THE Bonnet Box on King Street was ad vertising an Easter Holiday Extravagan za. It offered “Special value in trimmed
hats of dainty designs in perfect taste from 3s/lld. Ready to wear hats in all varieties from Is/lld and children’s hats also from ls/1 Id. Offer will appeal to mothers who like to see their girls well dressed. Mourning orders will receive prompt attention.” • A “Grand Bazaar” being held at the
Low Moor Newsroom and Cricket Club would be opened by the vicar of Low Moor, the Rev. John W. Pickup at 2 p.m. on Saturday. There would be both ladies’ and children’s stalls, China and flower displays, and an eagerly anticipated con-

and up-to-the-minute breaking news and views, traditionally the proud and private domain of the corridors of power. Never before have we, the public, had such fan tastic opportunities to have our say and to keep informed. Blasting away frontiers and barriers,
social networking has opened up channels of communication to an amazing degree. I am now in regular contact with old school friends, past acquaintances, lost friends and treasured family members thanks to Facebook. I’m able to see my friends’ chil dren develop and grow and share pictures and updates with people all over the world. Of course what comes with this is room for abuse of such wonderful opportunities, but surely it is up to us as individuals to
safeguard the information we share and think responsibly in the way we integrate
, these fantastic communication tools into i our day-to-day lives? As usual, the critics would be applying the “nanny state” rules which claim none of us are capable of
. policing our own communications and in turn, keeping ourselves safe from unwant ed correspondence and possible misuse of the information we’re publishing. I heartily disagree with the critics who
bemoan the retirement of pen and paper when it comes to day-to-day correspond ence. This technological age affords us so many more opportunities to be in touch and therefore, we’re using them. Would I have taken the time to send a picture of my daughter’s first steps througli the post to my cousin in London? I’m a/shamed to say, probably not. Would I have written a short note to tell my mum I’m thinkin® of her just in that second as 1 caught the scent o f her perfume walking down the street? It’s highly unlikely. Let’s embrace the wonderful facilities
that this new era of technology offers us eveiy day, whilst taking personal responsi bility for the way that we use it.
CHEERS!- Rowland Brewery’s Sawley Tempted was the guest ale in the Strangers’ Bar in the House of Commons. Richard Baker, owner of Row
land Brewery, enjoyed a pint along with Ribble Valley MP and Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons Nigel Evans, and was able to entice other MPs to sample a pint or two! Mr Evans said: “I was so pleased
that we were able to get Sawley Tempted as a guest ale in the Stran gers’ Bar.
“It is a fantastic example of real
ale and a very enjoyable pint! It was even better that Richard was able to come and sample it here as well as bringing it to the attention of a wider audience! “Bowland Brewery has done fan
tastically well since it began and I am proud that such a good beer, brewed in the Ribble Valley, has graced the House of Commons.”

things, from the moment we wake until the moment we go to bed. If we are sensible we try our best to look after our physical and mental wellbeing. But what about our spiritual wellbeing? Where is the meaning in our lives? When do we stop the busi ness and take time out to sit still in silence

At the moment we are in the middle of
the season of Lent; the time when Jesus, at the very beginning of his ministry, went away into the wilderness to spend time alone; to reflect and pray and confront those things that that could have taken meaning from his life which are personi fied in the Gospels by the devil and de scribed as the temptations: ■ For many Christians Lent is also a time
of contemplation and reflection. It is a time for trying to turn away from-
the things that do not involve loving and caring for one another and creation; the things that are not of God; the things that take meaning away from our lives. By dedicating a little time each day this: prayerful reflection can bring spiritual re-: newal and meaning not just our own lives but to the communities we live in. »

AN April Fool hoax to blow up Clithe- roe Castle misfired. Both Ribble Valley Borough Council and the steering com mittee were hoping that the elaborate stunt, involving TV Steeplejack Fred Dibnah, would come off. Unfortunately the plot, designed to boost publicity for the castle’s 800th birthday, fell at the last hurdle due to the TV company deciding that the filming schedules could not be synchronised. . • In the recruitment section of the
Clitheroe Advertiser were vacancies for: a restaurant manager for the Thorney- holme Country House Hotel, a physi otherapy aide for Brockhall hospital and a clerk/typist for Dawson’s Ironmongers. A more unusual and direct advertise ment read: “Wanted: 66 fat people. Phone Pat (tel. number supplied)”

LOCAL employer 3M Glitheroe snapped to it when Edisford Primary School asked if they could help the pupils learn about photography. The company, which makes valves
and component'for asthma inhalers at its Upbrooks site, donated a £180 dig ital camera. Deputy headteacher David Edmondson explained: “We have some young photographers here at the school who are very keen to learn more about the subject and having a new camera to ■
work with is a great boost for them.” Kerry Walton, admin supervisor at
the Upbrooks site, said the company Khd been pleased to help foster the pupils’ budding interest. “We hope they willi enjoy taking pictures and that it also en courages them to learn more about the science behind photography at the same time,” she added.

THIS month’s Clitheroe Library Relay Reader competition winner is Lucy Col- linson,»who reviewed Philip Pullman’s . “Four Tales”.
,. Lucy explains why she liked the book:
“There are four tales to read and each one has a lessqg that you should learn.” A Year 1 pupil at St Michael and St
John’s in Clitheroe, Lucy is an avid reader whose favourite author is Roald Dahl. Philip Pullman^is another favourite and his characters appeal to Lucy and she de scribes her favourite in this book: “Lila is the best as she is very brave and like a little hero. “She. he'lps every good person like a grown up and treats everyone equally. My favourite part of the book is where Lila visits the fire fiend and takes three gifts. She then goes back to rescue her father, the fire work maker.”
Is this the fastest story ever told?
“THE Bible in Five Minutes” was a lively performance given as part of a Lent talk at StonyhurstCollege: ■
; Stonyhurst’s own Head of Drama, Johan
na Egar, was the latest speaker in the col lege’s series of Lenten Talks. She described her “journey? of faith as a Christian and its impact on her vocation as a teacher. ‘ : Johanna also enlisted the help of some
- of her students, who acted and mimed their way through all of the Bible’s key events and characters at breakneck speed, leaving the ; audience dazzled, informed and amused! .:
