EVERYBODY WELCOME
(editor's note: Thla la
the third of ala articles on
The growing menace of alco*
holism ami steps being taken
to combat It in Texas.)
“If alcoholiam ware a commu-
nicable diaeaae. a national emer-
gency would be declared!"
Thla jolting atalement by a
renowned paychiatrlat. Dr. Wil-
liam C. Mennlnger. points up
both the seriouaneaa of the dis-
ease and the ignorance engulf-
ing it.
Without communicability to
dramatize it and prod the public
to outraged investigation and
action, the nation's third most
aerioua public health problem re-
main* a "hidden malady." It lies
concealed beneath a com pies of
myth, prejudice, misinformation
and misdirected righteousness
Authorities agree that a suc-
cessful attack on alcoholism must
he preceded by the clear, cool
light of fact— and that fact-
dispersion must take place at the
grass roots.
Thu* "Target One" of the Tex-
as Commission on Alcoholism's
offensive is the formation of com-
munity "Council* on Alcoholism"
to launch program* of public edu-
cation and informative aervice at
the local level. The commis-
sion ha* two field representativea
working full time Initiating coun-
cil formation and assisting in
their operation It aluo ha* an
appropriation to help new coun-
cil* open "Alcoholiam Informa-
tion Centers" in their communi-
ties.
• * *
A Council on Alcoholism I*
n slate-chartered, non-profit,
charitable, self-governing, lo-
cally supported organization
of public-spirited volunteer
citizen*. It In neither "wet”
nor "dry," neither favor*
nor oppose* the sale or con-
sumption of alcoholic bev-
erages. It recognize* Alco-
holics Anonymous as a highly
effective avenue of recovery
for the alcoholic, but lias no
official connection with AA.
An Alcoholiam Information
Center with permanent quarter*
and a paid executive in charge
la the heart of council activity
Through it the council carriea on
a program of public enlighten-
ment and offer* a conaulatlon and
referral aervice for the indi-
vidual.
In Its educational campaign.
Even In the present relatively
hostile atmosphere. * irely troub-
led people seek guidance at in-
formation center* from the day
their doorw open. The center
executive i* able lo di*cu** their
problem* sympathetically, confi-
dentially. and Intelligently He
offer* neither treatment nor
profcHHional counseling, but I*
qualified lo give authorltntlv >
information about nlenhn|i*m
and suggest source* of profession-
al or other appropriate help
Many inquiries come from
members of alcoholics' families,
close friends, or business asso-
ciates Wives frequently seek
advice and are usually greatly re-
lieved merely to learn thnt their
husbands are sick men and not
hopeless moral deviates This
knowledge alone often has a
markedly stabilizing and thera-
peutic effect on such distraught,
long-suffering women
holism existed in Texa* in \u*-
ttn. Dallas. Houston, and Orange
My comparison, there were la.r,
cancer *ocietie* and 95 tubercu-
losls association* in the stale
Through commlsion encourage-
ment. six additional councils
have been organized and have
opened Information centers in
Abilene. Meaumont, Corpus
Christi. Fort Worth. San Antonio,
and Wichita Fall*

Already, thousands of Texans
have received eye-opening. ac-
curate information about alco-
holism ns a result of this new
council activity Through guid-
ance received hi their informa-
tion centers, hundreds of suf-
ferers have been diverted from
the inevitable doom of active
alcoholism, set on the road lo
permanent recovery nnd a new
und productive life.
