Another keynote in the
school’s history was in the 1950s, when the then headteacher, Mrs L. Met calfe, fostered a love of the violin among her pupils and produced an ensemble of first-class child musi cians. The strains of violin music could often be heard em a n a t in g from th e schoolhouse and the sight of children carrying violins along the leafy lanes of the village was a familiar one.
Such was their skill and

Novel rescue plan saves pet Maisie
THE little black and tan mongrel that went missing on Waddington Fell three weeks ago has been reunited with her owner — thanks to a search-and-rescue plan by the Ribble Valley Kennels and Catteries organisation.
The association asked
local fanners to be on the look out for Maisie, owned by Bowland High School teacher Mrs Maureen 01s-
zewska. When a sighting at Barrow — some 10 m i le s away — was reported a humane fox trap was used to catch the runaway.
Maisie went missing
while staying with a friend while Mrs Olszewska and her husband, Les, were away on holiday. An appeal in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times for help in tracing the pet fol lowed and several mem bers of the association joined forces in a construc tive plan of action for the safe return of Maisie.

Snow causes road havoc
SNOW and ice played havoc on the Ribble Val ley’s roads this week — and one senior police officer described the driv ing conditions as the worst he had seen in 30 years. As more snow is pre
dicted, the police are con tinuing to warn motorists to drive carefully when on icy roads. Already the freezing
conditions have resulted in two accidents this week. Insp. Ian Hartley, of
Colne police, said: “The conditions were the most
appalling I have seen in my 30 years in the police
service. “Drivers must take care
on the more isolated coun try lanes, where snow can drift on to the road and gritting is not as regular
as on the major roads.” On Tuesday a Manches

same time, two cars were involved in a collision on the Gisburn to Hellifield road. The drivers suffered minor injuries. Drifting snow and ice
were responsible for most of the problems in the vil la g e s . D r iv e r s were delayed as they battled into work on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. However, while several
villages were hit by snow, the roads in Clitheroe remained clear. Insp. Hartley added: “I have rjpthing but praise
