A NEW law outlawing the use of mobile phones in vehicles is being introduced in December. Under the legislation police will be able to prosecute ‘for an offence
of using a hand-held mobile phone while driving’. There will be a fixed penalty of
£30 or a fine on court conviction of up to £1,000. Now Lancashire Constabulary is

has been decided tha t “hands-free systems” will include those devices that can be purchased very cheaply
and clipped to the dashboard, into which a mobile phone can be placed and which incorporates a speaker system powered
from.the cigarette lighter. Chief Insp. Val Prince, said:
“Hopefully this will give every
body the chance to fit a device to. their vehicle which will allow them to use their phones legally. “The constabulary doesn’t want to

Popular peer is a hit as guest speaker
THERE was a large audience when Lord Hat- tersley spoke to members of the University of the Third Age in Clitheroe. Introduced by U3A chairman Mrs Margret
Shaw, the speaker delivered a fascinating sum mary of the life and influence of the founder of Methodism, John Wesley. Arising out of research for his book "A Brand
from the Burning", the speaker pointed out that Wesley had greatly influenced the social struc ture and industrial climate of the 18th Century, as well as setting the tenets of Methodism for which the preacher is better known. The afternoon talk was oversubscribed and

worked in Third World coun tries and they will be away from home for six months. Sarah said: "We both want to
help children in poorer countries and to find out first hand what their lives are like, so we can perhaps help improve their future a little." Amy added: "The thought of
living away from home for six months, and living and working in very basic conditions is a bit daunting, but it is something we both felt we should do." The girls, who gained three
A-levels each, are applying to go to university next year - Amy to study English and Sarah to study medicine. Both hope to continue their interest in com munity work.
