HERE'S STILL ANOTHER EX -
planation of the naming of
"Vinegar Hill" . ., It comes from
Mrs. D. H. (Nerisaa Archer) Mc-
Innes, 204 Cobourg St, Stratford,
formerly of Clinton . . She
says: e *
"IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH
a number of people concerning
the early history of Clinton, more
than one told me that the name
Vinegar Hill, originated from the
tact (or fiction) that in the early
days a certain man (name un-
known) kept a combination Still
and Vinegar Plant and the lel-
ogees were in the habit of carry-
ing their gallon containers up the
hill persumably for vinegar and
thus the expression 'going up the
hill for vinegar' beeeme changed
to 'going up Vinegar Hill'."
The 1950 1950 Huron County Council

Talks To Mother
In Far-off Holland
One of the longest long-
distance phone cells in the
history of Clinton exchange
was made Sunday when Mrs.
Bruce Cann, RR. 5, Clinton,
talked to her mother in
Holland, a distance of about
4,000 miles. The call was
put through at 1,40 p.m, (EST)
here, when It was 7.40 pan,
in Holland. Mrs. Cann spoke
three minutes at a cost of $6
a minute.
Mrs. Cann, who came to
Canada two years 'ago as a
war bride, spoke to her moth-
er, IVIrs. Susan Van der Lei,
and her brother, Leewmalen,
Holland. The call was put
through from the home of
Cpl. and Mrs. Cyril Bertrand,
Clinton, to permit Mrs. Cann
to have a private line. She
said the reception was wand-
erful-just as clear as if talk-
ing to a person only six
miles away.

This le the 24th of a series
of historieal articles on the

from "Historical Atlas of Due -

Lack of Facilities
It is a fact which the splendid
educational institutions of the
present makes it difficult for us
to -day to comprehend that In th
early settlement of the country,
one of the very greatest disad-
vantages under which the pion-
eers laboured was the entire ab-
sence of facilities for the instruc-
tion of their children,
• When the question of keeping
soul and body together had once
been solved by the broadening
of the' little clearing; when the
men, waving over the spot which
required toil• and suffering un- '
speakable to conquer from its
primeval state of nature, and ,
transform into fertile fields smil-
ing with promises of a bountiful'
harvest, told of no more berried -
late want of the bare necessities
of life; when the adjuncts of a
generally improved domestic,
condition began to fill the plaea
of discouragement and want, and ,
their children were growing up !
in ignorance of the moat primi-
tive literary accomplishmenits
which add a grace to the natural ,
intellect; it was then that the '
need of the school, that great;
adjunct of enlightenment which
tall now had been a thing with I
story (cont'd)
i them more ardently to be wished
than seriously hoped for, began
I most gravely to be felt, and the
;means for supplying the want
'most earnestly to be sought,
; Common School Act
' The Legislature too seems early
to have recognized the fact that
upon the completeness and effi c-
iericy of our educational institu-
tions must rest the hope of a
healthy national development and
our country's future greatness;
and as early as 1f116 -long before
a white man, other than the
!early French discoverers and their
more immediate successors, had
set foot within the limits of the
greet 'Huron Tract" -parliament
passed the first Common School
• Act, the general provisions of
which required the election of
three trustees for each township,
whose duties were defined as in -
eluding the hiring of teachers,
selection of books, etc.; but the
great question of means to carry
on the work was left almost en-
tirely to private and individual
enterprise end liberality, till the
year 1841, when the Hon. S. B.
Hareem, brought in a Bill, which
subsequently became law, provid-
ing -for an annual grant of $200,-
000 to the various counties of the
Province in proportion to their
school population, and condition-
al upon the said comities sup-
plementing the said respective
sums by like amounts for simil-
ar Purposes. Shortly afterwards,
