-_____ Play your part in


healing the land AS farmers, we have been moved in our hearts by expressions of concern because of both BSE and now the outbreak of foot and mouth disease. At the same time as liv­ ing through the immediate crisis, we do see a bigger and even more serious picture


which we would like to share. There is some connection between the


way a nation behaves towards the living God and His counsel, and what happens in climate, weather and agriculture. While governments can choose to pass laws con­ trary to God's laws, they cannot control the calamities which may befall their nation as


a result. We can all research this ourselves by -


reading the Bible, now available toaU in very understandable language. Here is just one quotation. Although it is the Israelites who are being addressed directly, the prin­ ciples are for all time and for all peoples. "Hear the word of the Lord, you


Israelites because the Lord has a charge to bring against you who live in the land. "There is no faithfulness, no love, no


acknowledgement of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land mourns, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field and the birds of the air, and the fish of


the sea are dying". Because of the great love and mercy ol


God, He goes on to say in the same book of Hosea: "Return O Israel to the Lord your


God. Your sins have been your downfall! Who is wise? He will realise these things. The ways of the Lord are right; the right­ eous walk in them, but the rebellious stum­


ble in them." Because of this mercy, each of us still has


,,


fantastic prize simply answer the! Tf-frtgj question below:


a chance to ask forgiveness both for person­ al sin and for that of the nation. Will you play your part in the healing of our land. Why, a few tidal waves and earthquakes and Britain could1 be no more. Then the choice would be gone, and we would all stand at the judgment seat of Christ. Let us together, turn to the Lord now, with all our heart, recognising our own part in the current sad situation.

Mindless disregard


for riders’ safety ON Sunday I rode my horse from Worston


1 to Downham, then to Chatbum and home. I rarely use this route at this time of year


because of the traffic but, because of the foot and mouth outbreak, I wished to avoid


all the farms. I t was a frightening experience, due to


the mindless disregard of the vehicle dri­ vers; I had cars passing within a foot of the


horse at 40-50 m.p.h. I have over 40 years of riding experience


and I cannot always anticipate when a horse is going to take fright, so what about the young riders who, because of the crisis,


will also have to ride on our roads? • Horses shy at all types of things, bags in


hedges,’paper on the road, birds flying out, all things that you in your cars will not see. The lady with two children (not belted


up in the rear seat) who passed me at aboutD° 45 m.p.h. - just think what * would be Idee


to have a pony on your car bonnet and a


you approach a horse on the road. There are 3,000 accidents involving hors­


es and riders every year, just some patience and caution on the part of motorists could


reduce these awful figures. My mother used to say "better 10 min­


utes late in this world than five minutes early in the next". Please slow down.


Thank you.

Help by keeping off


countryside areas ALL of us are in some way feeling the effect of the current foot and mouth epidemic: either as the very unfortunate farmer and his/her family who potentially face the prospect of both financial and personal tragedy, or as someone employed in associ­ ated trades such as auction marts, livestock transport, and abattoirs to name but a few. To a much lesser degree, recreational


users of the countryside are affected because we cannot go our favourite or regu­


lar walk or ride. I am writing to ask for everybody s co­


operation in this matter as we can all help by keeping away from all agricultural laud, including the footpaths and tracks that


lead into it. Some of us may consider that a short , , , , , ,


visit by ourselves or our dog is not going to have any effect on spreading the disease, especially as it can also be carried by the wind and the birds. But we should all make every effort to help minimise the potential spread of this debilitating and in some cases fatal disease especially in young live-


ly use the countryside several times a week, *

for several months. There has been much publicity and dis­


cussion on the need to slaughter infected or at-risk livestock on such a scale; most of the animals would eventually improve, which leads many to ask the question


"Why do it?" Though I was only six at the time ot tne .

Are enough of us willing to pay more for


our farmed products? MRS T. WILSON, Clithcroc.


Childcare vacancies


few and far between SOME people in the Ribble Valley are experiencing great difficulty finding child­ care. Vacancies are few and far between and also quite expensive which, of course, is not the carers' fault as they have to make a liv­


ing- Perhaps with an election looming, our


prospective candidates could tell us if they support a campaign to perhaps subsidise


this very worrying problem. My employers have tried to take this


problem on board and tried to find out information or help, but to no avail. They have managed to speak to another compa­ ny whose employees are having the same


problem. Perhaps others are having it, or you may . . . .


have ideas or solutions. I am sure your MP would like to hear from you!

A Private Member's Bill will be debated


in March, but I am amazed that the Rib­ ble Valley MP, Mr Nigel Evans, is not sup­ porting this campaign and, like many peo­ ple, would like to know why. Christmas Day is very special to chil­


dren and one that should not be missed by any parent, unless absolutely necessary. However, more and more shops are opening their doors, taking shopworkers away from


their family. November, December and January are


very busy times in shops and staff are not normally allowed to take holiday leave dur­ ing these three months. I believe that they deserve at least one guaranteed day off during that period.


I challenge Mr Evans to tell us whether „ ,
