Brother and sister dance stars are waltzing on water for dream cruise
RIBBLE VALLEY based brother and sis ter dance champions Stewart and Andrea Naim are taking to the high seas. They have danced in
many places, but never off dry land. The two are spending seven days on the Air-,
tours cruise shop MS Sundream, demonstrat ing their wide range of dances every night on the passage from Madeira to
Grenada. "It's a rather unusual
way of working your pas sage - the trip is free, because I work for Air- tours. But we cannot be paid, due to our amateur status," says Mr Naim
(23). He works on telephone

yet you do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father, why then do you say 'Show us the Father?' Do you believe me Philip, that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me?" Jesus said to his disciples: "The
words that I have spoken to you do not come from me. The Father who remains in me does his own work." With hindsight, there is nothing
in our Lord's words that we find strange, but hearing them for the first time, the disciples must have found them breathtaking and hard to take in. It was Thomas,.the one who was apt to doubt and. ask searching questions who bluntly asked: "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know
the way?" If he had not sought further
V
information like this, we might never have had the benefit of these words of Jesus being recorded by John. Thomas put into words what was puzzling the others and, by his questions, gave Jesus the opportu nity to clarify His message. Being slow to accept new ideas, Thomas asked -questions which Jesus answered and put us all in debt to Thomas by the enlightenment they
drew
forth.As he pondered over the words of
Jesus, prompted by Philip, Thomas like the others would be over whelmed by his thoughts. However, on being told of the first re-appear ance of Jesus on that first Easter Sunday evening when he had not been present, his re-action was typ ical of him, as he stated that unless he actually saw the nail marks and
put his hand in the wound in the side of Jesus, he would not believe. When, in his presence, our Lord appeared yet again, the response of Thomas was immediate for he cried out: "My Lord and my God.” To accept anyone as God was a
tremendqus undertaking, but once Thomas was convinced, he doubt- ed no longer. In past days we may each one of
us have known moments of mysti fication and doubt, - but,, like Thomas, in the face of the pre served recorded facts we can note the words of Jesus and joyfully accept the truth, to instinctively say together the first Christian creed. . . "Jesus is Lordl"..

Pl A^requent contributor to the Advertiser and Times letters page, Mr Cambien wrote in after finding a copy - of the Daily Telegraph, dating back to December 11th, 1936, hidden under the stairs. The headline read "King Edward Abdicates" and .the' news story went on to describe the popularity of the new Queen, now the
Queen Mother. After seeing his letter printed, Mr
Friends’ push for good cause
, CLITHEROE'S Friends of
Chernobyl's Children group has organised its final fund raising push of the year with a week of activities. The programme starts on
November 14th with a craft and gift fair at Clitheroe Parish Church. A talk by Barbara Bingham on "Highlights of Peru" will fol low on November 19th, again in the parish hall. Tickets are available from the parish office or on the door, priced £1. The final event will be a
quiz night on November 20th at St Michael and St John's Social Centre, Low- ergate, Clitheroe. Everyone is welcome, with the more teams the better. The cost of entering is £3 per person, including supper. Cash prizes will be awarded on the night and tickets are available from Maureen Holt (01200 427361) or Toni O'Donnell (01200
423019).
Cambien decided to send copies of the newspaper cuttings, and his letter to the Advertiser and Times to the Queen Mother herself and was delighted when, only nine days after publication, he received a reply from her lady-in-waiting. It said that the Queen Mother was
interested to read the snippets taken from the Daily Telegraph and that she was "very touched by the senti ments expressed by that newspaper
about Her Majesty”. ,■ -Mr Cambien (pictured) said: "I felt most honoured to receive the letter," and went on to joke, "arise Sir
. Edmond!" The letter will be treasured, along
with those he has written to other stars, including Norman Wisdom, Sir Richard Attenborough, Jimmy Edwards, Harry Secombe, Max Bygraves and Sir Laurence Olivier, to name but a few.

TIGHT-FISTED tea rooms and calculating cafes drive mq mad, writes Ben
really makes my blood boil IT’S A RUM DO . . .
Carlish.i Having enjoyed a morn
look at local happenings
ing driving around our beautiful valley with my Londonner father-in-law, we joined our 'ladies,' who had been out shopping, in a cer tain cafe that will remain
nameless. My wife and mother-in-
law were drinking some fine- smelling coffee from an ample-sized cafetiere. There was enough coffee left in it to make a sloth on tranquil lisers beat the land speed record. So we thought an extra couple of cups, to allow us to partake in the contents of their cafetiere, would not be too much to
ask. But apparently it was.
An embarrassed-looking waitress
explained to us that it was not company policy to pro
awkwardly
vide more than two cups for a two-person cafetiere. If we wanted two more cups we would have to have another cafetiere. And how many cups of coffee is one sup posed to decant from a two- person cafetiere? Eight according to the specifica tions of the manufacturer who makes the vessels in question - and we are not talking thimble-sized espresso cups here. Now call me petty, but four cups of the dark stuff at one sitting would make even the hardi est of coffee junkies' hair curl and eyes twitch. In defiance of such a nig

seemed like a great oppor tunity. Hopefully;; Lean reflect the views of ithe com munity through the job." “ An extensive knowledge
of the law is hot necessary, as the magistrates are given help and advice by the court clerk, but Mr Jagger has gained an insight into many areas of the law through his job at Ribble Valley Bor
ough Council. The whole process of
becoming a magistrate takes about a year and, after having his application seconded by a sponsor, Mr Jagger had to submit'details of his background and be interviewed by other quali fied magistrates. The final decision rested with Lan cashire County Council and the Duchy of Lancaster. Once he has completed
our mouths and we asked one of the acting managers what the rationale was behind this irritating policy. We were told the quality of the coffee meant that it was not cost effective to serve more than two people with one cafetiere.

He said: "They are quite happy for me to take part in this, even though I will have to miss work, but I would like to thank them for their support. Without them I could not do this."
