Astaire humming away in a downpour to “Singing in the Rain” leapt to mind as Mrs Flordeliza Barnsley compared her new home, in West Bradford to her native Cebu City. Attitude towards wet


weather is almost the first difference she noticed. When it rains in the Phil­ ippines, people go out to play, so it is with surprise


that Mrs Barnsley has observed the absence of such shower-inspired frol­ ics in England. Mrs Barnsley (22), who


married her Ribble Valley husband Alan at St Helen’s Church, Waddington, after a fevered long-distance courtship, said the playing in the Philippines is celebratory, since rain often comes but once a year. Gastronomically, Mrs


Barnsley is also quick to note variations. Filipinos


begin all meals with a glass of water and bowl of sou)) — even breakfast. To begin the day, they dine typically on fish soup, salami and eggs and fried rice. Lunch also starts with soup, followed usually by stir-fry. Dinner is normally a barbecue, preceded, of course, by soup. As for the British habit


of frequent tea and coffee breaks, Filipinos only

Return of American preacher


ANYONE who met the Rev. Worthie K. Usher, from Marshalltown, Iowa, when lie was in Clitheroe last summer, will no doubt welcome the chance to hear him preach one more time. ■ Mr Usher, who spent


six weeks in Clitheroe as part of an exchange with the Rev. Jim Needham, of Trinity Methodist Church, is leading a tour round the British Isles. He and his party will be pausing in Clitheroe on Sunday eve­ ning and Mr Usher will be preaching at the (i p.m. service at Trinity. The music at the service


will be led by the North West Youth Band of the


Salvation Army, who are in town for a bandstand concert at 3-30 p.m. Afterwards, the US


visitors will be entertained in local homes, before moving on to Blackburn and Chester.

C H ILD R E N at St A u g u s t in e ’ s H igh School, Billington, have had another indus­ trious year raising money fo r va r iou s charities. Pupils from year nine


raised £150 for the Rainbow Family Trust, a charity based in the Salford diocese, which raises money for ter­ minally ill children, and the money will go towards enhancing the lives of young patients


in the Ribble Valley area. The pupils have also


raised £150 for Roma­ nian and Albanian orphans. The money was raised by each class baking cakes and bring­ ing them in to sell at break, by organising coffee mornings and bring-and-buy sales, by washing staff ears and hv organising a copper collection at the end of the day, when people donate the coppers they h a v e l e f t f r o m lunchtime. Other years in the


school have also been busy raising money. Year seven raised £<>8S for the Handicapped Children’s Pilgrimage Trust, which t a k e s youngsters on pilgrim­ ages io places such as Lourdes.


Year eight raised Lb 1 S _ t


for Derian Hospice, the Lancashire children’s


cancer charity, and year 10 raised £205for the Chimbotee Missions in Peru, which under­ take missionary work in South America.

WE are apt to make the mistake of always seeking to be actively occupied, as if it were wrong to simply rest and he quiet. I f we relax in an easy chair, most of us feel that we must have the television switched on,


or read, or knit, or sew. One precious thing many of us are apt to miss is


quiet. We are constantly being invaded by noise of some kind. Even in our bedrooms, many of us are denied silence by the tickety tackety of an alarm clock. I f there is no such clock, then there can be the rather noisy breathing of our sleeping partner. Supermarkets accompany our shopping with piped


music. Often the first thing we do on entering a room is to turn on the radio. It seems as though we are scared of being quiet. Have you ever wondered why? Is it because we are not wanting to hear the still small voice of God in our heart, lest we be disturbed? To begin the day with a regular quiet time can be a


definite blessing. It is then that we have a chance to sort out our affairs as they stand that day., in relation to what Jesus would have us do. Such a time every morning, of listening to what God has to say to us, of sharing our hopes and fears, can sweeten the rest of


the day. You hardly have time for your eornfakes? Mornings


are the best time for such sessions, but you can prac­ tise the presence of God at all times. Have you ever thought how you can always manage to find time to do what you really want to do? What do you want? Right! Now find time for it. Once into the habit, you will wonder however you managed to do without it. JOE STANSF1ELD

ELIZABETH HUFFMAN REPORTS


consume coffee at breakfast and never drink


tea unless they are suffering from a hangover


or upset stomach. Potatoes are also rarely


eaten, except when used in hot pot, a dish similar to Lancashire’s own version. Beef, almost a luxury com­ modity in the Philippines, makes equally few appearances at mealtimes, with fish the cheapest food — 50p buys a kilo of crabs. Drinking and smoking


are another infrequent practice. Men only go to a


bar on payday and are never accompanied by women, few of whom ever drink or smoke. Women also never wear make-up, revealing dresses or nail polish — till disapproved of by families and husbands. Snakes are another


feature of Filipino life virtually absent in England. Mrs Barnsley


has shot snakes as thick as tree trunks while chopping firewood. The cobras and seven-day snakes even chase people and are large enough to swallow chickens. In the Ribble Valley,


Mrs Barnsley is enjoying her first experience going to pubs and wearing tou­ ches of make-up. Holidays are another boon. Filipinos do not take vacations, only the odd day at the heaclt or in the mountains. Although she is not used


to the comer weather in England, Mrs Barnsley is impressed by the lack of dust which is so pervasive in the Philippines. She is also finding a few new favourite foods, from corned beef hash to roast potatoes. Site lias even adopted


the most British of traditions — drinking up to five cups of tea a (lay.


Collectors needed for


procession VOLUNTEERS are! urgently needed foiT Clitheroe’s forthcom-1 i n g t o r c h l ig h l| procession. A meeting of Clith- j


sN


eroe Town Council I heard that 34 organi- f sations have so far agreed to put floats in the procession, but volunteers are needed to collect money while the procession is in progress. The meeting was


told that such collec­ tions usually meet some o f the pro­ cession’s costs. Conn. Stephen Sut­


cliffe, when asketl if he .might undertake financial responsibil­ ity for the procession, said: “ I f financial responsibility means going to the tower if the procession is a Hop, then no, 1 won’t! But if it means keep­ ing an eye oil the pro­ cession’s finances, then yes, 1 will!” Anyone who might


be able to collect money during the procession is asked to contact town council clerk Mrs Dorothy Kane (C l ith e ro e 24722).
