Heading the group and por- traying Alexander MacKenzie is Grand Bend had some unusual visitors Tuesday, but few rest- dente were on hand to welcome them. The 11 guests arrived at 3:00 am and after a brief three-hour sleep, cooked, their breakfast and Were on their way to Sarnia. Those who did see the visitors probably had to rub their eyes in disbelief, because they were dressed in garb not generally associated with Ontario's most famous beach. The men are the MacKenzie Voyageurs, w ho are now near- ing the end of a canoe trip that will take them over 5,240 miles of Canadian waterways from the B.C. coast to Expo 67 at Mon- treal, The trip Is similar to the one taken by explorer Alexander MacKenzie, although he took some four years to do it. Travelling in a 26-foot canoe, the MacKenzie Voyageurs have been averaging 55 miles per day and one day hit a high of 88 miles, They arrived in Grand Bend after paddling their way from Goderich and had chosen to keep going at night due to the favor- able water conditions and also because a reception was being planned for them in Sarnia Tues- day night. Travelling with the 10 men is Lobo, who serves as lead dog on the team maintained by one of the 10 who is a trapper. They all wear costumes simi- lar to those worn by early ex- plorers and their actual occupa- tions range from general merchant to artist. Two are fairly quiet week was report- ed by Sgt. J. H. Shepherd, com- mander of the opp detachment at Grand Bend._ During the past seven days, 27 requests for assistance were re- ceived and four prisoners were escorted to Sarnia. An even dozen liquor charges were laid by mem- bers of the 25-man force on duty for the summer. As a result of radar operations on highways 21 and 81 in the Grand Bend area 24 speeding charges were laid, Seven traffic accidents were reported. all of minor nature with np injuries in- volved. During the week, officers pa- trolled Lake Huronfor four hours and laid one charge of dangerous boating and issued 12 warnings under "Small Vessels Regula- tions." Each year on Ontario water- ways irresponsible boaters cause general inconvenience and dam- age to property and, in many in- stances, injury or death. The immense task of enforce- ment upon the thousands of miles of waterways is the responsibil- ity of the OPP, and members of its marine section perform a function similar to their com- panions who patrol Ontario's highways. The force fleet of 43 marine units, composed of eight per- manently based radio equipped cruisers and 35 smaller, mobile craft is strategetically located in heavily populated vacation areas to provide maximum ef- fectiveness. In addition to normal patrols and safety checks many hundreds of calls are answered each seas- on, ranging from occurrences such as search and rescue oper- ations, assistance to fire fighters and transporting sick or injured persons, to routine answering of general complaints. A call to the nearest OPP de- tachment will make the force's marine services available, to the public in an emergency, or alter- nate services will be provided. Services are provided as far north as Moosonee on James Bay and as far west as Lake of the Woods. This season the OPP marine section reminds boaters that in our centennial year there have been many additional boating events planned, and there will be many visitors using our water- ways. For these reasons, the marine section urges boat own- ers to operate their craft safely. could result in fines up to $500 and terms of imprisonment. - That most boats built today have 'planing hulls and a hull of this type throws the heaviest wake at 10 to 12 miles per hour. So to eliminate a heavy wake, main- tain planing speed if water and traffic conditions allow, or slow down to five or six miles anhour which eliminates any wake which will endanger or inconvenience other water traffic or shOreline installations. To Expo by water A group of 10 adventurers, mostly from British Columbia are like a lot of Canadians, on the way to Expo, but their mode of travel is a little different. Known as the MacKenzie voyageurs, they are making the trip in a 26 foot canoe. The travellers who expect to arrive in Montreal September 1 spent several hours early Tuesday at Grand Bend on their way to Sarnia.
