G re a t fun d ay a t village c ra f t fa ir
FACE painting was only one of many attractions that pulled in the crowds at West Bradford Count ry C r a f t F a i r
Saturday. The colourful work of
o n
former v illage r Fred Brume (pictured right) proved a nit with children. A beautiful nunny day
defied the recent wet weather, to the delight of the Flaying Fielda Man agement Committee, and
contributed to a succesaful .show. The day was filled with
non-stop entertainment, including the 1st Colne Hoys’ and Girls’ brigade Hand giving a spirited musical performance while marching, members of Clayton-le-Moors Ju-jilsu Club demonstrating their skills at martial arts and the Clitheroe B r itish Legion Majorettes pres enting a delightful display. The Clitheroe .Juggling
Workshop team demon strated their dexterity by juggling with a wide vari ety of articles, to the delight of the audience. The crowd also showed its appreciation of “The Great

best to keep our road open and the longest we have been cut off by snow and ice was a mere three days. C o n t r a r y t o Mr s Newhouse’s experience, we have often found the Lancashire side of the road over the Bowland Knots cleared before the Yorkshire plough has reached the summit. Last October a mighty ash fell across this road (luring the evening. We notified the police of the blockage and shortly after midnight the foreman of the road gang and his m e r ry men a rr iv ed, in appalling weather, to s ta r t the clearance. They apologised for being delayed; they
More recently, a dan
gerous pothole developed on a hazardous corner and, less than an hour after our reporting this to the high ways d ep a r tm en t , a
supervisor arrived to
inspect it. He immediately effected a temporary repair, using asphalt he carried in the hoot of his car! One could scarcely expect more prompt action in the middle of Clitheroe.
Trimming the hedges
and roadside verges is a vexed question. Furely from a road user’s stand point, the earlier and
oftener, the safer. But environmentalists object to cutting before the seeds have set. One disadvan tage of living in an “area of natural beauty” is that the local au th o r it ie s are required to pay special attention to the needs of conservation. As a “southerner” by
birth, “northerner” by marriage and neutral by choice, I am not concerned
whether the Forest of Bowland is in Lancashire or Yorkshire. I only hope that the excellent service we have received in the past will continue in the future — whichever “rose” prevails.

needless destruction and Primrose Lodge will, no doubt, be another, once the money starts talking! While on environmental issues, the to
operational, has a natural supply of wild life, living unhindered by anyone. This includes rabbits, frogs, newts, ducks, hedgehogs, coots, foxes, innumerable birdlife and the star of the show, a nest ing pair of peregrine falcons. I would like to see wildlife like that on one of the new housing estates, which are ruining the surrounding countryside. * There are more saplings and natural hawthorns than you shake a stick at, all free from agricultural destruction.

tally-biased opinion of your reporter in the Castle Cement quarry story last week is a blatant abuse of journalistic licence. The aim should have been to pro duce a balanced report on the proceed ings instead of trying to stop the quarry and therefore close the cement works, creating OOO-pluB unemployed to add to Kibble Valley dole queues. The paper which brings about the clo
sure of the cement works will, there fore, cut its own circulation and suffer as a consequence of its own staff. I would rather have a quarry half-a-
inile outside the town than poxy hous ing estates springing up left, right and centre. If there is no employment, these estates will just add to Glitheroe’s "retirement home” appearance or create
a ghost town. The quarry, which at present is fully

• We arc ul a loss to understand the writer’s cluim of u “blatant abuse of
jou rn a l is t ic l icen ce.” The factual report was as balanced as possible given the reluctance of Castle Cement to comment on the erection of protest posters on the A5!l. It might he perti nent to point out thol the “Advertiser and Times” docs not make the news. We merely try to reflect it — particu larly when it comes to important com munity topics like the Bellman Quarry planning application. On a point of a c cu ra cy , the number o f people employed by Castle Cement is 400 — editor.
Pilgrimage to battlefields
DUE to very generous media publicity for my hook, “When You Go Horne," about the fall or Singapore and the Burma-Siarn Death Kailway, many people in your
part of the country have contacted me in recent weeks. Some have been seeking information about husbands, fathers and sons who roll
in battle in Malaya and Singapore in 1941-KM2, or died later as prisoners of the Japanese, and I am happy to help them where I can.

pointment. I'd b e t te r explain the posh one. I think most of us will recall our local actor, John Strat ton, and that he took part in the film, “The Cruel Sea,” made in 11)52. Also taking part were Jack Haw kin s, V ir gi n ia McKenna, Stanley Baker and Donald Sinden. John Stratton and Donald Sin-
den played the parts of two young officers going on a ship as their first
duty in cue Navy in World
Warll. The film unit was based
in the Grand Hotel, Fly- mouth, and John did send me a few notes about the set-up there. John had a varied career on the stage, films and television; per haps not nlaying leading roles, but fie seemed to he in regular employment, A few months ago. I
read that Donald Sinden was in a play in London and I wondered if he knew
• about John. I wrote to Mr Sinden to tell him the sad news about John’s death in October, MUM. I did not get a reply, not that it was important, but today I got this letter in the “pOBh” envelope. This is what he wrote to me. "Dear Mr Carnhien, I

I saw many of his splendid performances on television. He is a great loss to our profession. I am proud to have known him. Yours sincerely, Donald Sinden.” I hope we can ponder on
