The return of The White Rosettes Val CooperwithhusbandGaryatthestartofheryear o f office


Val Cooper says that without the charity’s support, she and her husband Gary, who have mobility problems, would face an uncertain future and theprospectofhavingto move from their home of more than loyears.TheRedCross helped them to approach a housing association to request an ac­ cessible shower, which was installedjust two weeks later. Val said: “We cannot thank


the Red Cross enough for its help with this and for the in­ formation about the support that is available.”


The Coopers were so im­


pressed that Val, as former president and current sec­ retary at the Pendle Club in Lowergate, has arranged for the Red Cross to hold regular drop-in sessions for carers there to provide information on respite care choices, sup­ port to get people out and about to meet new people, take exercise classes and en­


joy days out. The sessions will be held


fortnightly on Mondays from 10 am - 12 noon beginning next Monday, July 13th. For information about us­


ing the service or volunteer­ ing, contact Lynn Harrison on 01282 694557 / 07894 802808 or RibbleValleyLandRover@ redcross.org.uk

So lately I have become a

and I won’t be doing a citizen’s arrest next "time someone drops a midget gem, but what I askis for people to take pride in where they live or even vis­ it. I’m not sure if we have lost our manners, people don’t see littering as disrespectful oris it that simply there aren't enough bins? Who knows? The fine for littering is


£75, but the problem is I don't think people see it as a crime. Maybe my litter rant is a

25 YEARS AGO More money towards railcards


“ANOTHER £500 HAS been donated towards the cost of railcards for Clitheroe's new train services to Blackburn and Manchester, bringing the total given by Clitheroe’s anonymous benefactor to £2,000. Previous donations through the Advertiser and Times have led to queues forming outside our office, as well as the town's travel agencies, where recently half-price railcards were sold on a first-come, first-


served basis. Now we are arranging fo r afurther offer of £500 worth of railcards for our readers. But the popularity of the railcards and train service


comes at a time when a leading local travel agent wonders if the weekend rail services from Clitheroe are 'too much trouble for British Rail.'"

just cannot help enjoying life. On the other hand, one of the invariable indications of a false religion is a pervading gloom. The trouble with Jesus during His time on earth was that He wasn’t miserable enough I High on the list of thosejoys in which theChristiandelights is the incomparable blessing of Sunday. The Christian’s Sun­ day is as different from the gloom and repression which the word spells out in some minds as a wedding is from a funeral. That is not surprising,


since the first day of the week is, for the Christian, a regular celebration of the resurrec­ tion of Our Lord. But why does a Christian en­


joy Sunday so much? Firstly because it is a different day. There is everything to be said for keeping one day in seven different from the rest. For the Christian, Sunday is a day with a difference. It an­ swers a spiritual need in life and makes him look forward with eagerness to a break in the normal routine. Secondly, it is different be­ cause it sets us free for wor­ ship. God has so much to do with oursouls that can only be done if we give Him time. Sun­ day provides that time. The Christian knows no joy like


that which worship gives, he is strengthened by the preach­ ing of God’sWord as he is in no other way. Thirdly, Sunday is different because it gives us opportu­ nity for fellowship. Fellow­ ship is experienced by those who come together to share a common faith, a common pur­ pose and a common joy. The highest kind of fellowship is that which the Christian finds when he meets with those who share his faith, purpose and


joy. There is also the thrill of knowing that on this spe­ cial day, we are joined with a great company of people that no man can number who are yvorshiping and praising God, and as the sun sets over our Western horizon, we have


Hospital rated as ‘one of the best’


East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust has been rated one of the best hospital trusts in England by children, parents and carers. They took part in the first


ever Children and Young Peo­ ple’s Inpatient Survey con­ ducted by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). In the in­ dependent survey, East Lan­ cashire Hospitals NHS Trust performed “better than ex­ pected” in responses to nine of the 24 survey questions and were rated equal to other hospitals in the remaining 15 questions. Commenting on


the survey results, Kevin Mc­ Gee, Chief Executive of ELHT, said: “I want to congratulate all staff involved in the treatment and care of children andyoung people on the excellent survey results which are testament to our aim of providing safe, personal and effective care for patients of all ages. “We are particularly happy


to read that almost every child taking part in the survey said they were happy with their care and had confidence that hospital staff did everything they could to manage their pain.”


THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK


the knowledge that it is wak­ ing others to do the same. Sunday is a gift of God to be en-


joyed. It is a day to be used for worship, recreation and fel­ lowship. It is a day which has many precious associations and liberties. These are to be zealously guarded and cher­ ished. We cannot regard as truly Christian any view of Sunday which does not rest on these general principles. It is hoped that what has been said here may help clarify the thinking of any whose view of the sig­ nificance of Sunday has be­ come clouded by reason of the increased secularism of our present day.
