THE city fathers had a lively time at a meeting of the Clitheroe Town Council. Their sitting of six and a half hours
. established a record. Important matters were up for discussion and the Educa tion Scheme for the Borough produced a heated debate. There was some relief, though, as
councillors accepted Messrs Whipp’s offer of £350 for the slaughterhouses. This eased the fears of the workers at the adjacent Victoria Mill, owned by the Whipps and threatened with closure should the slaughterhouses not be shut.

Very popular reading
• "Clitheroe and the Ribble Val ley." Tour guide Steve Chapman called with another copy, again
WITHIN hours of publication, last week's item about the Clitheroe booklet discovered in a bookshop in Edinburgh pro duced numerous responses. Coun. Howel Jones told us tha t he too had a copy of
, from the same era, possibly late 1920s. Mr Chapman also pro- duced a fascinating booklet enti tled: "Short Spins." Priced at 2d, it was, the cover said, the second series and was packed with cycle routes varying in length from a few miles to 80-plus. Many of the routes covered started from around the Blackburn area and, with a picture of a lady with a long skirt and a feather in her hat riding a bicycle on the cover, also appeared quite arduous. Gordon Hill, of Clitheroe's
Bowdon Books, replied to say that he had read the item with interest. "We have two copies in our
Clitheroe bookshop. I t is partic ularly useful to us because of the list of books on pages 87-88, and especially the publications to do with Clitheroe. There is a simi lar publication, published around the same time, with a photograph of Castle Street, with the castle in the back ground as the front cover. The style of the cars suggests 1930s- 1940s. Other than that, these publications are very difficult to date, unless anyone has informa tion about the advertisers. Inci dentally, both our copies bear the same cover design as the one you have." If anyone can help with the
date, Mr Hill would be only too pleased to hear from them.

THE two sections forming the Marl Hill Tunnel at Waddington were joined by the tuhnellers. The two teams met under the fell and found that the margin of error in the level was not more than one eighth of an inch and in direction not more than two inches. The tunnel is two miles in length and is part of the Man chester Waterways Aqueduct scheme.
□ A visiting Socialist MP spoke at a
meeting held' by Billington and Langho Labour Party. He said tha t Britain would be a third-rate power but for nationalisation, adding that the party that controlled steel controlled the eco nomic power of the country.
□ The story of the boy who “baled
out” from his bedroom window appeared three days later in The Detroit News. As a result the boy received a let ter, with a cutting, from a US Airman who bore the same name as him. The family replied to the letter and enclosed a guidebook of Clitheroe. The boy’s father nailed the window shut to prevent further nocturnal, aerial exploits.

A'NEW order issued by Ribble Valley Council meant shops selling certain goods would be allowed to open on Sun days. The President of Clitheroe and District Chamber of Trade said that the gift shops in the villages would benefit most but that half a dozen shops in the town would probably open. The order was introduced to help shops take advantage of the tourist trade.
□ A petition was signed by 20 resi
dents of Pimlico Road protesting about the night-time throbbing of a train mov ing wagons from Ribblesdale Cement Works. One said: “The locomotive arrives at 1 a.m. and sits with its engine running, which wakes us up. Fumes invade the house, then once it’s gone it’s difficult to drop off again.” •
