Northumberiand West Editor’s Notebook: Ideas Wanted As you know, the newsletter has printed a general interest article and a prolile ol 3 WI member lrom one of the four regions in each of the four different issues - the Northern region in the Spring issue. the Western region in the Sum- mer issue, the Southern region in the Fall issue. and the Eastern region in the Winter issue. At the Home a Country content planning meet- ing held in April, the Editorial Committee decided that these two articles could be combined. In other words. the general interest articles would only feature Women‘s Institute members. Cleg- horns' Clydesdales in this issue is a good example. In the Fall issue a member from the Southern region whose business is hydroponic lettuce will be featured. The Winter issue will report on a memberlrom Eastern Ontario who grows Christ- mas trees lor a living, If you know of any Women's Institute members whose business or livelihood would make an interesting regional feature article. please let us know.
