them that the way they.hehave now will have a marked effect on the health of their backs in future years.


. This is in an attempt to persuade ' ]


Trust spokesman Mrs Janice Atkin­ son, said: "There is a big problem.and ,


we are trying to catch i t early. Back problems are caused by things like chil­ dren'carrying heavy satchels lop-sided over their shoulders or the girls wear­


ing high heels." . By 14, half of all children will have


experienced some hack discomfort and, by the time they reach adulthood, 2.5 million of them will have hack pain ■ every single day. A trust physiotherapist talked and


used the skeleton to demonstrate to primary school pupils to mark Nation­


al Back Pain',Week, beginning at Brookside County Primary; School, Clitheroe.


The children were invited to take • “ "


part in a competition which will be judged by the Rovers physio, and a Blackburn player will present the


prizes. In our picture, Brookside School


pupil Bethany Harrison and her class­ mates listen to Clitheroe Physiothera­ py Centre senior physiotherapist Jane Whitaker as she emphasises the prob­ lems that can he caused by carrying heavy backpacks. (C151002/10)


Signup to sing a fine song;


A DECISION has been taken to expand the size , of the A Cappella Singers and, as a result, there are several vacancies. ■ : In order to improve the


overall quality, the group needs two altos, two tenors and, possibly, a soprano. It is essential that any Ribble Valley residents wishing to join the A Cappella Singers should be able to blend in with the- rest of the group. Ideally, they should be able to read music to a reasonable standard, hut anyone currently singing in a choir will he aware of this requirement. The group is well respected as a member of the National Federation of Music Societies. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings in the Wilpshire area of Blackburn. . Plans are. now .well


advanced for the Christ­ mas Concert in Decem­ ber and a concert to take place in April in aid of the Air Ambulance. But free,dates are still avail­


able for late springliincl. the remainder of 2003.'.


Musical Director


Chris Gill will be leaving the group at the end of the year, so this has also created a new vacancy


. that wijl need to be filled early m the new year.;. Further details can be obtained from chairman-

looking' BACK , 100 years ago


A SPINNER from Blackburn, suffer­ ing from consumption, was ordered by • his doctor to go to California for his health. "I can't afford," he told the doc­ tor. "Then go to Clitheroe," came the gruff retort. The sick man did so and recovered. . • The truth of the statement was con­


firmed when Medical Officer to the Coiiricil, speaking on local longevity at a Bowland Council dinner; claimed that we live in not only the prettiest but the healthiest valley in England.


□ A question was asked about the


planned construction of a light railway between Blackburn, Accrington, Bum- ley and Clitheroe, as twelve months had elapsed since the proposal for the scheme had received assent from the Board of Trade.


■ - O The old October cattle, horse and sheep fair was held in the streets of the i town- The attendance of dealers and buyers was much larger than usual and '


the show was a large one. The chief characteristic of this fair was its grow­ ing importance as a Shire foal sale.


50 years ago


THE Princess Royal passed almost unnoticed through Clitheroe district. She was.returning to Harewood Hall from an official engagement, the ser­ vice of reconsecration of Liverpool Parish Church, which had been rebuilt after bombing during the Second World War. Some villagers recognised; her, as she frequently visited Waddow Hall Girl Guiders' Traing Centre and ;she returned their cheery waves. .


□ Memories of a pioneer motor car


industry were revived when an enthu­ siast from Vermont, USA contacted the Town Clerk. The writer needed spare parts for his L.M. car, built in Clitheroe by the Midland Light Car Company Ltd. The Castle Street works, closed some 40 years before, had made bicycles prior to car manufacture and both-were described as very ser­ viceable.


□ At a town council meeting, a Con­


servative Party proposal to form a committee to enquire into the sale of council houses was defeated by; a majority vote. Conservative council­ lors said the matter should be investi­ gated further as a large number of councillors owned their homes and it was quite illogical to deny this to coun­ cil house tenants.


25 years ago


BETTER facilities were requested at Ribhlesdale Pool for youngsters to park their bicycles. The bikes were being vandalised and parts'stolen as they had to be left in the racks at the rear of the pool building and were out of general view.

• □ Lancashire County Council •decided to abandon a large-scale cam-


, paign to halt the ravages of Dutch elm ^ disease. The Ribble Valley Parks .'Superintendent said that it would mean a drastic reduction in the num­ ber of elms, probably more than 10,000 trees over the following 10 years. ■
