FIRST the good news - the Prime Minister has postponed the date of the local elections and hence the date of the General Election. Next the bad news - the


date of the local and proba­ bly the General Election will be June 7th. The obvious question is


The fact is that no one in


that if the elections have been postponed due to the crisis of foot and mouth, then who is brave enough to . predict that the crisis will be over in June? I believe tha t the local


elections should have been postponed for a longer peri­ od and the General Elec­ tion does not need to be held until May 2002. The flexibility of not


naming June 7th as the election date means tha t the Prime Minister could have strained every sinew concentrating on eradicat­ ing the disease - without any distraction of an impending General Elec­ tion.

Village is all set for a REAL celebration


CHILDREN in Clith­ eroe are due for a rubbish


Easter holiday. At least, they will if they


sign lip for the newly-formed PG Club, based at the Grand Cinema. The two club days - on


Tuesday, April 10th, and Thursday, April 19th, - will involve artist Matt Roby, of


Wigan. He will help them make


sculptures from rubbish, on the first day, of a chicken, to coincide with the showing of the film "Chicken Run", on the second day, of a dinosaur, to prelude the showing of the film "Dinosaur". Each day begins a t 9-30


a.m. and, after a packed lunch, there will be VIP seats and bags of popcorn and a showing of one of the films. The club is a pilot project


for a programme they hope to run twice a week during the summer holidays. Places on the PG Club need


to be booked in advance by calling Elaine or Katherine on


01200 414556. Pictured are some examples


of the sculptures of rubbish made by Mr Roby.

A further foot and mouth


casualty as show is cancelled THIS year's Goosnargh and Longridge Agricul­ tural Show has been can­


celled. The event was scheduled


to take place on July 7th. Following a unanimous decision by members of the committee, secretary Mrs Dot Foster said: "The vast majority of our large live­ stock exhibitors. are involved on a day-to-day basis with farming and are reliant on the industry for their income.


| STAFF at Booths super­ market in Clitheroe have played their p ar t in the


"Given the prevailing cir­


cumstances, we would not wish to encourage the non- essential movement of live­


stock. "While the annual show


is some weeks away, with no early end to the current foot and mouth problems in sight, we felt it important to make this decision at the earliest opportunity in order to avoid any unneces­ sary work and expense for many exhibitors and sup­ porters of our show."


Investing in supermarket staff pays off


feature of the successful bid. Chairman Mr Edwin Booth says: "Staff are con-


1 company gaining "Investors in People" standard. An effective approach to training issues was a key


suited in the decision-mak­ ing process relating to train­ ing issues; we couldn't do it without them."
