state convention of that society

The only requirement for mem
bership is a desire to stop drinking.
There are no dues or fees for A.A.
membership. The fellowship is self
supporting through the contribu
tions of its members. A.A. is not
allied with any sect, denomination,
political organization or institu
tion; does not wish to engage in
any controversy; neither endorses
nor opposes any causes. The pri
mary purpose of its members is to
stay sober and help other alcohol
ics to achieve sobriety.
The Isle of Hope group was
founded in Kodiak in 1956 and has
held regular meetings since that
time. Further information may be
obtained by phoning 486—5148 or
486—2364. Any inquiry will be
kept confidential in line with AA's
policy of personal anonimity.

Dr. Bob To Hold
“Medical Self
Help” Courses
‘ Medical Self Help”—A program
which is an outgrowth of the
studies of the American Medical
Association and the Department of
Health on a national scale, de
signed to instruct individuals and
families how to take care of them
selves in a nuclear attack—will be
inaugurated in Kodiak immediate
ly, it wfls announced today by Dr.
Bob Johnson.
‘‘The course is designed to in
struct individuals in the character
istics of irradiation injury and fall
out, dispelling many false ideas on
the subject. It is designed to show
how the individual or family group
can best prepare for and admin
ister self care in the event of a nu
clear attack,” Dr. Bob explained,
adding, "This is the only sensible
approach to the matter, since,
should such an attack occur, no
one would be able to be about for
at least two days, and expert med
ical care would not be available.”
“I have been asked by the direc
tor of civil defense to conduct a
pilot course on my own in Kodiak,
and have happily accepted this re
quest,” Dr. Bob said.
The course involves eight lessons
of two hours each, totaling sixteen
hours. An examination is given be
fore and after the course, and a
certificate is administered to all
who successfully complete it. The
number of people who can take the
course from one instructor is lim
ited to twenty-five. Persons inter
ested in taking the course can con
tact Dr. Bob’s office receptionist
and enroll on a first come first
served basis.
