A resolution on a local em should go through the local author- ;such as the municipal council, and have promote it. A resolution need not start a branch; it may start with a district or vention area. Be sure to send explan- material with a resolution. "Whereas" “because”; never pass a resolution on ‘you have a reason for it. A resolution Ed in a branch Institute should have the ures of the mover and seconder, the dent and secretary. It is sent on to the ict and then to the area where it is treated '6 same way.

Get the facts. Often we ask for legislation that is already in existence or that is impOs» i sible to implement. i 2. Be aware of the need. Is action necessary and of vital importance? 3. Enlist the support of everyone you can i get to help you. In presenting a case to those in authority nothing is so ell‘ectivc as a mass l of evidence from individuals to support your appeal. (Miss Sanders gave as an illustration ‘ the hundreds of letters from housewives ask- ing for war time butter rationing as against the protest of merchants‘ organizations.) Use the press and radio to enlist support for your cause, but Lise personal contacts still more. having one woman "talk up" the cause to another. 4. Send your resolution, or take it. to the right source. the right Government Depart- ment. 5. Keep everlastineg at it. until you have achieved success or know why it is impossible. “Don‘t have too many resolutions", Miss Sanders advised. She suggested that on organ- ization would probably accomplish more if it would work on only one or two resolutions each year and concentrate on them.
