A. A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Members of the Atlanta, Ga., North Avenue Group recently enjoyed a visit to the daffodil gardens of Joel Chandler Harris, Jr. Son of the creator of the immortal "Uncle Remus" and inheritor of his wit, Mr. Harris has spoken twice to the group and although a non-alcoholic has attended several open meetings. Within the past six months this group has grown over 100 percent. In a town of 1,800 the Cambridge, Minn., Group has 18 active members, its own club room and a lot of prospective new members which leads A.A.s there to wonder if they don't have a "per capita" record, especially in a dry county. Much of the progress is attributed to the Minneapolis Group, 45 miles away. Members from the latter have been active with the Cambridge Group since its start a little over a year ago. The fourth A.A. minstrel show was given by Cleveland A.A.s at the Little Theater with both recent performances sold out. At our press time a city A.A. bowling championship was getting under way in Cleveland as another activity.
