A LETTER to the editor suggested the authorities put a stop to the practice of swimming in the Ribble on a Sunday afternoon as there was quite enough time on Saturday afternoons for such things. The writer, "Pro Bono Publico", had gone to Brungerley to hear the Borough Band and witnessed the banks of the river thronged by hundreds of people of both sexes.

the challenge. In Peru, the boys and

Are you stubbornly refusing to admit that you could possibly have been wrong, or hurt someone with your selfish atti­ tude or lack of consideration?
