Now that has all stopped, because


vandals'- they are believed to be young ones - have caused repeated damage to the building. And now the sad decision has had to


be taken by those who run the school that they can no longer afford to pay for the repairs and the Wendy House is to be sold.

help make life a little easier a


rotating seat was fitted to Mr Phillips' car passenger seat, to make getting in and out of the vehicle easier and so he could get round and about.


...■-Unfortunately, Graham, who needs 24-hour constant


care, is now unable to use the


' seat and his father, who says it is in excellent condition, would like it to go to a local . person who is genuinely dis-

..' . \ v ■ • ' . But it is far.from. trivial as far as the


toddlers at Chatbum are concerned. Every incident of "trivial" damage


which occurs has a negative effect on someone. Someone is made unhappy to a greater or. lesser degree every time a vandal strikes.


t “ The authorities appear to accept this


kind of petty vandalism as unavoidable as they focus on far more serious crimes. But if criminals have to start, they


have, to start somewhere. Today a Wendy House, tomorrow a street mug­ ging with a knife.


■ We should be nipping petty juvenile


crime in the bud, taking action against crime before it becomes a habit and results in new recruits to the criminal classes.. ■


In the last couple of decades or so, there have been drastic changes to the


■ ■ . -.-■■■ i


. way in which we deal with juvenile offenders.


;


., These days young criminals must be treated pleasantly in court and addressed by their Christian names. The magistrates must sit at the same level as the defendants, so as not to be

. probation officers, and a plethora of other welfare officers to provide advice and sustenapee for little Johnny. There are also strict rules which have to be

vandals, hooligans and thieves, all too often their first appearance before a court of law may be the first time many of them will have been spoken to in a pleasant way. For many, of them, the courtroom is a pleasant'place for them . to visit -


in fact it has been known that


some of them turn up at court even when they are not before the Beaks, just


to meet their friendsl Never mind-the penalties, or the


threat of being locked up, the court­ room experience could be made a much more memorable and forbidding experi­ ence for the young criminals. • Then, the next time they are wander­


ing restlessly around .Chatburn and inclined to smash up a Wendy House they might just remember that a court­ room is not a pleasant place to be and resist the temptation.


LOOKING BACK


100 years ago


WHEN three mischievous school­ boys were summoned for the dan­ gerous practice of throwing stones at trains from a railway bridge, the solicitor for the defence asked for leniency. His grounds were that the parents had 35 children between them; two families of 12 each and one of eleven.


□ Mr Shackleton, the member


for the Clitheroe Division, gave a speech saying he should represent the constituency as a Labour can­ didate, but be free to give his vote according to*his convictions on any question which came before Parliament. He said: "No party has a right to claim that a man should vote one-way or another on all subjects. The brains of the individual ought to come in some­ times and the member should not be an automaton to be pulled by . whip here and there.)'


' | □ An interview’with artist


Miss Sybil Parker was published in the Sunday Strand. The eldest daughter of the late Vicarjof Waddington, she had spent her early life in the village and her pictures had become famous. She said: "London's all very well and doubtless the hub of the universe, but give me the lingering gloam­ ing and the glories of the Ribble Valley. Give me, too, the philoso­ phers of the fields and hills who


appreciated my work." 50 years ago


THE Campaign for the Protec­ tion of Rural England advocated the planting of trees to screen Chatbum quarries from view. A report said that work must be done to prevent the area around the Clitheroe-Chatburn road from becoming a scene of com­ plete desolation.


□ Messages of congratulation


were received from all over the world as Waddow Hall celebrated its 25th anniversary as a Guiders' training centre. 1,234 visiting Guides from 262 patrols gathered for the event. ■


25 years ago


SAWLEY residents expressed strong oppositon to an outline plan for a small factory in the vil­ lage for the manufacture and sale


of agricultural machinery.. , □ A questionnaire was printed


in the Advertiser and Times to find readers' views on a proposed


Community Centre in Clitheroe, as a working group was being set up to investigate the feasibility of such a project.


□ The Mayor of Clitheroe


threatened to resign from the bor- | ough council over additions to Standing Order 21, which would empower the chairman to use force to remove an obstreperous I


member from a meeting. He said: "The basic right of


democracy is the right of free ’ speech and I served during the war to defend that right, but now we are going back to the Nazi Germany of 1939, when at the I discrimination of a chairman, a


, councillor can be told to sit-down or a policeman may be called to . give the member into charge.'.'.

A GROUP of Cub Scouts from the Ribble Valley on holiday in London found themselves having an impromptu chat with Mrs Cherie Blair in Downing Street. The 30 youngsters were


gathered for a photograph outside number 10, when the police constable on. duty asked them to move across the road as some­ one was due to arrive. The Prime Minister's wife was driven up in a car, then walked-across to speak to them. Assistant District Com­


missioner Mr Dale High- am said: "She was very nice. She asked the Cubs where they were from and when she heard they were from Clitheroe, said that she was bom in Bury." The boys told Mrs Blair


about their holiday and she asked them about their Cub Scout badges. The group travelled to


London by train, with eight leaders and were 1 based for a week at Gilwell
