M an with a love of the land dies at the age of 68


A C LITHE ROE man who spent the happiest years of his life working on the land has died


after a short illness. Mr Richard (Dick)


Davies (68), who had lived for the past 13 years in West View, with his sister, Margaret, had worked as a labourer on several farms until his retirement. He was born and lived at


Kitchens Farm, Bashall Eaves, where he also worked, until moving on to Radholmo Laund Farm, in Whilewoll, whore ho spent the next 28 years. After the farmer retired, he took a job at nearby Lees Farm and, when the farmer moved to Carlisle, he moved too, spending nearly throe years there until being made redundant. Following the death of


his mother, Mr Davies moved to Clithoroe and was employed by Stalwarts as a sweeper for two years. He spent nearly every


day after retirement on his allotment, growing vegeta­ bles and flowers, and was well-known among his fel­


low gardeners. Mr Davies had been


healthy for most of his life until being diagnosed with diabetes four years ago. He discovered he had non-

Chairman to rescue with slide show of visit to Manchuria


MEMBERS of Ribblesdale Camera Club had a surprise change of programme when chairnian Mr Ken Geddes filled in at short notice for a lec­


turer who cancelled. I Ic presented a ^15-minute


audio visual show of slides from a visit to Manchuria and Inner Mongolia last November. The emphasis was on steam trains in the snow, with sunny weather but temperatures down to minus 27 centigrade. The .Jalainur opencast


coal mine was the olijeclive, with the mine manager allowing free access to the 6km by 3.5km site which worked more than 40 steam locomotives. T he crews wore very friendly and a two-and-a-half hour ride was given in the caii of one of the engines used to pull coal and waste rock out of the 400ft deep pit. The next destination,


after a 36-hour train and bus journey, was Resuitang, a small hot springs resort town north of Chifeng, in Inner Mongolia. Here, the recently opened railway line [[^i;ks Manchuria with the far north west of China by running through the foothills of the mounUuns in the south of the Gobi desert. The destination was the highest point of the line at the Jing Peng Pass. Here, the line climbs steeply to over 3,000ft by a series of loops, passing over many


liridges and through a series


of tunnels. The sight of loaded,


quarter-mile-long freight trains hauled through attractive hilly countryside by pairs of the magnificent Cliina Rail Q.l class locomo­ tives, one of the most mod­ ern, efficient and attractive engines ever designed, stirs the imagination. It is fortu­ nate that modern film and digital recording is availalilo to capture the scenes and allow them to be shared with others. The new clubroom exhi­


bition is by member Mr John West ERPS. His set of digitally-modified pictures, with various degrees of computer-generated change from the original, have all been internationally exhib­ ited, many being awarded gold medals as the best from an entry numbered in


tliousands. It will be interesting to


hoar the comments of next week's guest, Mr Bob Stephenson PRPS, from Gorton, Manchester, who has recently established a society and competition for what ho describes as "Real Photography." The meeting is on Tuesday at 7 30 p.m. in the Chatburn clubroom.
