Avenue, Clitheroe, wrote her review of ’’The Snow Lady", by Shirley Hughes, to win the Lancashire Coun­ ty Libraries award. Naomi (pictured below) described


how the story told of two children, Samantha and Barney, who went out on Christmas Eve to build a snow­ man, then named it after their neigh­ bour, Mrs Dean. : She wrote: "They got some stones


and put them out in letters to make Mrs Dean, but they rearranged it and did i t Mrs Mean because she was mean to them." . She said the good part of the story

LOOKING - SACK


100 years ago


ANOTHER letter was received from the Fishery Board complain­ ing of the bad state of the effluent from Sabden. A joint decision on the cost of constructing a bacterial system sewage bed was suggested.


□ The Board of Guardians


decided to increase the amount of out-relief for inmates during the Coronation week; adults one shilling, children 6d. A discussion took place as to


what age a child was no longer a child and though 14 years was favoured by some, for that event, considered unique, children over 10 years were classed as adults.


□ Lady Kay-Shuttleworth


attended the King's Court. She was dressed in yellow Duchesse satin with medallions of hand-painted lisse, embroidered in silver. Her cor­ sage was of the same shade of satin, with sprays of La France roses and court tra in of black


' Duchesse sa t in arranged with bunches of La France roses and old Venetian point lace. Ornaments; family diamonds.


□ Whitsuntide was not a partic­


ularly pleasant or successful one owing to the cold and unsettled weather. Most of the church festi­ vals were interfered with and in several cases no festivities were held


at all. 50 years ago


ANOTHER worker died on the Manchester Waterworks aqueduct scheme. Iwan Baran, a Ukranian living a t the workers' camp at Ellerbeck, Slaidburn, was over­ come by fumes in the Bowland tun­ nel section. Eight other men were overcome, bu t were revived and taken to hospital.


□ Councillor Frank Dugdale was


elected Mayor of Clitheroe. In his inaugural address he said: "Town and country marry in Clitheroe to the good of both. We have a habit of keeping the old until we are sure the new is better. Some think us slow and old-fashioned, but they concede we are decent, homely, friendly folk and wish every town could be as clean and orderly and pleasant to live in."


□ A correspondent criticised the


use of napalm on villages by allied air forces during the Korean war. He asked: "Why are the Americans in Korea at all? Surely the quarrel is between the North and South Koreans."


25 years ago


THE villagers of Downham trav­ elled back to the first Elizabethan era to present a country fair as part of their Silver Jubilee celebrations. Houses were festooned with flags and bunting and people wore Eliza­ beth an costumes. Traditional activities such as Maypole Dancing and a Mummer’s play were per­ formed in the brilliant sunshine.


□ Skin tests were carried out on


450 children a t St James's School following confirmation of a case of tuberculosis. The. District Commu­ nity Physician said that there was no cause for alarm as the affected child had not attended school for sometime.


□ Police were appealing for the


return of the plaques stolen from the war memorial. They thought th a t local youths who did not realise the seriousness of their actions were responsible and that the plaques might still be returned or recovered.
