Before the business the chairman presented tro­ phies and certificates to the winners of the coun­ cil’s best kept gardens’ competition.


Heritage Sabden’s heritage could come under the spotlight if the parish council decides to take part in a consultation entitled “Undiscovered Bowland Celebrating Local Dis­ tinctiveness”. Guest Miss Rebecca Bailey from the Community Futures organisation asked if Sabden wanted to be one of 12 communities invit­ ed to take part and possi­ bly receive money for a heritage project to pro­ mote tourism etc.


The clerk responded that Sabden, with its 1,500 population, 25 different organisations,


four


churches, two schools, two pubs, bowling green and football club, had a lot to offer. Members said it also had a good indus­ tr ial heritage and was still a working, commer­ cial village, rather than a “chocolate box” village.


The campaign could lead to considerable sums being spent in the com­ munities involved and councillors were to meet again this week to discuss taking the matter for­ ward.


Playground The council was to be rep­ resented at this Wednes-


r day’s meeting of local parents to discuss the


ews from the Yillages


Coun. Bernard Parfitt was thanked for keeping the youth shelter clean. Coun. Haythornthwaite said the county council had said the white rail­ ings at Simonstone Road will be painted.


Holme play area and how to raise money to provide more equipment. Coun. John Shorter, who car­ ries out weekly checks of the area for the council, was to attend.


WHALLEY


New agenda The agenda for the parish council includes updates from the last meeting on the Parish Council web­ site, the Best Kept Vil­ lage Competition, the proposed new toilets, blocked grates, the entrance road to the Vil­ lage Hall, maintenance of the War Memorial, the position regarding trees in Vale House Gardens and vegetation on Broad Lane, a visit by Coun. J. Hill and the appointment of a new clerk.


Historic scrolls On Thursday members of Whalley and District Historical and Archaeo­ logical Society heard an interesting talk by Dr John Thorpe on the find­ ing of the Dead Sea Scrolls.


The earliest ones discov­ ered by Bedouin shep­ herd boys in a coastal cave by the Dead Sea, were of leather and pre­ served by being stored in pottery jars. Later many other caves and scrolls were found by archaeolo­ gists and others and, after much research and radio carbon dating, it was estimated that most were written between 200BCand 70 AD.


The next meeting will be in Whalley Abbey at 8 p.m. on Thursday, September 23rd, when the speaker will be Mr John Chadwick and his topic, “The Church of St •Tuda, - All Saints Whal­ ley.”


Any inquiries ring C. Ward on 01254 53866.


Whist winners Winners at the Abbey Senior Citizen’s Driver were: whist, ladies Mrs E. Chamley and Mrs M. Naylor; gents, Mrs D. Farnsworth and Mr J. Hartley; dominoes, Mrs S. Baxter, Mrs H. Hardy and Mr J. Peel. The raffle was won by Mrs S. Bax­


There will be no meeting on Saturday, with the next one due to take place on September 25th . All welcome.

WHITEWELL


Harvest praise The Church of St. Michael's at Whitewell was host on Sunday evening to a Harvest Songs of Praise in aid of the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution. The service was conduct­ ed by the Rev. Brian Stevenson and music was supplied by Slaidburn Silver Band.


Lessons were read by Mr John Sefton and Father John Chaloner. The large congregation included Mr and Mrs John Sefton, chairman of R.A.B.I., Mr and Mrs Brian Web­ ster, chairman of Lan­ cashire N.F.U. and the Mayor and Mayoress of Ribble Valley, Coun. Charles Warkman and his wife Ruth.


Following the service refreshments were served in the Social Hall by the ladies of the parochial church council. The morning service, con­ ducted by Mr Malcolm


- Blackburn, of Clitheroe, was also well attended.

A PARTY of 27 Clitheroe Ramblers, led by John Hudson, enjoyed a seven-mile circular


walk from Barley. The group set off from the Visitors’ Cen­


tre in warm sunshine, which continued throughout the walk, and followed the Pen- dle Way past Whitehough to Roughlee. Here a short diversion was made to see


Roughlee Hall, where Alice Nutter, one of the Pendle Witches, lived in the 17th centu­


ry. A steep ascent took the group up to the


ridge above Roughlee from where there were excellent panoramic views. After a coffee stop a t Noggarth Cottage,


the walkers continued towards Spen Height and then rejoined th e Pendle Way into Newchurch-in-Pendle, where lunch was taken. Here members made a short visit to the attractive parish church, which also has connections with the Pendle Witches. The final part of the walk followed the


Pendle Way through Fell Wood down to Lower Ogden Reservoir and then a track by the reservoir back to Barley.

Glizt and glamour in Measure of Success


by Julie Wintle


THE glamour and the para­ noia that was Hollywood in the 1950s is the setting for the latest production by Rihch- ester Amateur Theatrical Society, “Measure of Suc­


cess”. Written and directed by the


group’s own young tycoon, Owen Phillips, it is essentially a “Pyg­ malion” story of the rags to riches rise of a young, English-born would-be starlet in the Holly­ wood studio system of 50 years


ago. While the clever play touches


on many contemporary themes it still remains, at heart, a “boy meets girl” story. The play shows how the heads


of Hollywood studios at that time could make or break the lives and livelihoods of budding and estab­ lished actors. They, in their turn, could be broken by the witch hunt that was McCarthyism. Senator McCarthy, for whom


the future President Richard Nixon was a prosecutor, pursued real and “shadow” Communists in all walks of private and public life. His witch hunts in the arts led to many disgraceful events iririiiHing Charlie Chaplin leaving America, Paul Robeson being unemployable and many, many


other distinguished careers being ruined by the usually incorrect outing of people as being Com­


munist. Studio heads were also keen to


provide for their studio future in terms of heirs and bankable stars, thus the search for talent of all kinds was a very active, and for some, a very profitable pur­ suit. But if this all sounds a bit


heavy, do not despair, the play itself certainly isn’t! I t ’s a love story, with glam­


orous settings, handsome stars, beautiful leading ladies, humour and music; in short a recipe for a Hollywoodblockbuster.


The young RATS, with a little


help from their elders, are, by now, an experienced crew who have appeal^ hi many shows. Jo Shipman, most recently,


Denis in “Habeas Corpus”, is the main lead, supported by Craig Jackson, Ben Jones, Jamie Bain, Guy Mason, Will Thomas, Rob Hindle, Tam Dibley and playing studio boss Jack Mea­ sure himself, who else but the ubiquitous and multi-talented Owen Phillips. The beautiful ladies of the cast


are led by Hazel Thompson, Prince Charming in this year’s pantomime, “Cinderella”, Bry­ ony Frost - Cinderella herself -
