1 Keepin Healthy A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW We can remember few periods when confusion and uncertainty so dominated the outlook for the stock market and the factors which directly or indirectly control its direction. Of course, when things are perfectly clear one can start to look for the opposite to occur. However, even during healthy markets there is consensus about a few important things. Today, one can get totally diverse opinions from conservative authorities about everything which dominates the current investment scene: The short term market direction; the health of our Bull; the next direction of interest rates and inflation; the type of business recovery, fast or slow; the future of New York City and its bonds. Not only do we have almost a total difference of opinion but the disciples of each camp seem about equal in number. This condition can explain the sickeningly low trading volume, 12.4 million shares a day on average last week and going lower, and the standoff in the stock market the past two weeks. Apparently the seesaw is about equally balanced between the optimists and the pessimists and few have enough conviction to do anything aggressive. Of course, periods like this in the stock market always seem to be accommodated by some alternative investment vehicle. This time, the institutions can again avoid making a long term decision on stocks by buying short term bonds at rates which have jumped back up lately. It will probably be close to year-end before the "experts" can do anything but guess about most of these uncertainties. Our opinion, looking out past the short term, remains that the sizable amount of cash still available for stock purchases, the historically low P-E multiples, and the yet to be seen business recovery will combine to get hopes high again and stock prices higher until optimism is possibly proven wrong by facts. Short term, however, it continues to appear that it will take either lower prices or more backing and filling to shore up confidence that the risk-reward ratio of buying stocks is again favorable. Thus, we would continue to maintain a defensive posture until the market action shows more strength than we have seen so far during this correction.

WOODSTOCK by Mary Richards Did you know that eat ing in restaurants has become more popular in the ' past couple of years than ever before? Some experts feel that , with the high price of groceries, many people f ind i t costs no more to eat out than to cook a meal at home. The Il l inois Department of Public Health, which has the responsibil i ty of making cer­ tain the places where you go to eat out are clean and sanitary, also has some helpful hints on how you can determine for yourself whether a restaurant is -meeting basic sanitary requirements. First , don' t be misled by fancy exteriors. Health department inspectors have found some of the most un­ sanitary kitchens behind some of the fanciest doors.^ This doesn' t mean that every restaurant which looks beautiful on the outside is not clean on the inside. But. a fancy exterior does not necessari ly assure the cleanliness of* the interior . ? Here are a few other hints that may help you avoid eating in an unsanitary establish­ ment : 1) Drive or walk around the outside of the restaurant , if possible. Check the general condit ion of the exterior, and pay part icular at tention to the SENIOR CITIZEN'S CORNER^ HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT regain her pension if the sub­ sequent remarriage ends in death or divorce - provided her income and net worth do' not exceed income limitations.

Governor Dan Walker has sigijed into law a package of major election reform bil ls sponsored by State Senator Jack Sehalfor. Cary. One bil l deletes provisions requiring a separate ballot card when electronic voting devices are used for judicial retention questions. Another al lows the use of voting machines or electronic devices for marking con­ sti tut ional amendment ballots and ballots cal l ing for a con­ st i tut ional convention The third measure al lows qualif ied voters who wish to vote on a proposit ion or in a general election held at the same t ime as a primary election to vote ' in a "non­ part isan' ' voting booth or machine. Currently, these voters must use ei ther a ""Republican' ' or "Democrat" booth or machine. The measure al lows county boards, municipal boards of elections or county boards of elections to provide separate booths or electronic devices Un­ people who do not wish to part icipate in a party primary. Independents could then vote on important issues affecting their l ives without becoming "party members." Schaffer said he was pleased the measures have become law. explaining that they will greatly improve and simplify elections and cut costs . "Electronic voting systems have been inst i tuted in many Il l inois counties to el iminate confusion in voting and save t ime m tal lying ballots ," he commented. "But requiring a second ballot for judicial retention and a third paper ballot for con­ st i tut ional proposit ions leaves the voter with a handful of ballots and the task of deciding which ballot is used for each question. Election judges must .spend hours tal lying con­ sti tut ional ballots . The mult iple ballots are costly and defeat the whole purpose of electronic voting." m e r i c a n V i e w p o i n t s w American Viewpoints A decent and manly examination of the acts of Government should be not only tolerated, but en­ couraged.
