“A CAMEL has fallen ill at London Zoo”. Although that message would not mean much


to anyone today, in 1941 i t was a coded signal broadcast by the BBC warning one of its depart­ ments to move to Bangor in North Wales. This was just one of a myriad of interesting


facts and figures regarding the history of radio from the 1940s to the early 1960s contained in a


ta lk given by Mr Jack Hargreaves, of Barnoldswick, to Clitheroe and District Probus Club. Mr Hargreaves brought back into memory


many of the names that were famous during the period, many of which have been almost forgotten. How many people remember the Italian tenor Frederick Ferrari, who was born in Manchester, or


the programme he starred in? Or the comforting times created during the Second World War by Max Jaffa and his Sunday Night at the Grand Hotel? Or the popularity of “Music While You Work”, which ran from 1940 to 1967 for a magnif­ icent total of 13,702 broadcasts. What about the success of the “Archie Andrews


Show”. Who can believe that we actually used to listen


to a ventriloquist on the radio? These are just some of more than 100 pro­


grammes including big band shows, comedies, dra­ mas and quizzes as well as personalities covered in


a very entertaining talk interspersed wth some of the songs from that era. One of the humorous tales included by Mr Har­ greaves had a local connection. He called unexpectedly, on a relative in Clitheroe, but had great difficulty in getting someone to answer the door. Eventually it was opened by an ashen-faced lady who had been listen­ ing to the Valentine Dyall’s programme “Man in Black” and was almost too fright­ ened to open the door. So much for the power of radio! And for those of you still wondering what


programme Frederick Ferrari starred in, it was the “Charlie Chester Show”. Clitheroe and District Probus Club meets


in the Pendle Club, Lowergate, on the first and third Fridays of each month. The next meeting will be held on July 1st when the speaker will be Simon Jelf and his subject will be the Lancashire Records Office. For information contact Alan Daniels on

drinks interval. Crossland brought Middlebrough on to bowl in tandem with Ainsworth. Two wickets fell in quick succession as Middle­ brough bowled Park­ er (35) and Larkin (9) in the space of eight


' deliveries, and with Ainsworth using his full repertoire of deliveries the runs were becoming more difficult to come by, although at 243 for three Downham were still in the driving seat.


Despite two wickets falling in the last four overs of the innings, Downham were still able to post a very impressive score of 284 for five.

With Leach.driving balls to the boundary at will and Crossland hooking and pulling anything short of a length, the runs began to flow. Both batsmen rapidly reached their 50s and while the run rate required was nine an over it was certainly attainable with both men in this mood.


The score had reached 165 when Leach (65) was caught by Booth at long on. With his partner gone. Cross­ land became even more aggressive, scor­ ing 31 runs off nine deliveries to bring up a much deserved cen­ tury.


Although Downham took two quick wick­ ets, Crossland was still at the crease and


Grindleton still had a hope of victory.


Requiring 89 off eight overs Grindleton’s skipper still looked confident, taking 19 off Fielding in one memorable over. With the score on 239, IValmsley broke Grindleton’s heart, bowling Crossland for 128.


A huge sigh came from the crowd. The skip­ per made his way slowly to the pavil­ ion, receiving a much deserved standing ovation. The visitors


saw out the overs to finish on 246 for seven. It had Ijeen a valiant effort by Grindleton.


And with over 500 runs scored on one day, it had been a splendid afternoon’s entertain­ ment for the specta­ tors.


Man-of-the-match was Crossland, Grindle­ ton’s very own Cap­ tain Marvel, whose 128 came off only 79 deliveries.
