The London Area Tweedsmuir Workshop was held Tuesday, Aug. 5 at Auburn. Mabel Jacklin, president of Huron West District welcomed all those in attendance. Bessie Thompson, London Area co­ ordinator also welcomed everyone and thanked Huron West District for hosting the event. The roll call was for each District to bring an old reader from elementary school days, tell about it and read from it. The first speaker was Rev. Jeff Hawkins, minister of the Gome- Wroxeter charge of the United Church, who came in wearing top hat and tails. He explained how easy it is to get to the archives of the United Church in Toronto which are open from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Monday to Thursday. Church records belong to the denomination and should be sent to Toronto when books are full. This is also true for annual reports and bulletins. Keep track of special anniversaries and events. If anyone wants pictures of former ministers, they are in the archives. Some of the material has been put on microfilm and can be borrowed on Inter-Library Loan through the local public library.

It was well received and the students were surprised to know that the soldiers fighting in that war were often the same age as children in high school. Each and every soldier’s family who died in action, in the First World War would have received a memorial cross or memorial plaque and the soldier was buried overseas. She handed out a copy of instructions showing how to look up a relative who served in the First World War at the National Archives.
