Resolution on Project Looking to (lie Betterment of .Moving Pictures. 1 Recognizing that one of the greatest great-est legacies any generation can ' leave Is a new generation with lofty Weals. 'Recognizing that parents take great enre and go to great sacrifice. I and expense in nn effort to guard their children from unnecessary i temptation, and to have their children chil-dren cultivate high ideals. Recognizing thnt the stnte, the nation nnd citizenry spend thous-nds thous-nds of dollars in the education nnd training of the coming generation. Recognizing thnt one of our highest high-est duties is to obey and sustain the law. Recognizing that industries endure en-dure and prosper most which serve best. Recognizing also, in- view of the above, that private enterprises or industries which counteract the good effect of home training, the money spent in education, or which fails to sustain or encourage obedience to the laws of the land, are not giving a "square deal" to society and because they are not rendering a valuable service, cannot can-not therefore, continue to prosper and endure. Recognizing that visual education by means of the moving picture is a powerful influence to be used for good or for evil. Recognizing that the motion picture pic-ture industry unquestionably accomplishes accom-plishes a great good and service by supplementing the training of the homo and school ana sustaining nnd encouraging obedience to the laws of the land. Recognizing, on the other hand, that insofar ns the motion pictures feature drinking, sex suggestion, violation of law, escape of criminals and possess a moral tone beneath thnt featured by the home and school, they are counteracting to this extent, the good Influence of the home nnd school, are not promoting pro-moting obedience to tbe law and lastly, they- are not rendering a de-sireablo de-sireablo service and to this extent, then, are reacting against the social uplift nnd the industry itself. Be it resolved, therefore, thnt the Springville Kiwanis club exercise its influence to co-operate with and to encourage the moving picture Industry In-dustry in its efforts to get and produce pro-duce better pictures and eliminate those pictures) which have a questionable ques-tionable moral tone or suggestion. Be it further resolved, that the Springville Kiwanis club make a special effort to get all of the other clubs of Utah and Idaho to further join in this project, and also to petition pe-tition Kiwanis International, through the district governor, to further fur-ther promote this object throughout all the Kiwanis clubs In the world nnd moreover to feature this project pro-ject nt the international convention at St. Paul, this year with the view of adopting it as n special project for Kiwanis international.
