Many Bicentennial features will be presented throughout 1976 as the museum-'galler- y Government spending in spotlight ment finances these days. The special concern at this time is due to the disastrous situation in New York, where expenditures have been running far in excess of revenues, resulting in the city being unable to meet its current obligations. Other communities are also having financial problems, especially the large ones, it appears. That is because their costs have been rising at a faster rate than those of smaller places, according to Robert Brown, executive director of the Tax Foundation. Smaller More Economical As for the cities across the country, the foundation reports that its figures show that the smaller cities are the most economical with the taxpayers funds. In fiscal 1973, it finds, general expenditures amounted to $427 per capita in cities between 500,000 and 1,000,000 population but were only $158 in those tinder 50,000. A' similar situation exists at , the county level, according to the latest government figures. In counties with over 250,000 population, spending has been at the rate of $681 per capita, on average, and in those under 25,000, at $421. In Box Elder county, spending for general services was at the rate of $397 per capita, the figures indicate. Elsewhere in the United States, among counties of comparable size, 25,000 to 50,000, the average was $413 per capita. The national average for all counties, large and small, was $575 and, in the state of Utah, $388. Outlays Vary The services covered by these outlays varied somewhat. In most counties they included schools, roads, fire and police protection, health, welfare, housing, sanitation functions. . : . .J By Lil Dummer, Counselor Box Elder Alcohol Coming Up and other The money to pay for them came in part from local taxes, fees and charges, amounting to some $208 per capita. The remainder was derived from state and federal payments.

For the most part, American society con- dones social drinking. Yet, there are those who condemn alcohol as dangerous for everyone, and others who emphasize that alcohol is detrimental only for the rare person. Alcohol, in itself, is neither good nor bad. A persons reaction to alcohol, not the substance, is the problem. There are many definitions to alcoholism. The common aspects of these definitions include: dependence on the drug alcohol physically; loss of control over drinking, including when, and what form, how much, and why; and interference with normal functioning in one or all such areas as family, work, friendship, and community activity. A counselor may assume that a person shifts from social drinking to alcoholism when the elements of dependency, loss of control, and interference with normal functioning are present in his drinking pattern. What Is It Like What is it like to live with an alcoholic husband? One wife answered this question by stating, Some days it seems like the only way out of this awful mess is for us all to die. Probably there is no life more difficult than the alcoholic person who is actively drinking. In the beginning phases of alcoholism, both spouses deny the serious nature of the problem. A drinking episode is frequently followed by guilt and remorse on the part of the alcoholic person. He begs forgiveness and promises to do better. The spouse is touched by his remorse and she, in turn, promises to do better, to nag him less about his drinking. This kind of episode is often followed by a honeymoon atthe couple is more mosphere expressive of their love and there is a temporary cession in the drinking behavior. During this time the spouse in particular is convinced she exaggerated or was wrong in her judgments regarding her husband and she tries to erase, overlook the whole scene from memory. Many say the situation is like walking on eggs. Is Progressive Alcoholism is progressive, developing and deepening over many years. Therefore, repeated drinking episodes are bound to occur and with each, feelings of hopelessness begin to build in the spouse and her alcoholic partner. The latter develops an increased dependence on alcohol, both physically and as a means of relieving stress. It is noteworthy that as he drinks to escape pain, the pain increases in the family. As the alcoholic husband becomes obsessive about protecting his supply of alcohol, the wife throws her energies into trying to control his drinking by hiding or destroying his supply. This produces serious conflict between the couple as they possess opposing goals. Social activities for the family decrease because his behavior is embarrassing, if not intolerable, to family and friends. The wife attempts to protect or This coming Friday and Her reactions to him alternate between appeasement and anger. Her inconsistencies lead her futher into an emotionally disturbed state in which alternating feelings of guilt and self-pit- y predominate. In such a climate, communication between the alcoholic husband and his spouse becomes extremely difficult. Attempts to try to understand each other becomes less frequent. Husband and wife sink deeper into isolation from self, each other, and friends, and their shield her husband, herself, and feelings of loneliness, boredom, others from the realities and and depression increase.
