judged by Ribble Valley Mayor Coun. Mrs Joyce Holgate, went to the Mad Cows. Before the presentation


of awards, youngsters of the village received com­ memorative cups from Mr John Aspinall, of Standen Hall, and coins from the parish council. Afterwards, there was a barbecue and disco, bring­ ing to a wonderful finale


months of hard-work and preparation to make the jubilee celebrations an occasion to remember.


Messages in open bottle unearthed


CHURCH leaders in Chatbum 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


tle were discovered dim­ ing demolition of Chat- bum Methodist Church. A new church and com­ munity centre are to be built on the same site, and builders uncovered the glass bottle during preliminary work. ' The Victorian time


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

LANG- KNIGHT


Police officer Miss Helen Louise Knight married sales manager Mr Ian Scott Lang at St Helen's Church, Waddington. The bride is the


daughter o f Mr Ian Knight, of Eastfield Drive, West Bradford, and Ms Lesley Brad­ bury, of Bleasdale Avenue, Clitheroe. Her bridegroom, a


football fan, is the son of Mr John and Mrs Chris­ tine Lang, of Brockhall Village, Old Langho. . Given away by her


father, the bride wore a strapless designer gown of


ivory Thai silk which had a buttermilk embroidered bodice. Her bouquet com­ prised cream roses, ranun­ culus, anemones and eucalyptus.


■ She was attended by


Alexandra McGhee and Phoebe Frarikland. They wore empire-line dresses


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 special card. Expert embroiderer


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 Jean Oldroyd. President Miss Hylda


Emsden has received a for­ mal reply from Bucking­ ham Palace, but with a handwritten footnote say­ ing "How much the embroidery was appreciat­ ed", which gave members great satisfaction.

Gall goes out for strong men to take on pulling challenge


TEAMS of strong men are being sought for a "pull the steam engine" challenge. Interest in the


Slaidbum Steam and Vintage ,Vehicle Dis­ play)* has strongly revived after its foot and mouth disease cancellation last year.


On June 29th and


30th, much of the vil­ lage will again be taken up b y the steam fair. But there will be'plen- ty of parking space and stewards to. help keep the roads clear.. The weekend event


will include seven steam wagons and rollers, as well as numerous other


interesting vehicles. However, there is a "fun for all the family"


aspect, with a ride-on steam railway, side


shows and a craft fair. The display uses the the village hall as well as the Hark to Bounty pub and an adjoining field. This year the organ-


isors'have introduced a "strong man" contest


and are looking for teams of six to pull a steam engine, possibly


on both days. The village school at


Slaidbum benefits from money raised by the dis­ play. There is also strong sup p or t 'for the local "First Responders" who help heart attack v ie times and a donation will be made to them.


local authority employ­ ers' organisation. Promoting racial


equality and good rela­ tions is obligatory for local authorities across all their relevant func­ tions. "The legislation app­


lies regardless of the size of the black and ethnic minority population," the report points out. . "The elements of gen­


eral duty are comple­ mentary — they are all necessary to meet the whole duty." In order to fulfill the requirements, the emp-


consider how policies should be changed, where needed. Then they should be changed. Authorities which


principles have been sug- have 150 or more full- gested for them by the time staff are specifical-


ly required by the law to monitor their staff on an ethnic classification sys­ tem and, for each group, check their training opportunities, whether they benefit or suffer detriment as a result of council performance assessment procedures, are involved in grievance or disciplinary processes or cease employment. The - aim o f the


stronger approach is to place racial equality at the centre of policy and decision making, service delivery, employment, regulation and enforce­


ment, says the report. " I t is a matter o f fair access to services, not positive discrimination," it says. The issue is on the


agenda for tonight's meeting of the borough Parish Council Liaison Committee. Many of the features of the strength­ ened law apply to parish councils, but Mr Timp- son points out that the legislation requires only measures that are feasi­ ble. "The weight given to


racial equality should be proportionate to its rele­ vance," he writes. "This is particularly


important for rural areas that may have very small black and minority ethnic communities or


that may have scattered households rather than discernible communities as such. "For example, what is


feasible in relation to consultation in inner- city areas will not be fea­ sible in some rural
