FOLLOWING the example set by other cotton towns, Clitheroe Weavers’ Associ ation decided to give its support to a pro posal in favour of extending the number of holidays to 12 days a year. They also hoped to have New Year’s Day restored as a holiday. This day had been relinquished in return for a week’s holiday in August. • The Mayor of Clitheroe, Coun. J. T.
Whipp, accepted the position for another year after the unanimous invitation by Clitheroe Town Council. • There was a large influx of visitors to
Clitheroe for the annual October fair. Trade was slow, and the day was not with out its lighter moments, especially when a cow stuck its horns through the plate glass window of a shop in King StreeL • Residents in Grindleton were without
water for 24 hours over the weekend due to a defective hydrant. A villager had to cycle to Gisburn to inform the surveyor of the failure of the supply.

south-east Asia swept thousands to their death and destroyed numerous villages and
holiday resorts. Last month. Hurricane Katrina ripped
apart thousands of lives and has left many Americans without a roof over their heads. The most recent is the devastating earth
quake in Southern Asia, which has killed nearly 30,000 people - mostly innocent
children. In Pakistan, Afghanistan and northern
India today there are orphans, thousands of injured people and millions of homeless survivors whose future depends on the gen erosity of people around the world. Rescue teams, medical experts and scores
of heroic volunteers have raced to the dis aster-zone to give practical help. Meanwhile, money has been pouring in

world have been rallying to provide food, blankets, shelter and other life-saving equipment to save the survivors dying from
cold and hunger. Tragedies like these have made me realise
how fortunate I am. Human beings have a curious capacity to take things for granted and, a t times, I know th a t I can be ungrateful and have the occasional moan and groan about meaningless things in life. These disasters have been a lesson to me. They have touched me immensely. They
LOOKING BACK 50 years ago
COUNCIL house tenants in Clitheroe were given the opportunity to buy the house they were renting in a bid to reduce post-war debt. The decision, which was carried by nine votes to five during a town-council meeting, was agreed follow ing a recommendation by the housing committee. Each pre-war house sold would make a profit of £500. •
Clitheroe people were still being urged
to voluntarily exercise economy in their use of water. At a town council meeting, Coun. F. Dugdale, chairman of the Water works Committee, gave the warning after rainfall was still astonishingly low. • Lancashire Education Committee
had agreed in principle to buy Whiteacre Camp School, a t Barrow. The decision was subject to obtaining Ministry approval to carry out any necessary alter ations and improvements for the camp, previously administered centrally by the National Camps Corporation.

1 Valley Matters Peter takes title
VALLEY artist Peter Taylor has proved he has more strings to his bow this year after securing a
grand slam of archery titles. Peter, who runs his own gallery in Clitheroe has
been on target to win a trio of national competi tions.
In April hG bGcamG Scottish National OpGn .
Archery Champion, and since then Peter has gone on to win the 3D National Championship and in September took the National Champi onship title, the final trophy in this year’s pro
gramme. As a result of his success there is now a new
piece of sculpture on show at the Old Bakehouse Gallery in Eshton Terrace - but this one is not up
for sale. The unusual artwork is affectionately nick , - ,
named “Spike” and was made by a former archer called Roy Scrimshaw who donated it as a trophy. Speaking about his archery success Peter said:
“I am so pleased to have won all three titles in one year. The pressure was really on for this final competition; now I can concentrate on my paint ing with several art shows and exhibitions com ing up before Christmas.” (B1121005/2)

A CLITHEROE doctor’s glimpse into the not-so-distant medical future earned him an unforgettable trip to America along with his wife. Dr Michael McDonald Smith, who worked a t Clitheroe Health Centre, won a competition which reward ed him with a trip to the ninth World Medical Conference in New Orleans. Dr Smith was chosen as ■winner after he wrote an essay on how CPs would be treating heart disease in 1990. • An electric fault in a machine caused
a blaze which gutted Waterloo Timber’s premises, causing £50,000 worth of dam age. The fire left o'wner, 22-year-old Chris Smith’s business in ruins. • Police were cracking down on young
cyclists after the number of road accidents involving them had risen dramatically in the area. In a bid to prevent further colli sions, youngsters riding bikes with defects or without lights were warned by police that they would be prosecuted.
Thank God for taxes
themselves. Today’s taxmen and women can be assumed to he impeccably honest and therefore not deserving of such slogans as “Don’t let the tax man have it” - as though they were creaming off a percentage for themselves. Taxation is, essentially, a thor
oughly good system for the ob-vi- ous reason that it provides funds for our hospitals, schools, fire service and the rest. Well, we know all that, and yet we still find it strange to say “Thank God for the taxman”. Praying the Lord’s Prayer
means asking for God’s will to be done on earth, and that includes enabling everyone to share in the word’s bounty. How is this to happen except, partly, through
taxes? Like most of us, I am keen to take advantage of allowances to reduce my tax liability, but, I hope like most of us, I want to be honest about my affairs. I can, therefore, say in all sin
cerity “What a good thing income tax is”, and I don’t want to see it reduced because our country’s generally excellent services need our contributions. And, of course, there is the huge ly beneficial gift aid scheme, which would suffer if income tax were ever reduced. By human nature we want to
pick and choose: to have the bits we find agreeable and be less than happy about the rest. But God never said that the stream would always flow our way. We
are called to work with him, not just receive comfort and peace from him. He put us on the earth to care for it, making it a gooc and ju s t place for everyone. Combined with our work anc our prayers, taxes play no smal part in enabling our society tc reflect the goodness and compas sion of God. Through these means the sick are cared for, the prisoners given dignity, the young enabled to develop theii personalities and all people giver security and a blanket of sup port.

paid tribute to the commitment of the young ‘graduates’. “I am delighted to recognise the achievements of the young people on our automotive pro
gramme,” he said. “I left school at 16 with very little in
th e way of qualifications, h u t the apprenticeship I had, first a t Seddon
Atkinson and then a t Ribhle Motors, gave me an excellent start in life. “These young people are the future of the industry and I am sure they will
continue to develop. I have one simple message: don’t stop
setting yourselves goals and just go for it.’’
Victoria proves she’s definitely top Seed
A CHIPPING youngster proved she was “top Seed” in a competition with a tennis theme. Victoria Seed (10), a pupil at Brabin’s Endowed Pri
mary School, has won a CD/MP3 Music Player in a prize draw organised by Rihble Valley Borough Council. Hundreds of youngsters entered the competition, fea
tured in the council’s Kids Get Active 2005 summer sports directory.
The publication outlined a host of council sports .
activities on offer to youngsters throughout the summer. Participants in the prize draw had to name a sporting
event associated with strawberries and cream. Hundreds took part and Victoria’s correct answer,
Wimbledon, was the first out of the hat. Our picture shows Victoria receiving her prize from . , .
