Street, has built the tank and bodywork of the high- ly-manoeuvrable vehicle, unveiled by MD Foods pic and haulage company S. J.
Bargh Ltd. The vehicle has a steering
system with three steerable
axles. Based on a design used
by MD Foods in Denmark, the eight-wheel tanker, which is unique in Britain, is only 30 inches longer than a standard six-wheeler, but can carry 25% more milk. "It's like getting a quart
into a pint pot," said MD Foods' farm transport man ager Mr Geoff Majme. "We can carry more milk, but the vehicle is more manoeu vrable than the old six wheeler. It is ideal for con fined farmyards and rural
roads.” Massey Tankers, which
has a 50-strong workforce, built the tanker and body work on a chassis manufac tured by Scania.

LOCAL MP Nigel Evans proved no match for the heavy weights from the Upper Chamber when he took part in the 12th annual House of Commons v House of
Lords tug of war. With the Houses of Par
liament as an impressive backdrop, the two teams took the strain to raise money for Macmillan Can cer Relief. The event was sponsored
by Taylor Woodrow, tlie international housing and property group, and raised £120,000 for people living
with cancer. Unfortunately, the
.
might of Nigel (pictured second right) and his team failed to halt the Lords, whoso combined weight topped the scales at a whopping 113 stones. And the Lords clocked
up their 12th consecutive victory.

Search for a home — and Lancashire hotpot
m
A JAPANESE girl with a "yen" for Lancashire hotpot is appealing to Clitheroe Advertiser and Times readers to provide her with acco modation^ during an
r t
exchange visit. Student exchange agency
Foundation for Foreign Study arranges for Japanese students to experience a taste of Lancashire living. One of the scholars from the East, Miss Yumi Yosi-
i ■ -'.J
da, is a member of a cook ery club. The 17-year-old teacher's daughter is reput edly a fan of English cuisine and keenly awaits her visit to the county in order to see how our famous hotpots are prepared. "I would love to know how to cook tradition al English meals," she said. The foundation, which
organisers say is non-profit making, places the students with host families in East Lancashire and, last year, a number of Clitheroe Adver tiser and Times readers acted as host families for some of the students. The students attend local
schools for an academic year, living as members and volunteers of their host families, who can expect support from regional co ordinators from the organi sation as well as from the central London office. Fam ilies are asked to provide board and lodging, but the students are given pocket money to cover extra costs. It is hoped that both fam
ily and student benefit from learning about each
other's culture. Prospective host families
are asked to contact 01253 822647 or the central office on 0171 8783540.
I Putting leaves on those
family trees
THE aim of tracing family history is not just to pro duce a family tree with names and dates, hut to put leaves on the tree. Each gen eration must be set in con text with the social history of the time. Some of us are fortunate
when we find diaries or let ters, etc., which help. Those of other people who lived and worked in the area which interests you can help.
The diary of Peter Walk- -f ’
den, a Nonconformist min ister, is such a document. Mr G. A; Foster spoke to the Ribble Valley Family Group July meeting about this gentleman's observa
tions and work. Peter Walkden loved gos
sip and also recorded his family life in some detail, thus leaving a lot of infor mative and detailed back ground to the mid-1700's. Not all his diaries sur
vive, as many were burnt, but the years 1733-5 are to be published. It was a thought-provok
ing talk which encouraged group members to research more broadly when tracing family trees. Later this month there is
an arranged outing and the next meeting is a members' evening in September.
Stonyhurst forges ahead with new technology
BOARDERS in Stonyhurst College's upper sixth form will return to a major new facility after the holidays. They will be able to

port staff _have been engaged and there are two separate information tech nology centres within the school.
