Heading the group and por-

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.
Song and story time
The magic tree shown in the background is the setting each morning ground program. Above, a large number of the youngsters are shown
for stories and songs for the younger fry at Hensall's summer play- going through a song with the accompaniment of hand clapping.
Destroyer to visit Goderich
Canada's Armed Forces will play their part this summer as our
country's Centennial celebrations continue. The helicopter destroyer
HMCS Nipigon will visit Goderich from August 8 to August 11. Dur-
ing her stay in the Huron lakeport the ship will be open to the general
public. Canadian Forces photo.
District accidents
OPP Cpl. C. J. Mitchell warn-
ed that the detachment officers
would again be out in full force
over the coming Civic Holiday
weekend to crackdown on speed-
ers and driving infractions.
DO YOU KNOW?
-- That the International Div-
er's flag is red with a white
diagonal stripe, and when dis-
played on a float or boat indic-
ates that divers are underwater
in the area. It serves as a warn-
ing to all boats to keep clear of
the flag by at least 100 yards in
all directions.
- That pleasure craft must
give the right-of-way to sea-
planes in the act of landing or
taking off.
- That "traffic" violations on
waterways could mean fines up to
$100 and that reckless or danger-
ous operation of boats and towed
objects such as water skis, and
operating a boat while ability is
impaired or leaving the scene
of an accident come under a sec-
tion of the Criminal Code, and
Any fool can criticize, con-
demn, and complain... and most
fools do.
