years ago. Like many rural lolk. he is gravely concerned about


the environment, not trom the head that is. but horn the heart, because, unlike “ city greenies." lie lias witnessed, first-hand, the slow and agonising destruc­ tion of the natural world — and nowhere more so than on his beloved riverbanks. "People seem to forget," lie said passionately, “ ttint


the rivers are tile veins and lifeblood of our land." It is a destruction lie has felt personally, so much so


that lie lias long been at the vanguard of "green" pressure-group politics. Hut then what do you expect of a man who feels the aerial display oi an "Lmpernr dragon-Hy puts "Tup Cun" to shame? M a r t in James's association w ith environmental

A LOVER of the Chocolate Factory story of Roald I)ahl; Helen Thorpe, is the third to win our - Junior Reader of the Month Competi­


tion for her review of a story about uotika bars and a lucky boy named


Charlie. The competition, which is organised by the Ribble Valley staf f of the Lanca­


shire County Library Service, draws readers Irom all over the borough. Twelve- vear-old Helen hails from Radiham.


lo participate, contes­


tants must write reviews on favourite hooks. He re is H e le n ’s s ta r


entry about “Willy Wonka a n d th e C h o c o 1 a t e Factory:”


“ I have en jo ye d th is


book very much and would read it again. 1 enjoyed it because it has lots of funny parts in it and is the kind of hook that you wouldn’t get bored w ith , so that was good.


The story is about a l i t ­


tle boy called Charlie who lives with his mother and fa th e r and also w ith his fo u r g ra n d p a re n ts in a small house on the edge of a great town. The whole family is poor and Charlie only gets one bar of choco­ late once a year, which is on his birthday.


Then a chocolate factory


th a t is owned by W illy Wonka opens up and puts five golden tickets in five wonka bars all around the world. The first four are found by Augustus (iloop, V e ru ca S a l t . V io l e t B eau rega rde and Mike Teavee.


Then one day Charlie is


walking home from school when he finds fif ty pence. He goes s tra ig h t to the sweet shop and buys a wtmka bar and then when he opens the chocolate liar


he hods the last golden tic ke t. Then it te lls you about what it ts like and what they do in the choco­ late tactory. My favourite part of the


story was whim Augustus (Hoop kept d r in k in g the chocolate r ive r and m the


end he fe ll in and got pushed through pipes. The most interesting character was Willy Wonka, because of all the good ideas he had on making sweets and chocolates. 1 haven’t read any books


which are similar to this w i t h th e ch o c o la t e factory.” H e le i i , o f R e rk e le y


l )rivc, is a Year 7 pupil at St W ilf r id ’s High School, Rlackburn. A frequent visitor to the


W h a l t e y a n d R e a d l ib ra r ie s , she md on ly reads constantly but plays the piano, swims, sings in the church choir, p a r t ic i­ pates in the Guides and corresponds with penpals in Czechoslavakia and Hol­ land. Helen also organises


her own annual sponsored walk from Read to Whal­ ley to ra ise money lo r Christian Aid.

Biography of notable


headmaster A BIOGRAPHY of a former Cl i t h o r o o It o y a 1 rii r a m m a r School h e a dma s t e r promises to l>e a very interest ing; work — a n d mu c h s o u g h t af te r , because of its small print run.


T h e b io g ra p h y is o f


Laurence I la n lv , who was head between IPUo ami lpf>f> ami q u ic k ly esta b­


lish e d a re p u ta t io n for being a top-rate producer of school shows and plays.


’The nuthor is I>r Marry Mrierley, a former Pendle


Ju n io r School and ( ‘KGS pupil now living in Great Shelford, Cambridge. I le is the son of Mr and Mrs Rowland R r ie r le y . fo r ­ me r 1 y o f L i t t le m o o r , ( ’ lithen >e.


With a private printing


of only Filin copies, it pnun- ise s to lie a p o p u la r volume, but not one which w ill be “ by any means a profit-making enterprise,** said I >r I trierlev.


i le tells us that part of


the book includes a first - hand account of Laurence


Manly rehearsing “ Rom* Marie” an account w r i t ­ ten by Mr A r th u r White side, a CRMS pupil and later president of the ( )!d t ‘lit heronians* Associat ion. who was a former editor of the " ( 'litheroe Advertiser and Times.”


for the week H A V K you i-iiiilisi'd y<‘t that ymitlifuliicss is nut so


much :i time of life its :i state nf mind? Most ot us have met people who were old at :!0, while otiu-rs m the ir seventies laid a youthful freshness about them. Ajre. I find, is relative. Readiui; a newspaper account of an "elderly lady of (id" having an accident reveals tn me that the reporter is not yet oil years ot aye. as from then onwards lit) tines not seem to lie at all


elderly! You may yrow wrinkles on your skin as a result ol


tile aireiny process, hut it is your soul that wrinkles early enmiyh when you lose your enthusiasm lo r living. You are yett in ir older fast when you lose your capacity for awesome wonder and no lonyer look forward, sayinji "Those were the days'." The one who is really vouny at heart looks torward


to tomorrow with eager, joyous anticipation. 11 you are beginning to say, w is tlu lly , " I f only I had inv time over again, knowing what I know now." you are definitely growing older. We all are. but some are ageing faster than others. ‘ Raul, in his le tte r to the Christians in I ’hilippi. had


the forward look when he wrote: “ The one thing I do is to forget what is behind me and do my best to reach for what is ahead. So I run straight towards tlie goal in order to win the prize, which is God's call through Jesus Christ to the life above." A ll of us who are spiritually mature should have


the same attitude. I f you have not. then do pray for God to make this clear to you. A glance at Philippians


; i: l:) - l( i will help in this case. We are as old as our doubts and as young as the


faith that is in us, as old as our fears and as voting as our hopefulness. Most of us with a lit t le trust can believe that, for us. the best is yet to be and not in the too-far-distant future. In this state of mind we are able to look forward eagerly into what tomorrow promises for us. Our best achievement in life may well he something that hasn't happened yet. I am in total sympathy with the craftsman, sculptor, painter or w r ite r who, on being asked what is th e ir best work, th e ir highest achievement, reply earnestly “my


next.” Do you understand that? Then you are not as old as


you thought you were. I wonder what tomorrow will b r in g . . . don't vou?
