The Blyth Standard, 1969-05-07, Page 1THE BLYTH STA DARD Volume 80 • No. 43 Blyth Native Could Possibly Be Inventory Of World's First Automobile Readers of the Standard will re member that the April 9th issu carried a letter to ,the edito from Mr, Robert •Collins of Tor onto, who is looking for lnforma tion in regards to an automobil being manufactured in Blyth in the late 1890's. Well, the articl started the "wheels in motion for Ken :McGowan and he has dug up a host of information regard ing the inventor, John B. Kelly who was horn in Blyth In 1850 and passed away in Goderich in 1955. Mr, Kelly's father was Patrick Kelly and his mother Mary 'Walsh. In 1884 he built what he claimed was the list car in the world, It was a steam buggy motivated by steam and chain driven. He drove the car during the summer and (fall of 1884 but dis tied it because people complagE the [machine frightened their horses. At the time he was working in his father's grist mill so he used the steam powered motor to op. crate an elevator In the mill. Ice used the body of the car as a horse drawn delivery buggy for his father. At age 39 she started work at the Goderich P.U.C. and cortin• , ued until his retirement in 1948 at ninety years of age. Even to. wards the end of his life his mind was remarkabley sharp, In the late 1880's and early 1990's Mr. Kelly was the only electrical engineer west of Tor- onto and installed many electric. al systems in small western Ont. arlo towns and villages,. Ken has also' managed to 'came up with an interesting newspaper clipping on the career of the re. markable Mr. Kelly. It follows in !full, for the reading pleasure of our subscribers and also for the benefit of Mr, Collins, VETERAN GODERICII HYDRO CHIEF MADE FIRST AUTO John B. Kelly, 84, keen, alert and, erect, is manager of the Goderich hydro system which in itself is no mean tribute to his ability, Yet it is as nothing to the record Mr. Kelly has piled up in his younger days and, now looks •proudly iback upon from the van- tage point of over four score yens; For Mr, Kelly built the first automobile in the world, no less, 'In 1881 he Installed the first electric light plant in Blyth, his native village, iHe was a high - wheel artist of ,renown whop .the old wheels were nil the vogue, and at one period In his extraor• alinary career he teamed with a professional ice skater by •the name of Potts and was a star per. former at all the major ice car• nivals for a long period, But it was the "world's first automo- bile" which gave him his greatest satisfaction, 'Phe story of this remarkable mean is told in "Hydro Nows," ma. gazine of. the Hydro•Elcctric Pow- er Commission of Ontario, by Herbert 1, Hickey, Let us turn back the pages to 1883 when the versatile Mr, Kelly turned his practical mind to a buggy that should run without •a horse. He had already Installed the• electric light plant at Blyth and he had taken a ,correspondence school course in steam engineering, He. set o work on the model and in the Summer of 1884 (which 3s just two years before there is any: record of an automobile pat• t eat .being taken out) he had it running. In Mr, Kelly's own I words; "It went, I bad it running part of the summer of 1884. But I dismantled it after I found out �roi1►, :tunpopuiir It was. People said It" would never be any good. t "Serving Blyth and Community Since 1885" I3LYTJi, ONTARIO • I felt I had made something that e would never he used, so I did not r apply for a patent." Horses Shied • As told to Mr. hickey, the story e of the inventor follows; "The car became an awful nuisance. Horses jumped over ditches and fences, It did not seem possible that hor• ses would ever be put oill) tbt, road, 13ut my father, a ratan of vision, told me 1 was foolish to abandon the idea. Ile said, "That is the coning vehicle of the world. There is no reason why man can. not fly in the air,' But I said the machine was no good anyway. (low 1 wish now that i had list- ened to my father. "The machine looked very rnuc'h like a buggy, except that it was longer. 1t .had four wheels and used steam and coal oil for fuel. 1 suppose you would call it a steam buggy, It had two seats, although nobody would ever ride with me, and .the steer- ing was done with a lever, I got equipment from different places. I bought a boiler in Hamilton and a secondhand engine at Fer. gus. 1 remembered that the en. gine find been made by •the Doty engine works at Toronto, The four wheels cane from Galt, They ware artillety'wheels` Avithl a metal hub and wooden spokes. The tires were ,made of Iron. You can see why the machine did not need' a horn. • "1 had the •boiler at the back, under the seat, and the engine at the front. The car ran on a .chain •drive to a countershaft. and then 'from the countershaft to a sprocket on each of the two rear wheels, in later years, Bar. ney Oldfield, the famous autotn• ohile speed driver, used the chain principles on his cars. "The car ran all right, but it wasn't safe to take it on the road. I drove it mostly around my fa. ther's mill at Blyth. I didn't have it patented in those days and we didn't bother much about taking ,pictures, The only person in re• cent years who could remember it was a barber in Blyth who died sonic years ago, Paris and Rome' "After I took the car apart, 1 put the (boiler and the engine in the elevator at the mill and turn. ed the (body of it Into a horse rig for delivering flour and feed ar• ound the village. I believe it was about two years later, 1886, that parents were taken out for an au• tomoblie in Paris and in Rome, If I had taken my father's advice and manufactured my machine, I'd• be telling a different "story today," Mr, '(telly's father died in 1894, In 1807 he sold the mill, and at in insistence of Dr, 'Reginald Shannon and Senator Proudfoot, of ,Goderich, took charge of the town's electric light plant, The closing of the old Clinton to Winghanr branch of the Lon- don, Huron and Bruce railway line in April, 1941, was of senti• mental interest to Mr, Kelly, ,His father, (while reeve of Blyth, had fought bard to have the line ,built and the first run was made in December, 1875 — a memo`• able event. Young 'Jack' then 17, made the trip In great glee, He was the only boy aboard. As' a special concession he was permit- ted .to blow the whistle at cros- sings and to throw stove -wood, in o the ,firebox as (the train raced through the bush at 20 miles an tour, That train had a hand brake, Reeves and other officials M1vho made that initial run were all bearded, and benvhiskered. Mr, • Kelly had planned to make. he last run on,.fihe 'branch in • Personal Interest Miss Alelda lick)lroy, Guelph, and Mr. J. J.

It's not that 1 particularly enjoy fighting for lost causes. lost the flag fight, and look at. the rag- we got. I know I can't beat non -disposable bottles, soaring (taxes, and my wife. .But somebody, some voice. in the wilderness of the twentieth century must keep The banners flying, the flame 'burning, That's why I think the CBC should not have cancelled that hardy annual, the Don Messer Show, regardless of those purveyors to the puerility of the public, the "ratings." Personally, 1 wouldn't watch the Don Messer Show with a tra•Toot telescope. 1kS mixture of emaaculatted homiletic* and Ineffable bathos are not my bag. But I know• a great 'rnany middle•aged and older people who look forward to it weekly .and enjoy it thoroughly. Their toes tap to the sprightly fiddling and their eyes grow sued over the senti• mental songs of yesteryear. And what's wrong with that? • It may be corny, but Ws Canadian, right out of the Mari- times. And however bad its ratings are, it couldn't be worse than some of that crud the CAC buys from the States and forces on us, willy.nilly. Most of its fans like it because it's clean and comfortable. The show, to them, is like an old friend with whom they can relax, safe in the knowledge that for half an hour, once a week, they won't. be subjected to the perversion, violence and viciousness that char• acterize a good deal of the other garbage on. the box. .Can you imagine (Charlie Chamberlain kicking someone in the groin, or Don Messer chopping somebody across the throat with a karate blow, or Marg Osburne .wriggling through a double•en'ten• dre (dirty) song Well, maybe. But not on, the show. Every year, the OBC comes up with a few brand new shows. And every year, with the inevitability. of death and taxes, they flop. Can you name. one (there may- be• one, but can you name. it?) that lasts two seasons. But I .doubt it. .This includes the Ihighipriced, wonderboy, Sunday night: sensational, controversial shows, like Se. ven .Days. They're a six4months' flash and then everyone goes back to the Beverly Hillbillies or some. other Cultral importation. In contrast, the Messer show has been running for a decade, it still stands at. a .healthy 22nd. out of 59 series surveyed on the latest Nielsen ratings. That means a • lot of. ,people watch it, It would be interesting to know just' how the ratings are clone, The show appears on a Friday night, at 8,30. Most people under 40 are either getting, ready to - go out, have gone, or are' hay. -ing people in, at that hour on that day. A sampling: in Toronto, where viewers can. get several sta. tions, might show that •two and a half -people were watching Don Messer. Butt. a sampling..from-Rhe .hundreds . of .

MINISTER'S STUDY Commercial interests talk aboutMothers' Day and the church talks about Christian Fancily Day the second Sunday- of Mayl What has Christianity to say about the faintly and the home? It says God made man in his own image, There may be many characteristics we have in common with the animal world. llut we are not merely highly developed animals who happen. to walk on two feet. rather than 'four. We have characteristics which we share with God. Like God, people are created in such a way that they can think, plan, love, 'communicate. 'Our needs are not met merely by supplying our animal needs. When we think of a home then we are not thinking of two animals carrying out their animal functions we are thinking of people made in the image• of God. Again the Christian position is that God in his wisdom made man and woman for companionship. In the wisdom of. God it was not good for man to be alone. The marriage relationship Is the ultimate in companionship. It must take precedence over. other associations, In marriage one ceases to be merely an individual he or she becomes part of an Indivisible partnership. It• involves mutual admiration and respect and a marriage that does not have that is doomed. Also the Christian position is that moral and spiritual training is centred in the home. When we expect the state or the church to accept responsibility for training our children we are evading a duty .fr.ocn which There can he no evasion. If the home fails 10 provide such a heritage and background then the. child goes out into the world morally, and spiritually bankrupt. It is a long time now since the writer of Proverbs declared "Trainup a child in the way he should go and when the is old he will. not de- part e.part from it." M. K.

A. Stewart. The bill is known as the Gen- eral emeral 'Farm Organization Act Which provides for a poll of farmers to find out if they want the new group. it also outlines the means for organizing a founding ('onven• tion. First step is obtaining a peri• tion signed by 15,000 of the prov- inces' rowinces' estimated 100,000 farmers, calling on Mr. Steward to hold a vote. 'Phis petition is now being circulated. On receipt of the petition the Government will conduct a secret ballot of all farmers to determine if they want the new group and to gel opinions on how i1 should be set up. Approval by 60% of the farm- ers voting will be required if the new organization is to be estate fished as outlined in the bill. If the Mariners' vote is succes• sful, the Government will appoint interim management with the power to set up a provisional or- ganization, draw up a provisional constitution and prepare for a first annual convention.
