wind farms with pride I WAS sorry to see that two of our local MPs, Nigel Evans and Gordon Prentice, are joining forces to oppose the erection of 12 wind turbines on Burns Moor (Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, October 22nd). Whether one likes windmills or not is only an


attitude of mind. The cost of electricity in the home is


cost. Yet this cost can be minimised by using


renewable energy sources, of which wind­ mills are one, and, until technology devel­ ops better means of generating our elec­ tricity, they may be the best alternative to building a conventional generator using coal, oil, gas or nuclear energy as fuel. Have we the right in the Ribble Valley to


two-fold. The first cost is the amount you pay the supply company, which is NOR- WEB for most. People we might not know and have not even met take up the second

react to narrow, parochial views, maybe to win the next election. Where wind farms have been built, most


local people regard them with pride and when they look out at the scene they are pleased to think they are doing their bit for everyone on this planet. Maybe that is a good way to look at


them. But even if you hate the sight of windmills, you can say to yourself "at least they won't do me any harm", and you can't say that about most forms of electricity generation!

turn down the possibility of a wind farm when people throughout the world are suf­ fering from pollution, global warming and radiation, not to mention the problems closer to home? I am sure most people now have friends who are suffering from the pol­ lution diseases of asthma, bronchitis, cataracts and skin growths. It would be famous if our leaders could appreciate the whole picture rather than


villagers of progress and, if the writer had taken the trouble.to attend one or more of these meetings, it would be clear in his/her mind why the new,ball has to be built on a. different site., To Aise f 300,000 is a mam­ moth task in itself, but it is also a condition that we ourselves have to have a sizeable contribution towards the cost. Consequently, the existing site has to be


sold to raise the necessary money, but we all would have preferred to build on the existing site had it been possible. I do,not. understand the writer's reference to "some­ one who has only been in the village for two minutes." I and my family have been in this village for generations arid were it not for the dedicated hard work of the steering committee no progress could have been made and at is they who are trying to ensure that future generations can contin­ ue to enjoy village amenities which our forefathers left us. If the writer is a true, Chippin'er, I won­ der what the rest of us are?


JEFFREY RICH, Chairman, Chipping Village Hall Committee,


long as he/she stated and had the interest of the village hall at heart, he would know that I have been closely associated with the hall as a committee member continuously since 1972. I t was this committee which decided to look into the possibilities of building a new hall and a steering commit­ tee was established to find ways and means of raising the necessary money. Several public meetings have been held to inform


Launch time for trail-blazing transport idea


by Sheila Nixon


A TRAIL-BLAZING com­ munity transport scheme for the Ribble Valley has been launched in Clitheroe. The project, subsidised


by grants of more than £35,000 from the National Lottery Charities Board and the Rural Development Commission, is aimed at providing a network of accessible transport for use by all the borough's com­ munity groups. The flagship for the pro­


enthusiastic send-off at a ceremony at Clitheroe Cricket Club, when Mr Chris Kolek, of the Rural Development Commission, presented a "Key to a Bet­ ter Service" to commemo­ rate a £24,000 grant from the commission's Rural Transport Development Fund. The grant has gone a

How to reduce


your‘junk mail’ I AM writing with reference to a let­ ter entitled "Emotional charity blackmail?" which appeared in the


Clitheroe Advertiser and Times on


question when she receives letters from charities asking for donations, which is often done in a rather underhand way. ■ Help in reducing this type of mail (often


October 15th. ■ I can fully sympathise with the lady in


referred to as "junk mail") can be obtained by registering your name and address with a company called the Mailing Preference Service. This service offered is provided free of charge. Once registered, your name arid address will appear on a list of people who do not wish to receive this type of mail. The majority of reputable compa­ nies, which includes charities, receive these lists and will remove your name from their


'mailing list if your name appears'on it.3 It should be noted that it may take a few


months before the amount of "junk mail" you receive starts to decrease. However, once you have registered you may ..only receive a very tiny amount in the long


term. The Mailing Preference Service can be


contacted by telephoning 0345 034599 or, if you prefer, write to them at Mailing Pref­ erence Service Ltd, Reef House, Plantation Wharf, London, SW11 3YF. I hope this will be of some use for the


writer's mother and anyone else who is troubled by the receipt of this kind of mail.

‘First’ for firm


A NEW system of buy­ ing animal feeds has been tried on 50 farms this summer by local firm B. Dugdale and Son Ltd. I t is designed to produce


a cow's first 20 litres of milk more cost-effectively and the company is claiming it as a first. It says that farm­ ers are given greater control and flexibility in both nutri­ ents and price, and that a selected mix effectively bal­ ances the shortfalls of ener­ gy and protein in silage.

GHOST and sound expert Simon Entwistle is spreading his


influence. On Saturday he will be inter­


viewed live on satellite television and people from America are con­ tacting him about his recent radio


broadcast there. Nearer home, Mr Entwistle is


having occasional breaks from his day job gardening for the council to act as a coach tour guide. Already he has travelled on several day trip vehicles, to explain the finer


points of the Ribble Valley as the vis­ itors cover many miles through vil­ lages and countryside. "The first group I escorted round


asked about coming again all the way from Stoke-on-Trent, so I was very encouraged," says Mr Entwistle. "I am very keen to play a-part in build­ ing up our tourism and am grateful to Mr Graham Whipp and Mrs Mary Parker at the council for the chance to act as a guide." This week is exceptionally busy for


be seen on Granada's "Livetime" show, beamed all across the country by satellite. The interview is scheduled to last five minutes. As we reported, major American


news station CBS broadcast a talk with him to several parts of the states - within a few days he had heard from smaller stations in Dallas and Brook­ lyn, and has also had an approach from ORF Radio, Ireland. "The weather has spoiled many of
