oust men and their job aegins once our piles of Christinas cants are writ ten and posted at the local letter box. The hard work of writ
ing the emits may be over for us, but, with twice as much post during the Christmas season in the Kibble Valley, that makes for a mountain of mail to be delivered. Clitheroe delivery office
manager Mr Dave Hooley described the huge task for the Ribble Valley's 88 postmen and women: "I would estimate we will bo d e livering more than 600.000 items over the next two weeks.” On a normal day, around
80.000 letters are deli vered to houses and busi nesses in what is the big gest delivery area, in terms of square miles, in
the country. An early start is always
needed, usually around 5 a.m., in order to get the mail sorted and rendy for delivery to the 12,000 houses and businesses in the Ribble Valley. Mr Hooley explained

I.ast year, the nation's |M»stmcn bundled 1.7

Wales. Mail users in Ihc Kibble Valley are lu-iug
asked to help their festive post speed through the Koval Mail's system by ensuring tlu-ir addresses are written carefully mul by using postcodes.
Writing addresses clearly on envelopes means
Christmas greetings are sorted swiftly, avoiding delays while sorting staff try to read destinations.

posted to almost every Kibble Valley house ami this means a lot of mileage for our postmen. One postman, who delivers to

the team of postmen, including four women, sots out around Clitheroe on foot or in the familiar red vans around the Ribble Valley. There are usually two
deliveries every day in Clitheroe and one in rural areas. However, there is only one delivery through out the Kibble Valley dur ing the Christmas season. air Hooley said: “We
have one delivery, as oth erwise we would be start ing very early in the

Despite the increased
workload over Christmas, no extra postmen are taken on during the festive season. Mr Hooley said it was a fallacy that extra staff wore taken on at this time of year, as it was really in the summer when more help was required to cover for holiday leave. Mr 11 o o I e v , w h o
believes the Clitheroe team is working flat out to
get the Christmas post delivered, praised their all-year round efforts. “At the end of the day it

vour state of spiritual ill-health is what is commonly known as Jesus's parable of the prodigal son. 1 call it tlu* |nimble of the loving, forgiving father. You know
tlie storv. but look it up in St Luke's (.1os|k> 1, chapter
15, and read it with yourself in mind. When the young man came to his senses, lie rea
lised how much better off he would Ik* in his father’s h,mso, even ns a servant. The father gave him a won derful welcome, much better than he merited because of his groat love for him. He was received back as a sou. 'Hie father had never ceased to love his erring son and had looked long and eagerly for his
return. Why do you think Jesus told that story? Yes, for
someone like von, who has been away from Him for
far too long. What have you to do? Only believe that Clod is as Jesus has described Him; always seeking to find the lost ones and bring them back to Him. Jesus used to sav: “ I am come to seek and to save
that which was lost." That is why lie sjient so muclw. time with the folks whom the religious people of lli.\
day regarded as great sinners. He told His critics that He went when* He was needed. He wasn't gall
ing the righteous, but sinners to re|iontimco. * Let's admit it. We have all dune things we oi^thl
not to have done and left undone the things wo ought to have done. Our Church of England friends lise
similar words in their general confession prayer every week. We are all sinners needing to nrayffor foi-giveness. Our Roman Catholic fraternity has''long iqipivoiated the value of confession and forgiventss. We an- asked also to forgive those who have wronged us in any way amt are told that, in as muelt as we forgive, so can we cs|H>ct forgiveness oursclvcf.

* Do not let pride prevent your return to the Chris
tum Church. Yes,’ there are very good living pemilo who never go inside a church. Tliev would enrich the fellowship of tlieiClnireh if they did'go- The Church of the Lotil Jesus Christ is poorer because of their they and so are von. Jesusjiias

sionals, they are at the front end. 1 cannot praise too much," he said. When the "Clitheroe
Advertiser and Times” met postman Mr Neil Kevnolds on his round in the Whalley and Wiswell area, the paper found Christmas spirits to be high, despite the hard work. Mr Kevnolds, of Cirind-
leton, explained that the festive season meant more
hours sorting the post before leaving on a round and, so, some deliveries wen* slightly delayed. However, he added:
''A rou n d Chr ist m a s nobody seems to bother if the post is a bit late. K v e r y o n e s e e m s t o understand." Of course, it is hard to
believe all this work and effort takes place after cards are stamped nnd posted, so when reading your greetings cards just remember all the worn shoe leather and aching limbs that have helped make it ixissiblo.
