Former editor dies in hospital


A FORMER editor of the Ciitheroe.Advertiser and Times has died. Mr John Loynds spent 47


years as a journalist, retiring as deputy editor of ’The Uni­ verse, the national Roman Catholic weekly newspaper, based in London. Born in Ciitheroe, he left Preston Catholic College to


.become a junior reporter on the Advertiser and Times in 1938. A disability prevented him ,


from war service, but his week­ ly column, “This is the Griff” under the pseudonym “Lance- Jack,” kept hundreds of Ciitheroe servicemen in touch with each other and home. After the war he joined the


Manchester Evening News as a sub-editor. Some years later he moved to The Universe, in London. He and Betty married in


1951 and returned to living in Ciitheroe when he rejoined the Manchester Evening News. In the mid-50s he became editor


of the Ciitheroe Advertiser and Times for three years and then in 1958 he became assis- ■ tant news editor of The Uni­ verse.


. • In 1963 he returned North


to Liverpool where The Uni­ verse was printed to oversee its production as assistant editor. Iii 1980 he returned to London as deputy, editor, retaining his home in Southport where he spent his retirement. In 2004 he suffered a stroke and was admitted, to a nursing home near Wigan. He was joined thereby Betty later that year. In April 2006 she died as the result of a heart attack. . On Tuesday of last week, Mr Loynds died in hospital in Wigan due to renal failure. Mr and Mrs Loynds are sur­


vived by three daughters, Mrs Carmel Denny a nursery nurse living in Rugby, Warwickshire; Mrs Patricia (jane, a nurse liv­ ing in Shevington near Wigan and Mrs Barbara Pope, a microbiologist living in Abing­ don Oxon.
