er has informed local farm­ ers and the dog warden, and is now appealing to the


public to help him find Jock. He said: “I t ’s the first

DANISH visitors flew home with Santa as a reminder of their weekend in the Ribble Valley! Clitheroe Round Table played host


to five couples from its twin Table in Lemvig, Denmark. The visitors brought an ornate can­


dlestick as a gift for their hosts - and in return were presented with a giant illuminated Santa Christmas decora-


tionl A spokesman for the Clitheroe


Tablers explained that over 27 years of visits since the two Round Tables were twinned, a comical custom had devel­ oped. I t involved the visiting Round


Tablers being presented with a gift that would be most difficult to get onto the flight home.


During their visit, the Danes enjoyed a trip to Blackpool illumina­ tions on Friday and a trip over the bor­ der to Yorkshire on Saturday, visiting Skipton Castle and Bolton Abbey. Saturday night brought one of the


highlights of their stay - a celebration ceilidh at Chatbum school hall. On Sunday there was time for a farewell lunch at the home of Clitheroe


Round Table chairman Stewart Read before the visitors - and Santa - head­ ed for the airport.- The local Tablers are already look­


ing forward to a trip to Denmark next year.


Our picture shows the Danish visi­


tors and their hosts at the ceilidh on Saturday.

School lessons go down well!


ICE-CREAM was the popular subject for schoolchildren at Langho this week, i The 29 Year 2 youngsters at St Mary’s RC School have been learning about the seaside in their geography and science lessons. As a result, they took part in seaside-based


activities on Tuesday, part of which was learning about ice-cream making from Mrs Amanda Dowson, of Dowson’s Ice Cream. The children then had a hands-on session


themselves, mixing different flavours and try­ ing them. At the end qf the lesson, Dowson’s Ice Cream van arrived and the children, plus the staff working with them, were all treated to a cone. Year 2 teacher Mrs Catherine Keane said:


“Everyone enjoyed a really good day.” Our picture shows Mrs Dowson in the ice­


cream van with six-year-olds William Donlon and Katie Gaffing sampling the final prod­ uct.


(K071003/3) alarms save lives - fire-fighters at your service by Duncan Smith


SMOKE alarms save lives - but only if they are properly fitted and regu­ larly checked. That is the message from Clitheroe’s


retained fire-fighters, who attended two fires in the town recently and in both cases fitted smoke alarms before they left. The first was on Wednesday, October 1st,


when fire-fighters attended a fire in the attic bedroom of a house in Woone Lane. It caused severe fire damage to the attic room and some smoke damage to first-floor


bedrooms. The cause of the blaze is being investigated. , Just one smoke alarm was fitted in the


three-storey house and the fire-fighters fit­ ted a further two before leaving the scene. The second incident was at the “A Nu U”


beauty salon and gym in Whalley Road, Clitheroe, early on Saturday. A passer-by noticed flames inside the shop


and dialled 999 at around 6-35 a.m. Fire-fighters wearing breathing apparatus


forced entry to the premises and extin­ guished the fire, which was centred on a cup­ board housing a water heater. An electrical fault has been blamed.


In this instance, no smoke alarm was fit­


ted on the premises, although they are not occupied outside business hours. A spokesman for the fire-fighters said the blaze could have been much worse if not for the early and chance intervention by the passer­ by.


The business will remain closed until fur­


ther notice while repairs are carried out. ' Local firefighters will give general advice


fit are battery-free and guaranteed for 10 years. . Anyone wanting to take advantage of the


on fire safety and fit potentially life-saving smoke alarms free of charge. The type they


service can call at Clitheroe Fire Station, on Princess Avenue, on Monday evenings from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. or phone during that two- hour period on 01200 442148. Alternatively, call Hyndbum Fire Station


- a full-time staffed station - on 01254 235211 and leave your details, which will be passed on to Clitheroe. Fire Service personnel making house calls


or visiting business premises will only do so by prior arrangement, wearing uniform and carrying official identification. They do not make unsolicited calls and


anyone suspicious of an unsolicited caller at the door should alert the police.
