FWIO sustains resolutions Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario were concerned about current issues during their annual board meeting at the Bond Place Hotel, Toronto in November. Numerous^concerns had been studied dur- ing the past year by over 25,000 Women's In- stitute members in 1,125 branches. Some of the topics that were explored included por- nography; profiteering by crime; 1eomen's rights; farm safety; Canada pensions; advertising that exploits women; day care "centre for pre-school children; bulk food shopping; child abuse; battered women; uses and effects of pesticides; small prin- ting on bottles and in telephone books; litter in public places; causes and affects of acid rain; drugs and alcohol; abortion; return of standard spare tires and better tires on new vehicles (how to protect our environment by separating our garbage and recycling paper, glass, cans, etc.; and transportation of animals and their safety. One day of the annual meeting was spent considering some of these concerns in the form of 16 resolutions which had been sus- tained at Branch, District and Area levels. After much study and discussion, nine of these resolutions were deemed worthy of support and were sustained. Alcohol seemed to be the major concern CARPET CLEANING AND REFINISHING $12• per Hour Includes materials and labour. GIVE US A CALL 524-2802 affecting our lives today, because three of the sustained resolutions pertained to this topic. Therefore action was requested to: (1) raise the drinking age to 21 years; (2) step up a campaign for tighter controls and public awareness of the harmful effects of alcohol; and (3) enact legislation so that a substantial portion of profits realized from liquor licences and taxes onalcoholic beverages be used explicitly for, the care and rehabilitation of alcoholic victims in treatment" and 'dt;-tox centres throughout Ontario. Concerns addressed through the other resolutions were: to set a standard for seat belt fasteners in cars and trucks; to enforce laws to prevent the degradation of women and children through pornography; to change the legal system to deal more severely with repeat offenders; to enact legislation which will exclude psychiatric patients from nursing homes for seniors; to implement compulsory centre line mark- ings on all black top road surfaces; and to urge the Canadian government to strive to be a leader in the global nuclear disarma- ment movement. .But all is not work. Women's Institute members do take time to enjoy the friend- ship of fellow members, make new friends and enjoy the warmth of serving others.
