AT the fortnightly meeting of the Clitheroe Board of Guardians it was decided to substitute tea in place of cocoa in the workhouse dietary tables due to the fact that the inmates did not appreciate the cocoa and the greater portion of it was wasted. • A 750-page blue book was issued as


an appendix to the report of the Royal Commission on the poor laws. It con­ tained a report by Mr Cyril Jackson and the Rev. J. C. Pringle on the consider­ able effects of unemployrment and the assistance given to the unemployed since 1886. The authors of the report seemed con­


f j i o c a


vinced that the solution to unemploy­ ment lay in better organisation of the workers and more consideration from the employer.

Saving money? That’s a myth N


ot long ago the voters of Lan­ cashire (what’s left of it) went to the polls and elected the Conserva­ tive Party toVun Lancashire County


Council for the benefit of all, thinking that they might do a better job than the New Labour lot were doing. But have we made the right choice? I have read in various local newspapers


the following items of information, which all make me wonder if we have made one big mistake in voting them into power: They aimounced that there were going


to be improvements in various areas, but failed to mention that they are going to borrow some £40m. to finance things. That’s on top of the £634m. budget that is supplied by the Government and the council tax payers of the county. Of course that money will have to be paid back, with interest, and presumably added onto the bills to us in coming

years. With a total workforce of 40,000, you would think that some reductions and cutbacks would be the way forward to reduce the bill to the ratepayers of this county, but you would be wrong. The LCC has an advert for a “Myth


Busting PR Officer” at a salary of £30,000 per year, with perks of course. This new vacancy is for “research into the attitudes and responses to migrants, to formulate and deliver a positive cam­


Looking Back 50 Years Ago


THE annual agricultural show at Slaid- burn was a huge success, due to one of the best summers there had been in decades. Mr Clem Seed, of Beattrix Farm, won the Hanson Cup for best dairy bull and the Procter Cup for the best collection of dairy cattle. The show came to a close with a


dance in Newton Village Institute. • Mr Wiliam Rutter was formally


adopted as the Parliamentary Labour candidate for the Clitheroe Division at a crowded meeting of the Divisional Labour Party in Clitheroe. He said 400 mills had shut down, resulting in the loss of almost 100,000 cotton workers in Lancashire, and added that the Labour Party’s policy was based on expansion, rising production, higher exports and full employment of men and equipment.

paign to dispel negative myths and per­ ceptions towards migrants”.'


The Tory councillor responsible for


this new position, Mike Calvert, states that it is an essential part of community cohesion. What a load of rubbish that is! What’s


that all about? Are we not trying to save money? Were the Conservatives not voted in for that sole reason, and are we now being sold down the river by these people? It jolly well looks like it. Aiiother worrying aspect is that some


of these so-called councillors might devel­ op the attitude that they are somehow above the common people and might start to ride roughshod over things, maybe becoming a mini-dictatorship? It wouldn’t be the first time. What do you think? You can e-mail Ribblerouser direct at: enufisenuf4me(gyahoo.co.uk


’s new deputy T


h is is the new deputy head at Moorland Indepen­ dent School, Clitheroe. Jonathan Harrison (pic­ tured) also joins the senior management team of the


co-educational boarding and day school. In addition to teaching duties, he will liaise with parents


and teachers, assist with the pastoral care of pupils and imdertake a range of administrative duties, including mar­


keting. Jonathan is a former pupil of Moorland and the son of


the principals, John and Janet Harrison, so he has a thor­ ough grounding in the school’s culture, traditions and aca­


demic standards. An experienced teacher of some eight years standing,


the 36-year-old originally trained and qualified at Edge Hill University, then established a track record at a state- maintained Catholic school in Manchester, as head of careers and PSHE and second in the ICT Department. “As a former pupil, I have very fond memories of Moor­ land and I am extremely excited about my new challenge


as deputy head,” says Jonathan. “The school has many outstanding traditions and I


believe that our ethos of small class sizes is one of our essential characteristics, which gives Moorland the edge over comparable state and independent schools, where larger classes are becoming the norm.” (s)

CLITHEROE Health Centre won praise from the medical journal “Pulse” for the huge progress made by the med­ ical profession’s negotiators in develop­ ing general practice. This was due to the personal enthusiasm and idealism of the GPs involved, who had extended their role to take on such things as minor sur­ gery and paediatric surveillance, all on an unpaid basis. This won the support of the local health authority to allow them to become among the first GPs to computerise their records and to devel­ op their own community hospital. • Ian Peel’s name went into the


record books following a remarkable 200 clays out of 200 shot in the automatic ball-trap discipline at the Grand Prix of Great Britain. Before Ian shattered the record, it stood at 197 out of 200.

(confidential - signed official secrets actl). Hello Hell. As you move out on patrol,


in a foreign country hundreds of miles away from home shores, there's a knot in your gut and an icy fear in yoiir heart because your section- leader has appointed you for­ ward o d 's


man. You know


T’S 1971, you’re 17-and- a-half years old and in the prime of life, but you


that entire patrols have been lost because the forward look­ out didn't anticipate what the enemy might do. Without warning, the vio­


lent shock and utter surprise of gunfire paralyses you. Then a bullet tears through your flesh. One glance to your left flank tells you the patrol leader’s family is now father­ less. „


Another is dead; stiU anoth­


er is bleeding profusely. And as you’re the most experi­ enced man still alive, sudden­ ly you’re in charge. The odds are against you.


You’re outnumbered, out­ gunned, and not in the great­ est position to wage a counter attack. And the only thing between life and death for you


and your men is your leader­ ship. Fail now and the only thing they’ll find is your ID discs. Let’s make a critical change


in this scenario. You’re still the forward lookout on patrol. But this time you’re not lead­ ing men - you're leading your family.


Maybe you think that com­


parison is a stretch. I don't. Leading a family through the chaos of the postmodern world is like leading a small patrol through enemy-occu­ pied territory. And the casual­ ties are real. We love om- families. We’d


be willing to die for them. And in most wars, that's what soldiers are asked to do. But in this war. Jesiis is looking for


men and women who are veil­ ing to live for their families. We are to he spiritual leaders and examples, protecting and providing for those we love (1 Timothy 5:8), not turning “to the right” or “to the left” (Joshua 1:8). In the spiritual war on the


family, a man's godly leader­ ship can make the difference between life and death. How do I confidently lead my fam­


ily? In what respect do I need to


improve? How can God's Word make the difference? If you're willing to die for your family, why not be will­


ing to live for them too. REV. DON JOHNSON, Minister,


Billington Community Church.


Kurt passes with flying colours

SAB DEN airman received a special award when he passed out from his training with the


RAF Regiment. Leading Aircraftman Kurt Gough


(18), pictured, of Sabden Brook Court, won the RAF Regiment Asso­ ciation trophy for drill and deport­ ment at the passing out parade at RAF Honington, near Bury St Edmonds in Suffolk, where all officers and airmen entrants to the RAF Reg­ iment begin their professional train­


LAC Gough joined the regiment m


February and has graduated as a gun­ ner after an intensive 22-week course. All his family from Sabden, including his mother Mrs Alison Latimer, sisters Kirby (16), Kenya (12), his grandpar­ ents, and his father Steven Gough,


from Clitheroe, travelled to see him receive the silver salver trophy. The award is decided by the Flight Com­ mander and all the course instructors and goes to the trainee gunner who has developed an excellent military deportment, both on and off duty, on the parade square and, most impor­ tantly, during field exercises. It also took into consideration high standards of personal organisation,


both with kit and fieldwork. LAC Gough, who is a former pupil


of Sabden Primary School and Rib- blesdale High School, Clitheroe, will remain at Honington for a further six months before his first posting with the RAP Regiment, which is the RAF’s ground fighting force and bears the motto “Per Ardua” - Through

lX-year-old Lizzie War- burton is our latest monthly Relay Reader


winner. The pupil of Waddington


and West Bradford Primary School (pictured) took part in the competion which is run by local libraries in conjunction with this newspaper. Lizzie's award-winning


review was of Sally Grindley’s “The Giant Postman”.


She particulary liked the


giant postman’s “thump, thump, thump” and Billy’s “tap, tap, tap”, as well as the part where Billy received a let­ ter from the giant postman. Lizzie enjoyed reading the


book because she did not know what was going to hap­ pen next and her favourite part was when Billy and the Giant Postman made friends with each other, (s)
