the Holy Trinity,- acknowl­ edging that our .God reveals • himself to us as Father, Son , and Holy Spirit. ■ .

AST■ Sunday .many : Christian churches cel­ ebrated the Feast,of


word in the Creed was one of the -factors in the split between the Roman Church in Western Europe and what we.now call the Orthodox churches in the East. ■ ; v- That word was “Filioque’’ meaning “and the Son”; the Roman-Church said that the “Spirit proceeded from the Fath'er. and the Son” while


: the: Eastern Christians said ’ that the “Spirit proceeded


-from the Father’! only. -.iToday we would wonder how one word could be such a


source of argument; and in any case what do we mean by ■ “proceed” in this context? ; One way of looking at the


• .Trinity is to say that Father : is the Creator and Originator of all being, the Son, Jesus


: Christ, is the Redeemer of mankind, and the Holy Spirit . is the Sanctifier, the one who'


t makes us holy i.e. ,draws us - closer to God;


.This,brings:the T r in i ty ' . very close to each of-us; we •

Trinity! However, in conver-

-enlightenment on this my^^; ■ tery, namely that we must


- the Trinity as a Community ;. In other words, God is com-

■ PROFESSIONAL.: :


EFFORTS to form a cricket club in Gisburn met with success and the enthusiasm which was displayed in the initial stages augured well for the future of the club. The chief obstacle in the way of the formation of the club appeared to be the acquisition of ground, but through the instrumental­ ity of Mr Wingate-Saul, that was over­ come. Arrangements for fixtures at the ground proceeded at once. • In the council’s minutes, Alderman


Mitchel felt attention needed to be paid to the enormous increase in the expendi­ ture on education. Teachers! salary alone had risen to £4,107 from £2,448 in the previous five years. Coun. Wade, a member of the Education Committee, admitted that there had been an alarm­ ing increase of salaries. , ::


50 Years Ago


THE traditional and colourful proces­ sion of civic dignitaries and corporation officials from the Starkie Arms Hotel to the Town Hall took place to pay tribute to the new Mayor of Clitheroe, Coun. James Entwistle. The Mayor, also a deputy headmaster of Ribblesdale Sec­ ondary Modern School, proposed a vote of thanks to the retiring mayor and mayoress, councillor and Mrs J. W. D. Critchley. • To mark the golden jubilee of


Rotary International and silver jubilee of their own club, the Rotary Club of Clitheroe presented the corporation with'a silver gift chain and pendant to ■ the Deputy Mayor.,


, • The pendant contained a central


-shield depicting the castle of the bor- ::ough’s old crest. ■ .


25 Years Ago


DAYS before the deadline for objections to the plan to combine Clitheroe’s two Grammar Schools, the “Save our Souls” action was as determined as ever to carry on the fight.'A petition containing 10,669 signatures of objection was sent to the Department of Education, in London, and protesters were prepared to go to Westminster to lobby the Min­ ister, whose decision would be final. • This week saw the official opening


of High Brake Nursing Home, in Chat- burn Road,: Clitheroe. Peter and Dorothy. Whiteside opened the private nursing home, which offered comfort and care, catering for men and women of retirement age. Weeks and weeks of hard work resulted in High Brake being changed from a private house to a com­ fortable nursing home.

'v r ' ™ a weekly look at local issues, people and places ,,


Thursday’s by-election is that Tamsin Dunwoody, the Labour Party candidate, is the daughter of the former. member, Gwyneth. It seems natural enough to me. Fruit rarely falls far from the tree and the voters of Crewe and Nantwich, at the very least, will know what to expect of her. .> Funnily enough, inherited position


t


seems to be a particular feature of the left of the Labour Party with govern-


. ment minister Hilary Benn, son of Tony Benn, having had father, grandfather


■and great grandfather in the House of Commons.


\ I t’s all very redolent of young Alger­


non sitting at the same desk at Eton as his father occupied and carving his ini­ tials next to Pater’s. Our political parties really are becoming almost indistinguish­ able from each other. In terms of important policies, they


are, in fact, identical and I will give just three examples. For all that we are in difficult times, Britain is a very rich and productive


Three parties, but one choice ‘ As I See I t . . .


HOUGH the Labour Party does a lot of talking about being opposed to inherited wealth and power,: almost the most interesting thing about ■

country, the fourth most productive in the world. I t would be very nice if the sixty million of us who live here could choose to spend what we earn as we wished, but the political parties do not allow it. They leave us collectively with 57% of


it, to spend more or less as we like, and take 43% to spend as the six hundred and odd Members of Parliament think best. The voters of Crewe and Nantwich have a choice. They can vote Labour, who ivill take 43%, or Conservative, who will take 43%, or Liberal, who will take 43%. For all that we are an educated, sophis­


ticated people with a long democratic tradition, about 80 pages out of every 100 pages of new laws that bind us are


•: ■ . '.,■■ Michael’s golf mission


made by people we do not elect in Brus­ sels. I do not think I am alone in consid­ ering this slightly undemocratic. Howev­ er, the voters of Crewe and Nantwich will have a choice between Labour, which is in favour of it, or Conservative, which is in favour of it, or Liberal, which is in favour of it.


My third example concerns our chari­


table impulse, which is still very strong. When an Englishman sees a fellow who is down on his luck, his natural response is to help him get back up on his feet as quickly as he can. Though the politicians say they will do


that for us, what they actually do is to make the less fortunate utterly depend­ ent on handouts and so demoralise them that even their children become depend­ ent after them, r,: : All three parties say that they want to


do something about it, but, in power, both Labour and Conservative have done it continuously for 60 years. Leopards do not change their spots. Politicians just love people coming cap in hand to them. Advice to the electors of Crewe and


Nantwich? Hold your nose and take your pick!

OLFING ambassa-


istrator for Clitheroe-based law firm Backhouse Jones, has been appointed presi­ dent of the Lancashire Union of Golf Clubs. The prestigious position


will mean that Mr Yates, pic­ tured, will become the figure­ head for 141 golf clubs, help­ ing to promote and encourage new players to take up the sport, -i , The retired former fire offi­

: from the legal industry, which has adapted to attract a ■wider range of professionals. He said: “I am delighted to


take up this prestigious role within the Lancashire Union. Golf is a real passion of mine and I am determined to do all I can to encourage young golfers and more women to take part in the sport. “In my role at Backhouse

Jones I have seen how a sport, or profession such as law, can change and adapt to move


. with the times, and in doing so secure a healthy future. Golf clubs are largely a bas­ tion of white, middle-class


; men, a little like law some decadesago. “The first female solicitor


; was only allowed in 1922, and " by 1977 only 7% of solicitors were women. Now this fi^re is 44%.


“The average age at many


golf clubs is 60-plus, and it is vital to show everybody what a dynamic and fulfilling sport golf can be. This will be a key aim for me in the next 12 months.” The Lancashire Union of


Golf Clubs has an office in Lytham and is affiliated to the English Golf Union.
