A LOCAL landlady is encouraging eve­ ryone to Wear It Pink to help raise cash for the Breast Cancer Campaign.- Jan Taylor,Tandlady of the Delacy Arms,


Whalley, is gathering family, friends and cus­ tomers at the pub for a Wear It Pink party on Friday, October 28th.

cancer and one woman in nine will be affected by it during her lifetime in the UK. All the money raised from the Wear it Pink will help beat breast cancer. Jan commented: “Wear It Pink is a fun and


simple way to raise funds for research into breast cancer, so join me on Friday October


28th, wear something pink and donate £2 to the charity and buy some raffle tickets.” Wear It Pink is supported nationally by


Vanish, which has committed to raising £250,000 for the charity this year,

Can you help identify Valley’s war heroes?


by Katie Hammond


THE chance finding of a battered war memorial on a scrap heap in Greater Man­ chester sparked the hunt for any remaining family mem­ bers of the Clitheroe heroes of the First World War who feature among the names


on the roll of honour. The appeal comes after the


memorial has been fiilly re­ stored to its former glory. It will be re-dedicated as close as possible to its original siting. The memorial, which had


lain undiscovered for 15 years in a warehouse in Tfafford Park, appears bronze, but is, in fact; made of cast metal. It features the names of 49 indi­ vidual war casualties. Surnames of the men, to­


gether with their initials, regi­ ments and how they died, gave clues which led to the eventual identification of this as being the missing memorial from the Co-operative Wholesale Soci­ ety Buildings and shop fittings department in Vere Street, Salford. Carol Pearson, of Clitheroe,


was one of the first relatives of the men to come forward. She said: “We first became


• aware that my grandfather was one of the men named on the plaque after a news item on BBC North West Tonight a

“The memorial has been


fully restored and looks fan­ tastic. It will be permanently displayed at the Co-operative Funeral Service building at 143 Cross Lane, Salford, as this is the nearest post code to the original siting in what was Vere Street.” The 12 men from Clitheroe

MichaeFs ‘join me' appeal over major


benefits cut protest A REGISTERED bliiid Clitheroe man will be heading to Manchester on Saturday to take part in the Hardest Hit Day of Action, cam­ paigning against cuts to disability benefit and services that will leave disabled people without


vital support. Michael Tupper (65) has sotne sight, but


needs a lot of support and help with daily tasks such as shopping and cleaning. He has had pretty untreatable sight problems


from a young age and his sight has deteriorated over time. Glaucoma is one of the more com­ mon sight conditions Michael has suffered. Michael, who attended the national Hard­


est Hit protest in London earlier in the year, receives Disability Living Allowance, and is hoping to receive the higher rate mobility com­ ponent, but with the switchover to Personal In­ dependence Payment in 2013 he is concerned that he will receive it now and then it will be­ taken away two years later. Michael, who used to work as a legal aid as­


sessment officer for Department of Work arid Pensions, said: “If my benefits are cut, it will make a considerable difference to my finances, cutting my income by a fifth. “I use my DLA for so many things, includ­ ing buying ready meals as I’m unable to cook


meals myself. “I also need help around the house with


cleaning and support when I go out and about including money to pay for transport. “It’s amazing that the Government has de­


layed paying out the higher rate mobility for so long and now that 1 can claim, it could be in jeopardy. I would seriously have to consider selling my flat to use as capital to live off if my benefits are cut.” Michael is urging others from the North-


West to join him in Manchester and speak out on behalf of disabled people across the region. • For more information or to sign up to an


event please visit wivw.hardesthit.org.uk. The website also contains information for those who cannot travel to an event, but want to sup­ port the campaign today by writing to their MPs or joining our online protest. The Hardest Hit campaign is co-ordinated


by the UK Disabled People’s Council and the Disability Benefits Consortium, a coalition of over 50 disability charities and organisations.
