EXHIBIT B CHILD-SAFETY RESTRAINTS IN MOTOR VEHICLES

Motor vehicle accidents are a major cause of death and injury among children in certain areas of the world.

Most children age five and under who ride in motor vehicles are unprotected by child-safety restraints.

The proper use of child-safety restraints will prevent the majority of deaths and injuries sustained by young children in vehicular accidents.

Despite the availability and proven effectiveness ~f child-safety restraints, many parents and other responsible adults have not yet recognized the desirability of obtaining and consistently using them.

Recognizing the need for greater public education and programs

to make child-safety restraints available to all segments of the population, a number of governmental agencies, community service organizations,

and political bodies have joined together to promote programs which will increase the use of child-safety restraints.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That:

Kiwanis clubs make a special effort to support the use of child-safety

restraints, including educational projects, loaner programs, and other

endeavors to help protect our children in motor vehicles.

EXHIBIT C DRUG-RELATED HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS

Highway accidents caused by the use of alcohol or other drugs have reached epidemic proportions, and have resulted in untold grief and hardship for the victims and their families.

Many states and nations have dealt with this problem by meaningful penalties, deterrents, treatments, and rehabilitation programs, ·thereby avoiding thousands of highway accidents, injuries, and deaths.

"

In spite of these efforts, the prob le~- remains, ·with society calling for greater efforts to eliminate these unnecessary tragedies.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED _That:

Kiwanians and Kiwanis clubs pursue actions and cooperate with

community efforts to remove from our highways drivers operating vehicles

while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

EXHIBIT F INTRODUCTION

Your Committee on Resolutions proposes the following resolutions to be acted upon by the House of Delegates on Wednesday morning, July 3, 1985, at the 70th Annual Convention of Kiwanis International in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

These are

product of proposed resolutions received from clubs

and districts, as well as the Committee's drafting of additional resolutions at the time of its meeting in Indianapolis, May 1-3, 1985.

Your Committee wishes to express its thanks and appreciation to all clubs and districts that submitted proposed resolutions and to all who submitted other material for its consideration. The Committee regrets that it was unable to use all of the ideas expressed, but urges individual clubs and districts to pursue, on their own, those projects that they believe merit support and attention.

It is the hope of your Committee that the resolutions adopted

will become the basis for dynamic programs of service by individual

clubs. All Kiwanians should also remember that previous resolutions

remain in effect as long as they serve a need for an individual club

or an entire district. Clubs are encouraged to pursue those areas

of concern that will enable them to render true community service.

EXHIBIT G PREAMBLE

The principles that appear in these resoluti.ons must permeate the entire foundation of Kiwanis and grow into the superstructure of Kiwanis services.

The needs and opportunities are greater than ever. Our programs of service must be kept vigorous and forceful. There should be in each some element of the eternal. These, in turn, become the ideals and the objectives of intelligent, earnes~, and sincere men. -·
