ORGANIZING YOUR FILES,
PART II: SUBJECT HEADINGS
In the last column about sorting
things (The Rural Voice, November
issue) it was suggested that packrats
need three boxes for file folders, or three
drawers in a file cabinet to begin with.
One is for clipping files about PEOPLE,
one is for clipping files about BUILD-
INGS, and the third is about SUBJECTS
(everything else).
The last column advised how to sort
things for PEOPLE and BUILDINGS.
To sort clippings into files for SUB-
JECTS, you need to have a file heading
that is in three sections (that is, three
parts with dashes between them).
The first word is a general lead-in to
the subject. The second word is always
the name of a place or municipality. The
third word is specific.
If, for example, you have a clipping
about the Brunner Women's Institute,
the triple heading on the file folder
would be: Women's Institute — Perth
County — Brunner Branch. Clippings
about the institute district itself would
be filed under: Women's Institute—
Perth County — Centre Perth District.
If you don't want to keep separate file
folders for all the branches you could
file the news clippings about the
branches of a district together under the
folder for the district. Suit yourself.
When labelling the place or appro-
priate municipality, you may choose to
use the name of a county so that you
cover a wide area. If you want to break
down the subject further you can use the
name of individual townships, or even
villages, etc. Some file folders will fill
up much faster than others. When a file
gets really fat and full, that is the time to
label folders for smaller -sized munici-
palities.
Here are some headings for file fold-
ers about accidents:
Accidents — (place) — Farm
Accidents — (place) — Fires
Accidents — (place) — Industrial
Accidents — (place) — Other
Plowing matches are important to
agriculture. File them under:
Agricultural Associations — (place) —
Plowmen 1988
You may also need files for such
subjects as the activities of all three
levels of government. For example:
Gov't. (Municipal) — (name) —
Council Meetings
Gov't. (Municipal) — (name) —
Garbage
Gov't. (Mun.) — (name) — Planning
Gov't. (Mun.) — (name) — Etc.
Gov't. (Ont.) — (place of event) —
Lotteries
Gov't. (Ont.) — (place of event) —
Courts & Justice
Gov't. (Ont.) — (place of event) — Etc.
Gov't. (Can.) — (place of event) —
Military
Gov't. (Can.) — (place of event) —
Post Office
Gov't. (Can.) — (place of event) —
Etc.
To sort out the various levels of
government one keeps in mind the
source of taxation that supports them.
And so we see that there are three kinds
of police:
Gov't. (Mun.) — (place) — Police
Commission
Gov't. (Ont.) — (place of event) —
OPP
Gov't. (Can.) — (place of event) —
RCMP
Other useful headings are:
Churches — (place) — denomination
Schools — (place) — Elementary
Railways — (place) — (name of
railway)
Music — (place) — (specific)
Museums — (place) — (specific)
Social bodies — (place) — (all
recreational groups)
Social Service Bodies — (place) — (all
support groups in community)
Sports — (place) — (specific)
Senior Citizens — (place) — (group)
Social Protest — (place) — (group)
Social Events — (place) — Parade
Social Events — (place) —
Octoberfest
Accidents — (place) — Prevention
Accidents — (place) — Road
Or, if you are filing information
about calamities, begin with the heading
"Acts of Nature" followed by the place
and these headings: Floods, Rain-
