ANOTHER attempt was made to pro cure the abandonment or recommenda tion of the scheme for establishing an epileptic colony at Langho. The plans had been adopted by the Manchester and Charlton Guardians, but some members insisted on a more modest scheme. ..........
□ November 1st was anticipated with
keen interest, bringing with it the occa sion of the annual election of four ratepayers to seats on the council. This was the day of the year in municipal mat ters when that august and all-powerful body, the public, once more exercised' its authority and revealed its desire and will.
. O Superintendent Keel expressed his
opinion that fighting in villages was far too prevalent and that rowdyism ought to ' be kept down with a firm hand. He said
•that' a good many young fellows'had got it irito their heads that they could have a bout of fisticuffs when it pleased them, blit' they must be shown that'the public could not tolerate those petty .quarrels even in remote villages.

THERE were three ways of developing good taste and a love for the best things in life, CRGS boys were told by Judge Allan Walmsley, Q.C., at the school's annual
Speech Day. He said that first was an appreciation . .
of music and drama, the second was the cultivation of a taste for the best in litera ture and the third way was a real appreci ation of nature. Through these the boys could make life, in spite of its difficulties and trials, a grand and glorious journey.
□ An announcement by the President
of the Board of Trade stated that Clitheroe was not included in the develop ment area for East Lancashire. He said that the town was not nearly as depen dent on the cotton trade as other towns, particularly Padiham, which had experi enced the highest unemployment in the

AN explosion at . Castle Castings caused "fireballs" to rain down on nearby houses. It was caused by the draining of hot slag from the furnace bottom, which fell into cold water which had run underneath the plant, setting off a fierce blast. Windows were'broken around the works, but, amaz ingly, no one was hurt, despite residents in Holden Street and Taylor
Street.rushing out of their homes as the flaming slag was sent shooting through the air. -
Hopes that the Ribble Valley would
' escape the effects of the'power-workers dispute were dashed. Supplies were cut off,-disrupting businesses and domestic life. Some shops closed, though others remained open using emergency .lighting, . mainly'in the form of candles.'
