CLITHEROE Community Hospital, which is run by CommuniCare NHS Trust, cares for members of the local community from age 16 upwards and is set in attractive wood­ ed grounds on the northern side of the town. It has 63 beds divided between three wards,


Hodder, Pendle and Ribble, and offers a wide variety of nursing and care by a team of dedi­ cated, fully-qualified and highly-skilled nurses. Under the supervision of their own GP, patients can be admitted from home, residen­


tial care or transferred from Blackburn and Burnley hospitals (how much better to be close to family and friends for the recuperation period of your hospitalisation). There is also a day hospital on the site,


(WADHAS). In a talk illustrated with

rapher, Odell, mounted a one-man rescue mission, trekking alone to the two­ some's highest camp. On finding no signs of them, Odell concluded that the pair must have slipped and fallen, a theory backed by the later discovery of one of their ice axes. A Chinese climber later


ry took a teaching post at Charterhouse School. He wrote a biography of Bosworth and married Ruth Turner in 1914, before serving in the Royal Artillery during the First World War. He returned to Charterhouse on discharge and in 1921 was recruited. to the first Everest expedi­ tion. He took a route from the

claimed to have come across a body in this area, but he died before he could be questioned further on his discovery, leaving the mystery to remain whether Mallory and Irving actual­ ly ever made it to the top of the world. The next WADHAS


meeting is a week today, Thursday, October 22nd, at 8 p.m. in Whalley Abbey. Guest speaker will be Mr John Barry with a talk entitled "Victoriana”. For further details, contact Mr Chris Ward on 01254 53866.


Band’s centenary concert wins special applause


THE major centenary concert pre­ sented by Slaidburn Silver Band proved a highlight of .its celebra­ tions. There was an excellent and appre­


ciative audience at the Centenaries Theatre, Stonyhurst. Conductor Mr John Cowking


introduced the items and there was special applause for a tricky cornet


solo by Barry Bleasdale. The band's sound has been given a


boost by the gift of twh brand new silver-plated basses. As previously reported, they have been donated by a regular visitor to the area who admires the band's work. The new instruments replace ones bought sec­ ondhand 20 years ago. Now everyone is looking forward


to a championship concert by the JJB Leyland Band in Clitheroe Civic Hall next month. Our picture shows Mr.Cowking


and some; of the band members - David Price, left, and concert guest and former member David Spencer are holding the new basses. (101098/16/12).......................

Not so very long ago, if anyone needed an


X-ray, it meant a long trip into Blackburn, but now Clitheroe Community Hospital has its own X-ray department and anyone needing a straightforward X-ray can have it done here. This has been a great help to both local people and medical staff in saving time and travel. A dental suite has also been established at


the hospital so that people who have special needs can be treated locally. Physiotherapy is also available at the hos­


mology, urology, gynaecology, general medi­ cine and orthopaedic clinics. In addition, Dr KateRhee, psychologist, holds a clinic weekly and Dr Perera holds a paediatric session twice

on offering a wide variety of services from fully- qualified and dedicated staff in a friend­ ly atmosphere.


A new approach to the humble teabag


DEMONSTRATIONS of teabag folding and parchment paper art were on display at a Sahden WI coffee and crafts


morning. One woman showed how to fold tea packets into differ­


ent designs, a new craft thought to have started in Hol­


land. Another demonstrated how she irons parchment-style


paper, coloured with wax, into various shapes to decorate


cards and gift tags. There was an extensive craft exhibition along with craft items made by WI members on sale. There was also cake


and produce stalls. Coffee and biscuits was served to all visitors. The event was well attended and there was a lovely


atmosphere. The fund-raiser was in aid of WI funds and about £110


was made. Our picture shows ladies from Sabden WI at their coffee


morning and craft fair. (190998/2/16a) BIRCHALL SHAW-
