OUR readers have come to the rescue and reunited a mother with some family holiday pictures of her chil­ dren. The transatlantic mystery

enquiry Mrs Rhys explored in a bid to locate the previous occupants of her house some five years previously, she drew a blank. . She tried telephone direc­

, doors of neighbours in the 'search for information, all without avail, trying to find “Sasha and Bridget Kiry- lake” and th e ir children, Anthony, Oliver and George, to whom the parcel is adressed.-

OWING to the prevalence of scarlet fever in Chatburn, the day schools were closed until further notice. A child of six years had already succumbed to an attack of the dis­ ease.


□ Mr Albert Titterington, of West Brad­


ford, won first prize at the Delph Agricul­ tural Show with a fine Andalusian cock and was very highly commended for a hen of the same breed.


□ Rising from the ranks is generally a


term synonymous with hard work, persis­ tence, ability and valour, characteristics which few men possess. However, Lieu­ tenant Hilton, of Langho, was one of those who did, though he only entered the Army as a private 11 years earlier. The act which brought him his commis­


sion, the coveted honour of all aspiring sol­ diers, occurred at the Battle of the Modder River, where, beneath a storm of Boer bul­ lets, he rescued an armoury sergeant and.


carried him to safety. The inhabitants of Langho and Billing-


ton marked their approbation of his career by presenting him with an illuminated address and a gold watch, suitably


inscribed. 50 years ago


A FELLOW soldier and friend of Rifleman Sidney Parkinson, of Clitheroe, was released by the Chinese under the sick pris­ oners exchange scheme, agreed by the Unit­ ed Nations and communist negotiators. He was able to relay to Mrs Parkinson at her Highfield Road home the good news that her husband was fit and well, although he had not received any of her mail. The two soldiers had been taken prisoner during the Korean War.


□ Special acts of service were being per­


formed by the Guides and Brownies in the Clitheroe District as their tribute to the Queen in Coronation Year. Many local organisations benefitted from their work and they also planted trees, made flower boxes and provided a new flag for Down- ham Church.


O The speaker at a public meeting at the


Conservative Club said: “The sooner we can get away from municipal building and get back to private enterprise, the sooner we will have cheaper houses.” The meeting was held in support of the Conservative candidates for the Municipal Elections.


25 years ago


THE Mayor of Clitheroe, Coun. Bob Ainsworth, called a “showdown” meeting over Ribble Valley Council’s plans to build a new town hall. He wanted a public meeting to find out


exactly what people felt about the scheme. He said the vast majority of those he had spoken to opposed it.
