‘Old girls’ travel far for reunion


Weaver, of Queen Street, Whal- ley, said: "It was marvellous. We all had a wonderful time." The "girls", all all of whom


are now 67, began their reunions when they were 50 and


have assembled every three years since. The member of staff, Miss


Willa Kippax, is now living m Burnley. Mrs Dorothy Patten (nee Barnes) flew in from Flori­


da and Mrs Kathleen Dent (nee Jackson) flew from Mass­ achusetts. Others came from as far as


London and Bristol. They agreed they would continue the tradition and meet again in three years' time. In our picture, head girl Mrs


Barbara Holburn and her for­ mer classmates look at the orig­ inal 1946 photograph. (C140602/7)


Massive petition at No. 10 to protest over care homes


SIGNATURES from the Ribble Valley were contained in a mas­ sive petition handed in to num­ ber 10 Downing Street. The names have been gathered


from all over Lancashire in recent weeks by the Lancashire Care Homes Association in protest at Lancashire County Council's plans to close 35 care homes and change other homes for the elder­ ly throughout the county. Among the signatures were those


from the 120 elderly people who attend the Castleford Day Centre at Clitheroe, and their relatives and


friends. There have been fears that the pro­


posal to increase beds at the home where the day centre is based from 30 to 44 would mean there would be no room afterwards for the day centre which relieves carers five days a week. Opponents to the plans have said the


day centre is a vital part of the com­ munity. The county council has maintained


the changes are in the interests of effi­ ciency and providing a quality service. Shadow Secretary o f State for


Health, Dr. Liam Fox MP, said: "I am not surprised people in Lancashire are so concerned about the provision of care for the elderly. "Concers run deep m Lancashire


and throughout the country and I have been drawing attention to the cri­ sis in Lancashire and elsewhere for


some time now. "People can't get their operation


because there are no beds available. There are no beds available because the people occupying them can't get places in care homes. And people in care homes live in fear of being evicted because their home is threatened with closure. "This is a health service in chaos.


Elderly people deserve better than they are getting under Labour," he added.


Keep the peace A TEENAGER who intervened and shouted at officers while police were arresting a number of youths in Clitheroe was bound over to keep the peace by Blackburn magistrates. Maxine Jodie Jeffries


(18), of Shawbridge Street, Clitheroe, admit­ ted a breach of the peace. She was bound over in the sum of £100 and ordered to keep the peace for 12 months.

AN established family firm has threaded its way into the Ribble


Valley. Founded 54 years ago


in Nelson by Walter Thomason, the business


which bears his name has opened an outlet in Moor Lane, Clitheroe. From humble begin­


nings when a belt and button making service was offered to the resi­ dents of Fendle, business has blossomed over the last five decades, and now the two Thomason's shops in Clitheroe and Burnley stock every­ thing the needlework enthusiast needs. Run by the third-gen­


eration of the Thomason family - brother-and-sis- ter team Paul and Lisa - the newly-opened Clitheroe shop is an oasis of delight for sewers. Selling


sewing machines and overlock­


ers is one of the shop's strong specialities, with the latest models by Toyota, Frister and Rossmann, Viking and Bernina all available for purchase. However, Thomason's also prides itself on providing a full repair and service facili­ ty to the owners of all makes of machines, as well as offering a collec­ tion and delivery service. When it comes to the


finer points of embroi­ dery, cross stitch and tapestry, there is a range of products for enthusi­ asts to peruse. - Lamps, magnifiers


and other accessories produced by The Day­ light Company are in stock, together with a wide range of threads such as silks by DMC and Venus, as well as the Anchor tapestry range, which are all on sale at discount prices. For those who prefer machine embroidery, Sulky threads in a range of tones, including metallics, are also avail­


able. In the double-fronted

artist John Corcoran, depicting scenes in Downham, Pendle and Wycoller, have been transferred to canvas and made into tapestry patterns. • These are available at


Thomason's along with a variety of ready-to-sew regional and local maps
