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.
