Glasgow in 1944, had six commissions, all com pleted in the Far East, before it went to the breaker's yard at Ply mouth in 1960.

1954, Messrs Summer fold and Heap became, acting captain and navi- ■ gating officer on the |>' ship's quarter deck, as part of a tradition which saw the youngest sailors taking on officer ranks for the day. In May the following

DANCERS gleefully fol lowed the instructions of caller Mr Mike Harg reaves at a hoe-down in Rimington Memorial Institute on Satiurday. The event, organised
by Mr Don and Mrs Con Nicholson, raised a total of £249 - half for the funds of the institute and the remainder for the Rimington and Mid- dop Golden Jubilee Fund. The dancers enjoyed a
pie and peas supper with home-made cakes and at the end of the evening Mr John Knapp gave public thanks to Mr and Mrs Nicholson, Mr Har greaves and other helpers who had made the evening a success. Raffle winners were:
Mrs M. McPherson, Mr Mark Williams, Mrs J. Sherras, Mr R. Knipe, Mr M. Ramsbottom, Mr D. Briscoe, Mr D. Nicholson, Mr C. Brand, Mrs E. Jackson and Mrs E. Pate. In our picture, the

a lack of information and fear of the unknown has made the take-up of this new system very slow. Now, however, more
and more people who had home carers were switching to the new sys tem, she told councillors and members of the pub lic.
Under the existing sys
tem, people were assessed and someone told them how much care they would get; Under the new sys
tem, they are still assessed by a social worker, but are then given a care package - an amount of money they manage themselves. She said that her
organisation had nothing but praise for the exist ing care teams, who worked with the sick and elderly, but there was a real problem in finding people who were pre pared to travel to pro vide care in rural areas, such as Sabden. She said that in a lot of
cases people did not ask neighbours and friends

family member or some one living in the same house, but it could be a friend or someone who lives close by, making it easier than having to rely on someone from a care agency miles away, she said. People were being
given a real choice about their care. But, she stressed that the Itowan organisation was there to help and advise people every step of the'way, helping them as much as possible t o set up the sys tem, to find a caj-er if they wished and, impor tantly, provide assis tance with the paper work. The carer would^have
a contract of employ ment and be treated like an employee in every sense of the word. ‘ There were some reser

, Pupils’ help for disaster victims
PUPILS at a Ribble Valley primary school have been thinking about the needs of others. For the second time, children at
Sabden Primary School have been col lecting items for an Aqua Emergency Box, to be sent to a country where there has been a disaster. Plastic containers are filled with .
essential items, including clothing, utensils, toiletries, candles and torch es. Little luxuries, such as small toys, are also allowed, to bring some light into the life of someone who may have lost all they own., ;• .
: Padiham Rotary Club is one of hun
dreds of such organisations in Great Britain and Ireland which make up. the boxes annually. The club enlists the help of local schools and those in
Read and Simonstone are also taking partthisyear. •The boxes have a dual use because
they contain filters.and once thje con tents have been taken out they can be used to store clean water in an area where there might not be any.-. 'I ' Our photograph shows Paaiham Rotary Club members gratefully
' receiving the box from the pupils who are, from the left,-Katie Braundl Luke Tidmarsh, Elliot Bywater and Abbey Warburton. Pictured at the back are Sabden Primary School headteacher Mrs Sandra Dundon with, from the left. Rotary club past president Mr Keith Newmark, current president Mr Anthony Briggs and past president Mr PeterRawlinson;-.. . .. ' (B210302/2)
