eir.uTinn re i' CE a weekly look at local issues/people and places H However, adults don’t always play by the


rules when it come to honesty. ’ I have a little story about honesty and


how our preconceived ideas do not always come true. Last week, while visiting a prestigous


golf club to take part in a competition, I inadvertently left behind my golf shoes. This was done in the euphoria of coming


second in the competition and winning a magnificent prize presented a t the dinner after the game. Of course, I have contacted the club and


hotel, but the shoes have not been handed in.


On the other side of the coin, last


Wednesday me and my husband and two friends went to Ripon races.

so we decided to have a picnic instead of dining in the restaurant, which we usually do.


After our picnic we went on to the race­


course and sat on a form to fill in our place pot cards. This done, we left our seats and moved to the rails to await the impending first race. I t was just a few moments later I discovered I had left my binoculars on the arm of the wooden form. I raced back just a few yards across the grass only to discov­ er they had disappeared. I asked a few people sitting close by if they had seen them, but no one had..


100 years ago


THE next few years would see great developments in the Whalley district. It was announced that the Home Secretary had sanctioned the proposal to purchase a site for the erection of a county lunatic asylum, which when erected would accommodate 2,000 patients. The site cost the county £30,000. ®His Worship the Mayor, Coun.


Wm. Bolton Dewhurst, on his 83rd birthday. Formerly of Clitheroe, Mr Dewhurst was chairman of the Clitheroe Board of Guardians, held a seat on the town council and claimed to be the old­ est member of the local bench of magis­ trates.


J.T.Whipp, was one of a deputation con­ sisting of officials and members of the British Cotton Growing Association, Mayors of Lancashire, Cheshire and Yorkshire towns and representatives of numerous chambers of commerce, textile trade unions and other organisations waiting on the Prime Minister, in sup­ port of the movement initiated by the Cotton Growing Association for extend­ ing the area of Empire-grown cotton and improving our sources of supply. • Congratulations were offered to Mr


LOOKING BACK 50 years ago


EIGHTY-FIVE children took part in a cycle rally organised by the Clitheroe Bor­ ough and Rural District Road Safety Committee in conjunction with the Acci­ dent Prevention branch of Lancashire County Constabulary. O A dinner was held at the Starkie


Arms Hotel to celebrate the record pro­ duction year of ICI. The manufacturers, who were hoping to capture a large part of the world’s catalyst markets with the products of its Clitheroe factory, were soon to extend and last year achieved a record production. ® Forty-nine Clitheroe children and


their parents, left the Eshton Terrace clin­ ic happily sucking sweets. They had been given them by a nurse after being immu-. nised against polio. The two to nine-year- olds were the first to receive the new vac­ cine and returned to the clinic three weeks later for a second injection. • Senior champion at Clitheroe Girls’


Grammar School’s annual sports held on the Chatburn Road cricket ground was 16-year-old Patsy Wells, of De Lacy House. With 15 points she gained a nar­ row victory over runner-up Judith Bing­ ham who collected 14 points.

A step, and ramp, nearer completion


When my husband returned from the


betting ring he was furious with me, as attached to the binoculars were hundreds of badges we had collected over the years from the Queen Mothers’ Stand at Aintree on Grand National Day, to the open golf championships, a visit to Wimbledon and lots, lots more. I was advised to go to the racecourse


office to see if they had been handed in, this being on the other side of the course from where I had left them. So after only several minutes I inquired


at the office if they had been found. Lo and behold, the lady produced them from under the counter as they had been handed in straight away, but the honest punter had not left his or her name. So thank you, whoever you are, for

come improvement to the facilities, they are just a small step towards the full development of the centre,” explained Steve Ragnall, one of the centre’s volunteers. “We are committed to ensuring


25 years ago


THE new Ribble Valley Mayor was installed. Waddington farmer Coun. John Iveson Walmsley received the chain of office from his predecessor Coun. Miss Agnes Melling, of Longridge. ©Clitheroe traders were planning a


colourful red, white and blue welcome for Prince Charles. Bunting throughout the town had been erected by a team of volun­ teers from the Chamber of Trade . ® The mental health action group


MIND was to appeal against a further refusal by the Ribble Valley Council’s chief executive Mr Michael Jackson to overturn his decision to refuse 618 Calder- stones patients the right to vote. ® Pendleton School lost i ts fight to


remain open after governors of the 143- year-old village school received official notice from the Secretary of State for Education stating tha t the school must close in July. • Clitheroe girl Christine Bailey, who


has been blind since birth, was given a most precious gift - a pair of “eyes”. Christine (24), of Claremont.Avenue, was given two-year-old Tara, a crossbred labrador-golden retriever to guide her every step.


What is real living?


basic education for their chil­ dren to give them a better chance in their futures. Take a country like Burkino


Faso, in West Africa, which is one of the poorest countries in the world.


Its population of 13 million


rely mostly on working in agri­ culture, which is so often affect­ ed by drought. I t’s a country where employ­


ment is scarce and many will travel for work to’neighbouring countries. A staggering 45 % of the pop­


ulation live below the poverty line, which is no wonder when an agricultural worker can only expect to earn the equivalent of


£20 per month. Many children end up working in mining or agriculture, or as domestic ser­ vants, to support their families instead of getting any educa­ tion. There are only three doc­ tors for every 100,000 people


and the average age expectancy is only 44 years. Compare that .to how many


doctors there are for the popu­ lation of the Ribble Valley, with less than 100,000 people, and how long we can expect to live. How does that make you feel? Would we be happy in a situ­


ation like that? Is that what we call living? Are we happy living as we do in a world where there are millions more people living


in desperate poverty and need? This week is Christian Aid


Week. Christian Aid believes in “life before death”. , It works through aid projects and campaigns to enable more people to live a life worth living before they die. Please give generously this


week to Christian Aid and give your support to their cam­ paigns for a fairer world that others might enjoy life before they die.
