THOUGHT for the week
T is reported that many people have been turning (or even
forgiveness, in turn it is also necessary to base human interaction on love and for giveness. We cannot expect God’s
forgiveness unless we also forgive those who do wrong to us. Forgiving each other, even
forgiving one’s enemies is one of th e most im p o r tan t Islamic teachings. In th e Qur'an, God has
described the Believers as “those who avoid major sins and acts of indecencies and when they are angry they forgive.” (al-Shura 42:37) L a te r in the same verse
God says: “The reward of th e evil is the evil thereof, but whosoever forgives and- makes amends, his reward is upon God." (al-Shura 42:40) The Prophet - peace be
upon him - was the most for giving person. He was ever ready to for
give those who opposed him or treated him harshly. When he went to the city
of Ta'if
to.preach God’s mes sage to its people, they mis tre a te d him and hit him with stones. He left the city humiliated
and wounded. Recognising that God was
displeased with the people of Ta’if, the Prophet prayed th a t they would be saved because what they did was out of their ignorance. He said: “O Allah, guide
these people, because they did not know what they were doing.”
There are many verses in
the Qur'an and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad on God’s love, mercy and for giveness. In one of the prayers that
the Prophet taught, he said: “O God, You are the most Forgiving One, You love to forgive, so forgive me”.
We call upon God's mercy
and forgiveness all the time for our shortcomings, for He is the most merciful and the
most forgiving. Having done so however,
we should pause and reflect upon how deserving we are of God answering our call based on our own level of willingness to forgive fellow human beings for their shortcomings.

A PLEA for more information abo u t th is old photograph, printed in our April 22nd edi tion, proved fruitful. I t was loaned to us by Mrs
Jean Pilkington (nee Parker), of Coverdale Farm, Gisburn, and shows a family scene outside the Assheton Arms, at Down-
ham. Mrs Parker knew it featured
members of the Banks family, licensees a t the historic pub, and her own family, the Park ers, and believed there could be
members of the Smalley family
shown too. Quick to respond to our plea
was Mr Brian Banks, of Waddington, closely followed by his brother, Mr Joseph Banks, of Clitheroe. Their g randfather, also
Joseph, was landlord a t the Assheton Arms and is pictured seated a t the right of the photo graph with his wife, Margaret. He was landlord a t the
Downham hostelry for more than 40 years and his name is
carved in stone above the door. The picture was taken in
1919 for the wedding of the landlord’s daughter, Nellie, to Mr Ted (known as Teddy) Parker, the happy couple pic tured centre. Just behind them is Nellie’s
brother, yet another Joseph Banks, Joseph clearly being a family name. He was the father of the two
brothers who supplied our information. Their Uncle Harry is pictured just behind
the landlord, while Auntie May is a t the far right of the photo graph. Standing a t th e far left is
Harry Smalley, with his wife, Annie, another member of the impressive Banks clan. How could this group have
ever imagined th a t the village pub would one day be familiar to millions of people who have never set foot in Downham, as one of the key locations in the BBC’s Sunday night drama “Born and Bred”!

POOR Law Unions had no more vexed problem to solve th an th a t of dealing with vagrants. Although seeking Government reforms regarding relief, one well-known Guardian said: “The Unions must turn their attentions to the children of tramps. We shall never reform the tramp, but at any rate we must prevent his family from follow ing in his footsteps.” H The first trip of the season for St Mary’s
Rambling Society took the 40 members, 15 of them women, on foot through Downham and Twiston, to Skeleron mine. They were given a guided tour of the workings and an explanation of how lead and silver were extracted from the ore. B Four young offenders - mere striplings of 10
to 12 years old - played havoc with the roofing of Brewery Mill. That they did not do it for pure mischief was shown by the fact that the lead was hauled off to the marine stores, where it was sold. Clitheroe magistrates decided to try several strokes of the birch on them, as a remedy.
communication with family and friends - a lifeline in case of an emergency. When it rang, for the most part it was exciting! How times have changed. Over the course of a recent
weekend, I answered three calls - all recorded messages starting with: "Congratula tions" - or "We are pleased to inform you ......," one caller trying to locate the local taxi service and two more from various financial institutions. I was out and about for a
large part of the two days, so how many more I missed, I do

most of the callers constantly refer to me as "Mrs Meat"! My weekends are exactly that - my weekends. I take great exception to my privacy being invaded by salesmen and women. If I want a loan, I will make
my own arrangements. If I want new windows, a kitchen, a holiday, mail order cata logues, wine direct, even a new telephone service - 1 will do
the same. Other than leave the answering machine on to mon itor every call, there seems to be little we can do. Then, of course, there are
the other calls; the sinister ones. When you pick up the receiver, there is no one there. When you dial 1471, the
caller has, of course, withheld his or her number. This constant barrage is not

office, much of it on the tele phone or beseiged by e-mails, many of which - you guessed, it - are "spam" - I resent receiving sales calls when I return home. As a trainee reporter aged
17, my family did not have the luxury of a telephone. I made my work calls from the nearest telephone box. Over the course of three years I became a familiar sight with my note book in the public call box by the town's memorial gardens. Telephone boxes, even then,
were not the best of tempo rary offices. I shared mine with the aftermath of drunks
LOOKING BACK 50 years ago
THE Mayor started the Clitheroe Cycle Rally from Ribblesdale Modern School. First of the 75 participants away, all local schoolchildren, was Marie Slinger, a pupil a t Pendle Junior School. Each competitor was examined thoroughly in aspects of road safety and their cycles checked. B As part of the build-up to CRGS’s 400th
anniversary, an important moment in the school’s long history was recalled in a pictorial flashback to 1912. It showed Lord Derby, accompanied by the Mayor of Clitheroe, laying the foundation stone of the present York Street school building. The current Lord Derby, his grandson, was to open the new school library that July. fl In. the parkland beside the River Ribble at
Gisbum, preparations were in hand for the British Horse Society’s One-day Event. .What Bad minton in Gloucestershire had done to make the post-war renaissance of British horsemanship pos sible, had been parallelled by similar work in the north a t Gisbume Park.
and vandals. It was a golden rule that no reporter rang any one or called on anyone after 9 p.m. I t had to be an extreme emergency and they were few and far between. Most of my calls were made
in person - or on foot. I did not have a car either. The bus was a good source of news gather ing and during my training, I certainly never had a problem with weight. On the advice of a colleague,
I registered with British Tele com's Telephone Preference Service on Friday. The service takes 28 days after which I should no longer receive direct marketing phone calls. If you are experiencing a similar problem, dial 0845 07 007 07. I t was quite painless. Let's hope it works!
Adventure of a lifetime beckons for Jack (19)
A WHALLE Y teenager is about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Jack Hardman (19), is taking part in a
community and environmental expedition to Fiji with leading youth development charity Raleigh International. While in Fiji, working to benefit local
communities and the environment, he will also have the chance to develop team-work ing and communication skills, plus greater global and social awareness. Jack (pictured) will spend eight weeks
working alongside local volunteers and other young people from around the world. Raleigh International aims to help disad
vantaged people from our own community and abroad, and the vital long-term devel opment of poorer nations. Jack must raise a total of £2,600 towards
this charity before he is eligible to accompa ny Raleigh to Fiji. As part of his fund-raising, Jack, who
works a t a law firm in Manchester, will stage a charity ball on May 21st at the De Tabley, Ribchester. A t tra c tio n s will include “One Way

ARMY bomb disposal experts were called in when a group of schoolchildren found a six-pound anti tank shell in Chatbum Brook. PC Norman Cox'took it back to the police sta
tion where it was examined by the experts. He said: “Fortunately the shell turned out to be a dud.” B The imposition of a strict five-hour day by
members of the National Union of Schoolmasters and Union of Woman Teachers in support of a pay claim hit schools in the Clitheroe area. At St Augustine’s the lunch break was extended by 30 minutes and a t Ribblesdale County Secondary School pupils living locally were dismissed a half- hour early in the afternoons.
