When Cars were (king?) making By Bob Murray An entourage of virtually silent- running, steam-powered vehicles comprising "'Ontario Steam Tour '82"' paid a short visit to Ste. Marie among Tuesday afternoon, as tour of central the Hurons, part of a 71-mile Simcoe County. This year's tour was arranged and is being co-ordinated by Simcoe East MPP Gord Smith of Twenty-seven vehicles of which 24 steal ! ) are "Stanley Steamers" Orillia for the five-day tour and are are based in throughout Simcoe County. The vintage vehicles, built during the period from 1900 to 1918, were brought in by their owners from all over North America in- cluding Wyoming, Ohio and New Jersey for the tour. Not being the most economical vehicle in the world, a mileage estimate given by one owner from Ohio was in the range of seven miles per gallon of kerosene. The spectacular sight drew large crowds of onlookers as they arrived one by one and were parked for public viewing in a cordoned-off area of the Ste. Marie parking lot. Shiny. brass headlamps and gleaming wood trim along with im- maculate pin-striped paint jobs reflected the magnificent restoration work involved in bringing back to life an all but forgotten era of automotive history. Kettle's Beach Ratepayers Association Corrie Hamelin, secretary of the Kettle's Beach Ratepayer's Association, thanked Tiny Township coun- cillors for "their con- tinued interest in, and concern for, the people of our area," in a letter addressed to Guy Maurice, administrator. "We especially ap- preciate the con- siderable expense of the Awenda Park road study, undertaken by you, regarding our transportation probl- tinued. "We are aware that a good deal of effort is required on the part of the Township Roads Department, in order to keep our road through the Park in fair con- dition. Please convey our appreciation to the personnel concerned."' The beach association stated they had one outstanding request, for reduced speed limit signs on the road. "Non- resident traffic, driving at speeds well beyond 50 km., is creating a dangerous situation for our residents, especially our children,"' the letter Said. Council was informed that the requested speed limit signs have been | placed on the road.
