INCREASE OF from page 1 not guilty findings by juries in cases of drunk drivers. • Juries, often comprised of people who may drink and drive and have not gotten caught, tend to identify with defendants and give the benefit of the doubt if case does not involve serious injuries, according to McHenry County State's Attorney Ted Floro. "It can difficult to get con* actions in drunk driving trials," Floro said. "Juries sympathize with mosT people driving. Community attitudes toward the problem have to change." In response to these verdicts, Hutchinson said she believed "supervision dispositions could be used to keep offenders under the AU lie court's control to help them," by sending them to an alcohol education program. Judge Conrad Floeter said laws that went into effect this year requiring man­ datory jail sentences for second or subsequent convictions and for driving on a suspended or revoked license is eliminating a lot of plea bargaining. " W h e t h e r p u t t i n g someone in jail for seven days wlH cure his drinking--|--, problem or not, I. don't know. It'll keep him off the road for that long," Floeter said. "My job is to keep drunks off the road, not cure them. If I get someone pleading guilty, I just hand them a bus schedule." Seminars set for small businessmen PAGE 3 - PLAIN DEALER - FRIDAY.

You know, be abull on Monday, a bear on Tuesday, a Pisces on*Wednesday, a bull again on Thursday, then belly-up drunk on Friday. I want to read the ticker tape to get the latest line on stock action. I want to flail my arms and scream on Wall Street. I want a T-bill in the glove compartment of my T-roofed, T- bird. I want to carry a briefcase full of stock tips and may lunch, of course. I want to be able to get on the phone and'yell, "Buy, buy, buy!" Or, "Sell, sell, sell!" I want to own a pork belly future. And if someone asks me a financial question like: "Should I buy Norwegian krones or Greek drachmas?" I want to be able to give a snappy answer. Right now, I'd refer the questioner to an ethnic restaurant. Drachmas sound tantalizing to me. I want to understand the stock market to such a high degree that I find nothing ironical about the name Standard & Poor's. I want that E.F. Hutton magic. I want a fat cigar and a portfolio. Unfortunately, I can't get past the daily report on leading market indicators in the business section of the newspaper. When I watch the news on TV, there,is always a report on the daily happenings of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. I've been following the Dow--that's what the pros call it-- for 15 years, and I still don't know what it is. The bulls and bears play there, I guess. • „ It seems to me that playing the stock market should be a rather easy game. I'm just guessing, but the market volume, whatever that might be, averages 100 million shares a day, or something like 26 billion shares a year. In two years, more shares change hands on the exchange than McDonald's has ever sold in hamburgers, which is 45 billion last time I looked. I can buy a hamburger as easily as the next guy. And with confidence. Shouldn't I be able 0 buy a stock a day just as easily and with just as much confidence? With 26^0(^)00,000 stocks being sold a year, it certainly should be easy to get your hands on one or two, then watch the dividends pour in. Or is the Hamburger Theory of Stocks a lot of chopped beef? When you read the stock report in the newspaper, you find five full pages of abbreviated names and lists of numbers. Those five pages should contain enough information for even the novice stock dabbler like me to get a piece of the Wall Street action. Let's say I have an extra 10 bucks lying arount I want to ves. I'll turn to the business section-all five pages of it- and study it. Funny thing, I won't find a single price. How far would the local grocery store get if it didn't include prices in it's ads? No wonder this country is in and out of recessions faster than you can say, "Gotta call my broker. The bull's coming my way ." I won't even be able to find the telephone number for CnP prS to tell them I'd like $10 worth. f \ Apparently, the key number is found in trc far right column of 11k stock listings, in the same place you'd find a batting average in the sports pages. That number is usually a fraction of one, like plus one-eighth or minus three- sixteenths divided by the square root of 83 pli^the tem­ perature in Acapulco. Fractions? I was never good at fractions. Just ask Mrs. Hickey, my third-grade teacher. When I couldn't add eight- ninths and 52-72nds, I'll bet she could have predicted I would never be a financial success. If this country is ever going to see real economic recovery, someone is going to have totranslate the «New York-Slick Exchange composite prices into dollars and cents so guys like me with 10 bucks to spare will be able to play the market. . I watched both national political conventions this sum­ mer, and neither party has a dollar-and-cents plank in its platform. With an anti-business attitude like that, what's a 'Monday bull-to-be to do but be belly-up and drunk on 1 Friday?
