if semi-derelict, building and, secure in the knowledge that you will not be spotted, you light a fire, drink yourself stupid and scatter all the standard rubbish associated with drink and drugs. Is that fun or what! Of course it is, so
you save your money for a couple of weeks, stock up with everything you need and add a few cans of spray paint for good
measure. Working on the further premise that if a
job is worth doing it is worth doing well, even when it is a bit chilly, you pack your tent and overnight bags and a few essential tools for breaking and entering just in case, then off you go again. Having erected the tent, the next

THE vogue of the season, velvet or vel veteen - as was the wiser choice for the econmically disposed - was discussed in the Women’s gossip section. It stated the social etiquette concerning such gowns, coats and cloaks, giving particu lar emphasis to the faux pas of velvets at the theatre - a definite “no”. . • A front page advertisement gave
notice of a married ladies’ tea at the Wesley Chapel in Clitheroe. • “A Dream of Autumn,” “Going a

Nutting” and “The Missing Flowers” were a few titles from a selection of poems published on the theme “Autumn.” The poets were girls ages between 11 and 13, from a school near Clitheroe. The column followed on from the considerable popularity, by readers, of previously published essays by school children of the Clitheroe district. • Brother F. Stark produced a paper
detailing the Independent Order of Oddfellows. The group, of more than a million members, was described as the greatest Friendly Society the world has ever seen; a brotherhood, whose off shoots and branches are the country in which we live, but whose circumference is limitless.
requirement is firewood - well, there is no point in being cold on a night out! No problem, with a stack of chairs just an ille gal entry. So having trashed everything that will not bum and topped up the racist graffiti splatted over every inside wall, you can light your bonfire and settle down by the flames with your cans of lager and bot tles of vodka. Once you have smashed and scattered
your empties it is time to retire to your tent for a well earned night’s sleep. No problem so far, but here comes the real dilemma-your late lie-in is disturbed

IT was 54 years ago that a young post man started his duties in Newton deliv ering on foot to the scattered farm houses mail which had come over the fell from Clitheroe by pony and trap. Eleven years after his retirement fol
lowing 47 years service with the Post Office, 73-year-old Mr John Dawson and his wife, a member of a well-known New ton family, celebrated their golden wed ding. The occasion was marked by a gathering of family and friends at the Post Office, Newton. For his excellent service to the Post Office, Mr Dawson was awarded the long service medal. • At their annual speech day, Mr G.
Hood, headmaster of Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, spoke of the danger of the passive attitude, taken as the “norm”, by the student generation. I t was said that “teaching is not lec turing”. Pupils must do more than swal

a physical and mental response, but even so, the best of teachers were seen to have been failing to strike sparks in the minds of pupils. The threat to education was described as mental indigestion.

SENIOR planning officer Mr J. Pendlebury with Lancashire County Council’s mineral division, said the Waddington Fell Quarry firm had sub mitted a new planning application, which would place no limit on the type of material it sought to excavate. A packed public meeting in
Waddington reaffirmed the village’s opposition to any extension of the
quarry. Resident af te r resident told how
their lives were being made intolerable by heavy lorries passing through the village to and from the quarry. • Read Boys’ Football Club easily

Britain tennis team were well rested before competing irithe Special Olympics in Shanghai, China. His company, Clear Prospects
C
Ltd, which supplies and sources corporate gifts, donated The JetRest® travel pillows to the team and two coaches flying over to the global event for athletes with a learning disability. And it seems th a t the gifts
worked well, as the team came home with a magnificent medal haul of five gold, two silver and two bronze medals. Michael said: “We were approached by the Tennis Foun-
LITHEROE businessman Michael Robinson made sure members of the Great

The ergonomically designed
travel pillow, manufactured in Lancashire, is now a bestseller and is available online a t

Purpose in life We were created for some
thing more. As Rob Parsons, founder of Care for the Fami ly, often quotes: “No one was ever heard to say on his deathbed ‘I wish I had spent more time at the office’.” Serving others brings more
satisfaction. If we are employed, our a t t i tu d e in that employment will govern how well we are satisfied. If we just do it for money, we will want more. If we do it to serve well, we can be satisfied. Yesterday I heard an
account of two Moravian young men more than two
an island in the West Indies owned by an atheistic man who had 3,000 slaves working for him. He had said he would allow
no preachers or clergymen on the island because he had fin ished with God. The two young men sold
themselves as slaves to this man and used the money to pay their passage from Ger many to the island, because the owner would not even transport them. This was not a four-year commitment, it was the rest of their life. They were not coming back. Thev did this because they
wanted to te ll these poor slaves, who had been ripped from their homes and fami lies, that there was a God who loved them and that the Lord Jesus had died for them. Their attitude helped shape the Moravian missionary movement, which in turn has influenced this country. They were sold out on making their life count. Will the things we do today
help to make our life count for something?
