HIS I960 Tweedsmuir History Book Com- petition will he the final one as far as ._ Ontario is concerned. the Provincial Board ided at its recent deliberations. Much thought ' concern has been given the question since Tweedsmuir History Workshops were con- cted across the Province, when it was possible in see the many fine books being compiled from uable data through the generations, and with eful thought and a great deal of effort. Owing to many of the books being written by ‘ d, these were automatically barred from the tional competition by virtue of the F.W.I.C‘. .1 ling; many branches and committees in charge these books felt they could not attain the re- uired high standard nor finance the cost of ex- ensive books. and therefore they were discourâ€" ged in trying to produce a Twecdsmuir History. Many felt, incorrectly. that they had to purâ€" ase commercial covers. which defeated the pur- ose of these books by not letting ingenuity and 1t agination be expressed. Now that competitions are to be discontinued. ) eater emphasis and encouragement should be Iiven to displays of these beautiful and valuable orks at branch. district and area levels.

Our national convencr of United IN'IER 1961 UNESCO Gift T weedsmuir History Competitions By Mrs. R. C. Walker felt too. that if no prize is offered. the compilers of these records will be only too glad to share with others the marvellous contents of the Tweedsmuir Histories throughout the Province. However. we must still have some goals to attain. some of which we list: 1. Compile your book to the very best of the ability of the community. encouraging any talents possible in sketching. composing of the articles. handwriting of various generations: and have complete records through the years. 2. Group subjects. Do not let your Twccds- muir History become a more scrapbook. 3. Start a fresh page with each type and kind of subject. so that additions to each can be added to keep the various parts tip to date at all times. 4. Always be neat; use good pupcr. ink and paste: and remember that pictures are essential. Thcsc Twecdsmuir History Books are ottr Women's Institute contribution to the historical records of the growth and development of our Province. Let them he authentic. interesting and commendable to our people. Let us still strive to have a 'l‘wccdsmuir History Book in each branch throughout Ontario.
