LAST week’s mystery band photograph was quick­ ly identified - by the sons of two of the musicians. However, there was some dispute as to which band was pictured. Mr John Lofthouse said that he was pleased to


there were mental scars which were not obvious - my father rarely talked about the war at all.” In the 1920s, when the picture was probably


see the picture of Hurst Green Band, with his father, Moses, a euphonium player, in the centre of the back row. Mr James Dcvaney told us th a t his father,


own and this has been in the family for over 70 years. “For some reason my father is not wearing the uniform, only its cap. My grandfather, Frank Livesay, is at the front on the left with the big drum - my father married his daughter, my mother.” Mr Moses Lofthouse was born in 1880 and his


Jimmy, was also on the picture, but identified the band as Clitheroe Borough Band. His father was pictured playing the cornet on the left of the bass drum player in the middle row. Mr Lofthouse has a copy of the picture of his


musical skills, plus his age, saw him enter the Army as a bandsman during the First World War. He was soon fighting at the front, however. “I know my father experienced terrific bombard­


ments, but he was never wounded - his two brothers also came back physically safe from France although they were at the front too and one was captured. But


taken, every community had a band. “The Hurst Green one had a room above the stables at the Shireburn Arms,” says Mr Lofthouse. “I am not sure how long the band remained in existence but it was part of the area’s history and it is nice for people to be reminded of that.” Mr Devaney, of Chapel Lane, Grindleton, sug­


gested that the picture was taken pre-1914. His father was, he said, in the borough band for most of his life. The Devaney family lived in Salthill Road, Clitheroe. Mr Devaney left the area to march with the volunteers to the war and was sta­ tioned in Mesopatamia for four years. When he returned, he re-joined the band. The borough band was, said Mr Devaney, run by


the Southworth family, the owners of Jubilee Mill. The family helped to pay for the instruments and the band room was at the Crown Inn, Clithoroe, above the dentist's surgery, a t the.bottom of Church Brow. ”1 used to go and listen to them prac­ tising," he recalled. His father's love of music continued through his


son, and Mr Devaney told us that he used to play in dance bands around the area for many years.


THOUGHT - f o r the week


INCLUDED among all the infor­ mation about our summer holiday was a guide to driving on the Con­ tinent. According to this, driving in


■are the signposts. According to our booklet these occur after the junc­ tions! In many ways, life is like this.


Belgium is a real experience. It lias the highest density of roads in Europe, but there appears to be no real thought to the layout. Hence dual carriageways arrive in ham­ lets and major roads can have pot­ holes in the middle. Most intriguing of all, though,


Signposts only come to mind after decisions have been made. If we are honest, I expect many of us can look back and realise the mistakes we have made which at the time seemed an obvious route to follow. I remember reading the story of


motivated by anger or by pure self- interest. This cannot be good for the individuals concerned or for society as a whole. Community spirit has waned; apathy and intol­ erance seem to be growing in impact. Surely this has to be arrested. At the heart of the Christian

message is the importance of recognising our wrong turnings; that is to accept our mistakes and seek forgiveness, and then a need to find the direction of love. A love that is informed by God’s love for us in granting us the privilege of life, a love given example by the way of Jesus, a call to love in an indiscriminate way, if you like to love all. This does hot mean approving


the son of Ian Smith, the leader of- Rhodesia, and the radical change in his life in meeting one of the leaders of the groups calling for majority rule. How in two men meeting common humanity over­ came the prejudice that both had never really questioned. While our experiences may have


been on a smaller scale, we all have the sense of wrong direction that has been part of who we are. The crucial thing is trying to find the correct path once more. When I drive through Belgium this sum­ mer, I will be armed with a map to help if we become lost. The ques­ tion for all of us though is from where we gain our sense of direc­ tion.

of things that are amiss, but still trying to love so that the burden of hatred does not weigh us down and contaminate all aspects of life. We need to see love as the vital tool in reclaiming a way forward that jet­ tisons what our society is becom­ ing and helps formulate a new approach with justice and love at its heart.' -O . Some years ago there was a pop­


ular song tha t had the words “What the world needs know is love sweet love, not just for some, but for everyone.” If this could be our anthem, then the positioning of signposts would be less impor­ tant because our example for each other would be an effective guide. Richard J. Atkinson

Now the heat is really on for Ribble Valley Council


WILL Ribble Valley Borough Council join others in the North- West to pledge to take practical steps to tackle the problems of global warming? The Nottingham Declaration on


Climate Change commits councils to prepare a plan with their local com­ munities to address both the causes and effects of climate change. So far almost 70 local authorities in


England and Wales, including seven in the North-West, have signed this, and I am encouraging others to follow this example. Lancashire County Council and Hyn-


dburn, Preston and Chorley councils have led the way in Lancashire by sign­ ing up to the declaration. The recent hot weather has provided a taste of things to come. Leading sci-


Success of distinction leads to a top award for Eleanor


A FORMER Clitheroe Royal Grammar School pupil has received an award for outstanding achievement. Miss Eleanor Mallett


(20), of Standen Road, Clitheroe, studied for a Higher National Diploma in Business and Marketing at Blackburn College. And she managed to


gain an incredible eight distinctions from a possible eight. Eleanor (pictured right)


was awarded a certificate and a cheque for £50. Her tutor, Mr Mike


Keane, said: "Eleanor has worked very hard through­ out the course and deserves the prize. “Her results are remark­


able." w®*, ...............„ : •-■■■■ A s - 1 s e e i t . . . b y C h r i s D a v i e s

enlists predict that average tempera­ tures will increase by up to 3.5% over the next century, creating not only blis­ tering summers, but also increased rain­ fall and storms in winter. Unless action is taken the world could get hotter and hotter indefinitely. International measures to reduce the


scale of climate change must be the pri­ ority, but global warming is already tak­ ing place and local authorities must be ready for the problems this will cause. Hotter, drier summers will bring an increased risk of property subsidence,


while wetter winters may cause damp, condensation and mould problems. Councils will have to plan for preven­


tative and remedial maintenance of housing, as well as make changes to building inspections. Higher temperatures are likely to


increase cases of food poisoning and environmental health officers must plan to increase awareness of food hygiene matters. Rubbish bins may have to be emptied


more frequently as household waste will decay more rapidly in higher tempera­


tures. Waste taken to landfill will have to be monitored carefully as higher tem­ peratures and heavy rain may affect waste breakdown. Many council services, buildings and


infrastructure will be affected and com­ prehensive planning is needed to ensure local communities do not suffer. The solutions to these problems can


be worked into ongoing council mainte­ nance programmes now to avoid major problems and costs in later years. Tak­ ing time now to consider future adapta­ tion to climate change could save time and money in the future. North-West councils which have


signed the Nottingham Declaration are Bury MBC, Chorley Borough Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, Lan­ cashire County Council, Preston Bor­ ough Council, Salford City Council and Stockport MBC.


LOOKING BAGEr 100 years ago


AT a heated and interesting debate in Clitheroe’s council chamber, members showed rather too much of a liking for the superlative degree and personal invective. The resolution referred to the delay in the provision of a slaughterhouse, when the existing ones had been adjudged a nuisance. It was considered essential for the satisfaction of the town that the Henthorn abattoirs should not be allowed to stand longer than necessary. □ The owners of houses in Victoria Street and Duer-


den Row, Sabden, were summoned for failing to erect “suitable privies” for the tenants. They asked for the summonses to bo stayed, as they had submitted plans for the privies. □ The Empire Electric Light and Power Company Ltd


gave notice of intention to make application for a provi­ sional order to supply electricity in the Borough of


Clitheroe. Coun. Garnett thought it most desirable in order to prevent a private company coming to the locality, building a plant and charging what it pleased for supply.


50 years ago


MONTHS of anxiety came to an end for Clitheroe housewife Mrs Florence Parkinson when she heard that her husband, Rifleman Sidney Parkinson, had been released by the Communists following the end of the Korean War and would be returning home. When told the news, she raced to tell their three children, the youngest of whom was two-and-a-half years old and had not yet been seen by his father. □ The wavering fortunes of the cotton trade became


apparent again. The words “weavers wanted” replaced the term “short time working” in Clitheroe’s mills, most of which were short of operatives and were advertising to fill vacancies. The introduction of the housewives shift, 6 to 10 p.m., was welcomed by mothers unable to work a full day, as it meant that their husbands could supervise their children. Q The water supply position in Whalley, Wiswell, Bar-


row and Pendleton was serious. Everyone was warned that only a sustained maximum saving could prevent the imposition of rationing or intermittent supply.


25 years ago


POLICE warned farmers in the Chatburn and Down- ham areas to guard against modem-style rustlers after a pair of two-week-old calves were stolen from a locked building at Chatburn in separate thefts. During another incident, thieves were foiled by a farm employee a t a large house near Chatburn as they tried to load five ponies onto a lorry. □ A fractured water main left Bolton-by-Bowland res­


idents without water. After a long search and an 18-hour repair, supplies wore reconnected, though villagers were inconvenienced for only four hours as an old main was utilised temporarily. □ During work a t Borough Printing, York Street,


Clitheroe, the managing director discovered part of the floor comprised a large gravestone. I t bore the name of the Earnshaw family, members of whom had died between 1778 and 1821. As the area was not a grave, it was assumed to have been removed from a local church­ yard.
