SHARING SUGGESTIONS .By Rosella Clancy Active lifestyles necessitate time-sav- ing measures. A Tweedsmuir To-Do List, with subtitles of “Now” and “By Year End” could organize projected en» tries. This would allow Curators to meet achievable goals without feeling over- whelmed. Many have noted recorded errors, Please consider the inclusion of a page in the front portion of the Tweedsmuir for corrections, including the page number and source of information It would be advisable to acquire a map showing the municipal boundary adjusts merits of 1998 and your community's current road names. Why was a particular street or road name chosen in the selection process? The answer might become inter- esting Tweedsmuir material. One Curator took a photo to give evidence of road names in her neighbourhood. Another Curator has farm histories diâ€" vided and titled as “Century Farms“ and “Our Vanishing Farms." Each volume had an appropriate cover. Pictures are recognized as valuable Tweedsmuir additions, Experiment with subject placement, use your zoom so the subject isn‘t lost and be observant of the background. It is suggested that 200 ASA film speed for 35 mm cameras works well for both indoor and outdoor pictures. Have you considered sponsoring a writ» ing contest? One District encouraged the writing of member profiles in this way. Topics for a “Then and Now" Contest could range from fashions and hobbies to school daysThe winning entries could be featured as a program. while all entries, if typed on acid‘free paper, could become inserts for the Tweedsmuir History. A few Curators have inquired about publishing their Tweedsmuirs. The Janu- ary 1998 issue of Chatelaine stated that How to Write. Print and Sell Your 0er Book by Dan Poynter (Para Publishing) is the best book on the subject. Rosella Clancy is the Tweedsrnuir History Curator for the Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario.
