Cubs and Scouts rally for Romania A wildlife safari for


Their efforts raise £200


ALMOST £200 was raised for the Blue Peter Romanian Appeal by St Paul’s Cubs and Scouts when they held a grand bric-a-brac stall outside a Clitheroe supermarket. Selling a variety of


household items at their pitch near the entrance to Booth’s, the young fund-raisers were run off their feet, but coped admirably. The group meets once


a week at St Paul’s Church Hall, Low Moor, and members were pleased at the success of their first Blue Peter fund-raising


event. Pictured are


stallholders with customers.

EVERYONE WELCOME


nity charge payers in tlie Ribble Valley have forked out hundreds of thousands of pounds in the last few years on new council offices and a new Town Hall which have meeting rooms available. Why can’t these be used for training: Your report in last


week’s “ Advertiser and Times" states that Coun. Mrs Maw said it was important to get away from one’s immediate sur­ roundings to concentrate. Perhaps, after the May elections, she may, along with others, be far, far away from our council offices for a long, long


time.

I am amazed by irresponsible


L animal owners


I AM writing to express my horror and disgust concerning the state o f the Whalley footpaths, especially the small footpath between Whalley Church and Whalley School, which is more often than not littered with dog excrement.


Taking the view that


this footpath is the main thoroughfare of small chil- dren aged four and upwards, who are con­ stantly walking through this hazard, I can only feci amazed that the owners of


these animals do not feel some sense of respon­ sibility.


IT they plead ignorance


to the fa c ts , let me enlighten them. Dogs


spread disease, tlie most serious and relevant to children being toxocara.


This is a disease of round­ worm infestation passed to humans from the faeces of umvormed dogs. Tlie small larval worms can spread to lungs, liver, kidney, brain and eyes causing irrepara­ ble damage; at present there is no effective treat­ ment. Small children arc more at risk due to their lowered resistance ami g r e a t e r e li a n c e o f exposure.


Here we have tlie per­ fect situation for the


spread of disease, a public footpatli outside the school consistently being fouled by dogs. Uogs wandering oil their own are more likely to lie the very dogs whose owners iail to worm them. The less responsible owners care not where their dogs foul, providing it is not within their own vicinity.


unpleasant environmental aspect of dog faeces in punlic places and the nui­ sance of it underfoot, could we perhaps consider the children exposed daily to this hazard? Have these dog owners ever heal'd ol “ poop scoops," or, per­ haps, a "dog loo” in their

gardens. This is a request to


those concerned to take responsibility for their animals and above all to consider others.

Creche instead of shops


REGARDING Clitheroe Auction Mart site 1 won­ der if when spending our money, the council cvci considers what the people who are actually paying


the bill want or need. I assume not more shops, i think that il a large pai t


of this development was made into a creche and a mil - scry it would he of value to Clitheroe families and


would create a number of jobs. Whether it was run by the council or a private

the trainees to stay the night when Gibbon Bridge is so close to Clitheroe? And, if they did have to stay overnight, was it necessary for the poll tax payer to foot a £1S4 bill for drinks and cigars? Was that an essential element of the training?


It saddens me to note I


from your report that several councillors seemed unconcerned by this kind of spending. Would know­ ledge of it ever have come to light but for the dili­ gence of one councillor? It j lias been reported that the I expenditure was within the training budget. Per­ haps tlie budget was too slack, but. in any case, surely both councillors and officials have a duty to ensure that we geL the very best value for our | money. It is time for more careful and critical approach to what is done and how the public s | money is spent.

The dress was divided into six long panels, with the front fin- islied in a Chinese brocade of gold and white, the outer front panels ill white Nepalese silk and the side panels in white 1 ilietan brocade.


She wore an Indian sari


of white and gold lace and carried a bookmark with lilies and freesia sewn on


to it. She was attended by


Patricia Curran, who flew from Nepal for the wed­ ding, and Susan Bennett, the bride’s cousin.
