LOOKING BACK i 100 years ago
A “MEN only” address, entitled "Some Difficulties in Prayer", was given by the Rev. Wrigley in the parish church. The vicar told the large attendance that prayer was the most striking activity that could be exercised by man. Christ had said that it was neither politicians nor noted men who had the greatest part in shaping the des tinies of the nations of the world, but the men of prayer. ■ Mr Holgate’s mill at West Bradford
was closed for the day on the occasion of his daughter’s wedding. At 4-30, by his kind ness, the workpeople were provided with an excellent tea in the Parish Room. Following the tea, the White Rose Glee Club provided capital entertainment. I Councillors argued over a proposal to
pay 12 shillings a month to a teacher as travelling allowance, as well as a full salary. Pointing out the growing expenditure in education, Alderman Roberts said that if such was allowed teachers would all be hav ing a country residence, and that in the new Education Act many in the teaching pro fession had found an El Dorado.

ONLY 100 shopping days1 left to . This was the message from the busi
ness world and the TV commercials' went into full-scale action to advertise all the things tha t are likely to'be required in our present technological ' age - the children being'the main tar-' get. In answer to that, we must be wary
that we do not overspend and get into debt. Our Asian friends of the Muslim faith
have recently observed'tiie festival of Ramadan and a period of prayer and fasting. Fasting throughout the day is not easy when doing a full day’s work, as I noticed when I worked with Mus lims some time ago, in this country and overseas.

He came to teach us how'to'live ' -
according to God’s will and to give him self up on the cross, so that we can enjoy eternal life with Him.
Christmas time is a time for thinking
about our neighbours, friends and rela tions. Our civic leaders will be busy vis iting the sick in hospitals and dispatch ing presents to the elderly. - ■ ,c At this time we think of those recent

A NEW amphibious vehicle built by the Clitheroe engineering firm Atkinson’s Agri cultural Appliances Ltd was tested at a mill lodge at Lowerhouse, Burnley. The vehicle, named the Alligator, was fitted with patented rubber-jointed caterpillar tracks to enable it to travel over the roughest of ground and a propeller for use on water. It was primarily designed for military use, but it was hoped it could be utilised commer cially in swampy areas and on land drainage projects. ■ Teenager Jacqueline Brown dropped a
message in a bottle into the Ribble from the new bridge at Dinckley. A month later she received a letter saying her note had been found on Brighton beach by a boy. The two subsequently became pen friends. ■ A Clitheroe firm applied to sell small
quantities of horseflesh for animal feeding purposes from its Lowergate premises. The Jicence was granted, but several councillors objected; One said: “The slaughter of hors es is something of a national scandal, a bar
baric function.” 25 years ago
IT was revealed that revenue from the Rib ble Valley midibus service was not even covering wages and fuel. A spokesman for Ribble Motors, who ran the service with the backing of the council, gave a “use it or lose it” ultimatum. He said: “The future of the service rests entirely in the hands of the community it is designed to serve.” ■ A bull, valued at £500, was electro
cuted in the shippon at a Bolton-by-Bow- land farm. The bull was fastened to a rail by a chain and a short circuit in the power supply made the rail live. Another bull tied to the rail by a rope was unharmed. ■ Should men be allowed to join the WI
movement? The question brought a resounding “no” from members of Riming- ton WI when they discussed the matter at a meeting. ■ ■ I t was the turn of Gargrave to stage
the Pendle Forest and Craven Harriers Boxing Day meeting.
