That local Committee sug: Unions 'appoint a use of them. adopted in London where many of the pasages of scripture have been selected and prin for memory work for the pupils of Public School. We further recommend that the sub- executive bring this to the attention of the Dept. of Education. Récommend that report forms be filled out and sent to County Supt. even if there is not a Supt. in local Union. The secretary may fill out the report and send it on, so that we may have fuller reports of the work really done. the platform and raise their voices while giving reports. This would greatly add to the interest and pos- sibly increase the attendance in local unions and especially at the conven- tions. 8. Recommend that each union divide their membership into groups, each group being responsible for a meeting, also for fees in their group. 4. Recommend that we have a membership campaign in every union, having a competition among the groups for members. Resolved that we put on record our sincere appreciation of the courtesy and consideration accorded us by the press and-ask its co-operation in the suppression of items of news of a sensational nature, which tend to cor- rupt the morals of the youth of our land. Believing that the defeat of the O. T. A. in the recent election was largely due to party politics and the brewers' millions, as proved lately in the probe, we still think: that On- tario is temperate at heart, and would have had victory as before, in a fair fight, Therefore be it resolved that we vigorously continue the education of our youth along the lines of Christ- ian temperance citizenship and their responsibility of the moral well being of our citizens through the vote. Be it resolved that we very sincere- ly endorse the attitude of the On- tario Trustees' Association in passing a resolution that the Dept. of Educa- tion require an examination on "health temperance and hygiene" in the public schools of Ontario. A coopy of this to be sent to the Dept. of Education. We deplore the attitude of the seeming majority of the people of Ontario in making the Lord's Day a day of pleasure; therefore be it re- solved that the women of the W. C. T. U. by precept and example "Re- member the Sabbath Day to keep it holy." 3 We urge women to support laws: that will protect women and children in the homie and in industry and to promote the election to office of men and women who champion the prin- ciples of purity, peace and the ex- tinction of the liquor traffic, therefore be it resolved that we as W, C. T. U. members 'will not cast a vote for any candidate who will not publicly agree to hold 'the temperance ijsue above party politics, it WANTED Sealed tenders will be received by the undersigned up to July 10th for the position of caretaker of the Port Perry High and Public Schools.
