Sewage Works, Mr Towne explained the treatment involved in the purification of sewage and the provision of clean, germ-free water for human consumption. His work included conducting tours of the plant by parties of the public, and he stressed the value placed by the water authorities on this aspect of public rela­ tions. He particularly enjoyed the visits of school- children and their percep­


tive questions. Surprisingly, he declared


that only one per cent of natural water is fit for human consumption and very many of the world's health problems begin with contaminated water. We have recently had much publicity on the horrendous problems caused by the earthquakes in El Salvador in Central America and Gujarat in India, where the provision of clean water is the first essential for the stricken people.

THE need for the loo is behind plans to build a £275,000 Methodist


chapel in Chatburn. New regulations on pro­


viding access and facilities for the disabled, which come into effect in 2004, make the existing chapel on land off Downham Road unsuitable. Built in 1883 on


four levels to accommodate up to 250 worshippers, it is also costly to maintain and to heat, according to the Rev. Chris Cheeseman, superintendent of Clitheroe Methodist Circuit. Acting on behalf of.


chapel trustees, he has sub­ mitted plans to Ribble Val­


ley Borough Council to have the building demol­ ished, with a new single­ storey chapel to be erected

access and toilet facilities, a modern kitchen, an office, two small halls where the chapel's youth, mums and toddlers, women's fellow­ ship and Bible study groups could meet, and a worship area to accommodate 80. It would also have central heating, whereas the cur­ rent chapel, used regularly by up to 33 worshippers, is warmed by a number of electric fires.


Warm welcome for the new Bishop from the pupils at Langho school


former third world coun­ tries, like Thailand and Malaya, as well as many less well-developed Euro­ pean countries, there are modern superstructures, but primitive water sup­ plies. Mr Towne pointed out that here in our own North-West region every individual uses around 140 litres of water every day. This equals 17 bucketfuls. Each toilet flush uses some 10 litres (two gallons) and while we use pure water for our ablutions, the USA has a dual system where untreated water can be used for lavatory waste, while the pure treated water is available for drinking. There were many ques­


tions asked of the speaker, ranging from "syphonic" toi­ lets to holes in the road, and several club members i elat­ ed their water experiences. Mr Towne was thanked


by Mr Eric Ronnan, who felt that the taste of our present water was not as good as he remembered in the times of his youth!

new chapel is something that has been talked of for the last two years but, hav­ ing received the backing of the church council last October, we are now nearer to it becoming a reality." Should the plans be


approved by councillors, Mr Cheeseman envisages


the start of building work in June, with the exterior com­ pleted by the autumn to allow efforts to concentrate

Shape of things to come as new bridge receives local support

to span the Ribble-Calder c o n - ---------------------------‘ fluence and the £600,000 cost. There were already plans for


two more traditional timber structures to link the four pub­ lic footpaths in the area. But this bridge has been


described as "a monstrosity" and as "something out of a Star Wars movie." However, similar structures


have gone up in other places and the county council seems determined to go ahead, applying to itself for planning permission. However, it is allowing more time for consul­


tation. Last week’s meeting of the


Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil Planning and Development Committee voted to support the design. Only two members voted against.

Samaritans in need of your help


OFFICIALS of the Sam­ aritans are concerned that potential helpers are deterred because they think special qualifica­


tions are needed. "But you don't need any -


just an open mind and a non-judgemental approach


to life," says Mr John Killip, from the Blackburn Samar­ itans, which covers the Rib­


ble Valley. Another drive to find


more people with a listening ear is under way, as the team inevitably loses mem­ bers for one reason and


another. "We offer emotional sup­


er turns. Half of the work's cost


has already been secured from Methodist grants, with trustees investigating other general grant funding which may be available to them. It is expected public donations will also be sought, with additional money raised from the sale of some of the current chapel's interior fixtures.

from the Government and includes some for training staff to help users make the most of the facilities.

Mr Killip. "A s you may imagine this


commitment demands a lot from our volunteers but they are just ordinary peo­ ple who have found time in their busy lives to help those passing through a cri­ sis and need someone to share their troubles with." Informal without obliga­


tion information sessions lasting an hour or two are being arranged at which a video will be shown and questions will be answered. There are Sunday ones on


March 11th and April 29th at 10-30 a. m. and a Tues­ day one on April 10th at 8

I POOR weather but a warm welcome greeted the new Bishop of


Burnley on a v is it to


tire Ribble Valley. A tour of the parish of St


Leonard's, Langho, meant that the Rt Rev. John God­ dard was only a few miles across the fields from his last working area, Ribble-


ton, Preston. The visit was a routine


one, enabling bishop and people to get to know each


other. 1-Ie took the assembly at

St Leonard's school and then went on to a local farm. After giving commu­ nion to some elderly parish­ ioners, the bishop went to the "Godzone" after-school service including the North­ ern Evangelical Trust, and in the evening was at a meeting of the Parochial Church Council.


Bishop Goddard was able |


to discuss ways of develop­ ing the parish's work with the vicar, the Rev. Steve Cooper, and church offi­


cials. Some 6,000 people live in


the area covered by the


church. The Bishop clearly found


his visit well worthwhile and enjoyable, and has written to Mr Cooper to


say so. Bishop Goddard is pic- f


tured with some of the chil­ dren at the school, Mr Cooper, headteacher Mrs Ann Pickup (right) and deputy head Miss Patsy
