f: TIZENSHIP AND WORLD AFFAIRS ' Mrs. John Hermansen, Convener Citizenship was well-covered in all reports, but World Afl'airs was lacking in a number of them. A number of Converters reported Branches did not seem to know what to study in this, so I ask you to refer to the “Home and Counâ€" try" Winter 1973, for suggested topics. United Nations and A.C.W.W. were only partly cov- ered and it is suggested more study year. Roll Calls and Mottoes were much imâ€" ed and in co-ordination with the topic of the ting.

Walker1 Curator Unfortunately again we have difficulty in record- ing the true number of Tweedsmuir Histories per Area. District Curators record all Branches as report- ing but neither say how many Branches nor number of Tweedsmuir Histories or Community Record Books. Let‘s hope we may get this clear some day! Another year of working with the Tweedsmurr His- tory Curators across the Province has proved inter- esting. informative and inspirational. These dedicated women. with their committees. are trying to do their best to preserve local community history for posterity. and all are to be highly commended. However, we still have some Branches who apparently are not interested enough in their communities to preserve the stories about it. Our true Canadian apathy still shows up. It is rather discouraging to find so few want to share their Book with the community by having small Tweedsmuir Teas. Alter all this is one sure way of let‘ ting the individual persons. or families. know our hopes, our dreams and our requirements to make these books completely cover our community life and work through the years. Many are closing their present larger volumes. having them microfilmed. then setting up smaller books to carry on the recording. See Page 8 in the reâ€" vised Manttal. This has always been the case i but some still insist they have a “regulation book“. The curator and her committee choose the size and shape most universal and satisfactory for the folk in their community who are or might be working on the Tweedsmuir History. When the 1962 Green Manuals were no longer available. Miss McKercher requested and had printed a newly revised Yellow Manual. There is only one for each Branch. These are given out at the Tweedsmuir History Workshops or being mailed to curators as time permits. Each curator must pass this on to her suc- cessor along with all other material and the Tweeds- muir History Book. We are deeply indebted to Miss McKercher, the 13
