A.A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Four Indianapolis A.A.s conducted an open forum at Danville, Ill., recently which was attended by about 200 and drew good comment and favorable newspaper publicity. A small printed pamphlet was widely distributed by members to friends, churches and other civic groups while at the door of the forum meeting one of the member's wives handed out another pamphlet to each one entering as well as slips of paper for questions, the latter resulting in good discussion. One Danville member was on the platform with the visitors. The audience included members of the clergy, social workers and those with alcohol problems in their families. Several calls have resulted from the session.
