SHELLFISH, snails, tortoises and terrapins carry their homes on


their backs. And it is a good


arrangement as it allows them to move from loca­ tion to locat ion as the spirit drives them. It also allows them to move from an undesirable spot to a more desirable one as con­


venient. We, of course, cannot do


this all the time - unless we happen to be nomadic. This way of life does not


appeal to those who have been brought up to a more stationary style of life. However, when it comes to holidays, caravans provide some very distinct advan­


tages. They allow their users to


travel from location to loca­ tion according to whim. They prevent boredom set­ ting in when all the possi­ bilities of a place have been exhausted. They provide the free­


dom to eat, sleep and travel because they remove any of the strictures imposed by staying in hotels and board­


ing houses. Best of all, caravan holi­


days can be rather less expensive then most other types of vacation. If you do not have your


own caravan, it is possible to have a stupendous holi­ day at an extremely reason­ able rate, as there are lots of sites, the vast majority with modern facilities to make your stay as comfort­ able as possible. Caravans come in a vari-


ADVERTISING FEATURE


ety of sizes, sleeping from two up to eight in compar­ ative comfort. They fit on to the tow bar of a car and, given very little practice, are pretty easy to tow. A variation on the theme


is the trailer tent, which is a hybrid, combining the attributes of a tent with the comfort of a caravan which folds down into a compact little trailer which is ease itself to tow. Two things are essential


to successfully using a tour­ ing caravan - a car with the right engine size and a well- fitted tow bar of the correct design for the model of car. The latter is something


that must be right. Using a tow bar which is designed for a vehicle other than the one on which it is fitted is very dangerous. It compro­ mises not only the stability of the car, but its very structural integrity. Of course, even the right


tow bar can fail if it is fitted incorrectly, so it really is not a suitable job for a DIY


exercise. The size of engine is


essential if a caravan is to be towed safely and effi­ ciently. An under-powered towing vehicle will use up a vast amount of fuel and will take ages to get any­ where, especially up hills. It can also affect the sta­


bility of the whole outfit and, even worse, it will ruin the engine in not too long a space of time.

MODERN touring caravans have impressive standards o f quality and design Unless you are planning


also to change your car, ask the dealership for advice on the size you can tow with your existing vehicle when considering the purchase of a caravan. You may think that buy­


ing a caravan is a risky business if you have no pre­ vious experience. Buying a caravan impos­


es a not inconsiderable cost. You can start off with a used caravan or, cheaper still, hire one. Both cara­ vans and trailer tents can be hired, although you will have to have that tow bar


fitted first. If you want to see if you


and your family will fit into a caravan comfortably and take to the style of life, it is possible to take a holiday break in a static caravan. Many are located close to


seaside resorts, but there are a good many in our area


too. They are generally larger


caravans than those designed for touring, but they will give a good indica­ tion of your ability to live together in a confined


space. However, it is worth


bearing in mind that whether the caravan is stat­ ic or towed, you will only be spending a comparatively short space of time inside, the idea being that you use it only as a mobile kitchen, diner and bedroom. If your experience of car­


avanning is some years in the past, be prepared to be pleasantly surprised. The modern caravan is normal­ ly as fully equipped as any luxury holiday flat, with shower, toilet, fridge, split


Comforts under canvas CAMPING nowadays is a very different experience to


what it used to be. To begin with, the modern tent, lie it large or small, is


designed to accommodate a specific number o f people in comfort. It is easy to erect and fold away, light to carry, simple to maintain and usually leakproof. Tents are made for back packers, cyclists, motor cyclists


and those touring in a car. Frame tents can accommodate up to eight or more in comfort, with separate internal “ rooms” for sleeping, extensions for a kitchen and bath­ room and also for extra sleeping accommodation. Accessories and equipment for camping have developed


alongside the tents, so that all “ home comforts” are avail­ able. There are sink units, cookers complete with oven and grill, shower and bathing units, comfortable tables and chairs, lighting equipment, camp beds as comfortable as those you have at home and sleeping bags as light and warm as swan’s-down.


level cooker, sink unit, etc., with lots of cupboard space. Touring caravans can also be plugged into the mains for instant electrical power when parked on an official touring park. For the ideal holiday on


the move you could do a lot worse than tow a caravan


A relatively peaceful Easter - but some end up in hot water


HOW was the Easter


weekend for you? While those of us at the


police office grow accus­ tomed to experiencing strange circumstances, none were as prophetic as those highlighted by a local com­ pany in its pre-Easter advertising. It promised that anyone


visiting its premises over the holiday weekend was in for a "big surprise". Well, late on Good Fri­


day evening, two officers found the premises insecure and I think on this occasion the staff were the ones in for the big surprise. The offi­ cers were confronted by the staff who were obviously celebrating after a hard day's toil and had resorted to "taking the waters" in a large hot tub Jacuzzi. It conjured up a whole new picture for the term water


feature! Decency prevents identi­


fication, but one of the offi­ cers was subject of humor­ ous banter for the rest of her shift. The rest of the Easter


weekend was extremely quiet and we are pleased to


A regular column to help fight crime |


say there was little disorder and few arrests. Noticeable was the lack


of visitors to the area, obvi­ ously due to the foot and mouth restrictions. Road traffic accidents were down, no doubt due to fewer vehi­ cles using our roads. A posi­


tive point. While even the diesel


thieves have taken a little rest over Easter, some of our juveniles - that is YOUR children - have been making life for some of our residents purgatory. Some of these youngsters are well known to us and are head­ ing for more serious actions being taken against them. Perhaps it is due to school holidays, but reports of mindless damage, constant harassment of householders and petty theft and nui­ sance seem to fill our work­


ing days. We get to a stage with


some of them that nothing we can do or say makes any difference and we have to think of other more severe measures. There are now anti-social behaviour orders which can be applied for and which severely restrict the activity of these young­ sters once granted. No one wants to go to these lengths, but for some of the juveniles out there this is the next stage. So, come on parents, be


aware of where your chil­ dren are and what they are


doing. We would also like to


hear from anyone who has seen anyone causing injury to the ducks in the town. Some have been found


dead, believed to have been shot by an air rifle. This is mindless cruelty and any information as to the cul­ prit should be forwarded to Sgt Sanderson at Clitheroe.

in Clitheroe on Thursday night. Damage estimated at £100 was caused

Former golf enthusiast dies at 81


A LOCAL man who for­ merly played golf at the Clitheroe club has died aged


8i. The youngest of five chtl-


dren, Mr Fred Bailey attended St Michael and St John's RC School. He was employed in the offices of nibble Cement when the Second World War broke


out. Mr Bailey joined the


Royal Engineers and spent much of the war working at an oil drum production unit__ on the Persian Gulf. After the war, he was in


the building trade with his brother-in-law, Mr Jack Garvey, and later went into


road haulage. Just over 20 years ago,


Mr Bailey went to live in Barnoldswick with his sis­ ter, working on security at two large companies and also for his nephew's vend­ ing firm, Select-A-Cup. After moving, Mr Bailey


carried on golfing, playing at the Ghyll club. He was also keen on holidays, and had a wide circle of friends. He leaves his two older


sisters, Gertrude and May. His other sister, Hilda, and brother Tom died several years ago.
