Some reports were rather meagre and late in being submitted, especially ‘reports of Tweedsmuir books. It would seem that this project should either be given more extensive leadership or should not be stressed as a proj- ect for each year, In many cases the interested people in a community have done their his~ toryâ€"writing and the committees are at a loss to know how to stimulate the others. Followâ€" ing a suggestion by a member from south Huron that a Tweedsmuir History work shop be set up. the Provincial Convener did just that. and conveners of Historical Research and Current Events from the district attended a one-day work shop. Since then Mrs. Walker has conducted sex!» oral work shops in various districts. Those were all day studies on compiling and as- sembling local material for the history book and proved most informative and interesting. They should form a basis for more uniformity in these books. Branches that have not done so are asked to register their Tweedsmuir History with the National Library of Canada. The Archives are most interested in knowing of these Histories and their content. Area convener reports showed a much more varied historical programme covered through- out the Province. Many of the roll calls. motâ€" toes, papers and demonstrations were quite different from thOse reported during either of the two previous years. There seems to be greater interest in a search for newer and difâ€" ferent methods of portraying the past events of our various communities. Papers given included the inspiration and writing of The Maple Leaf Forever, Old-time markets and supermarkets of today. Ceylonâ€" its historical background, people, religion. customs and growth of the Women's Institute there. A nightshirt parade, with some dating back to 1870, was the highlight of one meeting. Many displays of other generations were shown at meetings including dolls, some a hundred years old; old remedies and recipes. A living room of fifty years ago was the setting for a 50th anniversary. Interesting debates were also held in some branches, some of them being: Resolved that people were healthier 75 years ago than now. that wives are happier today than their grandâ€" mothers, that modern woman is of more help to her husband than her grandmother was, and that young people of 40 years ago were more content than they are today. In reading the area reports it is thrilling to see so many more debates, more public speaking contests among members as well as school children. more interesting Grandmother programmes. Tweedsmuir History teas. and the varied bus trips and tours of historical landmarks, Mrs. Walker suggested that all branches WINTER 1958 that have not already done so. give their Convener of Historical Research a member- ship in the local Historical Society. The Board decided to appoint Mrs. Walker as Tweedsmuir History Curator. It is expected that through this appointment the Histories entered in the Provincial Tweedsmuir History Competition in 1959 will be very much im- proved in material and construction.
