WHITEWELL was suffering from an outbreak of Scarlet Fever. There had been six cases notified to the medical officer, who immediately closed the school to prevent further spread. A well at Bolton-by-Bowland had received equally


stern treatment after its murky depths was believed to have had something distasteful lurking within. The officer suspected typhoid and placed notices to dis­ courage the public from drinking from it, pending analysis. He suggested that unless there was some means of cleaning it out, it should be condemned. Whatley’s annual October Fair was a successful occa­

LICENSEE of the Inn at Whitewell and keen angler Mr Harry Rhodes had landed himself a potential prize salmon from the River Plodder, just upstream from the hotel. He was hoping no-one else would beat the weight of 211b before the end of the salmon season a few days hence. The award was being made by the Whitewell Fishing Association for the biggest salmon caught in that stretch of the river that year. The previous season’s record was

Greenwood, John Parkinson, June Collinge and Derek Wellock, was hoping for stardom. It had just returned to the Valley after auditioning for a place on a forth­ coming series of the TV talent show, New laces. The group had been together for a year and had started out singing and playing folk music. Ilowevci, manager Mr Dave Barlow, of Hawthorne Place, Clitheroe, felt to play a more commercial type of music was the best way forward. The group practised three times a week and played at venues in and around the district around twice a week.
