offence, magistrates were told. .................


They were arrested on den in nearby public toi- on


lets, where one of the


youths had gone in an attempt to run away from the police. John Paul Thomas (18),


of Hackney Avenue, New­ ton Heath, was placed on probation for two years, with the condition that he participates in 60 hours of activities arranged by the probation service, after he admitted four shoplifting offences at various prem­ ises on October 1st and another on July 21st at John Hanson’s shop in Church Street. Harry Frere (19), of


Staplehurst Road, Newton Heath, was also placed on probation for two years with the same condition, after admitting four sho­ plifting offences in Clith­ eroe on October 1st and two other offences in Man­ chester of shoplifting and carrying an offensive weapon. They were both ordered


to pay £35 costs. The court heard that


Thomas had stolen six silk shirts and five T-shirts from the Church Street shop with two other youths, who had been dealt with at a previous hearing. He returned to Clitheroe with his friend, Frere, and while they

eighth year, is on Sunday, at C l ith e ro e Parish Church, commencing at 2- 30 p.m. Items included in the programme are “The Holy Birth,” a collection of popular carols by Herbert Sumsion, and Ho ls t’s “Christmas Day.” The concert, which will

were waiting for Thomas’s a f t e r n o o n c o u r t appearance the two went shoplifting. Mr David Parkinson,


representing the youths, told the court that they were receiving help for drug problems. They lived in an area of Manchester where drugs were readily available and the thefts were related to their need to buy drugs. The magistrates told the


youths, who had previous convictions, that they had seriously considered custo­ dial sentences, but had taken into account the fact that they had already been in custody for 11 weeks.

CHRISTMAS celebrations started early for the Ribble Valley Licensed Victuallers’ Association, when they held their annual banquet at Mytton Fold Farm, Langho. A record number of 167 diners enjoyed a four-course meal and


there was live entertainment from the Les Allen Band, which provided a selection of favourites. As a special treat preceding the dinner, John Stephenson and

Sons presented a champagne reception. Ignoring the traditional corkscrew routine, the bottle tops were prised off with a sabre. Those present included the LVA’s president, Mr Graham Miller, and past president Mr Paul Winter. Toastmaster for the eve­


ning was Mr Peter Wrathall. Mr Tony Brown, chairman of the LVA, said: “The night was a

Langho pub


AFTER visiting a Langho public house, two men made off with two flower urns from outside the front porch and sold them at a car boot sale, Clith­ eroe magistrates were told.


A passer-by saw the


urns being loaded into a Mini outside the Petre Arms, Longsight Road, and told licensee Mr David Tomlinson, said prosecu­ tor Mrs Margaret Duck­ worth. Police traced the owner of the car, Michael Patrick Gorton, to an address in Blackburn.


Gorton (29), of Hancock


S t r e e t , Blackburn pleaded guilty to stealing the urns. He was given conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £20 compensation and £35 costs.


The court heard that the


SANTA paid a special v is it to Clitheroe to admire the town’s Christmas lights and meet children and adults. He was present at the big “ switch-on” carried out this year by


Ribble Valley Mayor and Mayoress Coun. John Travis and his wife, Elizabeth, and Mr Howard Blackburn, a local man who won the support of all he met during his fight against cancer this year and then went on to raise thousands of pounds for research.


Mr Blackburn was somewhat embarrassed by our “miracle


man” tag last week and feels that the real miracle man is the doctor who treated him. In fact, he is one of many local adults and children who have benefited from the tremendous skill arid care


exercised by surgeons and s ta f f at Christie’s Hospital, Manchester. He went on to orgariisc a sponsored squash tournament and


raise more than £4,000 for the Imperial Cancer Research Fund. Town Crier Mr Roland Hailwood was present at the switching


on of the lights, to declare Christmas in Clitheroe in his own inimitable way, and as the displays were bathed in light, Santa had a word with some of the many children who gathered to


watch. The lights were erected, using a special Norweb vehicle, by


contractors in the town, Clitheroe and District Chamber of Trade rnembers and the' Ribble Valley Council.,


-


other man involved in the theft had not been traced.


Mr Steven Barker


representing Gorton, said that his client’s companion had loaded the urns into the car and, at first, his client had objected to tak­ ing them, but succumbed to temptation. The urns had been sold for £8 and Gorton had received half the proceeds.... .


,


ment said that compulsory redundancies were not seen as an option at this


stage. Financial services man­


ager Mr Marshal Scott said the biggest element of council spending was pay, noting that the council ini­ tially anticipated a 3% spending assessment increase when the Govern­ ment was discussing similar public sector pay


rise. When guidelines came


out advocating a 1% to 1.5% pay rise, Mr Scott said the council was “ fear­ ing the worst.” In fact, the Ribble Val­


ley, he said, fared better than some neighbouring authorities, where stan­ dard spending assess­ ments were reduced as much as 4%. The £3.9 million spend


ing assessment for the Ribble Valley, he added, was £200,000 higher than last year.
