Boy kicking sign is caught in the act


A BOY kicking pieces off a sign in Whaliey was well and truly caught - a passer-by photographed him in the act. The coming of better weather has caused an increase m


pranks and minor damage in the area. The boy was arrested by the police after he caused £50


worth of damage to the timber words on the mam sign outside Calderstones Hospital. After being interviewed he was cautioned about ms


behaviour. The caution will count against him if there is any further trouble.


But police are still trying to find out who made holes m the roof of Pendleton Brook Day Centre, George Street,


, •


and damaged the ceiling. The damage cost £80 to repair.

has died suddenly aged 74 Mr Cyril Hooley, well


known all over the Kib­ ble Valley for his exper­ tise w ith househo ld appliances, met b and ­ leader Glenn M i l le r when he played the saxo­ phone in an Army band. The two men spoke


briefly, not long before the American vanished. Just a few years later, Mr Hooley had an experience of a dif­ ferent kind - he helped collate files for the Nuremburg trials and saw some o f the infamous defendants. But his most dramatic,


historically significant con­ tribution was in the Nor­ mandy invasion. He drove a lorry ashore on its second day and was with the Allied advance into Europe. Born in the same house


as his mother in the St James's area of Clitheroe, Mr Hooley (pictured) was in thfe office of Preston Farmers until joining the


Army. ' ' After the war he became


one of the well-remembered team of Hoover technicians covering a wide area installing, maintaining and repairing electrical appli­ ances. He travelled as far as Bentham, sometimes to remote farms which had only just got an electricity


supply. Later Mr Hooley estab­


lished his own business and

— -— AN electrical engineer who had an eventful war


ONE of Britain's lead­ ing farming figures, NFU deputy president Mr Tony Pexton, heard many views on the industry's situation when he visited the


Ribble Valley. M r P ex ton was the


guest speaker at a semi­ nar at M y t to n Fold Farm H o te l , Langho, organised by chartered


1 a c cou n ta n ts Porter, Matthews and Marsden and animal feed special­


ists Dugdale's. Mr Pexton warned farm­


ers that they would be less insulated from the market place in future. Factors influencing this


became renowned for his willingness to advise people on any technical problem. He worked until he was


nearly 70, and since then had followed his hobbies of attending big band concerts and visiting steam railways. By a remarkable co-inci­


dence, his wife was the 100,00th passenger on a pri­ vate railway in the Ardennes and the couple were feted by the owners. Mr Hooley was allowed to travel on the footplate, hav­ ing previously driven through the area during the war in far different condi­


tions. Mr Hooley had appar­


ently been in good health and his death was a great shock to his wife, son, other relatives and a wide circle of friends. The funeral service was at St James's Church, Clitheroe, on Friday, fol­ lowed by cremation at Accrington.

A FAIRYTALE scene came to the streets of Waddington when May Queen Natalie Conti stepped into a horse- drawn carriage for a proces­


sion to welcome the May. The whole village turned out


on May Day Bank Holiday to watch the procession, which included Natalie's retinue and a large group of maypole dancers from Waddington and West


1 Bradford CE School, all charm­ ingly decked out in ceremonial


attire. It was part of the annual village


fair, an ambitious festival of events billed this year as the "biggest, longest and best" on record. The sun added itS golden bonus


to the procession and the girl attcii7 dants and dancers wore flowers in their hair and carried bouquets of


spring blooms. Wearing a beautiful full-length


gown with puff sleeves, Natalie (12), a pupil at Bowland County High School who lives in the vil­ lage, was crowned by Mrs Kath Clithcroe, a former member of St Helen's Social Committee, organis­


ers of the festival. The ceremony took place on the


village croft, behind the church, fol­ lowing a procession led by Barnoldswick Boys’ Brigade Band. Two of the biggest tasks were


carried out by Mrs Kath Warbur- ton, who made the children’s out­ fits, and Mrs Jean Parsons, who trained the maypole dancers. A marquee, erected on the croft,


was the centre of activities, which began with a children's disco on Friday, followed by a 'sixties and ' seventies boogie night on Saturday, and a Jazz-on-the-Croft session by the Pendlo Jazz Men on Sunday. It culminated with the spring


fair day on Monday, including maypole dancing on the croft, side shows, games, races, stalls, tea tent and a licensed bar. "The whole fair was an outstand­


ing success, with many people attending all the events" said social committee secretary Mrs Mary Ann Renton. "We are still working out the profits, but we are expect­ ing to have done very nicely." Most of the process will go to St Helen's, but money raised from the Boogie Night will go to the school. Our picture shows the May


Queen, with her retinue and the maypole dancers. (030599/06/10)

THE month began in a typical April way, with warmer spring­ like weather and showers on most days. There was a distinct change on the 12th, with a real taste of winter. There was sleet on the 13th and night frosts


until the 18th. The remainder of the month


became warmer, particularly for the last week when temperatures rose to the low 60s.

look to the costs of all inputs, fertilisers, machin­ ery, veterinary supplies and the rest, as well as the returns obtained from prod- ing a differentiated product ucts," declared Mr Pexton. aimed at a specific part of "This is turn means we


will have to look for a higher value for our produce. But the question facing us is,


how to do that." Mr Pexton suggested


that it could be by produc- the market place, such as


out:"Of course this will entail us not only supplying the product but having the


organic. Or it could mean ability to supply it when farmers combining with fel- the market wants it, in the low producers to supply the quantities it wants it, at the market with what it needs, price it wants it and so on. Mr Pexton pointed "I t is vital that we all
