and. Reluctant to open up the red


uits, north exited with a club, utting west on lead.


A club lead would give eclarer a ruff ami a discard. A eart would obviously give away


. trick to the king. So west led the five of ilia


mends, covered by the ten. king} and ace. Queen of diamonds foi* i lowed and a third round of thel suit put west on lead again. The t l>est he could do was to c;ush the 1 ace of hearts and north made his j contract.


Could west do better? To


defeat the contract, he needed to put his partner on lead to come through the hearts and e ‘s only card of entry must l>e the king of diamonds. Why not


ast';


lead the jack of diamonds instead of the five? Then if north s foolish enough to put up the


[ueen, east will gel in with rither of king or nine. But a wily icrth would let the jack hold uni then west would be lelpless.

Farewell to a popular


lollipop lady


THE children of Kdisford Primary School hid heartfelt goodbye to retiring lollipop lady Mrs Lorna Wintorhotlom.


a Mrs Winterhottom, ofGarnetl Road, was a popu­


lar and cheerful presence during her eight years working as a lollipop lady just outside the mam school gates. Whatever the weather, she carried out her duties


with a smile in both the mornings and afternoons. "She is a lovely lady.” commented headteacher


Mrs Mary Hallewell. “She always has a smile and a kind word for cvcrvone. She knew all the children by name. We are all just very sorry to see her go.


We really will miss her." A special assembly was called to thank Mrs \\ in-


terbottom for her sendees. I’upils presented Iter with a cheque from a collection, as well as pres­ ents cards and a bouquet or Rowers. They even read poems and letters written in her honour.


Mrs Winterhottom is pictured with just it few of


the pupils she has helped along their way to school and home over the years.


Extended Christmas


CHRISTMAS cheer and fun came a month late for Longridge Young Farmers.


Licensee Damian Bain, of The Cross Keys Hotel,


Ribehester, was given the go-ahead by Clitheroe magistrates for the farmers’ charity Christmas disco,


which was held on Friday. However, police expressed objections to granting


an occasional licence on the grounds of the disco’s unusual name. Magistrates decided to amend the closing time


front 1-30 a.m. to 12-30 a.m. and granted other occasional licences.

Helping hand for jobless


A HELPING hand is being extended to unem­ ployed Ribble Valley residents through a spe­ cial Trinity Youth and Community Centre


project. Tito scheme, which was


begun with the help of a European Social Fund grant and is an expanded version of the long-run­ ning Skillshare project, provides free guidance, counselling and support for men and women trying to r e - e n te r the job


market. So far. 17 people have


participated in the project, which is aimed at men and women aged 25 and older who have been registered unemployed for 12 months or who are returning to work after a long period without paid employment. Of those. 13 have gained


employment as a result and two have gone on to


further education. Exam­ ples of how Skillshare helped them include a 211- vear-old man who acquired the confidence to success­ fully obtain work with an accountant. Another participant was


a woman who gained a job in reception work wit It the help of interviewing tech­ niques learned through the


project. The course helped


another woman, who had always previously held


secretarial work, to realise that her true vocation was cooking and she has since obtained employment. Finally, another lady


became interested in sign language through Skill- share. She obtained volun­ tary work as a result ami is currently awaiting a full-time position utilising


the skill. The good news is that


another Skillshare course has just begun and there are still places foe 10 Rib­ ble Valley residents, who will not" only be given training in everything from being interviewed to word-processing, but will also have the chance for personal growth. “We are leaning more


towards the person rather than just their professional id e n t i ty . ” explained project co-ordinator Mrs I.ynette Craney. " it ’s easy once you've taken the p lu n g e t o e h a n g e direction.” Anyone who would like


to learn more about the project or join the latest course should ring Mrs Craney or Skillshare organiser Mrs Melanie Kil- mister (Clitheroe 287)5-1).

bracelets and puzzles, came third in a contest to find the best business plan. Ribble Valiev Enter­


prise Agency administra­ tor Pat Wallis, one of the


judges, said the contests were seen as a rehearsal for the main presentation evening to be held in May. “ It gave the companies


the chance to practise their skills before an


audience, but it does not follow that the winners will claim the same places at the main presentation,” she said. The interim presenta­


tion, hosted by St Augus­ tine’s, was won by "Balled Over” from St Chris­ topher’s CE High School, Accrington. Seven com­ panies gave verbal reports on their products and progress to date. The business plan con­


test was won by “Woody and Co” from Longridge High School, with second place going to “ Dinomight” from Rhyddings High School, Oswaldtwistle.


The chairman of the


judging panel for the interim presentation, Mr Trevor Roberts, of Prim­ rose Garage, Clitheroe, said it had been very diffi-


cult to judge the competi­ tion as the standard was extremely good. Also on the judging


panel was Geoff Tattersall, of Grimshaw and Town­ send Ac rch ite e ts , of Accrington. The evening was introduced by the vice-chairman of Young Enterprise, Mr John Neal, of Jones Stroud Insula­ tions, Longridge. Meanwhile, the Young


Enterprise groups submit­ ted their business plans to Mr Michael Barrett and his team at Sehlumberger M e t f 1 e d , o f G r e a t Harwood. Mr Howard Blackburn


of B. Dugdale and Son, Clitheroe, said that the business plan judges were impressed by the high standard overall and gave the young achievers some useful pointers for future written reports.
