ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS
Alcoholics Anonymous is an in
formal fellowship of former al
coholics banded together in 2500
A.A. groups scattered throughout
the United States and Canada,
and some twenty foreign coun
tries.
Alcoholics Anonymous, or A.A.,
as it is sometimes called, has
but one purpose — they are
ready and eager to help hny al
coholic who wants help in re
covering from that terrible ma
lady known as alcoholism. In
fact they need alcoholics to help,
for it is in helping ethers that
they help themselves to stay so
ber.
Nothing is asked of the alco
holic approaching A.A. for help
except a desire on his part to
get cured. He subscribes to no
membership requirements, pays
no fees or dues, does not have
to have a belief in any particu
lar point of view, medical or re
ligious.
A.A. takes no position on con
troversial issues. Neither does
the group pose as reformers or
evangelists. They are recovered
alcoholics and want to help oth
ers.
A.A. has twelve steps in its
program of recovery which aav%
become famous. Each A.A. i.'
urged to consider this program
but adherence to these princi
ples is not a condition of A.A.
membership. The steps arc a.
follows:
1) We admitted we were pow
erless over alcohol — that our
lives have become unmanageable.
2) Came to believe that a
Power greater than ourselves
could restore us to sanity.
3) Made a decision to turn our
will and our lives, over to the
care of God as we understood
him.
4) Made a searching and fear
less moral inventory of oursel
ves.
5) Admitted to God, to oursel
ves, and to another human being
the exact nature of our wrongs.
i 6) Were entirely ready to have
God remove all these defects of
character.
7) Humbly asked Mm to re
move our shortcomings.
8) Made a list of all persons
we had harmed, and became
willing to make amends to them
all.
9) Made direct amends to such
people wherever possible, except
when to do so would injure them
or others.
10) Continued to take personal
inventory and when we were
wrong promptly admitted it.
11) Sought thrdugh prayer and

for advertising all affairs for which
meditation to improve dtir con
scious contact with God as we
understood Him, praying only
for knowledge of His will for us
and the power to carry that out.
12) Having had a spiritual ex
perience as the result of these
steps, we tried to carry this mes
sage to alcoholics, and to prac
tice these principles in all our
affairs.
A.A. is not a religious organ
ization. It has one theological
proposition — “Power greater
than one’s self” — and this con
cept seems to be forced upon
them. It appeals to all people
(even has members who were
once a part of the American
Atheist Society), not just to the
religiously susceptible. However
this now famous remark, “There
are no atheists in foxholes,” ap
plies to almost all alcoholics.
A.A. does not claim 100 per
cent success. There are alcohol
ics who cannot be reached by
this method. A rought estimate
is 75 per cent success. A.A. has
a greater success with a greater
number of alcoholics than all the
other methods put together.
It has been said that A.A.
draws people from from their
church. Facts show that those
who had a church return, and
many who did not have a church
join one while in A.A. There
is no conflict between A.A. and
any church.

Federal Court Hearing
Set on Negro Vote Case
U. S. District Judge Frank M. Scarlett has set a hear
ing Friday, August 17, on charges that the registrars of
Pierce county are attempting to deny a group of approxi
mately 130 Negroes the right to vote.
A petition for a restoring order
and permanent injunction was
filed on August 11 alleging that
the registrars are attempting to
“strike all the names of Negro
voters.” Attorney for the plain
iffs is Lewils L. Scott of Savan
nah.
The petition asks that the
names of those removed from the
voting list be restored and that
the registrars be enjoined from
taking any further names off
the voting list for any reason
whatsoever.
Plaintiffs in the suit are listed
as Bessie Harris, I. J. White,
F. J. Brown, Emma Dugger,
James L. Bevins, Nancy Boyer,
Pete Jones, Leon Howard, Ethel
Holmes and David Collins.
Named as defendants are the
Pierce county registrars, Earl E.
Echols, J. Alvin Davis and J. F.
Sapp.
The suit was filed in the Way
cross division of the court. The
hearing will be held Friday at
11:00 A. M. in the post office
building at Brunswick before
Judge Scarlett.
Among allegations in the suit
are that the Negroes are being
discriminated against solely on
account of their race and color;
that their names are being re
moved without a proper hearing;
the challenger, J. C. Parker, is a
fictitious person; and that notices
sent to those challenged bore no
return date as to when the hear
ing was to be held.
Salk Vaccine
May Soon Be
Put on Market
Salk polio vaccine will soon be
available through commercial
outlets to persons 20 years of age
and older.
Beginning with the next vac
cine released, the Georgia De
partment of Public Health will
make about 5 percent of all fu
ture allotments from each of the
nation’s five polio vaccine manu
facturers available to commercial
outlets. Shipments are received
several times monthly.
This announcement comes from
the State Advisory Committee on
Polio Vaccine, with Dr. John
Venable, assistant to the Director
of the Georgia Department of
Public Health as chairman.
There is still plenty of federal
ly supplied polio vaccine avail
able in Georgia for those under
20 through local physicians and
health departments, Dr. Venable
said. There is no change in the
present program, which allows a
series of three shots to all persons
below the age of 20 and all preg
nant women below the Bth month.
The reason for the new allot
ment, Dr. Venable said, is to
make vaccine available to per
sons over 20, which is impossible
under the federal program. Vac
cine under the new 5 percent al
lotment will be available from
the five vaccine manufacturers
Eli Lilly & Company, Parke Dav
is & Company, Sharp & Dohme
Division of Merck & Company,
Wyeth Laboratory Division of
American Home Products Corp
oration, and Pitman-Moore Com
pany, according to each manu

Talmadge to
‘Fight ‘Police
State Methods’
Police state methods substitut
ed for constitutional processes de
stroy the rights of our citizens,
Former Governor Herman E.
Talmadge declared in a speech
last week at the Annual Meeting
of the Georgia School Bus Driv
ers Association held at Jackson
Lake.
Tadmadge spoke to the gather
ing assembled for its meetipg at
the Future Farmers of America
Camp.
The Former Chief Executive in
his remarks struck hard against
recent decisions of the 'U. S. Su
preme Court and legislative pro
posals before the recentlly
adjourned session of Congress
which he said “abrogate the con
stitutional rights of all our peo
ple under the guise of protecting
them.”
“When this nation’s highest
court ignores the organic law of
the land in 9 series of ruthless de
cisions aimed at regulating pure
ly internal affairs of the people,
then the rights of no citizen are
secure.”
Talmadge promised that if
elected to the United States
Senate he would:
1. Work for legislation curb
ing the nation’s highest court to
prevent its interference in purely
internals affairs of the states and
with the reserved rights of the
people;
2. Would oppose granting arbi
trary powers to any agency or
official of the Federal Govern
ment;
3. Would support legislation re
quiring minimum qualifications
as a prerequisite for appointment
to the U. S. Supreme Court;
4. Would resist every attempt
to destroy state sovereignty; and
5. Would work to uphold the
free enterprise system and
against federal interference with
state and local officials in the
performance of their duty.
