Policeman’s tale “Stick Around” was the title


of a talk given to members at the meeting o f Bolton-by- Bowland WI by former police­ man Mr Brian White. Wearing a George Formby


tie, as he belongs to the club, Mr White entertained mem­ bers with many funny stories before showing a wide variety of sticks, mostly made from hazel, and all accompanied with a little tale. The first one was a silver


topped stick, as always carried by Winston Churchill. Anoth­ er, a very elegant silver topped cane was like the one used by Queen Mary, and those old enough had an immediate memory of the old stately Queen using that style of cane. He showed a beautiful trout headed stick, made from a large curly horn which had taken 180 hours to bring down after boiling'the horn first to soften it. Mr White brought along his

The coun­ try was still in the midst of rationing and an active black market was operating. With the help of staff and family he still runs the busy and friendly shop in Chatburn, enjoying the personal contact with cus­ tomers. He told members about the


different cuts of meat and flavours telling them all his beef and lamb comes from


Scotland and pigs from Bal­ moral, all naturally fed on the beautiful green pastures. He also said that the interest in organic food is becoming very popular and although there has been a big increase in paperwork, hygiene is still a very important issue. Thanks were expressed by Mrs Sheila Sagar.
