A.A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Expanding its activities, the San Bernadino Valley group, which got under way five years ago and now includes residents of Colton, Riverside, Fontana and Redlands, held a large open meeting recently which was attended by several hundred A.A.s from various Southern California sections. . . Out in Hollywood, where the group owns a brand new clubhouse, the press agent of a movie actress who paints her dog to match her clothes, wrote in his publicity blurb: "It's a matter of record that this actress converted three men to A.A. when she walked down Vine Street with her green dog." . . . Boise is the first town in Idaho to start a group. And Seattle sends in a Can-You-Top-This report: Their membership has grown from 32 to nearly 100 in the past two months!. . . Besides Boise, other new groups are now going in Livingston, N. J., an outgrowth of Morristown's which started barely a year ago with 8 members and now has over 70, with attendance often reaching 100; Mt. Kisco, N. Y.; Redona Beach, Cal.; Lynn and Woburn, Mass.
