NARCONON RECEIVES $64,000 IN GOVERNMENT GRANTS
NARCONON NEW LIFE has been granted $44,000 by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to put more people onto their NARCONON Program. NEW LIFE is a halfway house directed by Ben Gibson, and offers NARCONON courses to the public as well as to the recently released from prison.
NARCONON of DELAWARE located in the Delaware Correctional Center has signed a $20,000 contract to expand that program there. This program has turned out over 100 graduates since May of 1973. This program is now run by Mike Roylance.
FOUNDING CHAPTER CELEBRATES 8th ANNIVERSARY
On March 16, 1974, NARCONON Founding Chapter, Arizona State Prison will have their Congress in celebration of the 8th Anniversary of the founding of Narconon in the Arizona State Prison, by William C. Benitez.
This program existed for 5 1⁄2 years as the only Narconon program in existence. Then in late 1971 a Chapter was started at SCC in Safford, Arizona.
It was only in the first part of 1972 that Narconon U.S. was formed under the leadership of Mark Jones and Arthur J. Maren. Since 1972, Narconon has grown into an international network of public, private, and prison programs. There are 34 Narconon programs to date.
C.M.C. 2nd ANNUAL BANQUET
On Monday, January 14, 1974, about 100 inmates and 30 people from the “free world” gathered to celebrate the 2nd Annual Narconon banquet at the California Mens Colony, in San Louis Obispo.
Rodney Keim, the inmate director of Narconon was the M.C., and handed out all the course completion certificates. The event was a smashing success.

Success
My win (gain) is that I am now able to confront others more easily. Also, I have more self control. I owe this success to the Narconon Communications Course.
R.S. (an inmate)
I have had many wins using the Narconon course. I now have overcome my insecure feelings that I have experienced with others in the past, as far as my confronting them while talking with them goes. I have another win in that I have received a good job and residence letter and it was accepted. I have also had a win in that by helping others, I find I am helping myself at the same time.
