DID you know that stor-, ing ICE in yoiir mobile, phone, could save- v ita l­ time in an emergency? ' . These days most of us carry


o u r' mobile’ phones; with names and numbers stored in • their memory. If we were to be involved in an accident or suddenly taken ill, the people attending us‘would have our mobile phone, but wduldnlt- know.^ who to call. ■


There ‘


might be hundreds' of num- - hers stored, but which one is; the key person to contact in case of an emergency? T h a t is why Lancashire.''


Fire and Rescue Service is urging mobile phone users.


; The concept of “ICE” is;


' catching on fast as a method • of contacting key people,in emergency situations. To join .the campmgn, all you need to ;.do is store the number of a

AS those with first-hand memo­ ries of living through the Second World War grow sadly fewer and fewer, it is vital that younger gen­ erations share in their experi- ■ ences and the lessons learned. . ' Today’s children can have no grasp of what it was like to live ■ through a war that started 70 years ago, but at Oakhill College, in 'Whalley, they have been find- - ing out.


'. As part of their history lessons, children in,Years 4 and 5 wel- . corned Mrs Lillian Hargreaves,


the grandmother of pupil Katie Maher. Mrs Hargreaves, who lives in


Langho and is the owner of Myt- ton Fold Hotel, was born just before the start of the war.' ; For a full half-hour there was


not a peep from the spellbound ' . class as she gave a fascinating account of her own wartime childhood experiences.. . ^ . She brought to life the reality . of how hard rationing was by -

A NEW fleet of top-tWrange buses costing £3.5m. will soon be operating on Ribble Valley routes.


: Mainline, operated , by Tmsdev Burnley and Pendle,


-


Iwill run the new buses bn' its services linking Clitheroe and Whalley to Padiham, Burnley, Nelson and Colna Mainline’s Commercial


Director David Wilson said: “It’s the biggest ever invest­ ment in buses in the area and it’s our vote of confidence in the local economy. The 19 new buses are low floor vehicles with full‘access for wheelchairs and buggies.” The buses will also be the “greenest” ever seen in the


area. Mr Wilson explained: “They


are fitted with the latest Euro '


Fleet of clean green buses .; the air.-coming'out of the ■,


;;:V engines, which cutemissioiis ’- dramatically. In fact, at time^


... exhaust could be cleaner that ' the air going into the en^e! ‘ ' “We estimate that if just five'


people left their cars at home • and caught one of these new


buses the environment would ' be much better off.”


• For any bus aficionados


: out there, the new vehicles are . Wright “Solar’’ 44-seat bus


- bodies built on a Volvo ; a t Wright’s factory in Bally-


: mena. Northern Ireland. In ' addition to the new buses, a '


. further 11 buses to be used on; ■ the Mainline services are undergoing an extensive refur-


- bishment programme to bring them up to the same high standards. "


; - NE'W research, commissioned by


. NHS East Lancashire, shows that only 8% of us count our units when


. drinking alcohol, mainly because we don’t know how to measure them. 3 T h e research, which involved inter-


! viewing 500 people in the boroughs of Ribble Valley, Hyndburn, Burnley, Pen­ dle and Rossendale, also revealed that more common ways which people used to know how much they had drunk were how,, many glasses/shots they had downed, or how much money they had


' left! Ian Treasure, Alcohol Harm and


Reduction Commissioning Manager, commented: “Though the results are sur­ prising, it’s understandable that people are confused by units, as there are many factors - from percentage volume to drink size - that determine the number of: u n its in a drink. Also, the un it allowance varies between the sexes, so for men the recommended weekly limit is 21 units and for women it’s 14 units.


. “However, by not measuring units, people often don’t realise how much they are drinking,.Iet alone the harmful effects this' can have on their health.” Tb^He’lp,you .‘.‘Know when to say

“We don’t want to tell people not to drink,” added Ian, “I t’s just about know-

limit, you should avoid alcohol for 48 hours. We have made specialist alcohol treatment services more accessible as our


. priority this year, and we will continue to • offer help as we aim to ‘Save a Million Years of Life! across the population of

ACCLAIMED theatre director Max Stafford-Clark made time in his busy schedule to share his knowledge and expe­ rience with students at Stonyhurst Col­ lege.

atre studies received expert coaching from the great man during an afternoon workshop a t the college. I t followed a

particularly in the area of new writing. He has also directed plays for the Royal Shakespeare Company , and a t the National Theatre and been called “the most distinguished director of new work that the British theatre still has”.


• Pupils enjoyed the workshop, held in the college’s own theatre,-the Academy; Room, where they learned a wide range of performance techniques. • '. . Johanna Egar, head of Theatre Studies;


; at Stonyhurst, said: “'We are enormously , grateful to Max Stafford-Clark and his


■ assistant, Stella Feehily, for spending time with us. I t was a tremendous oppor-


: tunity for the students to work with such a distinguished theatre director.” .
