and asthma outbreaks, even though it is a well-publi­ cised fact that these are nationwide problems, held by most experts to be caused by VEHICLE emissions. For all its faults, Castle Cement provides real jobs.

Hogweed easily avoided


I WAS most interested to read the comments of your co r re sp o n d e n t , Jack Ripley, about the origins of pant hogweed in this


region.It is thought that giant hogweed was planted in country house gardens during Victorian times. This 1 find entirely credi­ ble and can easily visualise it as a spectacular and much-prized addition to a shrubbery. In those days, most, if not all, of the gar­ den work was done by a staff of gardeners and the main concession to sum­ mer heat would possibly have been disrobing as far as the waistcoast, so the blistering effect of giant


hogweed might well gone unnoticed.


>liC MIMIV.IXX” ' Lees,


planting like this, with the subsequent escape of seeds. Some of the earliest English records of giant hogweed come from the Preston and lower Ribble area and it is possible that this is the story of the original introduction to


this area. The.plant is now very


widespread in the British Isles, as well as in Scan­ dinavia, Northern Europe, North America and Can­ ada and in North Africa. It is highly likely that Col Parmeter did in fact pick up some seed during his travels and bring it back to Whitewell. In appearance, the


of the plant, near Middle fits in well with a


Mr Ripley’s observation


. . . " j,iave t


the hogweed dies back in winter, patches of bare soil are left, which are very vulnerable to erosion, especially when they occur on riverbanks. This is the main reason for the NRA’s involvement with hogweed control. The other factor is the way that the sap can sensitise skin to sunlight, so that some people can get severe blistering and permanent scarring. I must take issue with


investigating the amount of pollution with scientific monitoring, rather than relying on "the human nose,” which David Morris says is his way of detect­ ing levels of pollution, fol­ lowing complaints?

during the peak wedding season, Mrs Clews had to book a reception venue. Stonyhurst College, where Patrick was a pupil, Mr Clews a former head of maths and where Mrs Clews teaches speech and drama, proved the perfect solution. The old observa­ tory was booked and an


intimate reception held out-of-doors on one of the more beautiful days this


summer. The couple, who are to


live in Kuala Lampa, left- for a honeymoon to a secret destination. Mrs Clews, who will soon be helping to organ­


ise her daughter’s wed­ ding, noted that her son still had the prospect of organising a tea party and banquet for 110 Malay Chinese relatives once he and his bride arrive home.
