HOW did your Clitheroe Advertiser come home with you today? Did it sit aloof in a brand-new plastic bag, or travel smugly in a fabric carrier bag? If you are a member of one of the Ribble 'Val
ley’s WIs, then you probably already know the facts about plastic carrier bags, and maybe even refused a bag at the till. Next Tuesday, June 20th, Women’s Insti
tutes all over the country will be taking part in a day of action, hoping to draw attention to the problems that our excessive use of packaging is causing. In all, 17.5 billion carrier bags are given away
each year by supermarkets, with most only being used once - for carrying goods between shops and home and 100,000 tonnes of plastic bags are thrown away each year. The WI is not only known for jam and
Jerusalem, but also for its campaigning. Some may regard it as an old-fashioned insti tution, but the WI is often at the forefront of
PLASTIC bags, plastic bags,
we find them everywhere: Bobbing round like broken
kites high into the air; Blown into our hedgerows,
impaled upon our trees; Drifting round deserted towns
lobbying. This year’s new targets will'be to lobby for renewable energy sources, and to pro mote sport for a healthy Mestyle. Reducing packaging is part of the WI’s cur
rent campaign to encourage supermarkets to change their environmental policies, particular ly in the area of excess packaging, plastic bag usage and the composting of their food waste. You may like your fruit and veg all pre-pack
aged (one of the leading supermarkets recently ran an offer encouraging us to buy more of this), but did you know that £470 of the aver age household food budget goes on packaging alone? A “Buy four get one free” offer doesn’t sound
so good then, does it? You may not be brave enough to stand at the
checkout next Tuesday and hand back all unnecessary packaging, but by bringing your own bags for your shopping you could help the WI to draw attention to reducing the environ mental damage caused by supermarket waste. Secretary of Hurst Green WI Mrs Gill McDonnell has written a poem printed below, highlighting the problem.

Yivien.meath@
eastlancsnews.co.uk |---- Abide by the laws of the
land or else pay the price I WAS both angered and saddened to read Katie Hargreaves' article "Justice is Selective” in this week’s Clitheroe Advertiser, when it seems that every week the paper has to report an account of yet another horrifying fatal road accident. Every day I encounter impatient and incon
siderate motorists, and as a GP I regularly see the results of bad driving and excessive speed. If your correspondent has lost her licence it is
because she has committed repeated offences (despite accumulating penalty points) while driv ing what is potentially a lethal weapon, yet she seems to have little or no insight into the situa tion, describing herself as ”a careful and consid
erate driver". The numerous laws governing motoring
offences do not exist just to irritate "law-abiding citizens” , but are designed to make life safer for
all road-users. Of course Katie Hargreaves is upset by losing
her licence — any driver would be — but what she appears to want is precisely what she is arguing against - Selective Justice. We all have to observe the laws and should be prepared to drive more safely or face the conse
quences. I hope she reflects on this when her licence is
re-instated.

These levels of noise
and dust are intolerable AS a resident of York Street, Clitheroe, I make contact to formally complain about the intolera ble levels of noise and dust pollution arising from site development works at the rear of the Grand pine^ma during the course of this week. ;
currently in place today, I cannot understand how a site developer and building contractor is allowed by planners to impose such intolerable high levels of noise and dust pollution on resi dents in such a densely built-up part of Clitheroe. The use of major construction site jack ham-

Is there anyone who
could offer information ON a recent visit to Clitheroe I noticed an old steel bridge over the Clitheroe to Chatbum road. I am interested in industrial architecture, so
investigated further. I t looks like either a conveyor or miniature
railway used to use the bridge, which links the Bellman Park Quarry with a huge old stone lime kiln (next to the railway and well hidden in the
trees). I wonder whether any of your readers have
any information and pictures of this railway or conveyor system when it was in use. A further point of interest is that the Bellman
Park quarry was used in the film "Whistle Down the Wind”, and I believe a disused railway used in the film may have been part of this link from the quarry to the lime kiln.

RICHARD SMITH, Ribble Valley Radio, c/o St Mary's Centre, Church Brow, Clitheroe, BBT 2DD
Cry God for Harry,
England and St George IN response to Ken Lockett, of Read, who claimed that there are more fitting heroes to stake a claim to being a patron saint of this fair country than St George. May I give you and any others a short lesson
on his history. George it seems was a noble Roman soldier
who stood up for the rights of the Christians who were being persecuted by the Emperor Dioclet ian. For his stance, George was beheaded in the year AD 303. He was venerated by the followers of Christ for
his bravery in defence of the poor and defenceless
ofi.the.Christian-faith and.was recognised as a
saint around the year AD 900. A church in Eng land was
dedicated.to him around AD 1061. Richard I of England in AD II9I while on the
Crusades put his army under the protection of the now St George and by the year 1222 George had become the patron saint of England. The banner of St George of the red cross of a martyr on a white background was adopted by the sol diers of Richard I and was later to become the flag of England. George is not only the patron saint of England,
but is also the one for the following: Aragon, Cat alonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, Germany, Greece and quite a number of cities in Europe. He is also patron saint of soldiers, cavalry,
farmers, butchers. Scouts and archers and a few more. I hope Mr Lockett and others will take heart from the above and fly the flag. "When you do, I hope you will recite the following lines from Shakespeare’s Henry V act one, scene 1:1:31: I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
straining upon the start. The game is afoot: Follow your spirit: and,
upon this charge Cry God for Harry,. England and St George.
