This material should be saved and will make a most interesting scrap book. En- courage the school children to make Canadian Centennial scrap books. There are so many interesting historical items which are not iri- cluded in our text books. “A few suggestions were received for Cen- tennial projects. These were: Mark an historic site. Restore an old building (if it has historical significance). Establish a scholarship. Plan for a community park. List antiques in your comâ€" munity in preparation for displays.” Mrs. Mack especially requested that Instiâ€" tutes that have sponsored or assisted with local museums report to her so that the information could be kept in the provincial files. The Work of Curators Mrs. R. C. Walker, Curator of the Pro- vincial Tweedsmuir History made this encourâ€" aging statement: “We have been notified by the Department of Education that the material in our Tweedsâ€" muir Histories is to be considered authentic local history and to be suggested for use by the teachers in teaching such local history. Therefore. you can see the importance of this work and its status in educational fields. It is justly worthy of the support of every Institute member and needs to be promoted at all times by the Executives and Provincial Board." Mrs. Walker continued: “The first and main task before our or- ganization is to appoint Curators of the Tweedsmuir Histories. Earlier the Branches were notified of this change, when Tweedsâ€" muir Histories were separated from the Con- , venership of Historical Research. Each Branch has been asked to appoint a Curator. “If the Tweedsmuir History has been under the supervision of the Historical Research Convener, and she is willing, able and capable of assuming the Curatorship. the Branch may appoint her to carry the dual Curator and Convenership until her term as Historical Re. search Convener is up at the next Bramh Annual Meeting. She would then be appointed as Curator and someone eISe elected as Cm- vener of Historical Research and Current Events. “At the District Annuals in 1962 the B0; Directors were asked to have a Distr Curator appointed. At the Area Conventit this past fall, Area Curators of Tweedsm Histories were also elected. “Will each Curator at each level of (_ r organization please send her name, addri Branch, District and Area to Miss Helen ll .
