The request for this appoint- ment to be made by the Dean of the Huron-Perth Deanery was Made by Howard Shantz of Stratford last Monday night. The priest would be eligible to be present at all meetings of the board but would not be per- mitted to vote. Mr. Shantz stated that since it is a separate school board and that the only reason for its existence 'is the catholic religion, then a'priest should be in attendance at all meetings and could serve as a resource person in, matters pertaining to the Catholic faith. Not, all of the trustees ap- provedof the idea. Joseph Looby of Dublin said that "if a priest wants my seat on the board then let him run for it' (at the next election)". The board will ask the ministry of transportation and communications and the Town- ship of Hibbert to have the road in front of St. Patrick's Separate School, Dublin, marked' 30-mile per hour zone speed limit. It is a 45-mile zone at the present time. They want cross-walks across the road which is the main, street of Dublin and a county road as well. "We Want the children protected." Joseph Looby said. Donald Crowley of Gadshill, chairman 'of the transportation . committee, questioned if the local council would want to change' the 45-mile zone because with it cars must stop. when the school bus is loading or unloading pupils. The separate school bus does not unload•on. the main street but ,the Hiaron County board of -education -bus does. "We would have protection for our children" ' Mr. Crowley said, 1974.• She was 80„.

The railway is no longer there. (photo by Jabez Rands) was discovered in the second floor of the large shop and before it was extinguished, a large part of the upper story and part 'of the roof was burned badly, A large number of finished and nearly finished organs and organ cases also were lost. The downstairs section of this large shop was only damaged by water.. At this time, there were 180 employees on the payroll. In a little over three years, this same Wilding was on fire again. On Wednesday February 15th, 1905 at 5:30 a,m, this large shop was on fire all over when it was first noticed, and out of control. The building could not be saved. It looked like the work of a fire bug. The building by this time was known as machinery hall and finishing rooms. It was filled with very up-to-date machinery for the manufacturing of organs. By now, they were 'manufacturing pianos but they had only two pianos in this building that were lost. The inside of this large shop, was completely burned out, but they managed to save th4 engine room which is connected to this building on the north side. There was, so much snow that they could not get the fire engine down to the factory, but the factory's own fire pump was in action and, it saved the engine room and the tramway between the two buildings. Since the wind was in the north, the small shop did not get damaged. The shop was rebuilt as soon as possible and put back into production again and they continued to build pianos as well as the organs. They became involved in the piano business and by 1910 were building the Doherty Piano, which was making a very good name for itself all over the. country. qiii.V0digeas•era'J.T. Sherlock and W,N.'Manaiog (former employees) purchased the busmeas and carried .it on until 1930 when the name Wm. Doherty and Co. was discontinued and a 'limited stock company was formed under the name Sherlock Manning Pianos Limited. Mr. Sherlock died in 1931 and Mr. Manning died in 1935. Shortly after this, in 1931 a new company was formed with' Addison A Pegg as president and Caryl W. Draper as vice-president. Mr, Draper and Mr. Addison purchased the assets of Sherlock Manning Pianos Limited and took over operation on July 1st, 1936. At this time, the piano business was pretty low and the Company did not have much business, but the new firm, worked hard at keeping the old factory running and they also started to make a mini piano which caught on very well. By 1938, they were turning out 1,000 pianos a year. They were the first company in Canada to start making the small- sized piano.. In 1967, Mr. Heintzman took over the controlling interest in the company and they are still turning out a 1,000 pianos a year. CLINTON.

STRAIN 482.7041 SUNDAY, JULY 7, 1974 10:00 Sunday School For all ages_, • 11:00 a.m, Worship Service and NOreal-Y, • BY JAIME RANDS (As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial celebrations, Jabez Rands is writing a weekly column on the history of the lawn.) Do you remember when the present Sherlock Manning Piano Factory was built? In the year 1898 on the first day of February, the old • Doherty Organ Factory on Raglan Street was completely, destroyed by fire. Right away, there was excitement about getting it rebuilt. Even the morning after the fire, the Town Council had a meeting to discuss ways of helping to get it started again. Very shortly, W. Doherty and Company started to plan a new building. It was decided to build on the present site, about twenty and a half acres of land, part of lot 42 Tucker- smith Township, on the east side of East Street and on the north side of Irwin Street. This piece of land was purchased from Henry Ransford by the W. Doherty and Company. The present complex of buildings was put up' and in operation in record time, take a look at the buildings and• note their size, then look,how few• days it took to build them. Sam Cooper had the contract. On Tuesday March 29, 1898 the ground was broken to start building the new Organ Fac- tory. On April 14 a large gang of brick layers,started to work. By May 12, 1898, the brickwork for the two main buildings was up and the brick layers were working on the boiler room and the brick chimney. r•On -yaa 26; 1898, Mr; Cooper completed his work in con- nection with the new Doherty factory. After making allowance for wet weather, there was about 30 full .working days occupied in getting the buildings up, The machinery Was arriving and 'some of it was already in position. The brick chimney, which' is nearly 100, feet high, required nearly 60,000 bricks for its completion. By June 11,•1898, steam was got up in the new factory and turned into, the dry kilns, and in the next week, some of the machinery .was put into operation. On August 10, 1898 the first carload of organs from the new factory was shipped out and on the 12, .the second carload was shipped out. When the Toronto exhibition star- ted, Doherty had a full line of organs on display. By the early part of November, 1898, the factory was star- ting to run overtime, and they were taking on new employees every day. Now with the new and much larger factory, they still did not seem to have enough room. The last day or so of November, the factory received an or- der from an English firm that consisted of no less than 397 organs. For the month of November 1898 there was 170 enci- ployees on the payroll. In 1899, they installed the railway siding into the factory. On this siding they could get coal and lumber right into their yard and ship organs right from their 'shop door. For 1899, the amount paid out in wages at the Organ Fac- tory was $50,250 a nice amount to be spent among Clinton merchants. During the year 1900, Doherty and Company bought the saw mill from Fair's Flour Mill and set it up on the northeast part of their property. They were going to do custom sawing as well as sawing for their-own use.
