24,000 strings to catch the sounds. A television camera has 60,000 photo
electric elements which enable it to see and register vision, but the human eye, I am informed, contains more than 137 million, elements.
Everyday sounds and sights we take for
granted are interpreted by our brain. Two. hundred communicating pathways can meet in one single nerve cell of the brain/ so that the messages flowing into it can be received, collated and sorted out, at a split second’s notice.
Computers are wonderful things and I
have no doubt that a good one could accomplish the task of one nerve cell. However, there are ten thousand million nerve cells in the human brain, each one of these being a micro-computer. Breathtak ing isn’t it? Surely that is enough to show beyond all doubt that the psalmist was
f o r t h e w e e k
musician playing on a grand piano has 240 strings at his disposal with which to make
right when he wrote that we were fearfully and wonderfully made. My reason for introducing such brain daz-
zling facts is to pass on a little ammunition for the benefit of those who,' like me, have to cope with information widely published that we were here by an accident of fate. We were told that there was once a big bang and eventuaUyall life evolved into its
present state. Maybe there is a glimmer of truth behind this, but personally, I make
L ?°me allowance fertile horse feathers and hogwash of this fantasia, I realise that television sets, watches, and calculators never came into being by accident, as each
bears evidence of a creator. The universe is far more complicated. There must be
much more than an accident of fate to
~“ Un,t. f? r the distance of our universe.' Scientists are constancy telling of all
rirnl? f? 0Iider m the universe. This poses the natural question “Whose order” ?

into a meeting place, would local residents have opposed the move on the grounds that
I
it might become a church? And would the protestors have been
reluctant to be named when they were making their feelings known? That is painfully similar to what hap
pened when an application was put for ward to turn a house in Holden Street into
a centre for Islamic studies for children
under the age of 11. Our reporter met with the same litany on
I many doorsteps in the area — “ I’m not a | racist, bu t . . . ” Protestors’ reluctance to
be .named shows they were aware that I their opinions could easily be miscon
strued and, if prejudice was not behind their opposition to the proposal, what
was? For the people aiming to set up the cen tre, the opposition will, sadly, not be a nov elty; and, for the children they would like
to see attend it, the process of growing up in a society where many people regard them with suspicion, fear or active dislike has probably already started. What a tragedy it must be for a child to discover that many people you live among
simply do not like you, not because of any thing you have done, but simply because .
of who your parents are. A couple of months ago, I .visited the
home of an Asian family whose young daughter had just been selected as one of this newspaper’s Junior Readers of the
I Month. The little girl was the third child in the family to have been chosen over the
years. A two-year-old boy, asleep on the sofa, was clearly going to be a third candi date in due course. When I left, the little boy came to the door with his elder sister and, as I was walking-down the path, he shouted a very clear goodbye and blew me
a kiss. The thought of such an innocent’s first conscious meeting with racial preju dice is appalling.
f a group of born-again Christians had applied to turn a house in Clitheroe
A s I s e e i t .
Imagine if it had been one’s own little boy. ,, My own children grew up m an area of.. Leeds where they were m the
minonty.to,
the extent where at one stage ter was one of only two white children in a , niami of over 30. Now she is at lmiversity,, she is horrified at the unthinking.racial, prejudice she meets among some of her lei-. low students, but, as she says, some of, them have never met anyone who is any-'
thing but white. At the moment, she is on holiday in . ■ . ;
America, a country she loves. So far she ■ has not come across the racism which lies j
like a cancer at the centre of that most blessed of nations. .When my wife and 11 visited the States five years ago, we only met a sign of it once in crossing from the east to west coast. We smiled at a little
boy with his parents and saw him look to,’ them to see if something was wrong. He, was black and, at two or three, clearly did, not expect smiles from white people. . So what can Ribble Valley Borough.
Council do, faced with the Holden Street, proposal, but pass the proposal as it stands, making it clear to local people that, it is for an educational centre and npt a mosque, leaving it to the decency of peo ple in the area to behave properly?
It would help if the council could do
fanmpt.hlng to address the traffic problems residents raised as a reason for their objec tions. The effect of parking charges on the Holden Street car park will have produced the same effects as elsewhere in the town centre and they will not help an issue like
And RVBC might start looking out for a
possible site for a mosque now, as a way of defusing a controversy that is bound tp occur sometime in the future. People who , take their religion as seriously as this •
group will clearly want a place to practise it in their own community as soon as their, congregation is of a size to support it. Clitheroe is their community and they have a right to practise their religion. TonyCliff
Langho vicar is to take up new post at Burnley
LANGHO vicar the Rev. Quentin Wilson is,to be the new priest-in- charge at St Peter’s Parish Church, Burnley, and will take up the post in
October. Mr Wilson (52), who was ordained in 1970, has been at St .Leonard’s Church for the past 13 years and takes over from1 Canon David Towers, who retires in Sep tember. Mr Wilson’s successor at Laiigho
has still to be appointed. “ I’ve spent more time in the, Ribble Val-
ley'than anywhere else since my ordina tion,” Mr Wilson .told the Advertiser and Times. “ I’ve had a wonderful time and am very grateful for my years in Langho. But for the sake of the parish and myself it is now time to move on to pastures new.” ■ After ordination Mr Wilson became curate at a parish ori the Isle of Dogs, in London’s East End. He has also been a curate in Muswell Hill in the capital, and succentor, sacrist and priest-vicar at Exeter Cathedral; In the early 1980s, he was a minor canon
at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. His responsibilities included the pastoral care of castle residents and estate workers in Windsor Home Park. A gifted organist, Mr Wilson (pictured) is a Fellow of Trini ty, College of Music and was responsible for arranging choral services during his
time at Windsor. He and his wife, Jackie, have two daugh
ters — Jennifer (20), a student of health studies at Manchester Metropolitan Uni versity, and Isobel (16), a pupil at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School.
Trio’s date with royalty
THREE members of the Clitheroe St John Ambulance movement had a
date with royalty when they repre sented the division at the of ficial ■ opening of the new Lancashire coun ty headquarters. Divisional Superintendent Phyllis
Cooke, Sergeant Harold Howorth and member Sarah Harris were among the representatives of uniformed members inspected by HRH the Duke of Glouces- :. ter, Grand Prior of the Order of St John.
. Sarah, of Pasturelands Drive, Billing- ton, talked to the Duke as he inspected the lines of members. At 17, she was the youngest adult member on parade. She has been involved with the organisation since she was six and is now qualified to teach cadets. Phyllis Cooke joined the Clitheroe
Division six years ago and took over as superintendent early this year. Our pho tograph shows Sarah, left, and Phyllis in the front row for the Duke’s inspection..
