term applied to them by the
Yale Center of Alcohol

"From these latter millions

The NCA centers last year
received more than 50,000 in

drinking. Some were from al
coholics themselves; . others
came from members of their
immediate families who
sought help for their loved
ones. ,
NCA was founded 17 years
ago by Mrs. Marty Mann, a
recovered alcoholic and a ca

For the first few years, it
was part of the Yale Center
of Alcohol Studies, becoming
a national voluntary agency
in 1049.
"NCA is not a 'dry' or 'wet
organization," according to
Mrs. Mann. "We are not inter
ested in social drinking, but
seek only to help those af
flicted with the disease of alcoholism."
