FOOTBALL crazy Marisa Galea had her dream come true when she won the chance to walk on the hallowed pitch where her heroes
play. Lucky Marisa (11), was the winner of a radio sta
tion’s competition to find a mascot for the Holland v England under- 20s big match at Turf Moor.
As a season ticket holder for the Clarets, Marisa,
who was the Dutch mascot, could not believe her luck. And she was so excited she could not sleep a wink the night before the game. Her dad, Marcel, of Brookside, Sabden, who was there with Marisa, said: “Marisa loves football and
she is a big fan of the Clarets. “On the day of the match she was taken to meet
all the players before she was presented with a spe
cially made Holland kit they had all signed. “And she was thrilled when she got the opportuni
ty to walk out on the turf before the kick-off. ^ Also joining Marisa, a pupil at St Augustine s KC
High School, BUlington, for the VIP day was her best pal, Samantha Harper, mother, Kay, and brothers
Marco (16), and 14-year-old Nicholas. Hundreds of reductions in all departments Autumn Specials many with delivery in time for Christmas! J U - i C m F An Enigma is at

engineer in Bolton and, as a “radio ham”, had his own transmitting station. Even before the war, he was recruited by the Radio Security Serxdces and when his call-up papers eventu ally arrived he joined the Royal Signals Corps and was drafted to the new national security centre based at Bletchley Park. I t was chosen because of its important road and rail links and its discreet accessibility for boffins from Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Mr Openshaw told the meeting how the
Enigma coding machine had been acquired from the Germans by Polish spies and brought quite openly to England by some co opted members of a troupe of entertainers, who crossed the Channel regularly and passed off the machine as one of the props from their new production. From Victoria Station it travelled on some
one’s knee on a London bus to Euston and thence to Bletchley Park. The Enigma machine, whose settings were changed regu larly to contuse the enemy, was used to decode German messages, enabling Sir Hugh Dowding and his deputy to be given details of the Luftwaffe’s orders within days or even hours of them being issued.

But because the Luftwaffe’s plans were known in advance, the RAF was able to be strategically placed to ensure that, in the words of Churchill, “never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few”.

STREET lighting, highway maintenance and road safety will all suffer if Lancashire County Council assumes direct responsibility for them. T h a t was th e s ta rk warning
issued by Ribble Valley Borough Council leader John Hill, who accused the county authority of “empire building” at the expense
of local democracy. Coun. Hill believes proposed
changes in th e way highways work is c a r r ied out across the county will undermine service delivery and local accountability. Highways work, street lighting,
tra f f ic management and road safety have been outsourced to borough and district councils for 31 years in the longest-running and most successful local govern

ough Council’s Community Com mittee are angry they were given less than three weeks to consider the proposal. Coun. Hill said: “Scrapping the
partnership will have serious con sequences for local services and, while it might result in efficiency savings for the county council, there will be no overall savings or service improvement for Ribble Valley tax payers. “The ability of Ribble Valley
Borough Council to co-ordinate street scene services for the bene fit of council taxpayers will be

dents want their highway con cerns dealt with face-to-face, not via a recorded message, e-mail or office outside the borough. This is a cynical move by Lan
cashire County Council to pitch itself as a massive unitary author ity at the expense of local democ racy and we can see right through
it.” Ribble Valley councillors have
written to Lancashire County Council expressing their dismay a t the proposed scrapping of the partnership and asking tha t it be maintained and expanded to give d is tric t councils greater in p u t into co-ordinated s tre e t scene services for the benefit of their residents.

as a “poll tax” on the poor and said pensioners and single par ent families will all be hit the
hardest. Speaking after a recent Cul

increases at will. “The BBC says it is for the
new services demanded by the public, yet some new channels are rarely watched by the licence payer such as BBC 3 and BBC 4. “People simply will not be able to afford this and it will be
a poll tax on their TVs. “The BBC must rethink its
demands and live within its means like everyone else.”
