    1. [AL-MOBILEBAY-L] Names in Can't Get Away Club-Pt. 1
    2. Marianne Gilbert
    3. Hi Mobile researchers, As promised, I will list the names and info mentioned in the newspaper for the "Can't Get Away Club". I will post it in separate parts, as it is long. This photocopied article was sent to me by someone, so I don't have access to the microfilm. The print is extremely tiny and light to read, so if I have any questions about the words I will follow it with a (?). Also, prior to the list of the Standing Committee, it looks like there may be more on the same subject, but it was cut off on the photocopy - it is a mention of streets in Mobile with numbers before them, like some sort of stations, perhaps having something to do with the epidemic. The final two are readable, and I'll start with them, then continue on down the column. Hope this helps someone.
