for Children in Need


RESIDENTS from the Ribble Valley helped BBC Radio Lancashire raise £77,670 for this year's Children In Need appeal. Pledges are still com­


ing in across the country, but by 2 a.m. on Satur­ day the overall total had reached almost £13m.


~ T TV presenter Terry Wogan said: "I'd like personally to thank the listeners to BBC Radio Lancashire for their fan­ tastic support for this year's appeal. Children In Need really does make a difference for many thousands of chil­ dren across the whole country." And Radio Lan­


cashire's managing edi­ tor, Mr John Clayton, added: "Children In Need is a highpoint for both our listeners and staff. It is a great oppor­ tunity for us to connect with our community and raise serious money for a good cause at the same time."


■ Lost pounds gain money for hospice


THE loss by a group of ladies from Whalley has led to a gain for the Der- ian House Children's Hospice. Members of the


Prize catch for Andrew as he wins a fossilised woodlouse


Weight Watchers' class led by Mrs Kathleen English had lost so much weight - 3,000 pounds between them - th a t many of their clothes no longer fitted. They had a sale of the clothes they had grown out of and raised £138 for the hos­


pice.


A FOSSILISED woodlouse was the unusual prize up for grabs in a competition at Clitheroe Cas­


tle Museum. The Trilobite was awarded to St


James's CE School pupil Andrew Brunskill, who won a special treasure


hunt organised as p a r t of Family Learning Weekend. To earn his reward, the youngster


had to go round the museum finding fossils, hidden in cabinets, which were each displaying a different letter. Once put together the letters spelt out the name of the prize, which was present­ ed to him by Miss Hannah Chalk, curator for the Lancashire Museum


Service. Our picture shows the prizewinner


with Miss Chalk. (C141101/4) Free speech


was denied TODAY, Sunday, there was a meeting in Clith­ eroe town centre for peo­ ple protesting a t the bombing in Afghanistan. There were no more


than a dozen people with placards and leaflets, and I was among a group of no more than a dozen people with a dif­ ferent opinion. I found it particularly


disturbing to hear the attitu d e of the police­ woman in charge. She would not allow any exchange of opinions and we were moved to the opposite side of the road. We were told that if we said anything to these people, we would be arrested. Thanks to the police­


woman, I never got to hear or discuss the differ­ ence of opinions with these people. So much for freedom


of speech.

car speeds AS a resident living in Sawley, I am writing about the annoying speed of traffic through the village. I t is quite simply a


danger walking on the roadside as cars oblivi­ ously break the speed


limit and overtake each


other. Overtaking on this


road is just ridiculous; someone is going to be


hurt or killed. All kinds of people


seem to be driving dan­ gerously, even with chil­ dren in their own cars! The police seem


unable to help, so I ask, can the council do any­


thing? CONCERNED READER.


Fecundity


of sulphur YOUR "Looking Back" always creates interest­ ing reading. The Clitheroe Adver­


tiser and Times of November 15th "50 years ago" refers to the sulphur well a t Fooden Farm. Fooden was my birthplace and I lived there for 22 years. My late father, Jack Wolfenden, had a mare who, after a day’s work on the farm, would choose to drink sulphur water instead of fresh water from the nearby


stream. This mare had 13 foals


in 13 years, so does this sulphur water have other special properties? I sus­ pect my father had a few secret drinks because he fathered eight children, the firs t seven in nine


years. Young married cou­


ples were given bottles to drink, and I have friends


whose parents said it did the trick for them!

A Biblical return hope


ON my father's 60th birthday, he went with my mum and son to Barnstaple in North Devon. While there, my son, who is nine years old, bought two Bibles in • a local auction for £10. He made arrangements with my dad to help him restore one of them so he could donate i t to his school. The other Bible, which is brass bound, had entries dating back to 1885. The Bible was a wed­


ding gift for a Mr Henry N u tta ll Rowe and a Miss Isabella Parkinson, both of Clitheroe, who were married a t The Wesleyan Chapel, Whal­ ley, on November 22nd, 1885. They then went on to have a son called William John, born December 10th, 1888. Over many years pre­
