Fire chief’s festive


warning LANCASHIRE'S Chief Fire Officer, Gordon Rus­ sel, is advising extra care in the festive season. ''Sadly we always seem to


have fire tragedies at this time of the year," he says. "Very recently a whole fam­ ily of five was killed by fire in our county, which stunned the local communi­ ty and our firefighters." Mr Russel pointed out


that risks are higher at Christmas. He said: "Tradi­ tional festive trappings such as decorations, wrap­ ping paper, candles, Christ­ mas trees and fairy lights are all potential fire haz


ards." A number of tips on fire


prevention have been giv.en by Lancashire County Fire Brigade,


installing a fire alarm, or checking an existing one; keeping lighters and matches out of the reach of children; and checking heating appliances before


including


going to bed. Mr Russel added: "I


hope that being more aware of fire and by following these simple rules, the com­ munity of Lancashire will have a Christmas that will be safe from fire."

Camera Club members show good form


THE Ribblesdale Camera


Club showed good form at an inter-club slide con­


te s t, finishing above halfway. I t was a cred­


itable result for a small group competing in the Lancashire arid Cheshire Photographic Union's knock-out, held at Chor-


ley.Clubs from as far away as the Isle of Man and Kendal were among the 41 competing, and four slides from each were judged by Mr David Gibbons. He is the president of the North and East Photographic Federation and had some­ thing positive to say about each picture. Ribblesdale's star was Mr Frank Barnes, whose dreamy image of buttercups and grasses got through to the last nine slides. The judge said he loved the picture, but he was forced to eliminate


something. At the club's own meet­


ing, there was a lot of fun with the results of the sum­ mer's "Pass the Camera" competition. The results of having the instrument for a week and being allowed to take four slides were fasci­ nating, particularly as all the members were in turn given the task of eliminat­ ing one slide out of the two presented to them on the screen. Eventually, the last three were reached and Mr Frank Holgate's very Chrismassy picture of a bottle of brandy and glass-, es by the fire was judged the winner. Ken Geddes was second and Doreen


Clark third. Next week is the Inter


Club Photographic Alliance's monochrome print folio, followed by the traditional mince pies and Christmas cheer.
