Mrs. Beavers then brought before the union the plans of work for the unions for the coming year, which are as follows: 1. The setting aside of a week of prayer, one day of which 4s to be de- voted solely to prayer for the success of the Referendum vote. 2. That a deputation wait on the Government asking that an instruc- tor in scientific temperance be ap- pointed in the Normal and teacher training schools of the province. 3. That the unions as a whole, place a ban upon the Hearst publi- cations, and I, B. S. literature. 4. That an appeal be made for funds to enable the union to extend the work of scientific temperance and Travelers' Aid departments. 5. To ask for more rigid censor- ship of moving pictures, billboards and posters. 0. To protest against the issuing of licenses of any kind that would tend to promote the use of alcohol in any form as a beverage, 7, That the Prov. union prepare a programme based on the annual report, in order to encourage a more general use of the reports. 8. That we work to place more women on the school boards and in the Municipal councils. 9. That the Prov. union, interview the Prov.
