ton of the courtesy and hospitality
extended by the Sunflower Art Club
and the citizens of Glasgow, who have
so graciously welcomed us to this city
and assisted in making our visit such
a pleasure.
Be 1t Therefore Resolved: We ex-
press our gratitude to the Program
committee for this most interesting
program.
Be 1t Resolved: By District No. 5,
Montana Federated Women's Clubs
that we are in favor of and pledge
our support to the following princi-
pies:
Defacing Scenic Beauty
Whereas; Montana is blessed by
nature with wonderful scenery which
will become a great asset as the years
pass,
And Whereas; There is a growing
tendency to deface and mar this seem
cry by painting Of commercial signs
on rocks IN the principal scenic drive
way and other means.
Now, Therefore,: Be it resolved that
we favor a law which will stop this
deplorable practice, and require the
removal Of such signs where now
exists.
Tourist Parks and Community Halls
AS tourist auto travel promises to
become increasingly important in Mon
tana and the tourist acquires his gen.
eral opinion of the state and local
communities from his immediate sur
roundings in the tourist camp;
Now, Therefore; We favor an active
interest on the part of u local
women's clubs in the construction and
identifying and maintenance of up
to-date tourists camps in each COM
munity and community halls, also af-
fording ladies and farmers rest rooms.
tuberculosis Christmas Seals
We endorse the splendid work of
the State and National tuberculosis
, society, and pledge our support to the
sale of Christmas seals by which these
societies pay the expense of their
public school nurses and field work.
: Furthermore, Be It Resolved; That
each club of District Five adopt two
soldiers at Fort Harrison and do all
possible to cheer them such as sending
them papers, letters and magazines
, and ANYTHING else which will accomp-
lish this purpose.
, Whereas: Many of the more pro-
gressive public schools are introduc-
ing a system of Bible study, optional
and elective by the student, whereby
a historical study of the Bible anc
Biblical institutions is conducted under
: the instruction of several local min.
: listers leach pupil electing to take the
course having the option to select the
S minister of his own religious faitE
or otherwise) said instruction to be
t non-sectarian in order to entitle it te
e recognition and granting of schoo'
credits.
Now, Therefore, in order to dispel
Y the cloud of ignorance in Biblical mat
t tiers among our young people,
Be 1t Resolved: We advocate such
: a system of Bible study in connection
with our public schools, said course tc
be optional with each pupil and free
Y from secretarian teaching.
h And, Whereas; School children IL
remote and rural communities have
not an equal opportunity with chill
S dren in the cities and towns in secur
r ing a high school education.
: And, Whereas, the operation O
school d%ormitories in a large measur'
b affords an equal opportunity.
f Now, Therefore, Be 1t Resolved
T. That we favor the passage of a Law
by our next Legislature empowering
school districts to build and operate

d all high school students at actua

d Resolved; That we favor the con

broadening of vocational instruction
in high schools.
