late Cyril

BOOK rank­ ing in impor­ tance with the


proceeds from sales will be given to the Ainsworth Research Trust. The aim of the trust, set up by Mr Ainsworth, is to encour­ age research into local his­ tory within the Ribble Valley, and to give grants and assistance in the pub­ lication of such material. Research may be car­


ried out by individuals, students and groups and societies. Grant applica­ tion forms are available from the trust. Clitheroe Library is


among the outlets for the sale of the book. Details regarding fur­


ther outlets can be found by ringing 01200 424957 or 01254 813586. The book was launched


at the end of last month at the library. Clitheroe Mayor Coun. Mrs Joan Knight presented two


copies of the book to Mr Ainsworth's son; David - one for himself and one for his sister, Sarah, now living in America. The trust expressed its


thanks for the loyal and generous financial sup­ port given by David and Sarah to the work of the committee. A display of drawings,


paintings and pho­ tographs of Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley has been mounted at Clitheroe Library, togeth­ er with old maps of Lan­ cashire. Most of the material

School in rnoril


ONE of Clithcroe’s prima­ ry schools is being allowed to take in more reception year children from next | September. The headteacher of Fen-1


has not been seen before and so members of the public are invited to take advantage of the opportu­ nity to spend some time at the library, browse, and bring themselves up-to- date.


Century artists and engravers have come to light in recent months, but the trust emphasises that help is still needed to iden­ tify at least three of the items on display.

Young Joshua inspired by tale of a lion cub


A STORY about a boy who found a white lion cub inspired one Clitheroe eight-year-old to write a winning review. Joshua Parker (pictured right), of


Park Avenue, Chatburn, who wrote a review on “The Butterfly Lion” by author Michael Morpurgo, was crowned the Relay Readers scheme champion reviewer for November. The Relay Readers scheme is run


by Lancashire County Library Ser­ vice and encourages young people to read more books and write down their thoughts about them on a special review sheet. The scheme recognises monthly winners for the best review. Joshua, who is a pupil at Chatbum


Primary School, explained on his review sheet that the story was about a boy called Bertie who had found a white lion cub and became good friends. • He added: “Then one day Bertie


has to go to school in England and the cub is sold to a circus.” Joshua said he enjoyed reading the book because it was a ' nice story”


' and because he likes animals. He decided that. the part of the


story , which was especially good or bad was the part where Bertie tried to set the cub free but it would not go, so

shop and school and pub", meaning that it was very lucky. What he didn’t say, and I challenged


the BBC about it, was that the village also had (still) its church. When other parts of the fabric of


village life have gone, the church remains - though, like in all life, , it is changing. '

Countryside - a defining work, because it drew together so many viewpoints and areas of expertise. More recently,' and over the last five


years there have been the debilitating problems of BSE and foot and mouth, matters'that have left a permanent scar on farming. Alongside all that, there is the con­


tinuing scandal of milk prices and the fear for some of potato rot. Changes in administration have


meant a move- from MAFF to. DEFRA and now to LMA (?). From a system of subsidy there is '

good things are happening and there are things which give encouragement. The challenge for the institution is reflected sharply in the multi-churched parish, where new patterns and skills are required. That calls, of course,, for adequate


support from the centre. There are, too, new areas of engagement: em^nment, ecology, energy, climate change,‘because we are all involved. From.it come new opportunities for working together., Come Christmas; we shall join in cel­ ebration of the Birth of the One bom in

Former editor now a director of NHS Trust


A FORMER newspaper editor from the Ribble Valley has been appointed as a new non-executive director of Calderstones NHS Trust. Mr Peter Butterfield, of Hurst


Green, is the former editor of the Blackburn-based Lancashire Evening Telegraph. Since retirement from that full­


time role, he has worked as a PR consultant and a lecturer in jour­ nalism at Edge Hill College, in Ormskirk. He has been appointed to the


AT the Canterbury Street Barracks, Black­ burn, Lady Petrie presented the Clitheroe Company of the East Lancashire volunteers with the three cups won by them during the season’s shooting. The company had won the trophies a majority of times during the years they were presented. □ A Blackburn justice, one T.P. Ritzema,


possessed a peculiar taste. At a meeting he declared that he would like to go to gaol for a few weeks, because he was a passive resister. The editor suggested that if his fellow justices in Blackburn could not commit him, then if he would come to Clitheroe and do something desperate, like smash a lamp or knock down a policeman, the local magistrates would be willing to oblige him. □ A ladies’ class for physical culture was


formed in connection with the St Mary’s Girls’ Friendly Society. □ The death notices, which covered the


first week of December, included four chil­ dren, aged three months, five months, two years and seven years. 50 years ago


MORE than 300 people attended the Old Tyme Ball held by Ribblesdale and Hor- rocksford Social Club at the King Lane Hall. Sydney Thompson and his broadcasting orchestra were supported by Stanley Barker and his orchestra. □ “Sadler’s Wells? Never heard of them!”


That was the theme of members of Wiswell Women’s Institute, resplendent in ballet cos­ tumes and rosebud headdresses at the insti­ tute’s Christmas Party. Their burlesque bal­ let may not have been in the Fonteyn tradi­ tion, but it had the village hall in an uproar. □ Local MP Mr Richard Fort described


the House of Lords’ great debate on commer­ cial television. Lord Hailsham and Quintin Hogg opposed commercial competition with the BBC. However, the Lord Chancellor and Lord Salisbury denied that the bad always drives out the good and said that “our people” ought to have the freedom to choose what they see on television, under the safeguards against downright bad taste which the Gov­ ernment had put in force.


25 years ago


Calderstones NHS Trust board for his wealth of experience in commu­ nications, accumulated over a 40-. year career in print media. The appointment is lor four years and carries an annual remuneration


of £5,426. Mr Graham Parr, chairman,of


the Calderstones NHS Trust, said:1 “The appointment of Mr Butter­ field brings to the board additional" skills and experience which will fur-,, ther enhance the current expertise'; of the board members.


';/■ “I am.very much looking forward


to Peter taking up the appointment and seeing him become part, of the highly dedicated team at Calder­ stones.”


DISTRICT correspondents and the leaders of the area’s various sports, community and other organisations, were thanked for contin­ uing to send in items of news during the national strike of provincial journalists. The editor apologised for any shortcomings, par­ ticularly the reduced picture coverage of sea­ sonal events. □ The plans for the Ribble Valley Council’s


new offices were put on public display. How­ ever, a reader questioned the ultimate cost to the ratepayer, given that when the probable effect upon the council’s financial resources was discussed by the Policy and Resources Committee, the press and public were exclud­ ed from the meeting. He wondered what was so secret that those who were “paying the piper” could not be informed.' 0 Clitheroe Operatic and Dramatic Society


was seeking a bullwhip for its forthcoming production of “Calamity Jane”. A member said that it was not to whip the cast into


,shape, but was needed for cracking by the leading lady during the performance. ;
