to give a lec­ ture entitled “On foot in the Western Highlands” on November 18th at Clitheroe Library, at 7-30


p.m. The speaker has been


walking and travelling in his spare time in various parts of the world since 1959 and with the use of a camera has brought his travels to screen to delight audiences time and again. District librarian Miss


Barbara Snell says Mr Shaw’s talk is certain to provide a “ wonderful evening”- for his audience.


Piano recital at library


PIANIST Peter Lawson will be holding a lunchtime r e c i t a l a t C l i th e ro e L i b r a r y t o d a y a t


■ 12.45 p.m. In the past, Peter has


performed with the Halle Orchestra, Royal Liver­ pool Philharmonic Orches­ tra, London Mozart Play­ ers, London Sinfonietta and all the BBC regional o r ch e s tra s , as well as recording several highly successful albums. His recital at the library


today will include works by Haydn, Glinka and


Mussorgsky.


Rotary Club for 33 years and was president of the club in 1971. Mr Dugdale said: “Dr


Royle is in all meanings of the words a ‘gentle man,’ who cared for the people of this community during two world wars and a depression. “His compassion and


love for the people of this area is second to none and everything he tackles is


.done with enthusiasm and dedication. He is an exam­ ple to us all.” Dr R oy le (p ic tu red


above with Mr Dugdale and fellow Rotarians) lives in Kirkmoor Road with his wife, Monica.


l i


manager for South East A s ia . A f te r l iv in g in England for a while, the couple spent two years in Texas, and then an eight- year spell back in Aust­ ralia while managing a club, before returning to the UK to run a two-bar pub in London for two


years. B u t London was no


place for a growing family, said Mr Mason, who has five daughters and a son. So he and his wife, Peggy, started looking for a pub near their married daugh­ ter in Preston and Peggy’s relatives in Yorkshire. “When we came over


the hill and saw Sabden it was ju s t one of those dream places to be,” said Mr Mason. “We were lucky Whitbread offered


us the pub.” The couple plan to rein­


troduce bar-snacks “once w e ’ v e h ad t im e to unpack!” said Mr Mason.


Education chief in at sharp end


THE proof of the pudding is in the eating for Clith- erue’s Mr Eric Braccwell when it comes to adult education.


For the former councillor, who has just been re-e­ . . .


lected chairman of the Ribble Valley, Hyndburn and Rossemiale Adult Education Advisory Committee, believes in sampling the product — as a student. Last year he enrolled for a course in musical appre­


ciation at Ribblesdale and this year he joined the relax­ ation classes at Whalley.


“I believe in seeing adult education from the inside, .


said Mr Bracewell, who is the Ribble Valley represen­ tative on the advisory committee. “We tour education centres through our advisory role, but it is always helpful to have grass-roots experience as well.
