DISPOSITION OF RESOLUTIONS Nine sustained resolutions and two emergencies were handled from the I972 Area Conventions. Reso- lutions and letters were forwarded to g0vernment. in- dustry or other organizations, We were extremely pleased with the fine response. in answer to our conâ€" cern requesting the manufacturers to re-design a safer container for one sewing pudding and fruit containers. The Industry took time to answer our questions and sent samples of the new improved containers. There is always an element of disappointment. The resolution concerning invisible polyester thread unra- velling so easily in ready made garments and our request for a change in the finishing stitch. met with absolutely no response from the Apparel Manufac- turers Council of Canada. Resolutions concerning conservation. recycling. pollution. disposal of garbage. were directed to the proper authorities and the answers and explanations from government officials were quite detailed.
