Rally round for Usborne tour
,tial USBORNE -
Automobiles
have played an
important role
in Usborne's de -
'SO YEAR velopment. On
the one hand,
they widened the residents' area of
work and play while at the same
time, necessitating changes as in
road improvements, marketing dis-
tances, and fewer horses.
One model in particular stands
out in Usbome's history: the Rus-
sell Car.
Thomas Alexander Russell, for
whom the car was named, was
raised on the farm at the corner of
Con. 5 and Hwy. 83. After gradua-
tion from U. of T. .in 1899, he
worked with the Canadian Manu-
facturers Association, during which
time fie established the magazine
1e42
1992
Industrial Canada. In 1903, Russell
was hired as manager ofthaw-Cana-
da Cycle and Motor Co. (CCM)
which had recently amalgamated a
number of small Canadian bicycle
manufacturing companies.
After some experimentation at
this plant with the Locomobile, an
electric car, and some American -
built vehicles, the truly Canadian
Russell Model A was born.
In the next several years, produc-
tion expanded but with the out-
break of World War 1, "Tommy"
was forced to convert the factory
lines to the manufacture of muni-
tions for the Allies.
One of the more pleasant uses of
these early motor cars was to enjoy
a leisurely Sunday afternoon drive.
What better way to relive those
days gone by than to participate in
Usbome's Sesquicentennial Car
Rally on Sunday. June 14.
Brunch will be available for pur-
chase at the same time as registra-
tion, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Kirk -
ton -Woodham Community Centre.
The rally will cover points of his-
torical significance as well as
present day structures. Allow ap-
proximately 90 minutes to com-
plete the route.
Button numbers will be drawn as
well as the third early bird Fund-
raising ticket winner. Souvenirs
will also be available.
Prizes will be given for display of
vehicle models from before 1940
right up to present, costumed par-
ticipants, and best "poker" hand re-
ceived en route.
Whatever your model, consider
spending this Sunday afternoon en-
joying the scenery in Usborne
Township.
