. Tolerance can sometimes seem almost lazy, indifferent even'. However, if our understanding leads to a degree of respect then we can tolerate some things from a position of strength.


. : Tolerance is a-quality which ; was not well known in ancient times when most societies had strict guidelines for behaviour and belief and any deviance


■ from these was seen as treason or heresy. I ; Yet when Marco Polo went to : China he.found th a t under Kublai Khan there was greater , religious freedom than anywhere: in the 'West.


; ‘ ' ■ Of course there are many:,


things we do not tolerate V vio-’; lence, child ahiise, any behaviour


^ which hurts or daihages another.. : Jesus never tolerated,these, things, and the Pharisees, who


lived strictly by the letter of the law rather than by the spirit of it, never tolerated him. ■ Jesus was always understand­ ing of the weaknesses and sins of


, people,'but because he knew how these things would damage


- them, he never tolerated them. ■ What a difference we could make in our, world if we could


:■ only, work at learning about and : understanding other people’s ' beliefs, seeing the good in them;


. ■


■ as Jesus did, respecting the good- ; in them which surely comes from' ' God,'and showing them Jesus in .


- our OTO lives. ' Being tolerant of their differ­


ent beliefs while showing them by the way we live what Jesus is offering them would be so much more profitable than condemn­


ing them. , Let us ail try during the com­


ing year to really work at learn­ ing'about other'people’s beliefs, .


. understanding them (even if we do not agree) and practising a little tolerance as we pu t into


; practice the teachings of that : Man whose birth we have just celebrated.

.. 100 years ago


THE Mayor and Mayoress, Coun. and Mrs J. T. Whipp, gave a tea for the older generation of townspeople a t the Public Hall. About 650 people were present. , • “I have been in a great many work- houses, b u t I never before heard of guardians killing paupers by feeding them too well," said Miss Johnson, at a meeting of the pyide Guardians. She was alluding to an old man who had died on Christmas Day. He had been in hospital, but pleaded so hard to join the festive board that he was permitted to do so. “He had a second helping of plum pudding, but,” Miss John­ son added, “he died happy!” • One of the vocalists at the Christmas


entertainment for Chatburn Church was Mr David Jackson, who was well into his 80s. • Boys will be boys; Here is an incident


in rhyme of 1906; Small Robbie was a greedy boy! So’neath the mantelshelf. He placed an iron trap to catch old Santa Claus himself. And when next morning came, the h o y s o greedy and so bad - was very much surprised to get a licking from his dad.

THE Clitheroe district was represented among the awards given in the New Year


Honours List. The recipients included Lady 'Worsley- Taylor, of Townhead, Clitheroe, hon­ oured with a CBE for political and public services in Lancashire. , • “Build it yourself” was the motto of


members of Waddington Cricket Club, who voluntarily gave their weekends to build a new pavilion made of brick, which was to include two dressing-rooms. O F i r s t of the New Year lambs to


arrive in the Clitheroe district was one born on New Year’s Day at Mr George Clarke’s Up-Brooks Farm, Clitheroe. • Clitheroe’s “Penny a Week” scheme,


launched last January to provide funds for the town’s club for old people, fell far short of the £10 a week income men­ tioned by the Mayor, Coun. Chatburn, on th e eve of the introduction of the scheme. • Clitheroe FC slammed in five goals


against two for their first victory of the new year last Saturday against Leyland- Motors atShawbridge.

: 3 burn couple, Ian and Helen Wil- ..'son.:.. ■'


; • Havana Arts - a combined


. gallery and studio ^ is the result of ■ a 'jo in t venture, between the Wilsons and Cuban artist Amaury Perez. : Mr Wilson, managing director of


Fort Vale, and his wife, who also works a t the Nelson-based engi-


- neering company, decided to get involved when they discovered


■ Amaury’s talent. ; . “He was working in our sales department dealing with Spanish­


speaking clients after coming to the UK with his Preston-horn wife, Kim,” explains Mrs Wilson. “But when people found out he was an artist and he started to get com­ missions, we realised just how tal­ ented he was.”


25 years ago


: MORE than a century of family tradition was coming to an end after Miss Kathleen Simpson, licensee of the Lower Buck Inn, Waddin^on, was due to retire after almost 40 years. The running of the village pub, which had been in Miss Simpson’s family for the best part of 100 years, was passed


■ on to her in 1962 after her father died. - • Clitheroe’s biggest employer, Ribbles-


: dale Cement, had trimmed its budget by reducing overtime and the use of outside contractors, because of a severe recession. • A surprise call to No. 10 Downing


Street resulted in Clitheroe Division MP Mr David Waddington being offered the post of junior minister in the Department for Employment. The 51-year-old, who lived in Sabden with his wife and children, had his promotion announced by Prime Minister Mrs Margaret Thatcher. ' • Two festive parties continued into the


New Year, when 40 children .enjoyed games, a disco and a Visit by Father


, Christmas to Grindleton’s Duke of York Hotel, while Sabden Over-60s’ Club danced the night away a t the village’s


Methodist schoolroom. Understanding first

Mr Perez still had contacts in


the Cuban art world and was just as excited as the Wilsons at the prospect of bringing the colour and sunshine of his country to a UK audience through original art. ., y “Artists are very restricted in


Cuba,” he says. “We aren’t allowed to promote ourselves over there - everything has to be done through the Government and because of that most artists’ work doesn’t get the intern atio n al'cx p o su re it deserves. For example, besides Havana Arts there’s only one other Cuban art merchant in Europe - in Luxembourg.” .The a r t is t , will work a t the Havana Arts studio on his own art


■and promote it alongside th a t of other Cuban artists, both estab­ lished and up and coming. “He is equally a t home doing original art, commissions, p o r tra i ts - even copies of old masters,” says Helen. . Pictured is Mrs Wilson with Mr Perez, (s)


Keep a watchful eye on your pet even on holiday


ET owners in the Ribble 1—^ Valley could soon be able.


JL to check up on th e i r beloved furry friends while they are on holiday ■via the Internet. Budding entrepreneur Caro­


line Smith, of Cow Ark, is a step closer to fulfilling her long-. held ambition by launching a business where animal lovers can watch the movements of their pets a t the touch of a but­ ton.


,;■ ■ . The former pupil of Clitheroe


Royal Grammar School is look­ ing into installing web-cams in hoarding kennels so pets can be watched 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And the 28-year-old is asking Ribble Valley folk for their sup­


port., Caroline, who has previously


worked in kennels and has been around dogs all her life, decided to follow her dream by applying for E n te rp r ise Is lan d - a scheme run in conjunction with , Bradford Council.. The project enables individu­


als to receive valuable support from business mentors who show them how to develop the right attitude’ and skills needed to he successful in business..


• For the past 12 weeks, con­ testants have been undertaking a series of challenges in Brad­ ford and Keighley, before deliv­ ering a final presentation to a panel of judges. Caroline beat stiff competi­ tion from 120 entrants to be


• among the 14 finalists. She is now p repar ing for her final


presentation some time in the New Year. ■


- Commenting on the venture and her success so far, she said; ‘T am delighted to be in the finals. “ I have always worked a t


least part-time in kennels. I have been around dogs all my life - successfully bred a litter of six chocolate labradors from my pet dog ‘Tiffin’ this year, advertising with my own web­ page. ‘‘I have two degrees, but can­


not realistically become an edu­ cational psychologist as I have epilepsy and driving is an essen­ tial part to gaining even a first placement. “Therefore, I decided to


apply for Enterprise Island and have got through to the final stages. A lot of people go away on holiday, but cannot relax because they are worried their, pets are not being looked after ■properly.


“'With th e in s ta l la t io n of .


web-cams, owners can see their pets at any time via the. Inter­ net-mobile phone. This will; ensure peace of mind rather than merely, whispering sweet nothings over the phone! . “A dog psychology service


will also he available, however, I need £50,000 from investors to launch the business!” . . , ■ Under the plans, the business


itself will cost approximately £150,000, bought as an already, licensed boarding kennels, thus established client base to begin : with. I t will have three stan-
