Bookshop venture which put town on the map


“THE fountain and the cistern” is how a Collins book salesman once described the two remarkable ladies who founded Clitheroe’s Kaydee Bookshop back in 1946 — and he hit the nail on the head.


“I was the fountain, drawback for our new gross of the new title, headstrong and always


ready to jump into a new venture,” said the still lively Mrs Kathleen Bul- cock, the “Kay” part of the duo, after her Christian initial. The “Dee’ half and her near neighbour in- Clitheroe’s Parson Lane, Miss Doris Brockley, was the “cistern” — quieter, thoughtful and with a keen. business brain. They had met before the


second world war, but a bookshop in Clitheroe became th e i r shared dream when they found themselves doing war ser­ vice together at the Bris­ tol Aircraft Company in Clayton-le-Moors. Said Kathleen, a former

CHRISTIANS are people who know themselves to be called into the service of Christ. They are the kind


of folk St Paul used to call saints. He used the Greek word “hagios,” translated in the Bible as


saints. We are apt to say that we are no saints because the


word suggests a very holy person and we know our­ selves to be sinners. I understand “hagios” describes a person devoted to the service of God. This implies someone separated or set apart from the ordinary run of persons in order to specially belong to God. Such persons are not noted because of their withdrawal from ordinary life and activity, but by their actions and reactions in life’s situations, being of such a qual­ ity and character as to distinguish them as being the people of God. , Stained glass window saints are apt to give us the


wrong impression. St Peter, for example, would be the first to disclaim such representations of him. If he came and sat beside you in church you would possibly note a distinct smell of fish. Looking into his face you would not associate it with the features depicted in stained glass windows. When a little lad was asked to describe what a saint
