Resolutions as adopted by the 46th Annual Convention of Kiwanis International in Toronto, Ontario, July 5, 1961
EARN OUR HERITAGE In an era of achievement
W);ien new horizons are opening before us,
When we realize we are just at the beginning of progress in every field of human endeavor,
When we appreciate the importance of the preservation of the concept of the dignity and the worth of man,
When we pause to remember that the past is prologue to the present,
That each generation inherits the fruits of the toil and sacri- fice of preceding generations,
That God has favored us with a vast physical heritage, That the spiritual blessings whtch have been our birthright are an even greater heritage,
It is time to examine our responsibility for that heritage.
Believing liberty is as sacred as it was to our fathers, and that our responsibility for its preservation is even greater than was that of our fathers,
Through personal responsibility and individual effort we pledge ourselves anew to the Objects of Kiwanis Inter- national by which we will earn our heritage.
SPIRITUAL HERITAGE
OUR FIRST OBJECT charges us as Kiwanians to give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.
We appreciate the heritage of being citizens of nations nur- tured as religious communities, dedicated to liberty and the dignity of man.
Powerful forces are undermining spiritual ideals by placing material things above spiritual values.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That, as stewards of the precious gifts of God, we will fight these insidious forces by giving spiritual things first place in our lives.
CITIZENSHIP HERITAGE
THROUGHOUT CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES there are apathy, indifference, and neglect of fundamental democratic principles.
Liberty is preserved in nations whose citizens work, sacri- fice, and participate in self government.
Kiwanians recognize the responsibilities and the oppor- tunities inherent in our individual liberties and democratic institutions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That, as Kiwanians, we stress the necessity for personal participation in all levels of government, reaffirm our CQ Program, and dedicate our- selves, individually, to earn anew our heritage by assuming the responsibility of preserving and improving those institu- tions we have enjoyed and cherished.
EDUCATION FOR TODAY
WE REAFFIRM OUR BELIEF that public education is the respon- sibility of states and provinces and that the established pat- tern of delegation of public education to local authorities can most satisfactorily meet the needs of our two countries.
We recognize that development of the individual to his potential, and our nations to their maximum, demands that education at all levels be of the highest quality.
Increase in population, growing tensions, and the complex- ities of the world today add urgency to the need to expand in quantity and quality the cultural and scientific education of our youth.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That, in our concern for excellence, we must
1. Strengthen our local school boards.
2. Promote the establishment of efficient school systems.
3. Increase the breadth of educational opportunity beyond the high school level.
4. Work with school officials to:
Adapt instruction to fit the varying needs and capacities of the individual with emphasis on those subjects which are basic, promote a thorough understanding of the laws and institutions of our respective countries, encourage en- rollment in graduate and professional schools, and empha- size the vital role of adult education in our society.
COMMUNISTIC MENACE
OUR DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY of free and responsible men has been developed by centuries of social evolution and given a broader concept in the orderly process of more than a century and a half of industrial evolution. It determines the course of its government by its own ethical desires and actions. It is per- suaded that the most hopeful future is inevitably linked to the spiritual, moral, physical, and economic freedom of all men.
Conversely, the Communistic concept of human destiny is unproven by either philosophy, time or practice and its recent industrial evolution had its basis in the prior efforts and assistance of free men. It also demands that all decisions rest in the hands of an oligarchy without moral obligation or responsibility to those whom it governs.
Communism's determination to destroy the democratic way of life everywhere and to conquer the world for Communism
is attested not only by the Marxist Manifesto but also by re- peated public utterances and threats of its leaders, past and present. Communism has violated the sanctity, integrity, and sovereignty of Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Tibet, and other na- tions, overrunning them, and subjugating and murdering their citizens. Communism has threatened the peace of the Western Hemisphere by establishing a beachhead in Cuba and by seeking from -.there to infiltrate and destroy other countries of Central and South America.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That, we recognize publicly that an international emergency exists because of Communistic attempts to destroy freedom in the world.
We alert our peoples to the present danger of infiltration and the necessity for immediate action on the part of the individual.
We will actively support and encourage programs · in our schools and colleges, public forums, and other means de- signed to inform and educate all citizens in the precepts of our democratic way of life, to instill in them greater appre- ciation of freedom under law, to intensify their will to pre- serve that way of life, and to expose the objectives and tech- niques of Communism.
We urge our governments to improve and strengthen asso- ciations of free nations engaged in cooperative and w:tlted efforts to preserve their freedoms against Communist assault.
We encourage support of Radio Free Europe as an effective means of bringing true and accurate information to the en- slaved peoples of Europe.
The principles of democracy and freedom must be reflected in our lives, both by those at home and by those who will represent our countries in foreign lands. We commend pro- grams of personal diplomacy, such as exchange student pro- grams and the Peace Corps, as effective means of furthering the cause of freedom for all peoples.
CANADA-UNITED STATES
THE TRADITIONAL FRIENDSHIP between Canada and the United States must be strengthened by every available means. Here·
is the bulwark of democracy in the Western World. Every Kiwanian should endeavor to widen understanding, deepen confidence, and strengthen cooperation between our two countries.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That we
1. Widen understanding by urging our schools to institute studies of the history, geography, and forms of government of our two countries.
2. Deepen confidence by a free and full discussion at all levels of government of matters that are of common interest.
3. Strengthen cooperation so that our friendship will be constant and inspire others to become neighborly, in the cause of world peace with honor and justice.
AGRICULTURE
WHEREAS, we have much food and commodities laid up for many years in our storage barns;
AND WHEREAS, we continue to pull down our barns and build greater ones so that we can store food which our grounds have brought forth so plentifully at a tremendous expense to our taxpayers;
AND WHEREAS, many people are in desperate need of the things we have in abundance, which could be distributed to them cheaper than to continue to pay the storage, in- surance, and other costs of the hoarding thereof.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That, we recommend distribution of this food and these commodities to those in need in such manner as will hurt the least and help the most, retaining only such quantities of food and commodities as are needed for our safety and defense. We further urge more bipartisan study of the entire matter of farm production and the distribution of farm products.
CONSERVATION
OuR COVNTRIES must be concerned with their depleted re- sources, eroded lands, wasted forests, abandoned strip mines, polluted streams and the possibility of periodic droughts.
We believe it necessary to conserve, replenish, develop, and redevelop the resources which nature bestowed upon us.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That as an organi- zation we expand our conservation efforts and particularly suggest that each Kiwanis club urge its members and its community. to a full understanding of the conservation prob- lems in its own area and promote action by appropriate methods to correct the situation.
HIGHWAY SAFETY
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS continue to cause an 'economic loss of millions of dollars and exact an increasing toll of lives and injuries on our streets and highways.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That, Kiwanis International:
1. Urge its clubs to cooperate with and participate in all local safety programs, and to initiate safe driving instruc- tion where local authorities have failed to do so.
2. Stimulate individual Kiwanians to recognize the need for uniform traffic laws.
3. Encourage districts, divisions, and individual clubs to urge greater respect for all safety laws and to insist on in- creased enforcement.
THE MENACE OF DRUG ADDICTION
DRUG ADDICTION has become widespread in many areas of the world and is a menace to the youth of Canada and the United States.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the members of Kiwanis International make every effort to educate the pub- lic at large to the danger of drug addiction and its effect upon our communities and nations; to seek improved laws and the enforcement thereof to prevent this evil; and to sup- port means for the cure and rehabilitation of drug addicts.
FREE, RESPONSIBLE ENTERPRISE
BE IT RESOLVED, That we reaffirm our support of the fol- lowing principles:
FREE, COMPETITIVE ENTERPRISE is a unique and indispensable
part of the genius and cause of the economic strength of our countries.
Great power in the organization of labor or capital ought to be guided by a great sense of public responsibility.
Canadians and Americans need to revitalize their convic- tions of the supremacy of the individual so that economic or other organizations may remain the creature and servant and not the master of men. Corporations and labor unions must limit the influence they exert on the private lives of their employees and members.
Collective bargaining is a part of economic freedom, wherein those who bargain should be truly responsive to the trust · delegated to them and to the need for greater and more useful production of goods and services.
Workers and businessmen should have maximum freedom of choice of jobs and enterprises consistent with free com- petition, human dignity, and democratic procedures.
The use of older or incapacitated workers within the limits of their potentials is desirable.
CONTINUING FIELDS OF SERVICE In Kiwanis to build means to grow.
To continue to grow and to meet the new challenges of today, we must expand our horizons of service and continue to pro- mote the activities and programs which have been the foundations of our growth in the past.
These include:
Kiwanis-sponsored youth organizations Farm-City programs
Programs for the mentally ill and the physically handi- capped
Programs for our senior citizens
Improvement of our moral and ethical standards
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That we re-endorse and sponsor these activities and pledge our continuing effort to activate them in our respective communities.
FOREIGN EXTENSION
RESOLVED, we favor the establishment of Kiwanis clubs in other countries in addition to Canada and the United States, under due safeguards fixed by the Board of Trustees of Kiwanis International.
