A CHATBURN mail who trained as a bomb aimer during World War II now has fund-rais­ ing goals as his target in a campaign to furnish Lancashire children and their families with an extra-special hospice.


D u rin g th e p a s t two


years, (iii-year-okl Mr John C la y to n , o f Downham Road, has become known


locally as a man with a mission through his work as chairman of the Ribble Valley branch of Derian House Children’s Hospice Appeal. Incredibly, Mr Clayton’s

raised to cover the cost of building the hospice, now u n d e r c o n s t ru c t io n a t E u x to n , n e a r Chorloy, another £000,000 will be required each year to pro­ vide the specialised care needed. “ T h a t ’s g o in g to bo


h a rd e r s t i l l , ” said Mr Clayton. “I t ’s not quite as e a sy a s ta lk in g ab o u t bricks and mortar.” Considering his commit­


te e se t a £250,000 fund­ raising goal at the outset an d is a l r e a d y f a s t approaching the £100,000 mark, the prospect should not seem too daunting. Full of praise for the


committee, Mr Clayton makes particular mention of hard-working treasurer Mr Bryn Lofthouse and r e t ir in g s e c r e ta ry Mrs Muriel Ashcroft. “That Je su s had 12 dis­


ciples helping him is rele­ vant,” explained Mr Clay­ to n . “ Y o u c a n ’ t g e t anywhere on your own.” Mr Clayton’s work on


the Dorian appeal is not his first venture into the world of fund-raising. The retired managing director of a forme r Bla ck bu rn packaging company helped to launch the appeal for th e G r e a t . H a rw o o d C r ic k e t Club p av il io n ,

Married with two adult

Surprise for old pals


A SABDEN man and the Canadian pilot he flew with in the RAF 48 years ago had a surprise meeting when both attended a reunion


at an old air base near York. Mr W e s S o u thw o r th


((59), who was the flight engineer in a seven-man crew with the Canadian in the RAF’s 7(5 Squadron at H o 1 m e - U p o n - S p a 1 d i n g Moor, n e a r Y o rk , only decided to go to the event on th e s p u r o f t h e moment, while F.O. Gor­ don Amundrud attended simply as part of his first return visit to England. H av in g lo s t c o n ta c t


since they last saw each other in 1915, when they flew' th e ir final mission to g e th e r in a H a l i fa x b o m b e r , b o t li w e r e amazed to find the other attending the reunion. Now t h e p a i r li a v e resolved to keep in touch


and hone to meet again, either here or in Canada. They a re also try in g to trace the four oilier Cana­ dian crew and the wireless o p e ra to r , who lived in Kent. Mr Sou thworth said:


“We’ve never heard from any of them since the war, but it would be nice if we could got in touch."

“IT didn't work last week!” retorted the young lass. I hail been trying to impress upon my class that, if they welcomed Je su s into their daily lives as a constant companion, His presence would help them in times of temptation. Speaking from personal experience about her struggles to avoid taking surreptitious linger dips into tlie condensed milk and nibbling pieces from the boiled ham prior to it reaching the table, she had to admit failure, despite a quick prayer for help. Pool- girl! I knew ju s t how she felt at that stage of


her spiritual growth. Earnestly dabbling in this new found faith, she had expecteil spectacular success. Site had been trying to.run before she had learned to walk in the faith and mistakenly thought that her venture into Christian living would be an insurance against giving in to temptation. " 1 explained to her that temptations came to all of us


and that we were not always able to resist them because of our divided selves. There were two of us to contend with, as it were; our good selves and our bad selves. Given the opportunity, Je su s could help our good self to overcome temptation, but sometimes our bad self overruled what we knew to be Gotl’s will for us. On that occasion she had failed despite the efforts of her-better self. Having flopped that time, she had been tempted again to abandon the whole


project. As it was obvious to me that she would have tar


greater temptations to face in later life, 1 persuaded her to persevere with her good intentions, in the hope of maturing into deeper and greater spiritual life. She will smile today at the memory of her first ventures into the faith and be glad that she did not give up at her first experience of failure. Our closing hymn that night was one in which


progressive verses ended with “All of self and none of Thee, some of self and some of Thee" and, finally, “None of self and all of Thee.” I prayed that this might eventually be the young girl’s experience. Christianity is far from being an insurance against


the misfortunes of life, but when they come to us we are conscious of receiving help, strength and inspira­ tion to cope with them. Such inner calm and peace enables us to be seen as able to tleal with life’s dire emergencies. From our own experience we can tes: tify that the consciousness of Christ’s daily presence does make it easier to withstand temptations and to live our lives courageously. These words are written to encourage anyone who


may feel that Christ lias failed them to realise that it is entirely the other way round!
