29th, 1927 eclipse. Our callers agreed entirely with the report m


the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, which was headlined: "Stay at homes favoured; Futile trek


to the fells." But at the time none had realised ]ust how


many people had crowded on to various high vantage points around the Kibble Valley. Our estimate was 50,000 "instructed and interested" viewers on Waddington Fell alone and although there were fewer cars about then, traffic in some of the villages was "phenonemal", with lines of vehicles parked on vantage points. But the sad reality was that folk who stayed


at home, on lower ground, in general had a bet­ ter view due to a cloud blocking the sun than those who climbed higher. There was devastat­ ing disappointment for everyone at the world- famous Stonyhurst College observatory, because the cloud was between it and the sun

A challenging new role awaite former village girl Rebecca


A keen exponent of


village life. Miss Rebecca Wood, has


a wonderful opportunity to create a new social dimension in small com­ munities all across Lan­ cashire and Cumbria! And she can also do the


same in towns! Brought up in Wadding­


ton, though now experienc­ ing relatively urban life in Clitheroe, Miss Wood (28) has been a nursing assistant at the Calderstono's forensic service for several years. But now she has been appointed to a really chal­ lenging, loads-of-scope post: community development worker for the charity Phab in Lancashire and Cumbria. The name used to stand


for Physically Handicapped and Able Bodied, liut this type of language is now avoided. However, Phab is sticking with the acronyni, as it is so well-known in many urban places, though not in the Ribble Valley. Based in Croydon, the


organisation runs leisure clubs where people with or without cliallenging mental or physical problems can meet and enjoy thomselvos with a variety of activities as one way of integrating into the wider community. People with no special prob­


lems often join to put some­ thing back into the world. Top people supporting


Phab over many years include Lord Snowdon, Rolf Harris and Sir Cliff Richard, and there are suc­ cessful junior and senior clubs in places such as


Burnley. "But money is available


to start clubs anywhere, and we are keen to get some going in rural areas," says Miss Wood. "If anyone has any ideas, I will be pleased to discuss them. We will not allow venue, transport or any other problems to stand in the way. The organisa­ tion is well resourced with both money and experience to put on any activities the members want. Newcomers like myself can quickly obtain any advice or sup­ port needed." A former pupil at


Waddington and Bowland schools, Miss Wood earned a degree in community and youth studies at St Martin's College, Lancaster, before working at Calderstones. She liad a holiday job at


Ribble Valley Estate Agents in King Street, Clitheroe, for some years. Now Miss Wood is just


finishing a University of Central Lancashire M Sc

although boys on a cricket pitch 100 yards away had a perfect view. It was the same for people on


higher ground. But our report said that the spectacle was


enjoyed in all its beauty by people in Clitheroe itself - "the big, black solid looking ball of the moon hung in the sky with a film of cloud about it and with filmy, pearly wreaths beyond. It came in a flash and ended as suddenly. The twenty seconds of darkness was staggeringly brief - it was all over before many had realised


it had occurred." People in Whalley also had a good view but


the Guides were taking no chances - they went up Pendle Hill, recalls Mrs Julia Carter. She had a status impossible to achieve today -- an ordinary Guide who also had a full time job, running two looms at the Judge Walniosley Mill. A member of the Sutton family, within 15 years she experienced a much woisc fiery expc


rience, seeing the London docks burning during the blitz.

vivid memory of the way the none-too-warm early morning got distinctly colder despite the fact that the sun was completely blotted out for only about 22 seconds. Our report picked up this point, indicating several different views. Someone on Worsaw Hill reported that the won­ derful works of the Almighty were shown and that the temperature fell a few degrees, but at Stonyhurst College the temperature "practical­ ly remained constant." Some obervers there said it was colder but the astronomers thought it was

course and is writing a dis­ sertation on self-injurious


behaviour. She does not know how


many people applied for her job, but feels that her degrees and strong commit­ ment to rural life stood her in good stead. "But I will be starting


new clubs or trying to build up existing ones in towns as well as villages all across the two counties, though the cities have their own workers," she says. Anyone with ideas for a


possible club can contact Miss Wood on 01200 428166.

sat at the feet of Gamaliel, a well-


known Jewish teacher. Paul expressed his disapproval in


no uncertain terms. He saw that folk who believed that they could gain merit with God by following a strict set of rules and regulations would believe that they were earn­ ing their way into eternal life, and realise tlieir need for the salvation won for them on Calvary's cruel


cross. The Jews claimed to be God's

even though he was a Jewish Rabbi, who in his student days had


chosen people because they wore the descendants of Abraham, but Paul said that the only true chil­ dren of Abraham were tliose who were men of great faith, like his, who were prepared to live by it. Our witness of our faith is seen in the way we live and react to life's snags.


In Paul’-s second letter to Timo- ■


U:y, chap. 1. v. 9-15, he urges liim to bring Mark willi him. "For lie is profitable to me for the ministry." He valued Mark as a good helper. Young John Mark had always lived in the heart of the early Cliristian Churcli. It w:is at Llie liome of John Mark tlial Peter went on ids deliv­ erance to the prison. That house was the central mooting place in Jerusalem. Mark had set out with Paul to find Ids uncle, Barnabus, on tlio first missionary journey. How­ ever, tlio lad w:is scared and proba­ bly homesick on that venture of dangerous possibilities, and went back liomo. Paul was sorry about this and


when Barnabus wanted to take him witli him on his second missionary


journey, Paul would have none of it. Ho did not want a spineless deserter on his team. This led to a disagreement between them, so fierce that they split up and were not recorded as working together as a team again. Tradition has it that Mark went


to Egypt and was the founder of the Christian Church there. I recall worshipping in the church of St Mark in Alexandria. As Paul drew near to the end of


his life, he had second opinion of Mark who had eventually made good in Paul's view, to be valued now as a good fellow worker, filled with the Holy Spjrit, and to


become a new man in Christ. Joe Stansfield
