Resolutions Presented by Mrs. Everett Small, Resolution Convener. Fifteen resolutions and one emerâ€" gency resolution were studied and considered by the Board Directors. Eight were sustained, six were lost, and one was not considered be- cause legislation has already been implement- ed. A resolution asking the Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario to do everything possible. individually and collectively, to encourage TV programs with higher motives and standards was sustained, since it was felt that indwrdual letters would have more effect than petitions. Strong objection was raised to the county school board system citing inequalities of rep- resentation (rural and urban), excessive sala- ries, expensive buildings and plush furnishings, etc. A resolution of objection was sustained. A resolution requesting the Minister of Jus- tice to amend the law requesting more severe minimum penalties for child beating offences revealed that discrepancies were not from weakness in the law but because the penalties meted depended on the discretion of the judge. A resolution regarding the prohibiting of the sale of beverages in nonâ€"returnable bottles was sustained and the Directors noted that, not only were children being injured by the broken glass but bottles are thrown, for example. in hay fields and broken glass could be rolled up in the bales which animals consume in the winter. This will be forwarded to Canada Deâ€" partment of Consumer and Corporate Affairs and the Consumer Protection Branch of the Ontario Government. The directors voted to sustain a resolution re nylon lace on cotton garments but were ad- vised to be good observant shoppers.

A resolution re printing of a warning re- garding dangers of smoking was sustained, and evidence indicated that Dr. M. Dymond, Min- ister of Health in the Ontario Legislature, has requested that such legislation be enacted. 5A resolution asking for consideration being givenhy the Home Economics Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food to the appointment of a Home Economist for the Kenora District was sustained.
