year. And, although figures have dropped
2% from 2001, deaths.and serious injuries are on the increase. Andrew Sullivan, commercial train­

celebrates the achievements and ideas of non-board member employees who have made an outstanding impact on the suc­ cess of a business. Richard Hanscott, of Business Solu­

strated courage, determination and skill in adapting to the current economic envi­ ronment to help drive business success. “All five finalists have shown drive and

HAPPILY, the youth of Clitheroe was not well represented by three of i ts members who appeared before the town’s magistrates. Two lads had been practising the art of burglary, by a method th a t dis­ played a cuteness which would have profited them greatly if it had been directed into a better channel. The third was somewhat of a
wanderer, having twice deserted from the Navy. He left the shade of the colours for the full, free air of the country, but the law inter­ vened and he was again sent back to the Navy. ■ The fancy dress parade pro­
moted by the Clitheroe Cricket and Central Football Clubs proved very disappointing, both to the promoters and the large crowd which had assembled to witness
it.The prizes offered were more numerous than the competitors. However, the success of the ball, held in the Public Hall, somewhat atoned for the failure of the
demonstration. < ■ (The gasometer a tCh a tb um
belonging to the Bold Venture Company toppled over about half a yard, owing to the heat of the sun, which caused it to rise too far.

A CRAFTSMAN from Lowergate won first prize in the special exhi­ bition section of the National Shoe Repairing Competition in Lon­ don. He used 17,500 pin-points and opaque waxes for his Bridge of Sighs design on a pair of ladies shoes. He also won second prize for the men’s half-sole and heel hand- sewn class. ■ A feared water shortage led
to assurances from Clitheroe Council that it would do all in its power to help the district rural authority with regard to water supplies. ■ Although building new
homes was still important, officials considered th a t saving those dwellings which had degenerated to the classification of unfit hous­ ing was the chief problem to over­ come. Some 49 houses in the local area came under that classification and could be preserved.

A UNIQUE project was being compiled by the Assheton family in a bid to save Downham from a crippling tax bill which they believed could ruin the village. New Government legislation meant th a t Downham could become liable for substantial Cap­ ital Transfer Tax payments. The family feared th a t this
would force them to to sell up properties as they became vacant, resulting in them being snapped up by outsiders seeking weekend retreats or retirement homes. □ A Pendleton farmer com­
plained that the road
over.Pendle was becoming a death trap because of speeding motorists. He said: “Often the accidents happen in the morning when people are rushing becauseHhey are late for work. If they got up 10 minutes earlier they wouldn’t have to go so fast.” ’ □ A lion was being sought after

cerned as to what to do if they had been the first person on the scene," he said. Members of the group attending were
so impressed with the content and the way in which it was delivered that a fur­ ther two courses have been planned for later this year. The courses cost in the region of £60
per person, including handouts, refresh­ ments, lunch and a certificate. Dis­ counts will be available for groups. Anyone wanting more information

Thanks for getting my bike back!
A COUNCILLOR has thanked the police for recovering a 40-year- old bicycle of cherished family value. As reported some
weeks .ago in the Advertiser and Times, the bicycle was stolen from the home of Billington and Langho Ribble Valley Borough Council representative Coun. Graham Sowter. It is of a rare, especial­ ly large design and was taken despite being stored and secured. Coun-. Sowter
appealed for its return through this newspa­ per but it was the efforts of police investi­ gating several offences which located the bicy­ cle. Inquiries are ongo­ ing and a man is being sought. At a Lancashire
Police Authority public meeting in Whalley, Coun. Sowter said he was very pleased to thank the force, includ­ ing local officer PC Mark Ilolgate.
