100 years ago


a t t em p t s were being made by Clitheroe textile operatives to gain an extra day’s holiday each year. Since a full week’s holiday in August had been obtained some years ago. New Years Day had been a working day and it was for the revival of the old New Year’s Day holiday that the workers were pressing. • At a cost of about £3,000, work had


now started on renovations and restora­ tions at St James’ Church, Clitheroe. In addition to the work of renovating the fabric, the church was to be re-seated and a new pulpit, reading desk and commun­ ion table were to be installed. The inner part of the roof was to be remodelled and the building re-floored. a Dr W.E. Barker, of Clitheroe, secured


second prize for his hen bred in 1905 at the Lythe, Racing Pigeon Association’s Show on the Saturday of this week, which fea­ tured 500 exhibits.

You are never too young to plan your pension


Work and Pensions. The first line of the letter read: “Have you


T


thought about how much money you will have when you retire?” I thought to myself: “Retire? I am only 25 and have 40 more years to work before I


retire.” Like myself, a pension is probably the last


thing on many young people’s minds, but it is exactly what they should be thinking


about. For the clock is ticking and with the vast


majority of youngsters busy concentrating on paying off enormous student debts, I think young people have a lot to fear from the looming pensions crisis. Time and time again people as young as


16 are reminded that they will not be eligible for a State pension.


h e other day when I arrived home from work, there was a letter waiting for me from the Department for


As I see it • • . by Faiza Afzaal According to government officials, for peo­


ple in their twenties, thirties and forties the stark warning should be enough to prompt sleepless nights for millions of Britons. I will be 65 in 2045 (if I am still alive). Will


I be eligible to receive state cash? Probably not, and I have been told any­


one relying on just the State pension around 2050 will officially be living in poverty. This is extremely frightening, not just for myself, but for millions of young Britons who are heading for an impoverished old age. However, measures can be taken from a


very early age for one to enjoy a far more prosperous retirement as opposed to one where you are struggling to make ends meet.


LOOKING BACK 50 years ago


CUSTOMERS at a Whalley Hotel heard some “Club Night” humour at first hand. They were entertained by Dave Morris, the star of stage and radio fame, whose “Club Night” programme had made him known to thousands of listeners. On the way back to Blackpool Mr Morris had called into the Whalley Arms hotel for a drink. • The vital necessity to the Bowland


Young people are always encouraged to save for the future. I t may be difficult for stu­ dents, who are busy with exams, university courses, gap years etc. However, once people are employed, they should think about joining a pension scheme


if one is available. Many are advised to work longer and save


more to secure a comfortable retirement. It is very difficult to pop a few extra pounds to one side, but anyone who does it will never


regret it. I believe retirement should be a time when


you can fulfil your long-held desires of enjoy­ ing luxurious holidays, spending more time with the family, or simply putting your feet up in front of the television without having to worry about the electricity bills! So, my advice to youngsters is don’t face a


bleak future, s ta r t looking after your finances and enjoy a carefree and comfort­ able retirement.

THERE was a slight drop in the jobless total for Clitheroe and district during November, according to the latest figures. The number out of work totalled 477, rep­ resenting 4% of the workforce, compared to 1.9% for the previous November. • Clitheroe’s Salthill Industrial Estate


rural area of the £185,000 regional water scheme, then awaiting the go-ahead from the Ministry of Housing and Local Gov­ ernment, was stressed at the monthly meeting of the Bowland Rural District Council. Members expressed fears that the scheme might be axed. • Three schools were hoping to have

members of Trutex Social Club at Grindleton raised £127 for Clitheroe Physiotherapy Centre. •Uniformed organisations of St


their own kitchens by next year. The school meals sub-committee of Lancashire Education wanted to build kitchens at the Roman Catholic school, Pendle Junior School and at St James, in Clitheroe.


Leonard’s, Langho and Brockhall Guides, celebrated the centenary of St Leonard’s Chm-ch in fine style. • Whalley Road was being advertised


as the place to go down for all your Christ­ mas shopping, with a variety of shops on hand and easy parking.


for the week Advent things to do


k "T" EXT week my children V I will start to open their ■ ^ advent calendars. However, in addition to the


" calendars our family has an advent box. Made of wood there are 24


sets of doors and behind each set of doors we put various things. Yes, there may be a chocolate or a sweet, but there will also be things to do. One day our youngest may find a promise that we will read two bedtime stories that day. The next may ask one of our teenagers to find something to do to help around the house. Another day may ask me to


take my wife a cup of tea in bed. What is the point of all this?


Well, while looking forward to all the excitement that Christ­ mas brings, it reminds us that this season is about giving as well as receiving. Someone taking the trouble


to take their wife a cup of tea in bed, or spending time with the children is much more valuable than a chocolate, and its effect lasts much longer. Apart from the calendars.


Advent is rather a lost season, but it has three messages: The first message is that it calls us to say sorry. I t is not


hard to find abuse in our world. Just last week there was the tragic shooting of the police officer in Bradford. But some­ times it is easy to think that the abuse is just “out there”. How­ ever, all of us need to say sorry for the abuse we have caused others by v/hat we say or do. Its second message is about


preparation. We all know that preparing for Christmas can be frantic, hectic and somewhat stressful. Our advent box tries to


remind us for the reasons for th a t preparation. That our actions should bring joy to oth­ ers.


Advent’s third message is


about hope. Christ first came down to earth at Christmas noticed by just a few. He has promised to return


and that return will be recog­ nised by all. His return will mean that for those that have believed and trusted in Him there will be “no more death or mourning or crying or pain” (Revelation chapter 21 verse 4). Now th a t is something to


look forward to as you open your advent calendarl
