Western theme


THE Western theme appears to have taken over the musical societies in the Ribble Valley this year, for hot on the heels of Clitheroe Par­ ish Church Operatic Society’s “Oklahoma” comes “Calamity Jane” — a musical which firmly established Doris Day in the hearts of the cinema-going public in the 1950s.


some years ago a scheme was established in Billing- ton and Langho which enabled residents there to obtain a £5 token each year to help with the cost


of bus travel. However, the token


scheme was then spread throughout the Ribhle Valley, even into areas which already had good services and amenities. Mrs Scahiil said that the
