The group approved the following resolutions: TO THE MEMBERSHIP: We call upon our membership to make a greater effort to educate our youth through the Loyal Temperance Legion and Youth Temperance Council so that they may be properly trained and grounded to meet life's temptations. TO THE CHURCHES: To en-i courage total abstinence as the Christian Way of life; 1. We urge our Churches to lead out in tem-l perance education program. 2. To* advise church members to accept; their personal responsibility of setting an example for total abstinence. 3. To observe Youth Temperance Education Week, April 24-30 1960. EDUCATION: Realizing the importance of total abstinence ,we urge that teaching regarding alcohol and other narcotics be presented from the total abstinence viewpoint, and only by persons who are adequately trained for such teaching. SKYWAYS: Realizing that safety in the skyways is as important , as safety on the highways, we urge I legislators to speedily enact laws which will prohibit the serving of alcoholic beverages on planes in flight. DRINKING DRIVERS: We are disturbed by the increasing death toll on our highways, many of which have an alcoholic connection. We urge our people, and elected officials, to find ways of eliminating from highways, drivers who have beclouded their judgment with the use of alcoholic beverages. v GAMBLING: We wish to go on record as strongly opposing any form of gambling within our State and Nation. ADVERTISING: We vigorously protest the obnoxious advertising of the alcoholic beverage industry, through the media of radio, television, newspapers and magazines., We especially resent their continued pressure to drink, and their stepped up use of illustrations of women and youth in such advertising. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS: Realizing the necessity of mental alertness in the conduct of the nation’s foreign affairs, we urge the cessation of the appropriation of funds by our government for alcoholic beverages for use in diplomatic circles. LOCAL OPTION: We urge our Unions to work more vigorously for legislation which will make it possible for voters in Indiana, who object to the sale of beverage alcohol in their communities, to ban such practices. PATRONIZING STORES: To show our appreciation to businessmen who refuse to profit financially from the sale of alcoholic beverages, we urge our members, and all people who favor sobriety, to encourage such businessmen by giving them our patronage. HUMAN RELATIONS: We urge our members to consider "e newcomers to our communities, and tc befriend them, without regard to race or national origin.
