L. ^ ' Since then; not only have my shop


hours been,extended to make it a full shopping day, i.e., 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but last year I had to take on additional staff on a Wednesday. ;Monday and Wednesday were very similar in average takings to Tuesday and Thursday in the last 12 months. Secondly, for a retail centre to be suc­


cessful; I believe it is imperative that your customers know what hours you are open and that consistency is seen in opening hours. It is no good having retailers who decide they will close early because they have had a quiet day.

It must be Skippy if there is a prize for George to collect


SKIPPY, a two-year-old terrier, is a v e ry good guard dog. .. He will probably have


to be, because he has got • into the habit of choosing winning lottery numbers for his lucky owner. So far he has provided


enough winning numbers to keep himself comfortably in dog biscuits and bones. Skippy’s proud owner Mr


George O’Neill has trained his pet to use a special sys­ tem to select the numbers, which has brought about sev­ eral £10 lottery wins, and his biggest prize of a £52 win. Every week Skippy picks


six numbered table-tennis balls out of a bag of 49 balls to choose the lottery num­ bers. This technique has proved very effective; Recently, Skippy chose


balls with four of the winning lottery numbers - and brought Mr O’Neill his best prize so far. He followed this with yet another £10 scoop four days later. •Mr O’Neill, pictured, right, with Skippy, is a regu­ lar visitor to the town. His family all originated in the Clitheroe area. He now lives in Bury with Skippy. In the last six months, the


terrier has managed to pre­ vent two house break-ins by successfully alerting Mr O’Neill by barking at the intruders and then waking up his owner. (CR150403/1)


Barbara at conclusion of her golden journey of discovery

A JOURNEY of discov­ ery has resulted in an- award for a Langho woman. Mrs Barbara Cooper


received her Gold Discov­ ery Award at a ceremony at a Whalley Trefoil Guild coffee evening.

i discovery” were all includ-': ed in the award. She completed her com­


munity service through; her Meals-on-Wheels work, which she has been, doing for five years. Mrs.- Cooper taught herself t’ai chi, took up watercolour painting, and studied geneology. '

Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 42


100 years ago


THE Pope received in private audi­ ence Mr Justice Walton, on behalf of the Stonyhurst Association, and Mr Robert Colley, head student of. Stonyhurst College, who presented his holiness with a magnificently illu­ minated address in book form, signed by all the community and stu­ dents at the college. .


□ The Surveyor and Inspector of


Nuisances was iristructed to examine and report thereon, when Alderman Parkinson complained to the Health Committee of certain nuisances at the tripe works and at Pimlico, caused principally by the former not being in a sanitary condition and also that Pim­ lico was not sewered.


- □ At a meeting of the Board of Guardians, Mr R. C. Assheton, C.A., who had for so long worthily filled that office, was re-elected to chairman, as was also his able lieutenant, Mr W. Hanson, vice-chairman.


; O Sunday was Primrose Day and. the


pretty, delicate flowers were noticed adorning many a buttonhole.'' i .


50 years ago


IT was reported that the sight of men with ladders tending the gas lamps on the streets of Clitheroe would be a mere memory in five years, for the system of street light­ ing in Clitheroe was about to be replaced.by electricity. Apart from giving the town a more “up-to-date” iihage, the chief advantages of the system would be the savings in fuel costs and the men’s wages.


□ A party of 20 Clitheroe Parish


Church choirboys travelled to Chester Cathedral at the invitation of the Dean. They sarig Evensong, the first time that the Parish Church had pro­ vided the choir for a cathedral service. The boys responded to the honour with some fine choral singing.


□ The largest grouped audience of


the B.B.C was found in a battery cabin on the poultry farm of Mr. Edward Speak in Wiswell. A group of 600 hens listen to the wireless from 9am to 6.30pm. The‘purpose of this bizarre practice was to get the hens used to a background noise, so that when people entered the cabin, the noise made would not frighten them.


25 years ago


TEENAGE vandals diced with death on the new Riverside housing estate, Low Moor. They wrecked new brickwork, but warnings from the site agent indicated that mason­ ry and scaffolding that was inter­ fered with could topple on them. < During one night six sections of brick wall which had just been fin­ ished were demolished. Further dam­ age was prevented by the action of the site watchman.


□ The adjudicator at Clitheroe’s


,13th annual Festival of Plays compli- Imented the venue, the town’s Civic >


Hall. He said: “I had heard about, the


• place, but I didn’t believe it until I saw it for myself. “I am very impressed - it is not like a civic hall, but something very dear and well-nurtured.” The Fes­ tival was 'considered to be one of the best in the country.

u r t Ribble Valley will


one of the rarest! A SPECIES of tree which is rapid­ ly becoming one of Britain's rarest is to be planted in the Ribble Val­ ley.


The black poplar, the majestic


tree that provided the backdrop to Constable's masterpiece the Hay- wain, is represented in Lancashire by only an estimated 200 exam­ ples. The problem is made worse by the fact that there are only two female trees in the county, and no male1, trees anywhere near. That, coupled with the loss of much'of the black poplar's natural habitat, has meant that the tree cannot reproduce from seed. Lancashire County Council's


ecology officer, Mr Peter Jepson, said: "We intend to plant more black poplars this autumn near the Rivers Ribble and Lune. By planting male and female trees close together, we hope that they will begin to seed and produce more saplings.
