BY JABEZ RANDS
(As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial next year,
Jaime Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly column on the
history of the town.)
Do you remember when the first Doherty Organ Factory
was operating in Clinton?
In 1875, Mr. William Doherty started to make organs in a
room upstairs over what is now one of Ball and Mutch's
Furniture Stores, He employed one man.
The next year, 1876, he built a small 1 1/2 storey hand
shop with eight employees. This shop was located on the
west side of Raglan Street about half-way between Batten-
bury Street and Princess Street.
Business was carried on in this shop for three years, while
they had their machine work done at McCartney Thompsons
and Scott's Planning Mill.
In 1879, Mr. Doherty had a larger shop built a short
distance north of the hand shop on Raglan Street. It had a
boiler• room, an, engine room, a dry kiln, and a 25 hor-
sepower steam engine with machinery to do their own
machine work. With the new shop, they could turn out about
100 organs a month.
By 1884,, they hacl afvery much larger three storey building
constructed a bit further north of the first two buildings on
Raglan Street, at the corner of Princess Street, There were
40 employed and they turned out between '200 and 300
organs a month.
The boiler was heated by burning cord wood and shavings,
and thusly, there was always a large pile of cord wood in the
yard behind the small shop.
The lighting used in the factory was, for the most part,
derived from coal oil lamps with the oil storage tank kept in
a small building as far away as possible from the three
shops.
In 1891, the office and part of the factory were lit by in-
candescent electric lamps. The power was furnished by a
dynamo manufactured by Mr, H.B, Chant,
These were the first incandescent electric lights in Clinton.
The local Clinton Electric Light Company did not install in-
candescent lights until the following year, 1892.
In the summer of 1897, the factory was remodeled and the
large three storey building was rebuilt to a four storey
building with everything up to date. It was said to be the
best looking building in Huron County.
On February 1st, 1898, the whole complex burned to the
ground including Mr. Doherty's home, which faced Batten-
bury Street on the same property.
This is a very brief story of the early home of the world-
renowned Doherty Organ, made in Clinton, Ontario.

Sunday shopping, a shortage
f Nursing Homes, and
9r$an$Zed sports on Sunday,
were topics of resolutions
passed by Huron-Perth
Presbytery at a recent meeting
in Main St. United Church,
Mitchell.
The Church In Society Com-
mittee, convened by Rev, John
Davies of Parkview United.
Church, Stratford, drafted the
resolutions which Presbytery
then adopted, The resolution
on Strnday Observance arose
ue to the increase in the num,-
r of supermarkets and other
etail outlets that are violating
he "Lord's Day Act," Mem-
rs thus "reaffirmed their
l ief in Sunday as a common
ay of rest, and support
egislation that, would im-
lement a more restricted Sun-
ay", as outlined in Option
umber one of the Ontario Law
eform Commission. Such
egislation would be more
ecular than religious, be
niform across the Province
nd would prohibit all forms of
eiling and employment on
unday, except in certain
early defined situations.
embers were asked to take
his resolution back to their
ocal congregations and have
hem urge the Provincial
overnment to enact such"
egislation.
Organized sports, and in par-
icular hockey leagues, prac-
ises and tournaments, are
ore and more conflicting with
he Sunday activities of
hurch. All congregations were
hus urged to "exercise their in-
luence in limiting the
romotion of (organized sports)
n their communities on Sun-
ay mornings where at all prac-
ical, and to accept their
esponsibility for involving
heir children in worship and
hristian Education, and other
reas of the churches' Life".
The Committee also noted
hat there is a serious shortage
f nursing home accom-
odation in Huron and Perth
ounties,-, for chronic patients
nd senior citizens. A Task
orce will be set up to study
eeds in this area and report at
he next meeting in April.
Rev, Doug, Warren, -.• of
rediton, the, _:Chairman ,
pened the daylong meeting-by
ntroducing a new venture in
orship conducted by Rev. Rae
Grant of Listowel. Members
viewed portions of the film, To
Sir With' Love, starring Sidney
Portier. Following this, they
discussed how to bridge com-
munication gaps among people.
The bridging of geographical
gaps was realized as Rev.
Warren in beginning the

Roll Call was answered by 13
members and three new mem-
bers were welcomed, making a
total of 16 present. Birthday
money was given by Mrs.
Brown and Mavis Bailey and
Mrs, Anita Kiss turned in her
who were guests for the day.
The visiting clergy were,
Aylmer Smith, Murray Camp-
bell, Clifford Park and Lloyd
Stapleton.
The new London Conference
Personnel Officer, Rev. August
Meacham was present and
spoke briefly about his
"ministry to Ministers", in
south-western Ontario, He
noted that he had been spen-
ding a lot of time in Huron-
Perth, having called on most
United Church clergy. He then
answered questions raised on:
the settlement of Ministers,
confidentiality, how inflation
affects retired clergy, and the
charismatic movement.
In other business it was lear-
ned that Mr. Murdock
Morrison, Lay Supply at Varna
for 13 years, Mr. Alfred Fry,
Lay Supply at Auburn for 6
years, and Rev, George Sach,
Minister in Gorrie for 7 years,
would be retiring at the end of
June this year. Mr. Morrison
has built his own home in
Varna and will retire there.
Rev. Sach, a former Moravian
Missionary in Labrador expects
to retire in London.
It seems as if the Church too
is suffering from inflation. Rev.
Don Deas of Mitchell, Steward-
ship Division Chairman,
revealed this in releasing the
final totals for contributions to
the Mission And Service Fund
of the United Church in 1973.
He praised congregations for
passing the National objective
of $11,500,000. But he also said
that even though this was a 6
per cent increase over last year,
inflation gave a net loss of 3,8.1
per cent, Total amount given by
Charges in Presbytery to the
Fund in 1973 wes $272,272.
(Inked Church Ministers
were promised some financial
help in the battle against in.-
flation when it was, announced
that General' Council has
recommended at least an 11
per cent increase for 1975
minimum salaries. The
minimum base for 1974 is
$6300, In 1975 it will be $7,000
reported the secretary, Rev,
Derwyn Docken of Walton.
Rev. Ray Lindsay of
Monkton, the Audio-Visual
Convener, was pleased to
report that the Resource Centre
in Main St. United Church,
Mitchell, is being used by many
Churches. The Centre has a
supply of film-strips, tapes, and
printed resources that United
Churches in the Presbytery may
borrow free of charge, Rev. Lin-
dsay urged more congregations
to use this material.
A number of local people will
be representing our area at the
United Church's highest Court,
General Council, when it meets
in Guelph,' August 18 to 24.
Elected as delegates were Rev.
Doug Warren of Crediton and
Mr. Joe Snider , of Goderich.

They also decided to order
some devotional Hymn Books.
Mrs. Bernedette Strain
suggested that the women hire
a bus to go 'to the Pat Boone
Show in London on the 27th of
April.
Mrs. Lyn Mullalby then gave
a very interesting demon-
stration, on Vanda Beauty
Counseling. Penny Philips
presented Lyn with a small gift
of appreciation when she was
finished. A lively Dutch Auc-
tion followed and they closed
with the Mizpah Benediction
