AT the local council school, before an audience of their parents and dignitaries, high-flying pupils were awarded prizes and certificates for their completion of evening classes held the previous winter. In his speech after the prize-giving, Mr W. S. Weeks, the chairman of the Higher Education Committee, emphasised the importance of perseverance in a task. • A special musical Sunday afternoon
service to celebrate the Harvest festival was held at Wesley Chapel. • A group of German gypsies, who had
been pushed from pillar to post by the authorities, decided to camp at Knowle Green, pending their journey to Clitheroe.

LOOKINGBACK 50 years ago
THE 1956 show of the Slaidburn, New ton, Dunsop Bridge and Dalehead Agri cultural and Horticultural Society was remembered for two things - a change of site and weather. After raining almost every day for several weeks, the clouds vanished and the sun came out to make it one of the warmest days of the year • The alertness of Clitheroe signalman
Mr Fred Hellawell, averted a potential accident. He noticed that a passing goods engine was pulling only four vans. He passed word down the line and at Whalley the signals were set The driver discovered that 36 of his vans had vanished, a broken coupling causing them to come adrift.

remembrance of a'personal tragedy. But these sad shrines are everywhere these days - alarming evidence of the speed of the modem car - and the very presence of these memorials is becoming a threat. The town council at Milton
Keynes has had to take action restricting the installation of these memorials, firstly because they distract drivers and there fore risk further accidents, and secondly because the very act of creating and maintaining these shrines puts bereaved relatives at risk. How disastrous if shrine
something different if we didn’t like what was on offer! We are giving kids too much choice. One of the securities of being a child is having boundaries and knowing where they lie. If you offer a child a choice between chips and salad, of course they will pick chips every time - it’s hardly rocket science! 'Twenty years ago, we ate healthily, ran
and played until we were out of breath and weren’t allowed inside if it was cold and “spitting”. We had fewer choices to make in life generally and we liked it that way. Now, we offer children too much of everything and expect them to make the correct deci sions (and not just as far as food is con cerned) without remembering that they are KIDS and need our help and guidance to learn how to make their way in life - that’s the best education of all.

GIANT spiders has been discovered on Clitheroe’s £lm. showpiece Riverside estate. The latest was found at the Low Moor home of Mr Keven Brisco. The spi der was the second to turn up at his home and he was the third resident to find one. • Senior pupils at St Augustine’s RC
High School, Billington, were asked to help elderly residents in the village who were struggling to cope with their over grown gardens. Borough health and hous ing officer Mr Peter Gladwin said: “Pupils at the school do help local people by vari ous community projects and the staff member responsible has said she will ask for volunteers.”

building caused a further tragedy!“ROADPEACE” - a national charity - has been set up to draw attention to the 3,500 killed and the 30,000 injured annually on British roads. This organisation servic es a helpline open seven days-a- week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For post-trauma support and advice you can phone 0845 45 00 355. But these sad shrines have a
more sinister significance, for they are symptoms of the secu larisation in our society. Securlarisation means that many of us have lost any well- founded and rational belief in a greater purpose than those less er aims of health, wealth, a good job, money, sex and all the other -good and not-so-good things
that people live for these days. We have lost the liberating faith in a benevolent Creator who watches over our joys and sor rows, supporting us with an enfolding love and pointing us to a dimension of fulfilment beyond this space-time universe. Those of us who have strug
gled to learn and maintain a liv ing faith amidst the vastness, the mystery, the beauty and the horror of life on Planet Earth bring our tragedies and our memories to safe places where the last word is not death but life. You will find us remember ing our dead in meeting houses, mosques, chapels and countless churches where, in our prayers week by week, we remember and pray for our departed loved
ones, often by name on their ainniversaries - “hear us as we remember those who have died in the faith of Christ, and whose faith is known only to you...” We treasure Memorial Books
where the names of our dead are secure, and we light candles that symbolise our trust in the Light, which awaits us all on the other side of the grave. If you have lost a loved one on our merciless roads, don’t leave their memori al out in the cold, to speak only repeatedly of a terrible end - mark their life here and beyond in any one of those Holy places, where faith offers comfort and hope for the future - theirs and yours.

A
her friend and multiple property- owner Frances Kemp, seen here, was featured in an exhibition a t the National Portrait Gallery, in London. Called “The Accidental Landlord”,
the portrait was part of the Hidden Talents 06 exhibition by members of the gallery’s staff. The exhibition brought together artwork including photography, painting, drawing, film installation and sculpture. A spokesman for the gallery said:
“Some of the staff exhibiting were commercial artists working at the National Portrait Gallery to support their professions, so the standard of their work was very high.” Lynn taught Frances’s daughter,
Alexandra, at junior school and Frances helped her select her first home over 20 years ago. They have been firm friends ever since. Lynn, who now works front-of-
house at the National Portrait Gallery, said: “I had never taken pho

would have put up with my rather amateurish attempt to get a good pho tograph, but I was very pleased with the result and delighted when it was accepted for the exhibition. “It’s amazing to think that the pub

chance when she bought her first hus band out of a house he was converting when they split. Her second husband, a chartered accountant, said there was enough equity in the house to produce enough cash to put down a deposit on another one. She said: “So that’s what I did. And
I did it again and again. By following the ideas of my first husband I became an accidental landlord and by follow ing the advice of my second husband I became (on paper at least) an acciden tal multi-millionaire.”

flying out to the USA to take part in the world-famous event on November 5th, raising money for the charity “Children With Leukaemia”. Eileen (40), of Warwick
Drive, Clitheroe, and Joanne (38), of Katy Lane, met and became firm friends when they both worked as practice nurses at Clitheroe Medical Centre about six years ago. Although Joanne now works in Slaidbum, they have remained friends. They have already run three
marathons together, twice in London and once in Venice, rais ing more than £8,000 for vari ous charities.
“We’re really excited about
it,” said Eileen. “People say the atmosphere is absolutely bril liant. We’re both working mums so we’re having to train whenev er possible, but it’s going well.” The fleet-footed friends are
also busy fund-raising for Chil dren With Leukaemia, which they chose as their charity this time simply because it is “a good, worthy cause”. They are organising a charity
