Ribblesdale Camera Club’s exhibition in the Stewards Gallery at Clitheroe Castle is now open and garnering many favour­ able comments. It has been organised jointly by Clare Drew, from the club, and Rachel Jackson, from the Museum. Among the many images on the theme of “Ways of Seeing” are pictures which have had recent competition success. The exhibition runs until July 5 th.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK


his week there has been a focus in the news about the ‘problem of immi­ gration’. .


It is a hot political issue


and no one can deny that we are struggling as a country to provide resources for all the people thatinhabitourislands for one reason or another. Of course many of the im­


migrants who come here to work help to provide these resources for everyone. For example 26% of doctors and about 14% of clinical profes­ sionals are foreign nationals and we rely on them for the NHS to exist.. We need immigration for


our country to function. However, there is another


side to the story of immigra­ tion that goes alongside the


by Rev. Michele Jarmany, Clitheroe United Reformed Church


debates about numbers and who we allow in and who we don’t allow in : it is a human story. We have seen and read


about the asylum seekers risk­ ing everything to cross conti­ nents to get on to overcrowded boats and cross the Mediter­ ranean to what they believe is safety. . . Many o f them have


drowned as their overbur­ dened boats have capsized. • These journeys are not


made lightly. They are made because they face persecu­ tion and even death in their


own countries. We have seen the horrors


these people endure on our television screens. This weekl have sat with an


asylum seeker who has noth­ ing only the clothes she stood up in, spoke just a little Eng­ lish and hadjust been placed in a refuge with four other women. But she still smiled and said “I am alive and I am here”. This week I have also sat


and listened to a talk about human trafficking; about un­ scrupulous people who force people into slavery making them work long hours and live in grossly overcrowded conditions, with little food or money, many being forced to work as sex slaves. And this is in East Lancashire on our very doorstep.

“THE FIRST BATCH of wounded arrived at Queen Mary's Military Hospital in Whalley yesterday. Numbering about130, they were conveyed from Manchester and Liverpool by road, many motor cars placed atthe disposal of the 'military authorities by . the local gentlemen being utilised. The men, who all wore blue uniforms, represented practically every regimentinthearmy. Many were severelydamaged and arrived swathed In bandages. Others were more fortunate, but all bore the unmistakable stamp of active service, and the many spectators at the arrival realised something of the horror of war. They saw caraftercararrive,filled with wounded heroes,and gave them all asympathetic reception."


50YEARS AGO Firm’smilestonebirthday


“CLITHEROE SHIRTINGS LTD this year celebrates its hundredth birthday in the happiest of circumstances. From an acorn of a beginning,


the immensely popular local firm is spreading its branches farther and farther on into the schoolwear world, while backin Clitheroe, its rootsare getting


deeper into the ground every day. This brilliant success can be mainly attributed to the family atmosphere and loyalty tothedirectorswhichhas made Trutex the concern that it is. And indeed, in these days of takeover bids, amalgamations and nationalisation, it is pleasant tobepartoffree


enterprise in a family business which is running smoothly."


25 YEARS AGO New rail era


“A JOURNEY OFshame into Clitheroe on Saturday has been averted by determined members of Ribble Valley Rail. Eve ry nightthis week, they have worked desperately against the clock to tidy Clitheroe railway station in time for Saturday morning's first regular passenger train in 28 years to whistle in, heralding the start of a hew rail era in the town. The place was a complete tip' said Ribble Valley Rail chairman Mr Peter Moore.We could foresee people getting off the train and wondering what sort of dump they had come to. These people are visitors, and we want them to come to Clitheroe again.1 Many local people are expected to join rail enthusiasts to watch passengers alight from the 8 o'clock train."

When Jesus was asked


‘who is my neighbour?’, he told the story of the Good Samari­ tan. This story teaches us that everyone is our neighbour and we cannot turn our backs on those in need. What happens to these people i f and when we turn them away? Who will care for them? Who will be their Good Samaritan? It strikes me that the im­


migration debate is a whole lot bigger andmore complex than an argument about numbers. It is about learning to rec­


ognise each other as fellow hu- manbeings. It is about standing up for


the voiceless and ending op­ pression. It is about the whole world


coming together to learn what being a neighbour real­ ly means.
