Church commences TV ministry
First Baptist Church of Clinton will
become the second organization to take ad-
vantage of the facilities of .Channel 12
(Cable):
The local cable operation reaches 2500
TV sets in Clinton, Goderich and
Holmesville. "The Vital Word" will be a
one hour program produced entirely by
Clinton residents. The initial format in-
cludes gospel music and a panel discussion
designed to stimulate the most unin-
terested mind.
Music on the premiere next Wednesday
Jan. 30th at 8 p.m. will be provided , by
tenor Ted Ramsey who travelled with
Canada's "Galileans" and the "Watchmen
Quartette" for almost nine years making
Clinton his home.
Mike Taylor of Vanastra will be in
charge of technical production and Photo
Art Services of Clinton have provided the,
art work for the set.
A unique feature of "The Vital Word"
will be communion via T.V. the first Wed-
nesday of each month. This sacrament will
be given to any wishing to partake regar-
dless of denominations and should be of
benefit to those whose health or age
preVents them from attending communion
at their own church, A full explanation of
how this service will work will be provided
on the initial program. •
Pastor Dwight Strain says if enough in-
terest is .shown, the station's "hot line"
facilities may be used to discuss vital social
or religious questions.
Do you remember?
BY JABEZ RANDS
(As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial next year,
jahez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly column about
the history of Clinton.)
Do you remember when Clinton had a steam fire engine?
In the year 1878, the Town of Clinton bought a J.D.
Ronald steam fire engine from their 'works in Chatham.
Spi:,tiy,after this, the villege, of Brussels offered the Ronald
Patiya,.sti:blidy of $290 to establish., works in the .
vil lage snit the cOninaliPttook the village, up on, it and
festablished there,
This engine gave very good satisfaction as was noted in
„:141.1e firemen's report after a bad fire on Main Street in 1881.
"We had three streams of water playing on the fire in ten
minutes after the alarm sounded," they reported.
This meant that the fire under the boiler in the engine had
to be hot and get' steam up to run the engine in the short
time of ten minutes.
This steam fire engine was not needed after the water-
works system was put in operation in 1910, but the engine
stayed in town for some time.
When the town sold it, Mr, Albert Seeley was the, buyer
.and I remember the Public Utilities using it to pump water
out of a hole dug at the bank of Montreal corner to repair a
water main in the late 1920's. This engine, I believe, was
sold back to Brussels by Mr. Seeley a few years later.
There was a set price at the time this engine was in use for
the first team of horses to be at the fire hall and hitched to
the fire engine aftei the alarm sounded.
(In last week's column, it was, a barber shop in the Town
Hall not a butcher shop),
