I AM told that it is possible to make a chemical analysis of the constituent parts of the human body and then work out their monetary value.
Apparently, their value is low. The average person contains only enough body fat to make seven bars of soap, iron to make a three inch nail, sugar to fill a sugar basin, lime to whitewash a small ceiling, mag nesium to mark up a dose of magnesia and phos- pherous to tip about 2,000 matches, plus a little sul phur. These raw materials could be purchased for £2.
“what is man?” However, it would not be honest to list the odds and ends I have named and call that a description of a human. Apart from our bones, there is obviously another factor required to make that lit tle lot into a body. The descriptive word used over the centuries has been soul. The main reason for the existence of the body is to house the soul, our inner being.
Some might say it is no wonder the psalmist asks GIORGIO ARM ANI

It is tragic how little concern and care many people
give to the nourishment of their souls, which is at the expense of caring for the container. Evidently some folks have not got their priorities right. They are those who give so much attention to the nourishment of their bodies and neglect the soul, the reason for the existence of the body. Physical frames always receive more attention than spiritual entities. This can regu larly be seen when we note the dedication of joggers and keep-fit fanatics. If the body is undernourished, the result soon becomes visibly apparent, but a neg lected soul, starved of spiritual food, is not so easily noticed.
Many people die from a lack of strength due to misguided attempts to slim by losing weight. Photo graphs of wretched starvation often reveal drastic results from lack of food. Many people die spiritually through deliberately refusing to partake of spiritual food. The cause of such spiritual death could be described as suicide at a time when the balance of the

ing day, he jumps back into his car and drives the few miles home to Whal ley. Time spent with his wife, Julie, and their son, four-year-old David, is very precious. But, when Chris gets the chance, he retires to his own little room and takes up another passion he discovered as a teenager. Years and years of
of bed for the past 13 years to deal with the day- to-day drudgery of earning a living. He throws down a coffee, has a quick bite — if he is lucky — and jumps in his car to travel the few miles to Blackburn, where he is employed to design pub and shop signs. At the end of the work
scribbling down ideas at the most inopportune of times is followed by creat ing pieces of cartoon art, which has left a portfolio of work running into thou sands of items. Now the passion for
drawing cartoon charac ters is creating colourful opportunities for 31-year- old Chris.
who once thought of applying for a job to the
The talented cartoonist,
Walt Disney Studios in Paris, has created his own relatively famous rabbit, which he hopes is taking him places.
He is the artist who won
the competition to design ’Arvey rabbit, the Ribble Valley Borough Council’s
mascot for survival. It is
especially known to those who followed the campaign
to save the Ribble Valley from being carved up under proposed local government reorgan isation.
The borough council
now uses the bunny as its official mascot and embla zons him on the front of T- shirts and promotional information. Badges, fridge magnets and zipper pulls, postcards and a life- size cuddly toy have all featured Chris’s invention. Many of these promotional items are on sale at the T ou r is t Informat ion Centre in Clitheroe’s Mar ket Place.
Tourism officer, Mr Keith Taylor, said of Chris: "He has a great talent and his creation, ’Arvey, is cer tainly in our plans to pro mote the Ribble Valley.” Chris, of Mitton Road,

CHRIS and son David arc pictured with their very own. ’Arvey rabbit, surrounded by a selection o f Chris’s work
is beginning to receive the artistic recognition his work deserves. A regular entrant in the “Advertiser and Times” sponsored an nual art competition at Whalley L ib ra ry, he finally took first place last February with an entry entitled “The Untouch ables”, a cartoon picture in ink, pencil, paint and cray ons showing a gamekeeper figure holding jus hands up in horror as a poacher from the animal world points a r i f le at his
"unmentionables”. Chris, who with his wife
has suffered the loss of two children, now spends a great deal of time fund raising. Their sons, twin brothers Andrew, who died at the age o f 13 months from “cot death”, and Michael, who died from a rare form of heart and lung disease at the age o f two, are constant memories. C h r is ’ s work is in
demand. He designed the- logo fo r the Whalley
pressure group, Abbott’s Way Play . Area Improve ment Committee, and entitled it the “Swinging Abbot t ” . He has also designed the logo for this, year’s two Whalley Chris tian anniversaries — 1400 years of the Christian faith in the village and 700 years of Whalley Abbey. The unassuming young
man, who puts his family above his own personal desires, is realistic about his future. He said: “ I’d love to design greeting

cards and do children’s books, but I have to think > of everyone. I have defini tely thought about going - alone, but it would be a gamble.” This year’s entry for the
Whalley Library Art com petition, in which he has taken the top three prizes in the last three years, is. already prepared. He has returned to the drudgery of day-to-day work and in his spare time he is pro ducing more cartoon masterpieces.
Top award for young trio
THREE young ladies connected with the Lango Venture Scout Unit are to receive Scouting’s highest honour — the Queen’s Scout Award — from the Chief Scout, William Garth Morrison, on Sunday.
The trio are Jane Anne Brewer (18), of Moorgate Farm,
Dinckley, a sixth-form student at St Mary’s RC College, Blackburn; Claire Joanne
Schofield (19), of Whalley Road, Langho, an undergraduate at Worcester University; and Suzanne Holden (18), of Rogersfield, Langho, a student occupational therapist at Derby University.
They will receive the award
certificates at a ceremony at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton- le-Moors, along with 11 other Scouts from other parts of East Lancashire. To qualify for the Queen’s
Scout Award, young. _ required to prove a high standard of skill and commitment in various activities, such as community service, overnight expeditions and sport. Langho Venture Scout Leader
Cathy Jarvis said: “At this stage in their Scouting careers, it is a case of striking a balance between what the young people put into the community and what they take out. They have all enjoyed their work and put a
great deal of leadership skills back into the community.”
Jane has displayed a commitment as a qualified canoe
instructor and is a member of Chtheroe Canoe Club. Claire is a regional representative for the Venture Scouts and in this role has already met the Chief Scout on many occasions. Meanwhile,
Suzanne has worked hard with disabled children and has
accompanied them on holidays in Britain and abroad.
