gaining converts. Widely accepted by the medical profession-
and featuring in the training of doctors and nurses, there is a vast arsenal of treatments available, many with origins dating back thousands of years.
CHIROPRACTIC This treatment was developed in America
and treats the body as a whole, rather than just the area in pain. X-rays are sometimes used to help in the initial diagnosis. The technique involves short, sharp thrusts directly onto the "tight or stuck" joints. Joints may need manip ulating several times a week.
ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE . A therapy concerned with re-educating the
body and ridding it of bad postural habits which can cause pain. It is a hands-on therapy in which the therapist gently releases tight areas and is good for those who suffer repetitive strains brought about by bad postures.
OSTEOPATHY Treats the body as a whole, concentrating on
the soft tissues. Using manipulation and mas sage, the osteopath brings about normal func tioning to areas of the body by freeing them. A case history will be needed, a physical exami nation and possibly x-rays before treatment

n REFLEXOLOGY ! ■ tin/-. Basically a foot massage, reflexologists use
their hands to apply pressure to specific points of the foot. It is based on
the.idea th a t ; lines of energy run through the body and these link all the organs to certain "reflex" points in the feet. By putting more pressure on particular points, energy
is.said to b e , stimulated, thus healing the area of pain. It is said that a headache can be relieved by pressure being applied to the base of the big toe and back pain by pressure along the arch of the foot.
KINESIOLOGY A holistic means of keeping body and
mind in the best state of health and improv ing the body's natural self-healing ability. It utilises the lines and points of energy as used in acupuncture. Nutritional deficiencies can be ascertained by checking the response from reflex points on the body. Herbal examples are used to see if they can help against condi tions such as asthma, arthritis, eczema, migrain, irritable bowel etc. Kinesiology can be used to release emotional stress, remove fears and phobias, reduce pain and improve posture.

THE larger-than-life view of New York’s underworld, originally dreamed up by Damon Runyon is being recreated in Clitheroe later this month. Members of the Glitheroe
Parish Church Amateur Operatic Society are busy in - rehearsals for “Guys and
Dolls”. This comedy musical was
based on a Runyon short, story and played 1,200 per formances in New York after it opened in 1950. Five years later, the show
was converted to a success ful film starring Marlon , Brando, Frank Sinatra and , Jean Simmons. -In the Clitheroe show, ,
directed by Alan Miller, the Marlon Brando part of Sky Masterson is being taken by Brian Haworth; and-the Frank Sinatra part of. Nathan Detroit will be1 ;l 1" "■ played by Gary Worthy,1 Of ’ ;'; Blackburn. Clitheroe Royal Gram

Cold and sunny day for ramblers’ trip
ON a cold, sunny day, Clit.jtierpe (,,Ranjblers psed the train for a’fiye- mile linear walk linking
the Ribble Valley rail way stations of Langho and Whalley. Last Wednesday after
noon, members caught the train from Clitheroe and disembarked at Langho. The party of 15, led by
Mr Ben Brown, made its way up to the top of York Road, a fine viewpoint over the reservoirs of Dene Clough and Par sonage to Pendle and beyond... . , Dropping down to
Dene Clough reservoir, a cormorant was seen
'standing with out stretched wings, while a party of 17 Canada geese fed on the'grass. The permissive foot
path was' followed along the' south eastern shore arid'then along the top of the dam to the north eastern end. Some very muddy
paths were negotiated as the group followed the “pair of clogs” waymarks of the Hyndburn Clog route across Sunny Bank and then bisected Black
Hill .jWood up to the
; yegain.,(fie, ^high! g ro u n d , again^n; Moor Lane; >;,, • Atithis point the leader
decided there would be sufficient time for a slight extension to be made, without missing the train, so the party contin ued along Moor Lane towards Brierley Farm,
: taking a footpath across to the cul de sac road leading to Dean Lane and Whalley Banks. After passing through
Nab Wood, the walkers paused briefly to take in the splendid aerial view, of Whalley and across the railway viaduct. The, last' leg took the
ramblers all the way down, re-crossing Moor Lane, Whalley Old and: Whalley New Roads to cross the River Calder alongside the viaduct. Next Wednesday’s
afternoon walk, on Feb ruary 12th, is in the Boltonrby-Bowland area. Anyone interested should meet at Chester Avenue car park at 1 p.m. and inquiries should be made to Pat Parrott on 01200 423125.

Blue Peter’s appeal to raise money to support clean water projects across the world as statistics suggest that a child dies somewhere in the world every 15 sec onds from water-related diseases.

www.qlitheroetoday.co.uk Landmark month for camera club members
THE 'end of January,' marks something of a landmark in the Ribbles- dale Camera Club’s calen dar. N Not only are the days
drawing out, but the weather becomes colder and clearer, and much better for photography. Another reason1 is the
last competition in the Winter series, which has double points available for the best entries in the two categories, open and on a theme, providing an excit ing end to the series. This year the theme was
as the last winter competition is judged ety. I t is to his great credit that he is prepared to trav-
