Recording family folklore for the future

By Bil Keane

WEST LAFAYETTE - Remember how you listened to your grandfather (or grandmother) tell about “When I was a child”? These stories could be some of your most cherished memories as well as a valuable insight into history. “Preserve those memories for your children and their children, by recording a family living history,” suggests Jan Armstrong, Extension consumer marketing specialist at Purdue University. A cassette * tape recorder can capture family folklore for generations to come -in the voices of people who actually lived the events. For recording a family history you will need a cassette recorder, preferably with a built-in microphone. A built-in microphone will record sound

coming from all directions while a separate microphone will tend to emphasize the sound toward which it is pointed. If your recorder is battery powered, be certain the batteries are fully charged. Better still, use household current when possible. (Low power will cause voice distortion.) You will also need a large supply of tapes. Depending upon the size of your family and their willingness to talk, a dozen or so tapes may be needed - at least one per person interviewed. Before you begin to interview, think about what you want to know. Make an outline or list of questions. Ask questions that call for a full answer, not just yes or no, suggests Armstrong. For example, “When and why did our ancestors come to the

United States?” “Why did they settle where they did?” and “How were our relatives involved in the historical events of the day?” For your first interview or so, select family members you are comfortable with - a parent, aunt or uncle, for example. Choose a quiet room in which to conduct the interview, preferably a room with plenty of curtains, rugs or other soft surfaces to absorb sounds. Before you begin the interview, record (1) the names of the interviewer and interviewee, (2) date, (3) time and (4) place the interview is held. After recording this information and before turning on the recorder, you may want to sit and chat with the person you are interviewing for several

minutes. This can help you both relax. If you miss a point or two, you can note them and ask a leading question later in the interview. As you become experienced in interviewing, you may want to add a notepad and stop watch to your equipment. As you start the tape recorder, you can start the stop watch. When your subject makes a particularly interesting point or tells a story, you can note the story and the time. This will help future listeners spot important material in a hurry. As you finish each tape, don’t forget to mark the outside of the tape with the information you recorded on the first part of the tapeStore your living history in a cool, dry place.

BPACE STATION

Makin' things Toys require very few purchases

By ED and STEVIE BALDWIN Here’s a project that our kids have voted their favorite. It rates very high on a parents’ list, too, because our kids have logged many enjoyable hours playing with it. Best of all, it requires few purchased materials. The rocket ships and parts of the space shuttle are made from recycled soft drink bottles. The domes on the space shuttle are cut from the bottoms of plastic soft drink bottles, and the space station has a radar unit made from the top of a plastic bottle. The space station itself is cut from 3/8-inch, plywood. You can vary the size according to the pieces of plywood you may have on hand. THE FIGHTER aircraft is made from scrap 2-by-4 plywood, and its booster rocket is cut from the top of a plastic soft drink bottle. The spaceships are made as follows: Cut the top of the bottle off using a pair of scissors. Fill the bottle with hot water. This will melt the glue holding the label and will soften the glue holding the plastic bottom in place. Remove the bottom and paint the top portion which you cut off (it will be the rocket end). Glue the painted rocket end to the bottom. Turn the remaining portion of the plastic bottle upside down, insert it in the bottom, and you have a rocket! THE LITTLE PEOPLE can be made from finials or dowels with round wooden balls glued on top for heads. If you would like complete instructions for making this space station, rockets, little people, fighter aircraft (includes full-
