Fan of Edmond’s stories writes to say thanks for news from home


A MESSAGE praising the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times and one of its regular contributors has winged its


way from South Africa. Clitheroe exile Mrs Valerie


Carter, writing from her home in Roodopoort, explains that she is a great fan of veteran thespian Mr Edmond Cambien, whose theatre recollections and comments about local life often appear on our let­


ters page. In her letter to Mr Cambien,


she says: "For some years now, I have been intending to write to


you to let you know how very much I enjoy reading your anec­


dotes in the Advertiser and Times. When I read the letters page, I


always scan it first to see if your name appears.” Mrs Carter, who emigrated to


..


South Africa more than 20 years ago, is the daughter of Mr Ronnie and Mrs Veronica Grimshaw of Siddows Avenue, Clitheroe. She explains how she has read

stalls, Mr McNamco is hop­ ing that a substantial sum will have been raised for the village Millennium Fund. Mr McNamee, a captain


on one of the freight ferries at Heysham, was at home earlier in the year when vil­ lagers were discussing fund­ raising. Several people said that, after an absence of a few years, it would bo nice to have a steam and vintage vehicle display again. "I looked a t my diary, and realised I would be at home," recalls Mr McNamco, who expressed his sincere thanks to all the people who had helped in the organisation of the event and the sponsors for their support. "People have really worked together and the staff a t the Hark to Bounty Inn have worked like Trojans from Friday night to Sunday night. I'll bo surprised if there's any beer left," quipped Mr McNameo on Monday. Saturday night saw peo­


ple packing the Hark to Bounty for folk singing with Phil Knight. With admission to the

A YOUNG cerebal palsy to keep up to speed with Clitheroe fire-fighters. Sixleen-month-old Jessi­


ca Stone, who was only diagnosed with the illness


in January of this year, was presented with a cheque for £200 after a group of local fire-fighters took part in the Three Peak Challenge - Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike - as well as other fund-raising activi­ ties, to raise money for the Fire Service Benevolent


Fund. The money will be used to


buy a specially-adapted trike so that Jessica will bo able to join in with her sister, Geor­ gia, when she is old enough to ride her first bike. Jossiai's mum, Mrs Katri­

Butchers are under threat from charges


A LOCAL countryside campaign group has accused the Ministry of Agriculture of failing to consult butchers ade­ quately on the impact of meat inspection


charges. The Country Landown­


ers' Association says, while it welcomes the Govern­ ment's commitment to review the impact of the charges, it believes that the proposed legislation will not enhance consumer confi­ dence and could drive more butchers out of business. Mr Jolyon Dodgson,


Lancashire and Cumbria GLA regional director, believes that small business­ es will be hit by the pro­ posed legislation, which the Government has to formu-


late as a result of Brussels' directives. But he wants the Government to adopt simi­ lar systems to the majority


of other European Union member states whereby charges are calculated per head of cattle slaughtered, rather than on a flat rate. He said: "Under the cur­


rent proposals for the UK, small businesses - most of them in rural areas - will have to close because of the costs. Many small abattoirs have already gone and this is bad news for the small producer, trying to diversify his business, who might only want a handful of lambs, or one beast, or two or three pigs slaughtered. The big abattoirs located in towns and cities, many miles away, would not be interested in dealing with small numbers." He accused the Govern­


ment of failing to stand by its commitment to foster diversified sustainable agri­ culture and called for an independent inquiry into the way in which meat hygiene regulation is con­ ducted in the UK. He added: "At a time


when farmers are being encouraged to diversify by opening shops to sell pro­ duce and when farmers' markets are being opened to enable them and other pro­ ducers to sell direct to the public, cutting out the mid­ dleman, we are bound to feel concerned about increased charges and more red tape."


Approval for new roof at arcade

Court did not stop permis­ sion being granted for a new roof and storage area at the arcade in King Lane, Clitheroe. Officials told members of


Ribble Valley Borough Council Planning and Development Committee th a t the former Norweb building, now an electrical store, would be improved by


the work. Residents felt there


would be a loss of privacy but officials said th a t obscure glazing on any now windows would meet this objection. Coun. Stephen Sutcliffe commented: '"This is a spectacularly horrible building and the the work will make it look a good deal better," and Mr D. J. Parker's application was approved.
