A M E E T ING at Blackpool circus nearly 70 years ago led to the marriage of Mr and Mrs George Clark, who celebrated their golden wedding anniversary last


weekend. The visit to Black­ pool, when the then six-


year-old George met his bride-to-be, Betty, then five, took place during George's annual holi­ day to Bolton-by-Bow- land from his home near York. The pair remained friends throughout their child­ hood years and began courting following the


end of World War Two. Mr Clark, who will be 76


next week, served on the A t la n t ic 'R u n , 'with the


Merchant Navy, while Mrs Clark (74) served in the WRAF at various bases in


Britain.The couple married at St Peter and St Paul’s CE Church, in Mrs Clark's home village of Bolton-by- Bowland, and lived there and at Low Mnor before moving to their present home in Eshton Terrace,

A "GREAT deal" of extra work will fall on the local council fol­ lowing the new crime


bill, say officials. A report to the. Ribble


Valley Borough Council Policy and Finance Com­ mittee explains that the bill imposes the need for a , crime audit, crime action plan and crime strategy A partnership has to be formed with other public agencies, adding to the time and therefore cost


involved. But, says the report:


"The Government has made it clear that there will be no extra resources for local authorities to implement the Crime and


EN VARET OUTDOOR WORLD


Disorder Bill. I t claims that any costs incurred will


be financed from savings made by a better target- ting of resources." The bill becomes law


next month, and following its requirements will


depend partly on crime fig­ ures from the police, which will need careful analysis. There has already been a useful meeting with the force and others


planned. Further reports will be


made to councillors as the process gets under way.

THE East Lancashire Scanner Appeal has crashed through its £1 million target set more than two years ago. Now standing a t


to treat patients from the Ribble Valley and East Lancashire next month. Jubilant health chiefs


£1,017,490, the appeal fund has been boosted thanks to kind-hearted people throughout the Ribble Valley and East Lancashire, who continue to raise and donate money, including Black­ burn pensioner Mr Albert Riley, who died in March


this year, aged 97. Mr Riley left all his


money to charity, with a staggering £50,000 bequested to the Super- Scan Appeal. He took a lively interest in the appeal by reading all the reports and was fascinated that the scanner would offer a better diagnosis. His wish was that younger people would really feel the benefit. That wish has now


and organisers of the appeal have aptly sent a heart-felt "Thanks a mil­ lion” message to the thou­ sands of fund-raisers, who have made the arrival of the new scanner possible. The chairman of the
