10 RESOLUTION Whereas the pollution of our lakes and streams is one of the greatest enemies of public health and aquatic life; and Whereas with the growth of population and industry the contamination of our public waters is, year by year, increasing; and Whereas the science of sanitation offers in the case of domestic sewage and most industrial wastes a practical and reasonably economic method of treating the same so as to prevent serious pollution: Now therefore be it Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that all communities and industries should be urged to install plants for the treatment of their liquid wastes. Be it further resolved, That the Izaak Walton League of America and other organizations engaged in the warfare against pollution be and the same hereby are extended the hearty encouragement and support of this Association. RESOLUTION Whereas the future success of all conservation measures naturally will lie in the hands of the rising generation: Therefore be it Resolved, That this Association urge upon the state and provincial authorities of the United States and Canada to encourage ever intelligent and effective effort to educate the children on the beauty and value of our wild life. RESOLUTION The International Association of Game, Fish and Conservation Commissioners in annual convention, assembled in Mineapolis, September 13, 1929, takes cognizance of the oyster industry of the United States as being one of great ecnomic importance. The proper development of the industry and its encouragement should not only engage the attention of the several coastal states having such industry, but because of the national contribution of a wholesome and nutritious food supply to our people it makes, the industry should meet encouragement also from the Federal Government, and safeguards should be thrown around the industry that nothing should stand in the way of its highest development. In order that the oyster industry may be properly, wisely and more effectively stimulated in the United States and because of the industry s great economic importance, it is believed that the importation of canned oysters of inferior grade to those of our own from foreign countries, placed free of duty on American markets, will not only greatly hinder but tends to destroy the industry: Therefore be it Resolved, That it is the sense of the International Association of Game Fish and Conservation Commissioners that the National Congress should throw such safeguards around the oyster industry of the United States as will guarantee to it a normal, healthy development as a medium through which not only thousands of our citizens may be gainfully employed, but millions of them fed with a wholesome, palatable and nutritious food supply. Be it resolved further. That the secretary of the International Association of Game, Fish and Conservation Commissioners be and is hereby instructed to forward a copy of this resolution to the proper authorities at the national capital in Washington, D. C., for their information and consideration. 135
