His files bulge with reports and statistics that show better than 60 percent of the cases in juvenile court - independent of traffic violations - are directly or indirectly the re sult of automobiles. "Th~re is a direct ratio between automobiles in the hands of boys and their marks in school," Finley said. "About 50
per cent of the boys we handle
have dropped out of school.
1\I,'any of these boys were 'A' and
'B' students in grade and junior
high. Grade depreciation came
only after they started driving
their own car or one their par

In his work, Finley handles
boys up to the age of 16, in
cases ranging from delinquency
and rr.iscreancy (comparable to
