Mr Wardle was able to introduce his work to the Dutch when he took part in a country craft fair in Eindhoven, organised by the B r it ish , and he described his success as “fantastic.”
Many people gathered round his stall to view his
work and to watch him demonstrating his craft and in no time at all he had sold three large pictures and many smaller ones — with the knowledge that his name will be passed round to a wider public in Holland.
“Pieck’s work is very
popular in Holland and visitors to the country craft fair needed few introductions to my pic tures,” he said.

- ‘Quid Each Day’
THE staff at the Rib ble Valley Council are trying to prove they are worth then* weight in gold when it comes to cost-sav ing ideas.
Spurred on by mysterious posters, each showing an enormous red foot, they have embarked on a “Q.E.D.” campaign. The letters stand not for the te levis ion p ro gramme, but a “ Quid Each Day,” which is what they are trying to save.
Environmental services director Mr David Mor ris is organising the scheme, aimed at cut ting costs and improving services.
“The idea is that all our staff are encouraged to work in teams to find ways to reduce our costs and save money,” he said. “The ‘quid each day’ is really saying that even modest cost sav ings from individual ideas can make a very big difference when added together over a long period.”
Mr Morris said that Rib ble Valley residents were also welcome to put forward their own ideas for improving ser vices and saving money.
the past 12 years. They have a daughter,
Julia (23), who is at pres ent on a business studies and language course at Turin University, and a son, Peter (21), a lieuten ant with the Royal Engi neers, at present studying civil engineering.

the advice in the letter was particularly valid, esjje- cially now that Blackburn Council’s proposals to the commissioners include taking over seven parishes from the Ribble Valley. Speaking to the “Clitheroe Advertiser and Times”
Coun. Warkman said: “We believe that we ought to establish that we are Ribble Valley and the fact that we are Blackburn in the post does not mean we are."
Mrs Pepperpot grew back again and told her friends they could come out of hiding. She had seen everything that had hap pened and they all sat down to have some coffee and strawberry layereake. The stories are funny
because Mrs Pepperpot always shrinks at the wrong time.”
Criticises recycling directive by EC
RIBBLE VALLEY MP Nigel Evans has hit out at an EC directive on recy cling which, he claimed, could cost industry nearly £3 billion a year.
Mr Evans is fearful of potential retal
iatory measures which the US and Japan could take in response to “draconian”
regulations governing the packaging of goods coming in to the EC.
The directive, which follows the Ger
man example of waste management, has' already proved difficult to implement and has resulted in excess waste being dumped on the British recycling market. As a consequence, the money received by businesses for their waste paper has plummeted to almost nothing.
Government has introduced laws governing the use of product packaging which, he says, are little more that “crude trade barriers” and do little to promote the Single Market. Compliance with this law costs European businesses billions of pounds already and Mr Evans is adamant that we must not let the EC introduce such legislation through the back door. He concluded: “ If we are to avoid

these and other equally damaging out comes, Europe must take a common- sense approach to packaging and recy cling to find ways which benefit the environment, while at the same time enhancingtrade.”
