' e â€"2â€". ao l ® ' From the sbove report you will find that only oneâ€"quarter of the Resolutions presented were given approval. It is also interesting to note that all of those. _ passed by the Board of Directors and going on to Nationsl level were approved se _ . thepe, which should indicate that they had merit, The Resolutions which were to be presented to the Consumers Association were passed by the Board of F.W.1,.C. and did not go on to be presented at the Convention. This was done to save time and all National Directors would have this informtion in any case, 200C May we emphasize again, that too often we do not put sufficient study into our Resolutiong.: Conveners should have on file eopies of Home and Gountry and reâ€" ' ports on resolutions which would show them that the matter has been dealt with previously. As for instance, the matter of sewing thread and pint cans for paint â€"no amoupt of compleining is going to changeâ€"this;â€"‘we are told that the . threadsâ€"are good; the user fails to use the proper type for material being sewn ‘ * orcuses the wrong size machine needle; #6oy shev~often runs her sewing needle â€" through the spool of thread, thus roughing up.the surfseé, â€"We have a resolution regarding this coming up for 1965 and I believe this is the eighth or ninth time ' . it has come up. .

I hope Ontario women will coâ€"cperate in this study and bring:to F.W.I,.O,. their ‘finds and recommendations The Convention in Helilfax endorsed a resolution regarding the broadening of grounds for divorce in Canada.: It is interesting to note thatâ€"at‘ the Nattional® Convention of University Women‘s Glubs held im Winripeg dn July almost the same wording was used for a similar request,.
