Alcoholics Anonymous Meets
With Success Throughout
Nation and Here
Alcoholics Anonymous, an organization founded in-Akron twelve years
ago by a mere handful of persons
-with alcoholic problems, has become,
an organization of international scope
with more'than 60,000 members and.
when its first international conference was heldin Detroit recently the
meeting- .place; was taxed beyond
capacity by. those interested in the
organisation, • •
In keeping "with the group's princK
pies of anonymity, the location of
the sessions was withheld. The continuing need for both group and personal anonymity is one of the traditional policies emphasized at the Detroit meeting and among AA's 2,000
Michigan members.
The only purpose of the group is
to help drunks who want to achieve
sobriety and the organization is self
supporting. The greatest expense,
maintenance of a New York headquarters, is financed by voluntary
membership contributions.
The organization is scrupulously
non-sectarian and non-political and
does not advocate prohibition, but is
keenly interested in temperance and
the reclaiming of the drunkard, who
has a will to conquer his weakness
for alcoholic beverages.
Once a drunk gets sober in AA, he
is an excellent employment risk and
more than 95 per cent of the membership is working. With the membership expected to total 80,000 in 1948,
their estimated earning power will
be about a quarter of a billion dollars.
If the 80,000 were their former drunken selves most of them would be public liabilities supported by the American taxpayer.
Although local parties interested in
AA are not generally known because
of the obvious desire for anonymity,
work of the organization has been
progressing here for many months
and the membership is- increasing.
Anyone having an alcoholic problem
of ttt«ir own or ^ho desires the7JS_te
sistance Of AA for a loved one Ol"
friend is requested to write to Alcoholics Anonymous, Post Office Box 28,
Clare, Michigan, and you will be contacted by a member who will advise
you in strict confidence.

Alger and his mother Were very
devoted to each other and her passing
lessened his incentive to survive and

Richard S. Aberg, and their husbands,
of St. Paul, Minn., besides several
cousins, most of whom reside in
Michigan.

In Mouth Near Floyd

when the tragedy occurred.

MANY ELIGIBLE NOT .
RECEIVING SOCIAL
SECURITY BENEFITS"
Anyone Who Believes Himself
"Eligible Should?Make -,
Application
Many people eligible to receive
social security payments are not get*,
ting them, simply because they fai?
to fill out the necessary application:
forms. This statement was made to*
day by William E. LaRock, manager
of the Traverse City office of th«r
Social Security Administration.
"There is a widespread belief that
social security payments start coming
automatically when an insured worker retires or dies," said Mr. LaRock.
"This is not true. Inasmuch as millions of workers are insured under
the social security laws, it is not possible to set up a system which would
record automatically the retirement
or death' of .any one insured individual. The retiring worker,-or his survivors in a death case, must get
in touch 'with the nearest Social- Security Administration office, and a&-
tually apply for benefits."
In this respect, Mr. LaRock pointed
out, the Social Security Administration operates like a private insurance,
company. Insurance policy holders
know they must get in otuch with th©
insurance company when the time
comes to collect on their policy. The
same rule holds good for the federal
old-age and survivors insurance p:o-
g2'am,
"Employees of the Social Security
Administration will assist in making;
out claims application forms," Mr. I :v
Rock said. "The procedure is by no-
means complicated. We urge anyone-
who believes himself eligible for Social Security payments to write to our"
office at the first opportunity. The?
Traverse City office of the Socialt
Secui'ity Administration is located sX-
107 South Union Street. Office houre?-
are from 9:00 a, m to 5:00 p. m. The*
office is not open on Saturday."

MICHIGAN, FRIDAY^ MORNING, APRIL 23. 1948 New Series Vol. 56, No. 3d SOBRIETY GROU! IAJNS MEMBERS FQRJTS CAUSE Alcoholics Anonymous Meets With Success Throughout Nation and Here Alcoholics Anonymous, an organization founded in-Akron twelve years ago by a mere handful of persons -with alcoholic problems, has become, an organization of international scope with more'than 60,000 members and. when its first international conference was heldin Detroit recently the meeting- .place; was taxed beyond capacity by. those interested in the organisation, • • In keeping "with the group's princK pies of anonymity, the location of the sessions was withheld. The continuing need for both group and personal anonymity is one of the traditional policies emphasized at the Detroit meeting and among AA's 2,000 Michigan members. The only purpose of the group is to help drunks who want to achieve sobriety and the organization is self supporting. The greatest expense, maintenance of a New York headquarters, is financed by voluntary membership contributions. The organization is scrupulously non-sectarian and non-political and does not advocate prohibition, but is keenly interested in temperance and the reclaiming of the drunkard, who has a will to conquer his weakness for alcoholic beverages. Once a drunk gets sober in AA, he is an excellent employment risk and more than 95 per cent of the membership is working. With the membership expected to total 80,000 in 1948, their estimated earning power will be about a quarter of a billion dollars. If the 80,000 were their former drunken selves most of them would be public liabilities supported by the American taxpayer. Although local parties interested in AA are not generally known because of the obvious desire for anonymity, work of the organization has been progressing here for many months and the membership is- increasing. Anyone having an alcoholic problem of ttt«ir own or ^ho desires the7JS_te sistance Of AA for a loved one Ol" friend is requested to write to Alcoholics Anonymous, Post Office Box 28, Clare, Michigan, and you will be contacted by a member who will advise you in strict confidence.

(Continued On Page Eight) "'. MANY ELIGIBLE NOT . RECEIVING SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS" Anyone Who Believes Himself "Eligible Should?Make -, Application Many people eligible to receive social security payments are not get*, ting them, simply because they fai? to fill out the necessary application: forms. This statement was made to* day by William E. LaRock, manager of the Traverse City office of th«r Social Security Administration. "There is a widespread belief that social security payments start coming automatically when an insured worker retires or dies" said Mr. LaRock. "This is not true. Inasmuch as millions of workers are insured under the social security laws, it is not possible to set up a system which would record automatically the retirement or death' of .any one insured individual. The retiring worker,-or his survivors in a death case, must get in touch 'with the nearest Social- Security Administration office, and a&- tually apply for benefits." In this respect, Mr. LaRock pointed out, the Social Security Administration operates like a private insurance, company. Insurance policy holders know they must get in otuch with th© insurance company when the time comes to collect on their policy. The same rule holds good for the federal old-age and survivors insurance p:o- g2'am, "Employees of the Social Security Administration will assist in making; out claims application forms" Mr. I :v Rock said. "The procedure is by no- means complicated. We urge anyone- who believes himself eligible for Social Security payments to write to our" office at the first opportunity. The? Traverse City office of the Socialt Secui'ity Administration is located sX- 107 South Union Street. Office houre?- are from 9:00 a, m to 5:00 p. m. The* office is not open on Saturday."
