100 years ago
CLITHEROE Town Council had decided that the freedom of the borough would be conferred on Mr William Garnett, of Low Moor. Mr Garnett had been a councillor, alderman and later mayor of the town, to which he had presented the Mayor’s chain. Latterly, he had given £50 for the formation of a reference library. • The work of making the new road at
Primrose Mill had now begun. When com pleted it was due to be 24ft wide and the greatest depth of excavation would be 20 ft. The girder bridge to be constructed over the weir would be supported by a retaining wall seven feet thick. • “The Fifth,” the annual festival so
dear to the hearts of the youngsters, passed as successful as was consistent with murky November weather and happily no incident of serious moment occurred. • The annual Mayoral banquet to cele
brate the re-election of Conn. J.T. Whipp as Mayor of the Borough of Clitheroe was held at the Starkie’s Arms Hotel. • Ladies’ jackets for the coming season
were available from J.T. Tomlinson’s in Moor Lane. The fashion trader advertised its jackets as “good value, good style, low prices”

Valley Matters Obsessed with image
a weekly look at local issues, people and places
ave you noticed how obsessed we have become with outward appear ance in the last few years?
Never mind what people do or say, so
long as the image is right. I t ’s very sad and terribly shallow, but it
seems to be the case that so long as you wear the right labels and are built like a stick insect, nothing else seems to matter. I am inspired to make these observations
following the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall’s recent visit to the US. Early indications are that it seems to
have been quite a successful trip. However, one New York paper could not resist a dig at Camilla, describing her as “frumpy”. And this from a country which has
spawned the hideous trio of Jackie Stal lone, Jocelyn Wildenstein and Michael Jackson. Glass houses and bricks spring to mind. If these are examples of how one is
expected to look, give me frumpy any day. Camilla has looked elegant and dignified a t all times. Okay, so she might not be a

fashion icon, but let’s be honest, would you want to see a woman in her mid-50s totter ing about on eight-inch Vivienne West- woodstyle platforms, feuk tops and micro
minis? Somehow, I don’t think so. But to return to my original point: it’s who you Me and what you do that counts
at the end of the day. I t is a pointless exercise wasting vast
amounts of cash on style gurus - Mrs Blah- take note - if you haven’t the substanc e to back it up. I t’s what is inside that counts, not the outer wrapping. Mother Teresa was a case in point. Long blue and white threadbare sari and veil was
LOOKING BACK 50 years ago
A REMEMBRANCE Day Service was held last Sunday at SS Michael and John’s Church. Conducted by Fr D.J.A. Mills, the priest said th a t National Service should not be an ordeal but a chance for today’s youth to repay some of the service so gallantly and completely given by our war heroes. The Mayor and Mayoress, Coun. and Mrs C. Chatburn, also attend ed the Civic Mass, along with members of the council and senior officials. • New methods of production planning,
including hourly reports on each shift, had enabled the Clitheroe ICI factory to achieve a record output. The new methods were introduced six months ago and as a result urgent demands for catalysts had been met. • A prominent resident of Whalley put
his view to the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times regarding the need for a public clock. Wishing to remain anonymous, he suggested that the provision of a clock was the next job to be tackled. Hundreds of visitors, who flocked into the village throughout the summer, had to rely on the church clock, which was not visible from the main street, or on the bus station clock.
all we ever saw her wearing, yet she proba bly did more in a week than your average fashion icon could hope to do in a lifetime. And look at Ann Widdecombe. Whatever
your politics, you cannot dispute that she is a first-class constituency MP. She is also very able, clever and a woman
of principle. But because she does not con form to some foolhardy “norm” she is cru elly dubbed “Doris Karloff”. Pathetic real
ly- I live in fear of the day when we become
as dreadfully shallow as our American cousins, but I feel it is only a matter of time. And sadly, my own profession is one of
the greatest culprits. But despite that, please let us stop both
ering about how people look and concen trate more on what they do and what is in their hearts. After all, as my mum is wont to say:
“Fine feathers make fine birds”. We did not come into this world in our
best attire which just goes to prove how truly unimportant what we wear really is!

Darren rises to tough outdoor challenge
A CHALLENGING five-day course in the Lake District has been successfully completed by Darren Martin, a Year 10 pupil a t Clitheroe’s Ribblesdale High School Technology College. Darren was selected to attend by
the R o ta ry Club of Clitheroe. Despite some difficult weather con ditions, he threw himself whole heartedly into the tasks set for him by the YMCA Team Leaders to complete the tough challenge. The YMCA Centre, on the west
bank of Windermere, is the ideal setting for this type of venture. Darren was one of a team who took on two other teams to complete the various tasks set for them. Among the activities undertaken
were vertical wall climbing, abseil ing, kayaking, archery, moun taineering and a “Personal Chal lenge Course”. Darren enjoyed the experience immensely and made many new
friends with whom he intends to keep in touch. This course, the R o ta ry Youth Programme of Enrichment, is sponsored each year by the Rotary Club of Clitheroe and is open to students in Years 10 and 11. Only one candidate is selected each year. The Rotary Club of Clitheroe
and the Rotary Club of Ribblesdale each sponsor students for a different Youth Leadership course, which takes place in the spring. This is for sixth form pupils and is
intended to stretch their leadership abilities. Interviews for these places will be taking place in January of next year. Anyone interested can contact
Peter Spencer 01200 441503 or Derek Wightman 01200 424517. Our picture shows Darren Mar
tin, who successfully completed the tough five-day Lake District chal lenge. (s)
Hard work and devotion is rewarded 25 years ago
LANCASHIRE Education Authority agreed to consult Ribble Valley Council before making further decisions to close any more village schools. This was the outcome of a two-hour meeting between Ribble Valley and county councillors to discuss the issue. The meeting, called by Ribble Valley, came too la te to save Pendleton, Mearley and Bashall Eaves School due to close next summer, but could have some effect on the decision towards Bolton-by-Bowland, Gisburn, Grindleton, Slaidsbum and Tosside. • One Clitheroe firm brushed aside the
gloom of th e economic recession by expanding. Managing director of Stalwart Dyeing, Mr Trevor Balmforth, invested thousands of pounds in a carpet-booking unit to expand his firm’s production. This enabled the company to replace half the jobs lost fom- months ago when 15 work ers were made redundants. • Bonfire night passed off safely in the
Ribbie Valley with no reports of firework mishaps. The big fire at the Castle Field, staged for a second year by the Rotary Clubs of Clitheroe and Ribblesdale and the Ribble Valley Rotaract Club, again proved a success.
for the week We will remember
t is at this time of the year, th a t the real and actual moment in history when
on the cross. His amazing vic tory is th a t the Love of God plummets to share the very depths of human despair and degradation. He suffered our suffering: He
died our deaths: belief in this makes His victory a victory for the vanquished that we remem ber this week. Secondly, the fruit of His vic
tory is kindled in the lives of anyone and everyone who dares to believe that the Kingdom of God is eternal and that inno cent hmnan sacrifice is not ulti
mately a waste of life. Thirdly, the fruit of His victory is kin dled in the lives of anyone and everyone who dares to believe that the Kingdom of God can come in and through the most impossible and unlikely situa tions. I t was always thus! Who
would have thought tha t a young girl with such a common name as Mary would carry and bear and nurture God incar nate? Her faithfulness and obedi ence saw to that!
m Who would have thought
th a t Galilean fishermen and others would have been in the front line of the army of Jesus? Who would have thought
th a t the modern battle s of today would depend upon the likes of you and me? We owe it to those who we
remember th is week, to be found faithful to the very high est of ideals and role models.
