. standard four-pint bottle of milk to -£1.25.
; ; It has remained at that low price ever since, and losses invariably land at the feet of the milk producer. 'iOther milk buyers cannot compete
on price with large companies like Asda and Tesco, who hold the key to UK Dairy farming sustainability. Despite claims of support for dairy
farmers, they distort the market by hold ing down prices under cover of highly publicised dedicated contracts held by a
■ very small percentage of farmers, leaving the rnajority — however efficient - to face
ongoing prices at below the cost of pro duction. Farmers who protested outside Asda and Tesco distribution depots throughout

IT seems that here at the Clitheroe Ad vertiser and Times office, newspapers were not the only thing available to buy. ‘Novelties at the Advertiser office” in
cluded offerings such as “Vanity bags and Dorothy bags, work boxes and bas kets, collar and cuff boxes, writing and music cases, writing desks, ladies and gents dressing cases, autograph books, gents pocket books, ladies companions, mk steads, crumb tray and brushes, Bi bles, prayer books, post card and stamp albums”. It was common practice of the
; time for newspaper offices to double up as stationers, gift and card shops and this
, was seen as a vital part of the business alongside the printing and distribution of the newspaper.

the country on bitterly cold nights were supporting Farmers for Action, a cam paigning organisation led by daily farmer David Handley. FFA has only stepped in when all other
negotiation has failed to shame these re tailers, protests have been peaceful and protesters have complied fully with re quests from police. The result of daring to challenge Go
liath has led to the issue of an injunction against David and FFA by the Leeds- based company, who are the second big
gest retailer in the UK and owned bv W al
mart, the largest company in the world Asda wields its massive financial power
to intimidate dairy farmers into silence and prevent any future challeneesbv farmers unless made on Asda terms ^ Ironically Asda was formed by a group ofYorkshire Farmers in 1965.
^ Given the size and financial means of
today’s Asda compared to that of FFA this action indicates Asda’s intention to do as they please regardless of how it af fects others as they continue to abuse their power taking an unfair pcrcentaneof the price paid by consumers for milk°and holding on to any gains from the market Ma,ximising profits and short-term
gains at the expense of dairy farmers are far more of a concern to retailers than the long-term future of British Dairy Farming or the long-term interests of consumers who, in the end, will be the loser, as retail ers will seek their profits elsewhere.

to cheer about. We live in an uncertain world!

A new restaurant opened in Clitheroe, with the promise: “If you enjoy sampling the culinary delights and cuisine of for eign countries, there’s a new place in Clitheroe that will save you the air fare!” The Clover had had no expense spared by the proprietor, Mr Wing Wah Che ung. Bamboo patterned wallpaper and pictures depicting the heritage of the Orient set the atmosphere and all equip ment and crockeiy had been imported from Hong Kong. The restaurant would offer “a mouth watering variety of tradi tional Cantonese dishes, the like ofwhich was not available anytvhere in the North of England, outside Manchester.” • For the first time in its 200-year
history, Stonyhurst College would offer places for non-boarders. Eight to ten day boy places would be offered annu ally. The school felt there was a need for places for day boys to receive a Catholic education and the move was seen as a natural progression. Entry would be by written examination, headmaster’s re- • port and interview.
Help needed with this photo puzzle
HERE’S a photograph ic mystery waiting to be solved. This sepia print photo was
found among some old fam ily documents by a woman in Warrington, Dorothy Morrison, who is keen to know more about it. She has no idea who the two men are, but what led her to The Clitheroe Advertiser was the the name and address of the photographer, printed on the back of the picture. It is “J. Forrest & Son, 3 King Street, Clitheroe” - the premises now occupied by The Clitheroe Advertiser and Times. Dorothy remembers see
ing a blown-up version of the picture, but does not know what the connection is to her family. We have no idea about
the picture either, but won dered if our readers might? Do you recognise either of the men - they look like professional gamekeepers, especially with their terrier, rather than well-to-do gents off for a day’s shooting. Perhaps you recognise the building behind them with its distinctive windows? If you can help, please
