COUPLE’S SILVER TREAT FOR THE CHILDREN'S HOSPICE
A SILVER treat awaited a local charity after a West Bradford couple decided to throw a 25th wedding anniversary party — with a “bring no presents” request
attached to the invitations! Instead, silver wedding couple William and
Marilyn Wood, of Croft Cottage, West Bradford, asked guests i f they would donate a little something to the Dcrian House Children’s
Hospice Appeal. And at the end of their anniversary disco at
the Moorcock Inn, Waddington, a handsome total of £320 was raised. “ It was a wonderful gesture and came out of the blue,” said MrJohn Clayton, Ribble Vnllcy
chairman for the appeal, which is aiming to
build a much-needed hospice at Euxton, near Chorley, for terminally and chronically ill children.
Mrs Wood, a mother of two grown-up
children, who runs the village newsagent’s and sub-post office, said: “We realise what parents ;
with seriously ill children must be going through, so we thought Derian House would be a very worthwhile cause to supprt.” Mrs Wood and her husband, who works for
North West Water, have lived in West Bradford since they first married. Their chidren, Nigel (24) and Jackie (20), were among the 100 partygoers who donated to the appeal.

train service back on track
HOPES of a daily rail service being brought back to Clitheroe — which were recently “de railed” by a financial snarl-up — have been put back on track.
The good news came at
Blackburn Borough Coun cil’s meeting, when the chamber voted to back the scheme and provide vital funding. Blackburn Borough
Council's financial muscle will come in the form of a contribution of up to 10% of any deficit suffered by the service, up to a maxi mum figure of £10,000 a year,

TH E R E is no such thing as a clean car — it’s as simple as that. All cars contribute to environ mental problems, some of which, like smog and acid rain, have now
reached unacceptable levels. In areas such as the Kibble Valley,
having a car is essential. Not only is public transport sometimes uncomfort able and unreliable, but having a car confers independence — a must for any rural dweller. It means being able to go where you want, when you want — without being late, getting wet or hav ing to carry bags of heavy shopping and children. Long gone are the days when a trip
to London from the Ribble Valley was a tedious affair involving an overnight stay cn route, but here, unfortunately, are' the days when our buildings are eroding, oiir trees turning black and our children suffocating. The worst problem is that of acid
rain — caused substantially by vehicle emissions — which is posing an appall ing threat to our woodlands, wildlife,
rivers and buildings.- Acid rain is a potent “chemical soup”
caused by the interaction of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen with water vapour. Its worst effects can be seen in Czcchoslavakia, where whole forests of trees have been raised to the ground and buildings blackened beyond
recognition. Researchers have also discovered
that exhaust emissions are responsible for causing asthma in up to one-fifth of tlie population, while it has long been known that car exhausts release carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen — which can cause drowsiness and
headaches — and lead — which has been linked with incidences of brain damage in children. Such is the concern regarding vehicle
exhaust emissions that the race is now on by manufacturers to find a market able solution to the problem. The biggest breakthrough so far is
the “ catalytic converter,” a honey- comb-styie filter which is fitted in the exhaust pipe. Catalytic converters are coated with precious metals which reduce the potency of dangerous chem icals as they pass through.
“How Green is Our Valley?” chal
lenged Clitheroe’s leading car dealers with these facts and discovered that Vauxhall and Honda now fit catalytic converters to all new cars, while Peu geot and Ford fit catalytic converters to tlie majority of new cars and Rover
to all new models. Rover, who say they are fully com
mitted to environmental engineering, are also introducing the innovative “lean burn” engine to their new ranges. Obviously we’re not suggesting you
rush out and buy a new car, but if you are thinking of doing so, then the “greener” the car the better! Another way of helping the environ
ment is by running your ear on unleaded petrol. Most cars under six years old can be converted to run on unleaded petrol for as little as £10 and your local garage will be more than willing to advise you. Not only that, lead-free petrol is
cheaper than ordinary four-star, so you’ ll soon recoup your money and with further price cuts promised, you may end up with a healthier bank balance, as well as healthier lungs!

Surprises all round
SURPRISES were a fea ture of the last Clitheroe Speakers' Club meeting. Margaret Wilkinson’s
speech, “A change of sce nery,” was about exten sive global travels and struck a chord with mem bers until the twist in the tale — her “eye-witness” accounts were, in fact, the products of the many musicals and operas she had seen. A n o th e r su rp r is e

Lessons which take the fear out of learning to swim
A SERIES of swimming courses, which have already transformed people with a fear of water into willing and experienced swimmers, have restarted at Ribblesdale Pool, Clitheroe, and Stonyhurst College.
The courses are run by
the Ribblesdale Masters’ Swim Club which, despite its name, is not a group of experts but ranges from first-time swimmers to people who regularly swim 80 lengths at a time, said secretary Pat Ellacott.
The 10-week courses.
costing £30, began at the beginning of the month and are for beginners and improvers.
Among those taking
part, says Mrs Ellacott, are people who have had a fear of water since an e a r ly a g e , pe rh ap s through having been thrown in literally at the deep end, or who have had other bad experiences in water.
Some participants are
people who feel they need to learn to swim to keep up with their children or to enjoy a forthcoming holiday.
Among those who have
benefited are Mrs Jean Wilkinson and Mr Stuart Chambers.
