By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. The W.C.T.U. Convention passed the following resolutions: "That in view of the fact that exhibitions of moving pictures may .either be of great educational value or be subtle but effective teachers of immorality and vice, the Government should appoint a censor to examine all films proposed to be publicly exhibited; that the law be so amended that youths under 21 may not be able to procure liquor for consumption off the premises; jthat unions represented at the Convention are in thorough sympathy with the work of the Bible in schools, and will give school committees all the help jn their power; that the time limit now enforced where charges of offences against girls are made should be entirely abolished." The convention also protested against the retention of the totalisator and expressed the opinion that women should be given equal rights with men in regard to religious instruction, and that equal wages should be paid both sexes for equal work.
