SPECIAL preachers were invited to the Parish Church Sunday School anniver­ sary service.'The Rev. J. H. Wolfenden, of Blackburn, had been asked to preach a t the morning service; the Rev. A. E. Swallow, of Waddington, to take the afternoon service, and Bishop Thornton for the evening. However, the Bishop was delayed due to a minor car accident and the Rev. J. H. Wrigley stepped in. • A teenage boy drowned in the River


Ribble. The 14-year-old had gone bathing with two friends at a deep spot known as “Dangerous Comer”. The boy dived into the water then started shout­ ing for help. A railway porter who was nearby, managed to pull him out of the water, but was unable to revive him. . • Members of the Parish Church

E , ' Poor old Mr Brown! He understands


economics and; because of that, he knorre that it is not his fault and that there is nothing that he can do about it. There are tvro big reasons for the increase and he has no invoh'ement in either.


. The first is that the dreadful, virtually


Stalinist governments in China and India have loosened their grip on their economies and, as a result, their people - a third of the population of the world - are quickly getting richer. Hundreds of millions of peo­ ple who used to survive on a handful of cereals and the odd vegetable can now afford to eat meat and, as a kilo of meat takes eight kilos of cereals to produce, demand for cereals has shot up. And when demand goes up, so do prices


until the farmers catch up and start pro­ ducing enough for everyone. So, all things being equal, we can expect food prices to go back down again, in four or five years’

time. But all thinp are not equal. The sec­ ond reason for the increase in food prices is the climate change fanaticism of the Eluro- pean Union. Their officials have decided to go into competition with the poorest peo­ ple in the world and to buy up the cereals which they struggle to afford to keep their, children alive.

destroy it as food and turn it into biofuel for our motor cars.

TWO brothers, John and David Rycroft, of Waddington Road, Clitheroe, shared the honours in the annual cycle rally arranged by Clitheroe Borough and Rural District Joint Road Safety Com­ mittee and Lancashire Constabulary Accident Prevention branch. • It was the "thrill of a lifetime" for


the Choyce family, of Clitheroe. Mr and Mrs C. Choyce, of Mayfield Avenue, and


• their 11-year-old son, Cameron, were in London to watch 18-year-old Malcolm take part in the Trooping the Colour cer­ emony. Malcolm, a corporal in the Cold­ stream Guards, had done guard duty at Buckingham Palace before leaving for Kenya mth his regiment. '

VOTERS were a t the polls deciding which of three candidates should repre­ sent the Ribble Valley in Parliament. Turnout was expected to be between 75 and 80% with residents casting their vote for: David Waddington, (Con); Ed Saville, (Lab), or Michael Carr, SDP Liberal Alliance. ' ^ ■ • A new constituency reaching from Read to Fulwood meant th a t potentially 60,000 electors could put their vote in the ballot box.: : : , ; ; : • The grounds of Clitheroe Castle


were due to host three performances of a light opera to be given by members of Pendle Opera Company. The Castle stage was to'be transformed into a Scot­ tish highland :■ as a backdrop to Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor”,

unelected. Continental officials who gov-


' erned virtually the whole of Europe by controlling the^governments of nation states and thought: they could purify the world by. the death of people of other eth­ nic groups.' , -


; ' .These modern tyrants have only just started. They:have imposed laws on the Government of poor, pathetic Mr Brotvn requiring him to take more and more of the food out of the mouths of the poor. Over the next 10 years or so, they have ordered him to increase the amount he takes more than twentyfold and they have ordered the other European nations to do the same.


' If you Google the phrase “food riots” Why have they done it? In order t o . you will see that hungry non-white people


; in Africa, Asia and Latin America are on the march and ready to die to save their children from the menace of rising food prices. As the climate change fanatics of theEU increase the world price of food, we will buy our children fewer computer

Popula;!: duo making sweet music in town centre shop


/;NE of Clitheroe’s most pojiular I shops has been saved from closure , as local buyers have been found.. ; Music lovers in the Ribble Valley


feared 1;hat: Clitheroe Music would close for good wheii’owners Richard and Liz Goodall'aiinounced they were retiring this summer. • ■ Their shop in Moor Lane has become


a focal point for the Valley music scene since it was founded by the popular for­ mer music teachers six years ago.:;; -" And now, local musicians, have


breathed a sigh of relief following the announcement that Sabden couple Paul and Yvonne Wickham have taken over. Richard said: “We are sad to be leav­


ing as we have worked hard to build up Clitheroe Music and have made so many friends through the business. “We decided if we were to sell to any­


one else it would have to be someone who shares our love of music and our vision


■ for-the business and we know we have found th e r ig h t people in Paul and Yvonne.” The name Wickham is already well


known in local music circles through the couple’s children. ■ Their son John (16) has been a mem-,


her of the Clitheroe Grammar Swing : Band for several years and recently formed the John Wickham Trio, a jazz group which is gaining a strong jocal fol­ lowing ‘Broth’er.Joe (f4) has won many local awards for. his clarinet performances and


now studies at the junior Royal North­ ern College of Music in Manchester. ; ■ However, it is dad, Paul, who is better known in the wider music industry. The. former sound engineer has worked in the famous Abbey Road studios in London as well as in the Far East. , Yvonne, a keen piano player, said: “We


are delighted to be taking over Clitheroe Music and want to build on the wonder­ ful work Richard and Liz have done over the past few years.” : ■


. Local musicians have welcomed the


. news. Clitheroe piano teacher Jan et ^ Ismail said:;.“We are very sorry to see Richard and Liz go as they were always very professional, helpful and friendly and have created a wonderful resource, for musicians in the area. ' ■


. “However, I am sure Paul and Yvonne will offer an equally good service which is just what music teachers and musi- • dans in the Ribble Valley need.” • Our picture shows Paul and Yvonne Wickham, who have now taken over Clitheroe Music, (s)
