A MAN whose years of service to the Ribble Valley included terms as town mayor, aider- man and Chamber of Trade president has
died, aged 83. Mr Sidney John Moore, of Railway View Road, Clitheroe, was bom and educated in Preston and
lived for several years in Accrington, where he mar ried his wife, Eva, at St Mary’s RC Church, Altham, in 1935. His war service was spent as a radar opera tor in destroyers with the Home Fleet in the Western Approaches and the Northern Patrol and he also served in the Mediterranean, before being invalided out.

Away from politics, he served on the Clitheroe and District Chamber of Trade Execu tive from 1972 to 1986 and was president in 1981-82. Much of Mr Moore’s spare time was spent on
the golf course — and he belongs to the elite band of players who have holed in one at Clitheroe Golf Club. He was also a member of St Mary’s Parish Church and a Freemason. He retired from the plumbing business in 1986,

Caution urged for pudding eaters
BLACK and white puddings may be added to the list of foods with a link to BSE, the so-called “mad cow disease” — to the horror of lovers of the tradi tional Lancashire delicacy. The report, by the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
National Surveillance Unit, claims that people who eat black and white puddings are three times more likely to go down with the human form of the cow disease. Kidneys are also identified as a danger food, though brains, sausages, tripe, liver, sweetbreads, haggis and tongue have been given the okay. Scientists have responded to the report by saying
that the link between puddings and BSE is “nominal and th e claims should be t r e a te d with
“circumspection.” Local butchers, however, have expressed scepti
cism. One observed that as black puddings are made with pigs’ blood — not cows* — the report has
no basis m fact. A spokesman for the award-winning Cowman s
Famous Sausage Shop, on Castle Street, Clitheroe, commented: “White puddings are made with suet and don’t contain any other meat products. Are these so-called experts going to tell us to stop eat ing suet puddings and dumplings next?”
