A CLITHEROE kitchen was transformed into a Radio Lancashire studio for a mouthwatering after noon cooking session. Mrs Stephanie Kay, of
Green Drive, volunteered her home for the “Punter's Kitchen” programme fea tured every Wednesday, from 2 to -1 p.m., on Alison Brown’s ‘‘Lancashire
Afternoon." With her 13-month-old

hip, Mrs Kay welcomed Radio Lancashire reporter
H a r r ie t R o b e r ts and Brown’s B is t ro ch e f Nicholas Wharf into her culinary centre. All donned headsets
connected to the Black burn studio through a
mast attached to a Radio Lancashire van parked outside the house. Once Mr Wharf had unloaded his ingredients and a bot tle of wine had been uncorked, they were ready to go live.
Eor the next two hours,
l is te n e r s were kept abreast of the cooking through regular on-air updates. On the menu were giant prawns in gar lic butter with a mixed green salad, beef Welling ton in a chasseur sauce with mixed vegetables and Mexican potatoes, fol lowed by crepes suzettes.
To wash everything
down, Booths supplied three types of wine. While
THOUGHTfor the week
IN a slum mission in Glasgow, a Sunday School class listened intently to their teacher as she related the story of the prodigal son. They followed with interest now the lad had claimed his inheritance to go out and make his own way in the world and had gone into a far country.
They could understand how, when his
money was all gone, he had been glad to save himself from starvation by accept ing a job which entailed looking after pigs and even then experienced hunger enough to envy the swine who fed so well. They knew all about the misery lack of money could bring and were not unfamiliar with hunger pangs.
. The story was new to them, so when the teacher asked what they thought the father would do when the lad had decided he would be better off at home, working for his father, and asked him for a job, those children who knew life at its toughest were unanimous with their
answer — “bash him!” They spoke from the experiences of
their own fathers’ reactions and were amazed at hearing of this (lad running to
meet his wayward son. Given the normal state of affairs, they were sure that the , lad would have received a good thrashing
for wasting all that money. ’1 o them, this
would have been justice. That father, arranging a welcome
home party, completely reclothing him — new suit, new shoes and a ring on his finger — completely baffled them. They found it difficult to comprehend the love of the father, who had looked so long in vain for his wandering son’s return, fear ing the worst — that he might have died and that he might not see him again. This story was not really about the
prodigal son so much as the loving, for giving father. It was told by Jesus to illustrate the love of God, who never stops caring for His children and rejoices
when they come back to Him. The tragic part was that they could
not imagine their fathers acting in such a way. Filled with such a love, parents still receive their wayward children back
home today with real joy and happiness. It is to be hoped that those children
grew up to be loving parents, influenced by that old story of a loving father for his erring son. Telling that story, Jesus sought to pass on to us the great truth of the undeserved, unmerited, forgiving love of God, who loves us enough to for

eek in and week out, amidst news document ing every season of Ribble Valley
life, a column appears on the pages of the “Adver tiser and Times” that strives to take readers to another plane. T h o s e who follow
Looking back on his own
life, he certainly has a well of experiences to draw from. Born in Nelson, Mr Stansfield was actually a choirboy as a youngster in the Church of England.
When his family moved
“Thought for the week” know that, whatever their religious beliefs, when they dip into the words of Jo e S ta n s field th e ir worldly concerns will fall away for a moment at least, while their minds wander in a more spiritual or philosophical realm. Mr Stansfield (S2) wrote
his first columns for “The Nelson Leader,” the sister paper of the “Advertiser and Times,” after joining a creative writing class at Nelson and Colne College. He had learned about
the course while studying for A-levels in English literature, general know ledge and comparative religions — at the age of 05. Mr Stansfield had just retired and “didn’t want to go rusty,” so had decided
to return to school. Through creative writ
ing, he discovered a new medium for the Methodist preaching he had been
doing since 1931. “ I started to think I
could use my writing as Christian propaganda and reach more people in a week than I might have in a lifetime,” he said with a smile, as he sat in the lounge of his Barrowford home. Now a member of the
Colne Writers’ Circle, Mr Stansfield tries to weave illustrations from every day life into his columns to make them more interest ing and give his religious th em e s a p r a c t i c a l framework
to Barrowford, a Method ist church happened to be situated at the end of the street and his lifelong affil iation with Methodism began. Mr Stansfield quickly became friendly with the minister and his wife and remembers the manse as a second home.
Eventually, his involve
ment in the church, now Barrowford Civic Hall, evolved into training as a local preacher on the Methodist circuit.
In the meantime, Mr
Stansfield was beginning his working life. Employed initially as a weaver, he later became a baker in Skipton, where he even tually landed a job with the railway.
Tragedy struck during
his time as a relayer. One morning, on his way to breakfast, he stopped to give a friend a hand. He set about helping him break some rusted bolts, but without the benefit of protective goggles, and a steel chip flew into his eye.

Today, a plastic eye has replaced the old glass one, to the delight of M r S t a n s f i e l d . Apparently, false eyes fall out occasionally and, while glass eyes sh a t te r on impact, plastic ones just tend to bounce. Soon enough, Mr Stans-
