TWEEDSMUIR HISTORIES The provincial Tweedsmuir History Curator, Mrs. R. C. Walker reported that within the l4 areas of Ontario all area curators are enâ€" deavouring to do an excellent work. Of the 113 districts. only 4 have failed to appoint a curator. Branch curators number 1.109 with well over 1.100 histories reported. Some fear their books to be in the scrapbook class and do not report. However. Mrs. Walker stated that if anyone is keeping and collecting his- tory, whether it consists of news clippings or is a detailed typed community history, it should be recognized as a Tweedsmuir History. Im- provements can always be made as years go on. Please report, if you have not done so, Six workshops for branch curators and one for district curators of an area were conducted during the year. The curators are asked to use their manuals as a guide and their own initia- tive and imagination for individuality. Also, the size of the book is left to the discretion of the curator and committee. The typewriter to be used determines the size of the bond paper purchased. and nonâ€"commercial covers can make your Tweedsmuir Book distinctive. Parts of the Tweedsmuir books are being published by branches and they are finding a ready sale. Also, teas at branch and district level are numerous and prove profitable. Mrs. Walker made this clarification as to the difference between branch and district Tweedsmuir histories: The branch history is a complete record of the birth. growth and deâ€" velopment of any given community as a whole. The district history is only of the district Wom- en's Institute activities and achievements with a condensed history of the past and present branches of that district. There is no possible eyerlappingf Mr. Walker is also the F.W.I.O. representa- tive to the Ontario Genealogical Society and a member in her own right. She was chosen a director to represent Ontario as a whole. One of the duties of this directorate is to endeavour to direct inquiries of family connections to the proper district or community. She assisted in the planning of a seminar at the University of Waterloo on compiling family histories. 120 registered and many Women’s Institute repreâ€" sentatives were present. It is reported that with the opening of the Conrad Grabel Col- lege at the University, a vault type library room was built for the use of the Society to keep historical booklets and genealogies safe. 10 * * * SMALL GENTLEMEN PREFER MOM: By Susie Lee Cummings You single me from any crowd For your most ardent glances; Your preference for me, rudely loud.
