Resolution Concerning Beverage Alcohol


Resolved, That this Convention register again its intense protest against the manufacture and sale of beverage alcohol, and that we ask the Sunday School Board to include in its crusade against beverage alcohol a personal commitment to vote against this curse. That we further ask the Sunday School Board to press for personal enlistment of voters against the manufacture and sale of beverage alcohol and that we go on record as sponsoring Southwide Commitment Day for next year and for several years to come.

BEVERAGE ALCOHOL

We recommend that as Christian citizens we give our full support to such legislation, both local, state and national as is designed curb the traffic of beverage alcohol.

We further recommend that this Convention join with the National Committee for Traffic Safety in urging the people of our country to ask the state legislatures and city councils to make statutory provisions for the scientific tests for persons suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol.

MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY

We recommend that this Convention register its protests with the producers of motion pictures against the alarming increase in the number and treatment of drinking scenes in recent productions and against the production of films that glorify and glamorize immoral conduct.

We recommend that the work of the Protestant Film Association be commended. Their efforts to produce high quality films are meeting with success as witnessed by their widespread use in churches and religious groups.
