MORE than 100 people attended a thanksgiving service for the life of Mrs Gertrude Dewhurst held a t T r in i ty Me thodist Church,


Clitheroe. Mrs Dewhurst, a widow of Five Fells Cot­ tage, Kirkmoor Road, died last week aged 91. She was described by her friends and relatives as a “lady with a strong Christian faith who lived her faith m all she did”. The service was conducted by the

fish and chip business in Holden Street, Clitheroe, and later ran a similar shop in Woone Lane. In the 1940s, they moved to a large house in Railway View, where Mrs Dewhurst provided accommodation for people findmg themselves in distressful sit­ uations and, at the same time, provided a home for a foster child. “She was kind and caring m this work and

Tasty way to start the working day for these lucky pupils at Clitheroe’s Edisford Primary School


IT ’S a well-known fact th a t breakfast is the most impor­ ta n t meal of the day — and one Clitheroe school is re-enforc­


ing th a t point. Throughout this term


pupils at Edisford County Primary, School can go into school before lessons start to have their breakfast. Tea, toast and cereals are avail­ able to all youngsters from 8-35 a.m. to 8-45


a.m. every day. Kitchen staff at the school came up with the idea and the governors decided to give the scheme a try to see how pupils responded. Head teacher Mrs Mary Hallewell said: “We have had an average of about 30 children a day coming m for breakfast and we


expect more as the weath­ er gets colder. The chil­ dren are enjoying it and parents who work have said they think it is a good


idea.” The breakfasts have to be


paid for by the children, with tea and toast costing 20p and cereals and a drink 30p. The hungry youngsters are served by one of the kitchen staff, Mrs Christine Rothwell. I t is hoped that if the


scheme continues to be a success it will become a permanent fixture next


year. Mrs Hallewell contmued:


“We would be very pleased if the scheme con­ tmued, as we have had positive reactions to it. Even the teachers are thinking about coming in for their breakfasts now.” Our picture shows

the pupils. (CAT 13148) 4 'i
