Is little Hannah Hope the youngest TV celebrity - at


three hours old? AROUND three quarters of a million people joined in the celebrations shortly after a former ’ Ribblesdale School pupil gave birth to her first


child in East Anglia. Mrs Janette Liggins' daughter, Hannah Hope, was


bom in the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital at 3-03 p.m. on October 19th. Twenty seven minutes after the birth, her husband, Mike, received a telephone call from the newsdesk at "Look East." Hearing that the baby had been born, the news organiser asked if one of the cam­ eramen could take pictures for that evening's pro­


gramme. Mrs Liggins (nee Harrison) said yes. The cameraman


arrived and, just three and a half hours after the birth, pictures of Hannah Hope and her mother were broad­ cast to 750,000 people in the east of the country. Mrs Liggins, a former director of BBC's "Pebble Mill"


and "The Clothes Show", is the youngest daughter of Mrs Joyce Harrison, of Bolton-by-Bowland, and the late


Mr Peter Harrison. She met her husband at the BBC in Norwich, where


he works as a reporter and presenter for the regional news programme, "Look East." Now the couple are wondering whether Hannah


Hope's television appearance at the tender age of three and a half hours is a record and whether it might set the scene for a career, like those of her parents, in front of


the cameras. P i x i S F o t o Family Portrait Photography by =PARASOL=

Entertaining chat holds guild members captive


"ANECDOTES of a Policewoman and


Bailiff" was the title of a talk given to Clitheroe Afternoon Townswomen's Guild by court enforcement, officer Mrs Janet War­


ing. "Members were present­


ed with an extremely interesting and entertain­ ing talk," said a spokes­ women. "Mrs Waring is a tall person and says tha t she eats raw meat. In the Force she was referred to as M o r tic ia on th is account, and as a money collector, she was known by dubious people as 'a very dangerous lady'.


"She has a very witty


manner and kept the mem­ bers highly amused with her anecdotes about her days as both a police officer and bailiff, plus a few details of


her earlier activities. "She made light of a very


dangerous job and' we received a hew insight into the seamier side of life - a good talk, well given and appreciated by everyone." The speaker was thanked


by Mrs K. King. The meeting, opened by


the chairman, Mrs E. Spain, took place in the mutual room a t Clitheroe Parish Hall. Minutes were read by secretary Miss Doris Yates, the financial s tatement by treasurer Miss M. Campbell,'and the section report by Mrs M. Christie. Mrs Spain asked for vol­


,


unteers to sell Royal British Legion poppies at Booths superstore and received a


good response. Raffle winners were Mrs


Holden, Mrs Martin, Mrs Hancock and Mrs Gurvan. Tea and biscuits were served by the tea hostesses.

| Police called after eggs fly


YOUNG trick or treaters got more than they bargained for when they were pelted by eggs by an enraged Clitheroe


resident. Youngsters dressed up as witches and goblins on Hal­


lowe'en were knocking on people's doors asking for sweets in the Ilenthorn area, as many other children did across


the Ribble Valley. Traditionally people are supposed to give sweets to the . , ,,


would-be little ghosts and ghouls. But in the case of Andy and Jonathan Brunskill (both


nine) and their friend, Daniel, they were pelted with sev- eral eggs instead, with Jonathan being hit on the head by one The three fled and were so upset they went home. Mother Mrs Michelle Brunskill was outraged by what


happened.


The lads were not doing anything wrong, yet they ended up in a terrible state. I t totally ruined their evening,” she


"It's a disgrace for grown adults to behave in that way. , , . , . . ,


^Complaints from at least one other parent were received by the police, who went to the address of the egg pelters and advised the occupants to stop such behaviour imme­ diately or risk further action being taken.
