« I ~Y~"i (E d i to r ia l ) , 2292H (A d v e r t is in g ) . B u r n le y jSSHHl (C la s s i f ie d ) Flying the flag for the Blues
SCOUSE shopkeeper Alan Montague turned out to be a true blue when he made sure youngsters put out the flags for the homecoming Clilheroe Football team.
The kind-hearted Come in Handy .
boss dug deep in his pockets to buy flags for the young blues fans to wave at the players as their open-top hns
passed his Castle Street shop. Explaining his gesture, Liverpool
fan Alan said "I was feeling a bit down after the FA Cup final, so I thought.— why not cheer yourself up and treat the youngsters? “ I once played for Liverpool
Schoolboys and always found it a big boost when there was plenty of support, whether we won or lost.” The Advertiser and Times learnt of
the Liverpool-born shopkeeper's kind deed from several of the youngsters' parents. They explained that a man had been
selling blue and white flags and Alan stepped in, saying he would pick up
the bill for all the youngsters' flags. Alan jokingly added: “It was my
housekeeping money, but it was worth seeing the youngsters give their team a wave and a cheer.”

Memorial to lost infants
A CLITHEUOE group is hoping to raise £200 to buy a tree and plaque to place in W a d d in g to n Itoacl cemetery.
The Tree of Life is to be
paid for by the Clitheroe branch of the Miscarriage Association and it is to provide a focal point for women who have lost chil- d r e n . t h r o u g h miscarriages.
. The group is hoping to
raise the money by holding a coffee morning in the Clitheroe Mayor’s Parlour, in Church Street, on June 22nd at 10 a.m. A spokesperson from
the group said that there was no burial provision for women who lost unborn babies under 24 weeks into their pregnancy. She said: “This place in the ceme tery will act as a memorial to those infants. We would like to offer women in the area a focal point for their grief.” It is hoped that the tree
and plaque will be in place by July.
