CHURCH leaders in Chatburn have learn­ ed a lesson from their predecessors of the


last century. The contents of a time


capsule buried in a glass container when the church was built 119 years ago were damaged when the stopper came off. A time capsule to be buried under the new church will be more secure - it will be in a Tupperware container, the church has decided. The messages in a bot­

capsule was taken to the Wesley room of Trinity Methodist Church, Clitheroe, where the act­ ing Superintendent of the Clitheroe Circuit, the Rev. Richard Atkin­ son, carefully opened the bottle. Witnessed by church

Special tribute It was way back last


June when the committee of Waddington WI decid­ ed they would like to acknowledge the Queen's Golden Jubilee by sending her congratulations in a

Mrs Olive Fowden was approached and asked to design and embroider a card. Most appropriately she chose to work a picture of Waddington Corona­ tion Gardens and the result was an exquisitely fine and unique tribute to Her Majesty, enhanced by the calligraphy of Mrs

Emsden has received a for­ mal reply from Bucking-
