want the twins to follow the three older ones in the family. The appeal papers have already


been returned to Lancashire County Council. "The boys certainly won't be going


to school at Walton-le-Dale," added Mrs Woodhead. A spokesman for Lancashire Coun­


ty Council said the situation had been -omplicated by the fact that the boys re at a Roman Catholic primary chool, but the family did not want


them to go on to the Roman Catholic high school. The decision automatically put


them lower down the list for the other schools in the Ribble Valley. The family's situation bears out con­

PUPILS at a Clitheroe junior school will be, able to take a tipple throughout the school day and they will be drawing on the walls. But parents of the 408 children of St


James' School need not worry - they are not being encouraged to take to strong drink nor to put graffiti on the walls. It is all part of an initiative, assisted by two


Clitheroe firms, to create healthier children learning in a healthier environment. The school is one of

THE main Whalley road out of Clitheroe was closed briefly on Monday at teatime. A blaze at the former milk depot in Croft Street

joined by family and friends for a party at the Petre Arms, Langho, where she had a few tales to tell. Mrs Carter was born


in 1912 at 16 Pendle View, Barrow, although the address is now part of Cockerill Terrace. She left school at 14 to work in a cotton mill at Whal- ley and was taught the trade by her brother, a weaver. During the depression


of the 1930s, the mill closed and she travelled to London and found a job in Bailey's Hotel in South Kensington. Aged 21. she worked in the still room, making teas, coffee and toast for guests, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., with a two- hour break from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. She received a half day o f f and 10
