Reid Requests
Counse|ing as
Aid 10 Youth

An Arlington Judge wants the
county to intervene against two
enemies Of children. poor mar
riages and alcoholism.
Judge Hugh Reid Of the
Juvenile and Domestic Rela-
tons Court has requested funds
to establish counseling services
to help drunkards and couples
with other martial difficulties
solve their problems out Of
court.
But he primarily is interested
in benefitting children whom
he considers the real victims
Of their parents ills.
When a kid Is in trouble, we
find 1t usually is because his
parents have been unable to
form q good marriage. Thus.
you are treating adults most Of
the time. not children" he said
yesterday.
Alcoholism also Is a very
real and substantial problem in
Arlington. It is involved in fully
half Of the non-support cases
which come before U.S."
Judge Reid last week asked
the county board to appropriate
an extra $l2,350 In next years
budget to permit employment
Of q full-time marriage coun-
seller and another specialist to
work with alcoholics.
THE circuit court also would
be free to use the counselor to
try to effect reconciliations in
divorce cases." he said.
"Of course, anyone who can't
run . filling station can put
up o sign and call himself a
marriage counselor. But the
real professionals have evolved
enough sound methods to do q
good job and we would be GER
tain to get a real professional"
Judge Reid emissions having
the second specialist organize
"a dedicated group Of IS to 1S
volunteers" who would consult
with alcoholics.
People such as some of those
in Alcoholics Anonymous have
developed true skills and can be
highly effective" he said.
Because the State pays hall
the salaries Of personnel at.
tached to the Juvenile and
Domestic Relations Court, the
initial cost to Arlington Of the
program proposed would be
slightly more than $4,000.

who last year unsuccessfully
ran for Congress as a Demo-

by board member Thomas Rich

 Value of mineral production in the State increased almost ' per cent over that of 1859. The substan- tial gain in value of petroleum and natural gas, coupled with increases in value of coal, sand and gravel, stone, and mercury, more than off set sizeable decrease in gold.
 Coal replaced gold as the leading mineral commodity with 29 per cent of the total value. Gold, with 27 per cent and sand and gravel with 25 per cent, were second and third in rank. Value of petroleum and natural gas increased from less than 2 per cent of total mineral production in 1859 to almost 6 per cent in 1860.

 The report points to dismal fu- ture for gold mining operations continuing in future years Tn Alaska. Output of gold dropped sharply in 1860, the report stated, despite a slight rise q per cent in total yards washed; value was ' per cent less than that for 1859. More than 99 per cent of gold pro duced came from placer mines.
 Substantial decreases in the grade of gravel washed by dredging operations and in yards washed by non-float operations were respon- sible for the lower output and value.
 Twenty-two dredges mined gold during the year. United States Smelling, Refining and Mining Co.,, in the Yukon and Seward Penin- sula regions, and New York-Alaska Gold Dredging Corp.
 Reduction of operations in the Fairbanks fields, with only four boats digging compared with six in 1859, forshadowed an end to an industry which has contributed i'm. portantly to the opening and de velopment of Alaska, the report , stated.
