A L U N C H E O N club" is being set up
forlresidents of Vaie House, a sheitered housing scheme in WhS^ey. • T^e complex only has
a ^ a l l communal kitchen; so £ 10,000 is being spent on extending it and buying catering equipment of the n e c ^ saty/scale to protride up to dO^lunches. The scheme'reflects
the policy o f both the R ib y e Valley Borough Council and the local primary ? health care trust-to give people such as those in sheltered housing as many oppor tunities for meeting together and being as ind^endent as possible. S ^ h e council and the
health group are sharing the '&pital expenditure. The’ council will pay the running costs of the onc^a-week lunches, but hopqs the charge made w iU j^ u p them. "I|_ is impossible to
pre^^ict how much income is likely to be generated prior to com mencement of the lun cheon club, but there is the-potential for break ing ie'ven," says a report to the council Policy and Finance Committee. A-’luncheon club has

THE local head of theiChurch of Eng- laifd, the R t . Rev. Alan Chesters, Bish op of Blackburn, has paid tribute to the
Quefen Mother. He said:
"Her
Majesty the Queen Mother will be greatly misted: From the days of the'the Second World War. when she was such a support to her hus band, King George VI, she^has set an outstand ing-example o f dedica tion to duty and public- service, which continued until her death'; alth^: ough many would have retired from such work much earlier. ’’T he Queen Mother
had'k zest for life and a parHcular gift for mak- ing”those whom she met feeljvery special. “Her deep Christian
fmth helped her to meet with courage the tragic times, both in the life of herifamily and of the naridn. The people of the Did&ese of Blackburn extend their deep sym pathy to Her Majesty the Queen and her fami ly inShdr loss."

(Clitheroe) agreed and added: "What’s the point of having councillors at all if you are going to be able to come in the back door?" He also criticised the
‘White Paper for lack of detail. "They plan to, mod

want to involve young people. How? It doesn't say that either. "They are not short on
ideas, but desperately short on how to achieve those ideas," he added. Coun. Stephen Adnitt
(Clitheroe) was worried about the growth of bureaucracy. He said he had experienced it in education where bureau cracy had doubled in recent years. Coun. Frank Dyson
(Clitheroe) was worried that the 'White Paper meant central govern ment dictating to local govramment. - "It gives no responsi
