Dr. James A. Knight, associate dean and professor of psychiatry at Tulane School of Medicine, told participants in the University of Utah's 19th annual School of Alcohol Studies June 16 that the alcoholic's family life and the community REAL GAMBLERS are the subject of a study by a University of Michigan scientist who hopes to prove that people are pretty good judges of whether they will win or lose from a decision they make.

He said alcoholics often have marital problems, which frequently revolve around their level and depth of communication, com-munication, ability to give and receive love and forgiveness, appreciation of male-female psychic differences and choice of a love object. The wife of an alcoholic can be a key factor in his rehabilitation, Dr. Knight asserted in his address ad-dress on "Alcoholism The Family." "And in motivating the alcoholic to seek help, the wife takes a big step forward in seeking help for herself," he stated. Dr. Knight told the Salt Lake City audience that it is the therapist's job to help the wife "face the situation realistically and be aware of her defense mechanisms, such as denial or repression." He said the wife must also learn to let her alcoholic husband face the consequences of his drinking and not attempt to 'cover' for him. She should maintain a stable home atmosphere so that he will have something to return to, and be prepared, upon his recovery, to relinquish some of the family responsibilities she shouldered during his illness. Dr. Knight identified five commonly observed personality types of wives with alcoholic spouses: The mother type, he said, "is competitive with her own mother, guilty about her femininity and guilty about expressing it." The manager type hard and unforgiving dominates every aspect of life with her husband and frequently marries a persdn she considers inadequate. Although she is distrustful of human relationships, she often responds well to therapy. The martyr, or masochistic wife suffers her spouse's alcoholism with him, and her "sadistic tendencies cause her to strike out at her husband when he is drunk," said Dr. Knight. The child wife may be young both chronologically ana emotionally. "Since both marriage partners may be children together, they can't fulfill each other's needs," he explains. The rescuer wife frequently chooses an alcoholic or unfaithful un-faithful husband, then behaves "like a child with her only toy or the over -protective mother with her only child." Dr. Knight said the physician should determine if the wife fits any of these personality types, then try to measure the extent of her emotional disturbance. "She should be helped as soon as she becomes a part of. the husband's drinking problem," he concluded.

Census report reveals all sections of state did not share equally in economic growth during decade All sections of Utah did not share equally in the economic growth of the state during the past decade. This was one of the conclusions reached by Utah Foundation, the private research group, in their analysis of tax and economic changes in Utah during the 1960's. Preliminary Census figures indicate that the population of Utah County on April 1, 1970, was 137675, an increase of 30,684 or 28.7 per cent, since 1960. The 1970 census count placed the total population of the state at 1,060,671, an increase of 170,044, or 19.1 per cent since 1960. The Foundation report notes that all of the population growth in Utah during the 1960's can be traced to the state's high birth rate. In fact, it appears that there was a net out-migration of approximately 7,000 individuals from Utah during the past decade. Although total population rose by approximately ap-proximately 170,000 between 1960 and 1970, the natural increase in-crease (excess of births over deaths) in Utah was 177,000 during the same period. Fourteen of Utah's 29 counties experienced population declines between 1960 and 1970. A major factor contributing to the population losses in many of these counties was the declining role played by agriculture in the total employment picture. The number of persons employed in agriculture dropped from 29,700 in 1960 to 16,600 in 1969. Although most counties report gains in nonagricultural employment em-ployment during the 1960's, the increases in many cases were not sufficient to offset the declines registered in farm and other employment in the period. The report indicates that there were 34,863 nonagricultural jobs in Utah County during June, 1969, an increase of 9,042 or 35 per cent since June, 1960. For the state as a whole, nonagricultural employment totaled 351,732 in June, 1969, an increase of 30.4 per cent during the nine-year period. According to the Foundation report, personal income in Utah rose 77 per cent between 1960 and 1969, compared with increases in-creases of 91 per cent in the eleven Western States and 86 per cent for the nation as a whole. Utah County registered a 76 per cent increase in personal income during the nine-year period.

In 1960 Utah ranked 30th among the fifty states in per capita income which was 11 per cent below the U.S. average. By 1969 per capita income in Utah had slipped to 19 per cent below the U.S. average and the state's ranking had dropped to 39th. Although Utah's economy failed to match the gains made in most other states during the past decade, the study points out that several recent developments develop-ments give rise to optimism for the future. Among the en couraging items cited in the report are the availability of ample power and fuel supplies for future industrial expansion the beginnings of new chemical and metals industries based on development of the resources in the Great Salt Lake, an abundance abun-dance of raw materials, a central geographic location in a growing West, a highly educated Tabor force, and a favorable environment for tourism and family living. If history repeats itself, Utah will record ninety traffic deaths during June, July and August, J. Early Johnson, Safety Director for the Safety Council for Utah County, said today. "Over the last three years, 1967 through 1969, the State has averaged ninety deaths for the three month period," Johnson said. "This figure represents about one-third of the total deaths for each year." "The summertime or vacation period has traditionally been more dangerous," he reported. "Increased travel by state citizens, and an increase in the number of tourists, many unfamiliar un-familiar with Utah laws and road " systems, blend into a potential high accident situation." Many of the summertime traffic mishaps could be avoided, it was stressed, if drivers were able to recognize the dangers, know the defense and to react in time. To insure accident-free driving this summer, . already licensed drivers are urged to enroll in a Defensive Driving Course starting in Provo on July 7 at 6:30 p.m. in the Provo High School, Room Al-1. "This eight-hour course, taught in four two-hour sessions, is a real accident prevention program making good drivers better drivers," Johnson said. "Before and after studies continue to reveal that accident involvement declines when individuals have successfully completed the course. While advanced registration is desired, individuals unable to do so prior to the course, may register before the start of the first session on July 7 at Room 106, City and County Building, Provo, Utah 84601.
