weary were busy trying to re-boot their careers, which had been com­ pletely disrupted by world events. It was, thus, left to the women to run such services as the Food Flying Squad (FFS), which many did, glad forjthe opportunity to learn new skills, as well as continuing to do their bit for the country. I t bred a great sense of cama­

A ROTARIAN from the Ribble Valley has been

Peter Laszlo, of Waddington, led a Rotary exchange trip to the East Caribbean three years


ago. I t involved several young local professional . Clitheroe. The group visited six communities and in one . . .
