A.A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

A woman member of the Washington, D.C., Group appeared on Ruth Crane's "Modern Woman" program recently on WMAL. Last year the speaker was one who had attended the summer school session of alcoholic studies at Yale. There were questions and answers about A.A. objectives and principles, together with detailed and local information about the alcoholic clinic operated by the District of Columbia at which A.A. volunteers work. The program was aimed at housewives in the hope some member of a household might jot down the information and telephone numbers given for future reference. From Washington it is also reported that due to the constantly increasing number of patients and need for relief the Bureau of Mental Hygiene in the District of Columbia has extended its services in the two district alcoholic clinics. Dr. Leopold Wexberg, director of the Department of Mental Hygiene, is in charge of the clinics to which local A.A. groups lend their services.
