DOGS found wander­ ing the street should only be caught and handed over to police if they show signs of dis­ tress, according to local


officers. A number of healthy


dogs have been taken into the police station in King Street, Clitheroe, by con­ cerned members of the pub­ lic. Yet limited facilities mean their stay there is lim­ ited to a day, before they are taken to Aspen Valley Kennels, Oswaldtwistle. Said a police spokesman:


"The kennels keep dogs for eight days before trying to re-home them. If a new home is not found, they may be destroyed. In some cases a healthy dog taking itself for a walk could be put at risk. "While we appreciate the


public's concern for ani­ mals, we would ask that only dogs showing signs of distress, mistreatment or at risk of causing an accident, are brought to us."


Pair charged with church burglary


TWO Birmingham men have appeared before Blackburn magistrates charged in connection with burglaries in East Lan­ cashire. Kevin Atta (35), of


Ryton Grove, Birmingham West, and Jason Tustin (30), of Anglesey Avenue, Birmingham, were charged with burglary at Gisburn Parish Church with intent to steal, and burglary at the Royal Oak garage, Clay- ton-le-Dale, and theft of a payphone, cigarettes and cash, together worth £340. The magistrates directed


that both men should stand trial at Preston Crown Court and they were remanded in custody until


June 23rd. Boost from


summer fair PARENTS of tiny tots who attend Ribblesdale Nursery School, Clitheroe, organised a successful sum­ mer fair in aid of the school's reading room fimd. As well as raising £627.50, it provided a


social occasion for the local community. "Lots of pupils, former pupils, friends and grannies turned up to give their sup­ port, and the weather was good," said teacher Mrs


Lyn Rider. "Parents connected with


the Friends of Ribblesdale Nursery School put a lot of hard work into the day - and did a wonderful job." The event was held in the


school grounds and there was a host of stalls and

doliwers for choice with two fine destinations


THE Clitheroe group of the Ramblers' Association had the choice of two walks through outstanding local scenery. Both walks, held last


Wednesday, started at the stepping stones across the Hodder, below The Inn at Whitewell. After crossing the river, both groups went on to New Laund Farm. 'The shorter walk of


approximately three miles, led by Norman Thorpe,


carried on to Burholme Bridge and followed the new concessionary path


back to Whitewell, with the walkers enjoying some remarkable views.


' The five-mile circular walk, led by David Walters, included views over the Hodder and surrounding fells and went through Fair Oak and Higher Greystone- ly Farms and down to Stakes to cross back over the Hodder. "It was a relief that the


stepping stones at Stakes were well clear of water, contrary to last year when the stones were submerged, leading to a considerable diversion,"


cent views of the Hodder, Dunsop Bridge and the


Ribble plain to Preston. The ramblers had a


warm, sunny day for their Tuesday walk, from Rim-


ington to Ings End. They walked past Hollins


Farm, where hummocks still remain from the 16th Century lead mines of Sir William Pudsay, of Bolton Hall. It was there that he extracted silver from the ore to make counterfeit


shillings. From Ings End it was up


over the fields to Clough Head and the Bulcock Memorial and then on to Rimington Moor. The moor was not as


said a


spokesman. After traversing the Hod­


der, the walk crossed a ford at Lower Lees and pro­ gressed past Ing and Laund Woods to Seed Hill to return to Whitewell. This walk had magnifi­


boggy as feared, apart from one tricky crossing of deep mud and reeds, as the group waiked eastwards aiong the edge to the Bale Hill. This was the lunch stop, with a good view of Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent. They then walked down to Whytha Road, along to Middop Hall and across pastures to Howgill and Howgill Beck in the direc­ tion of Rimington Bridge. From there the path took


the group north-west oyer newly-mown fields to Rim­ ington Lane and on to Great Dudland. They next went down the fields to Stankhill Bridge and then back up to Rimington.


Thumbs up to these cycling superstars!


a l l nine of the participating students from Grindleton C.E. County Primary School have passed their cycling


^™'The long-running scheme for Year 6 pupils provides road safety advice for cycle users. After passing a theory test, the participants had to spend an hour-and-a-quarter every morning for a week doing practical exercises with their instructor, Mr Brian Nightingale, of Pendle Borough Council. This culminated in a final test on Friday, after which the proud students were presented with their


cycling proficiency certificates. Pictured are Mr Nightingale and the successful pupils, . , -i

Double funeral for couple who died within a week of each other


RELATIVES calling to pick up a well-known Clitheroe man for the funeral of his wife faced the shock of discover­ ing that he too had


died. Mr John Metcalfe had


looked after his wife, Phyl­ lis, up to her death and had insisted he was all right the day before her funeral, due to be a week yesterday. After the tragic discov­


ery, Mrs Metcalfe's funeral was cancelled, and a double ceremony was arranged instead. It was due to take place yesterday at St James's Church, Clitheroe, followed by interment in the same grave at Clitheroe


Cemetery. Although naturally


enough affected by his bereavement, Mr Metcalfe (85) had apparently been in good health for his age, and so his death from natural causes came as a great shock to everyone. An old boy of CRGS, Mr


Metcalfe was a keen cross­ country runner in his


I youth. During the war, he built


1 on his hobby of electronics by working with the devel­ oping radar systems adopt­ ed by the RAF. He spent a lot of time in India and Burma and after the war carried on using similar skills, this time at Milliard's. He worked there for more than 30 years, and was in charge of the test boards.


Bike stolen


A HONDA quad bike, worth £1,000, stolen from a farm at Grindleton was later recovered. Police are still looking for a £500 power washer and a Stihl saw taken at the same time, early on Thursday morn­


ing. Mr Metcalfe is believed


to have been only the sec­ ond person in Clitheroe to build his own television set, and well into retirement would help people keep their equipment going. He was also a skilled


engineer, and moved from motor cycles to three- wheelers - he was a familiar figure driving round the area in his Reliant right up


to his death. Mr Metcalfe had a life-


iong association with St James's Church, and had been a sidesman, the church treasurer and a school gov­


ernor. His wife hjid worked at St


James's School, Clitheroe, for a total of 32 years with various job titles as the school meals service


changed. As headteacher Mr John


Hindmoor emphasised


when she retired in 1978, the many generations of children Mrs Metcalfe had looked after remembered her patience, kindness and concern for their welfare. Sometimes the children


of people she remembered from their days at St James's came to the school. A native of Notting­


hamshire, Mrs Metcalfe came to this area on her marriage after the war - during which she had been a Red Cross nurse. She and her husband lived for a time at the family grocery shop in Woone Lane, Clitheroe. Mrs Metcalfe was in the St James's Women's Fellow-
