I I last Thursday, I read the view of V - / t h e Kibble .Valley’s,estate agents-


that the housing market was in fine fettle and then, on Sky News, I watched the Governor of the Bank of England telling us a rather different story in his speech at

the Mansion House. : Interestingly, the Governor was com­


pletely straightforward about the credit


. markets; The banks have been profligate and foolish in their lending. They have


' lost a fortune. They are now rebuilding : their balance sheets; When they have •completed that task, they will start lend­ ing again. By then, house prices will be rather lower than they are now. I t will take a year or two, but then prices will start groyving again.

bought for the Week Do the right thing USED to have a'saying i


< I that I would often say to , 'v'JLmy children:'“Don’t do i : what’s easy, do what’s right.” ; Hopefully i t was good


■ 'advice that they tried to fol- ' low. Doing the right thing can ' sometimes be the perfectly..'


• natural thing to do, but a t ; other times it can be. terribly hard and-cause, you, much


:> heartache.. Today on the news, ! .' I have seen two items that on }


i hand have given me hope. ; iLiiThe first was a mother who;.: r turned in her two sons to the•! •’police for savagely.beating up;' ■?;an innocent bystander. As a .; : result of her actions she-has.-' ’'■'been totally shunned by her-


'family and is not even allowed to see her grandchildren. ' ; In many ways she is a bro­ ken woman. She said that she acted in love to try to stop her boys from spiralling into a life • of crime. I wonder how her


: family would have felt if one of their family had been almost


■ killed for no reason at all.'■ : 's'The second story was of a


: dad who turned in his son for. possessing a fire^m, resulting


; the one hand have caused me; = ' real sadness, but on the other-,


- in his son being jailed for three years. You could see he was deeply troubled, but believed


.he had!dorie the right .thing. ■'.Through the brave actions of


.' these two people, at tremen- '■ dous personal cost, all of us are vthat little bit safer. We should be truly grateful to'them; And


. it may just be that those who have gone to jail will be able to '


' reflect on their actions and be able to make a new start. - Which leads me to another


point. I wonder how often we say no to our children. How many times do we turn a blind eye or a deaf ear when they do


: something th a t is clearly wrong? When we do then we do them no favours a t all, for we allow them to be less than


.they could be. We teach them that i t’s all right, to do wrong things for there are no conse-


, quences and you can get away withit. , ■


I personally find it easier to . • look the other way, but I know


, .that my children have really benefited when I have chal­


lenged them and made them responsible for their actions. ^


-Yes it’s been difficult and there ; . may have been a few tears .


' along the way, but now I just know th a t they have turned out just fine and have given


me great joy. • My Lord, Jesus Christ never^


' took the easy option and t l ^ . ■ Cross reminds us that he diu !


. the right thing and that love j : never takes the easy option. >


, : At the end of the day we all


: get the society we deserve. Let us be committed to each other ,... and never “do what’s easy, but. always do what’s right”.

MEMBERS of Clitheroe Congrega­ tional Church choir travelled to the Lake District for their annual picnic. A motor charabanc had been chartered to take the party of 24 to Bowness for the day.

• Evening class students who had entered exams through the Union of. Lancashire and Cheshire Ins titutes enjoyed tremendous success in their studies. Special praise was given to the female students with only one failure in the “useful” subject of domestic econo­ my and a 100% pass rate in dressmak­ ing and needlework.

more interesting to say. He told us that the rise in the cost of food and fuel was even more important than the credit crunch. People in China and India are getting richer and have started compet­ ing with us for food and fuel. This process is unstoppable and we just have to get used it. That'means that, as a nation, we must either work harder or consume less. The Government, according to the Gov­ ernor, cannot artificially reduce prices, but there are five things it can do straight away which will help, at least in part. The Government can stop buying food


in order to destroy it by turning it into biofuel. It will offend the nicey, nicey lib­ erals, but it will make food cheaper. The Government can allow farmers to plant genetically modified foods that are


Looking Back 50 years ago


THE highest-ever marks in cycling pro­ ficiency tests over a large area of the West Riding were gained by a pupil of Bowland County Secondary School, Grindleton, which in 1958 was in York­ shire not Lancashire. He was Bryan Hol- gate, who was awarded 98 marks out of a possible 100. • Windows were blown out, walls


scorched, the TV set burned out and the telephone and fuse boxes damaged at Brownlow Farm, Twiston, when a thun­ derbolt struck. One eyewitness described the lightning as dancing along the phone wires until it reached the farm.


25 years ago


A TREE bug was causing concern for the Forestry Commission. To stop the great spruce bark beetle from destroy­ ing too many trees, the commission was considering introducing the beetle’s arch enemy into the fray. Readers were asked to contact the Commission if they saw dead or dying spruce trees in their area. • Former CRGS pupil Dr Norman


Myers was awarded the World Wildlife Fund’s highest honour, the gold medal. The fund’s international president. Prince Philip, presented the former Clitheroe man with his medal during a ceremonyinMontreux. ■

the Common Agricultural Policy so that we can import food from poor countries. I t will offend the nicey, nicey liberals, but it will make food cheaper. The Government, can s ta r t building


nuclear power stations so that we become less dependent onhighly priced, imported fossil fuels. I t will offend the nicey, nicey liberals, but it will reduce average energy costs and increase our energy security. The Government can reduce the num­


ber of fit and able people it pays not to work and thus ensure that, as a nation, we produce more and can consume more. That would send the nicey, nicey liberals into an apoplectic rage and it would be a delight to behold. We have been giving in to these people for far too long and they richly deserve their inevitable comeup­ pance. . '
