Easter. 100 years ago
THE annual meeting of Clitheroe Trades and Labour Council met a t the Weavers’ Institute. After normal business had been transacted, mem bers strongly condemned Government policy of introducing Chinese labour into the Transvaal, as being against the best interests of the worker and also returning to the days of slavery. B Easter was spent very quietly in Clitheroe,
probably on account of the boisterous weather, which meant the influx of visitors was not so great as usual. As was customary, though, large numbers of
pleasure seekers journeyed to Whalley to enjoy this pretty little spot on Good Friday. B A letter from the Lancashire Asylum Board
was read to the Board of Guardians, informing them that the cost of maintaining lunatics in the county would be reduced from 9s lid to 9s 4d.

War is declared on flytippers As I see i t . . .by
AR has been declared on ille gal flytippers by the Country Land and
Business Association
(CLA). It is calling on the public as
well as farmers and landown ers to put together an over whelming case for stronger action to combat this grow ing menace in the country side. Several Ribble Valley beau
ty spots have been ruined by flytippers in the past. Earlier this year an entire
demolished garage, including asbestos sheets, was dumped in a country lane a t the edge of Clitheroe. Each time it happens it is
left to the local council to clear up the mess and local council tax payers to foot the bill. CLA regional director
Douglas Chalmers said: “People are fed up seeing rub bish dumped in ditches, fields, country lanes and beauty spots. The country side is particularly vulnerable to flytippers, but there is very

little information on flytip ping hotspots and the type of rubbish which gets most fre quently dumped. “Flytipping is not just
unsightly.Yes it can turn beauty spots into grot spots, but it can also block access to fields, pollute watercourses and injure livestock and peo ple. “Potentially hazardous
material such as asbestos fre quently finds its way into fields as a way of avoiding expensive disposal charges. “I t is time to fight back,
but we need the evidence if we are to convince Govern ment of the scale of the prob lem, therefore I would appeal to everyone who has seen or experienced fly-tipping to contribute to our survey” In a bid to tip the scales, the CLA is launching a sur
vey on flytipping in the countryside. The online survey on the
CLA’s website, which can be seen on
www.cla.org.uk is open to the public and will run for the month of April. It includes questions on: 9 the most common and
unusual types of rubbish encountered 9 where the rubbish was
dumped e.g. at a beauty spot or near a waste site 9 how local authorities
have responded to reports of fly tipping incidents 9 whether respondents
have had to pay for the clean up of an area and how much it cost. The CLA says that the Gov ernment should be investi gating the scale of the prob lem and the costs to individ
uals and local authorities that have to clean up after the flytippers. “What is staggering is how often people will drive to remote locations to dump a car load of rubbish rather than taking it to their local tip,” said Mr Chalmers.
LOOKING BACK 50 years ago
A PLEA for the revival of the old spirit of Guid ing was made by the Camp Secretary at Waddow Hall. She said: “We live in an age of State welfare and spoon-feeding, of safety-first, go slow and take care, which is a direct contradiction of the principles of Guiding, namely a training for responsibility and initiative.” B Mr Richard Fort, MP for Clitheroe, travelled
to Germany. He reported that following the finan cial reforms of 1949, German industry had pro gressed rapidly and was a great threat to British trade. He said that the intelligence and drive of management and workers alike was frightening. B A scale model of a greenhouse was shown at
Ribblesdale Modem School. It was planned that the woodwork and metalwork classes would con struct a full size copy as a useful addition to the school for the study and practice of horticulture.

I ALWAYS look forward to For me it has to be the
high spot of the year. This is in part due to its being in springtime. With the lambs in the
fields and the emerging signs of life in the garden it has a great sense of expectancy. There is a promise of
something spectacular on its way when the benefits of springtime will be seen in the full splendour of the sum mertime. This is a time of great promise. Promise, which is perhaps
the key word to depict some thing of the significance of Easter. Read the Old Testa ment and in a variety of places you will find words depicting what was going to take place. The reality of the death
and resurrection of Jesus are foretold, written a minimum of 400 years before the birth of Jesus. I t is incredible th a t so
much of what happened to Jesus is laid out before us. Yet do we take note? Promise.' The church is full of people who have found
“We hope our survey will establish some hard facts and figures which will lead to firm action.” Pictured is the scene earli
er this year when a demol ished garage was flytipped, blocking a country lane on the outskirts of Clitheroe. (s)

Council walking project co ordinator Kath Mitchell has launched a new “Stepping O ut” initiative. I t aims to promote walking as an effec tive and low-risk form of physical activity, particular ly for those who are inactive.

Kath said: “Walking looks
set to play a bigger role in creating a healthier nation. Evidence increasingly shows its many benefits. You don’t have to be fit to start with. The young and old, as well as those recovering from illness, can enjoy it, and it’s free.” Stepping Out hopes to: 9 Increase awareness in
Ribble Valley of the health and social benefits of walking 9 Develop a series of guid

AN urgent appeal was made by the secretary of the local branch of the Federation of Old Age Pensioners, who was seeking help in finding a new headquarters. The Clitheroe pensioners, who for merly met at Stanley House, Lowergate, had been told to leave their Eshton Terrace meeting place. B The Ribble Valley NUT deplored a county
council proposal to close Whiteacre School, Bar- row, and use it as a boarding hostel for 120 boys and girls, educating them at day schools in the area. Teachers said it would aggravate the already overcrowded Ribblesdale School. B Members of Clitheroe and District Chamber
of Trade objected strongly to proposals for a supermarket to be built between King Lane and Wellgate. They believed that if this and other supermarket plans came about Clitheroe could become a ghost town.
The promise of Easter
that faith in the promises of Jesus has added dimensions to their lives. They have found forgiveness for their misdemeanours and failings, gained access to something of the touch of God upon them. They have received a new
identity. The Church is made up of a people not immune from the world, but part of it, seeking to show how the touch of God allows hope in the midst of the turmoil of life. How we can receive the capacity to make the most of
life not in a selfish, self-cen tred way, but by means that shares something of the potential of God. Promise. Jesus through the
resurrection promises us an invitation to the greatest party in history. The joys of the eternal kingdom. He teaches that this world is but a preparatory stage in which we have to decide whether we wish to be with God or be separate from him. The choice is ours. The
only request to allow us access to this marvellous cele bration that we seek to invite
others, encourage them to live a life following the exam ple of Jesus, involved with the community of believers. Promise. What do you
want from life? Do you want to find a better way? Are you missing a vital dimension? Then come and share the
Easter joy of the church and hopefully together we can find the way froward, the
way of Christ.

THE children’s book “The Fried Piper of Hamstring” inspired Whalley Primary ., School pupil Charlie Bolton, pictured, to write a winning review. Ten-year-old Charlie’s
review of the book, by Anholt Robins, earned him the accolade of Relay Readers scheme champion reviewer for February. The Relay Readers
scheme is run by Lan cashire County Library Service and encourages young people to read more books and review them. Charlie, of Brooks Lane,
Whalley, wrote on his review sheet: "The Mayor of Hamstring is bossy, in fact the whole town is bossy, the children can't do anything because it's nag, nag, nag, every day, every week. "All the parents will not let the children have fried

Want a new car? Hospice can help
ORGANISERS of a charity car draw are on the lookout for sales people who can help drive
ticket sales. East Lancashire Hospice is one
food because it will make them lazy and give them
spots. “So one day a secret meeting was set up by the children of Hamstring to stop the mad mayor. So they sent a poster out to find a hero, who was not afraid of adults. “When the children
went to school early in the morning, on a hilltop they saw a strange man and that was the one who was
going to help the children U n T Y i o f r i n r r ”
of three hospices which have been given a brand new Mini Cooper car by Musbury Fabrics to give away as the star prize. But organisers say they need
expert sales people to boost ticket sales.
"The appeal is a great chance to
raise much-needed funds for the hospices and, though we are pleased with the response so far, we want to make sure we make the most of this wonderful opportuni ty," said a spokesman. "Every pound from every ticket
sold goes directly to the East Lancs, Rossendale and Pendle hos pices. “The draw will take place in
August and we want to try to sell as many tickets as possible between now and then.
"We are looking for people who
are prepared to work alongside hospice volunteers, but will earn commission based on the number of tickets they sell. It might be the ideal job for a university student looking to earn some extra cash this summer." "We want whoever it is to be as
successful as possible because the more money they make, the more the three hospices will benefit.” All the proceeds from the draw
will be divided between the three hospices and spent on patient care. Tickets cost £1 each. The draw
for the Mini Cooper will take place in August 2004. Anyone who fits the bill should
