| 1. | Alibi Album NO.1 "Just one small beer won't hurt" | January 1950 | |
| 2. | Are We Jack AAS? THE temperance lecturer, after an eloquent hour on the "sins of drink" finished off by asking, "If I placed a pail of water and a pail of whisky in front of a hard-working mule, which would he drink?" | January 1950 | |
| 3. | By Our Attitudes (by C. T.) Minnesota -- A LITTLE clock in a jeweler's window stopped one morning at 20 minutes past eight. School children, noticing the time, stopped to play. People on their way to the train stopped to chat a little longer and all were late because one little clock had stopped. Never had these people realized how much they had depended on that clock in the jeweler's window until the day it failed them and led them all astray. | January 1950 | |
| 4. | Closet Skeletons (by George O'Connor) THIS is one of those pieces where you have to leave out the names. The central character is a businessman--a middle-aged guy--who had trouble with his mother-in-law for years because he had a habit of having a glass of beer on the way home from work. | January 1950 | |
| 5. | Dealing With the Dilemma (by A. T.) New York -- STARTING with the June 1949 issue of The A. A. Grapevine, there have been several articles dealing with the dilemma of certain AA members who have been "dry," physically at least, for a considerable period of time but who find themselves in a dangerous state of restlessness, coupled with a feeling of futility concerning their continued progress in constructive living. Let's turn for a moment to the case history of one such member. | January 1950 | |
| 6. | Editorial: 1949 NINETEEN hundred forty-nine may go down in AA's history as the Year of Growing Pains! Bill's editorial in the October issue of The A. A. Grapevine, "We Approach Maturity," covers the subject most adequately. As a movement, great numbers of our individual members became conscious of the fact that they were part of something much larger and much greater than so many cases of alcoholism. | January 1950 | |
| 7. | Father, Dear Father Come Home With Me Now New Year's always takes me back to my childhood in a little town on the Indiana bank of the Ohio river. Recalling those halcyon days now makes me wonder how I ever got up nerve enough to take my first drink. At the impressionable age of 14 I must have been at least a 2000 to 1 bet--with no takers--never to become a drinkin' man! | January 1950 | |
| 8. | Mail Call (by E.M.E.) Florida -- ONE of the things you didn't mention in your recently published article on what older members can do to keep from being "has-beens"--they can write for The A. A. Grapevine. | January 1950 | |
