John Livingston, assistant manager at First Security Bank, Springville. demonstrates the new computer system currently in use at teller stations at the bank. Computers invade bank The computer craze has made its way in some form into almost every area of daily life - and banking is no exception. Both of Springville's banks - First Security and Central Bank and Trust -have computer systems. First Security acquired its system last month and Central Bank and Trust has had its for several years. "The bank now could not function without it," said Dan Zabriski, Central Bank operations officer. Doing the work by hand which is now done by computer would keep about 50 people on the payroll, he said. Although both banks are working on a computer system, however, the systems have significant differences. First Security's new system is keyed up to a main computer in Salt Lake City, according to assistant bank manager John Livingston. Using the phone lines to transmit information, the First Security banks can receive information almost instantly in-stantly on any account in any branch of the bank which has a computer system. "The general problem in the past has been that people from other cities come in and we have to take time and make phone calls to verify their checks," said Livingston. "Now we can key up any account and find out any information in-formation we need except mortgages and loans." In the future, the bank intends to add the capibility to obtain information on mortgages and loans, he said. The bank began installing the system in all branchs in 1979, he said. Some branches of First Security have still not installed it. Computer terminals, which each teller and some other officials have, are hooked into two computers, one a minicomputer mini-computer and the other the one in Salt Lake City. In the event of an interruption in phone service to Salt Lake City, the mini-computer can store information put in it by the terminals until it can travel through the phone lines again. One advantage of the system for the customer, said Livingston, is that r deposits are entered into a person's account automatically. "There are no more one or two-day floats in making deposits," Livingston said. "A customer can make a deposit, then walk right out and write a check with the confidence that he is covered." The computer also includes a machine which keeps track of the money tellers receive and give out, so "It cuts our balancing time in half," said Livingston. "And it helps us balance more accurately. "The system has upgraded our efficiency, and eliminated a lot of traditional problems such as accuracy. It has streamlined internal operations." The main advantage of the computers com-puters is speed and accuracy," said Zabriski. "It is easier to use the computers and more efficient." "It keeps track of people, where they live, how they handle their financial affairs." Using the computer, said Zabriski, Central Bank and Trust employees can look up the financial history of any person who has an account in the Springville branch to see if the bank wants to loan him money. "We have his whole financial portfolio port-folio there to see if he is a good risk." The Central bank and Trust system differs from the First Security one in that each branch bank has an in-dependant in-dependant computer. The branch systems are not hooked up to any central system. The computer compares all bank statements monthly and keeps track of loan payments automatically. "You couldn't do it manually now," said Zabriski. Loans and mortgages can be handled on the Central Bank and Trust computer. com-puter. "It makes quite a difference because it's right up to date. We can depend on it being accurate." The computer also tells a bank employee em-ployee if he is pushing a wrong button. "It assures that we are not gouging the public," said Zabriski. Question: Senator, General llecker of the Air Force recently said public opposition in Utah to the MX racetrack system does not represent the real wishes of the stale. He said local community leaders told him of a silent majority in Utah lhal really favors deploying the missile in Utah. Do you have any comment on this? Hatch: I think Utahns are tremendously patriotic people and there is a true silent majority in Utah who really would favor the deployment of this missile. But I think all of us are really concerned con-cerned about this racetrack system. I don't think it's a good system. I think the MPS system is better and since Carter has foregone. the SALT II Treaty, I think what we ought to do is consider deploying the MX missile Emelia L. on a far wider basis over maybe more states than just Utah and Nevada. !: Is deploying the MX in Utah an inevitability at this point? H.: I don't think so. I think that it's a decision our people in Utah are going to make. If the Air Force and the government govern-ment do not allow enough state input, do not listen to our Governor, do not listen to the local townspeople, town-speople, then I don't think the MX missile is going to go in there; because I think they're going to see two senators and perhaps two congressmen who are going to come out of the-stocks the-stocks making a lot of noise about it. And we're not going to let our people be tramped on just because it's important. im-portant. But in the final analysis it is important to ofir country; and I find most Utahns, being the patriotic people we are, are going to do whatever is necessary for the protection of our country. ().: Earlier, you said you are still mulling over the question of registering women for the draft, and President Carter made his announcement an-nouncement last week that he will ask for registration of women. Have you made up your mind on this issue? II.: Registration is one thing. I may not have nearly the problems with registration, although I'm still mulling that over; but I really don't believe women should be automatically drafted. However, if the Equal Rights Amendment is passed and ratified by three-quarters of the states, that becomes a moot question. They would have to be drafted and treated exactly the same as any other young man in our country. That's just the way it would be. But under present law, we have the luxury of saying we don't want women subject to the draft and that's basically the way I feel. (.: The FBI Abstain operation is causing major controversy in both Houses of Congress. Do vou have any comment on (he matter or on the actions of the respective Kthics Committees? II.: I think the Ethics Committees are anxious to get into the problem, but of course they can't do it until some of the information in-formation and evidence is released by the FBI. And the FBI is unwilling to do so because the Justice Department has put the clamps on any release of information. I don't know what they can do until, the information in-formation comes out and they are able to go into it in every full way. Frankly, I think that it's a serious problem. I'm sorry that we have colleagues who look as though they're in this kind of difficulty. All I can say is, I know Pete Williams in the Senate and he has always been a very honorable man. I would be very shocked if he participated in any major graft or corruption aspect of Abscam, ' but from reading some of the newspaper accounts and some of the weekly accounts ac-counts it looks very bad. ().: Unemployment in the nation rose to (i.2 percent last month. While Utah hasn't felt the full effects of the problem, what do you see as the solution to unemployment in Utah? II..: We-need to have growth in our economy. As you know, our unemployment right now is hovering at about 4.3 percent. Basically it's at that low percentage because we have been a growing economy and Utah has done a lot of good things economically, but right now the rate of our economic growth is down. If it continues to go down,' Utah's unemployment unem-ployment is going to rise. We also have the problem of the Geneva Steel plant there. If the EPA continues to play political football with that steel plant, we could very well lose it. And that means, in my opinion, the loss of 20,000 jobs to Utah and the loss of $1 billion annually to our economy. I don't think our state would weather that very well, and I hope all of us will stand up against the EPA and back our state leaders and U.S. Steel and keep that plant active and alive.

As an introduction to a unit on good health, the Westside second graders were visited by Kathy Kuzmic, Springville area school nurse. Through charts and a film, she explained to the children ways they could stay healthy. The children enjoyed her informative visit. Pictured are Miss Kuzmic, and Miss Hawkins' second grade. Teach children good dental habits Good teeth start in childhood, and there are things parents can do to help insure that their offspring have a minimum of dental health problems both in childhood and later years. To point up the fundamentals fun-damentals of good dental health for children, the American - Dental Association has declared the first full week in February as National Children's Dental Health Week. The ADA lists four rules which, if followed can help reduce decay: Cut down on sweets, especially between meals. Brush teeth immediately im-mediately after eating (snacks as well as regular meals). When this is not possible, rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Have regular dental checkups. This enables the dentist to discover decay and other problems at an early age. Fluoridation of community water supplies sup-plies greatly reduces decay. Where water supplies are not fluoridated, dentists Chamber luncheon sometimes suggest applying ap-plying fluoride directly to children's teeth. Sugar is a major cause of tooth decay. Bacteria that are present in the mouth act on sugar to produce acids. These acids attack the teeth. Of course, sugar is an important im-portant part of the diet. But it can be controlled. Nibbling on sweets all day is hard on teeth. Eat candy all at once, then brush teeth. The American Medical Association said many children, perhaps most of them, lose a tooth or two through an accident, often with a baseball bat or a playground fall. If this happens, wrap the tooth in a wet towel and take both child and tooth to the dentist. Sometimes the tooth can be replanted. FEVER - The fever we associate with bacterial bac-terial infection may actually have healing effects along with its unpleasant chills, aches, and sweats. By reducing levels of iron in the blood, high fevers deprive invading in-vading bacteria of necessary nutrients. However, there is still no evidence that reducing fever with aspirin prolongs disease or that allowing fever to run its course speeds recovery. EU?. I BEAUTIFUL NEW 1 FIRE ESCAPE -Every family should plan and practice fire escapes from every room. Learn how to operate every door and window latch, and be sure children can use an object to stand on if a window is too high for them to reach. Choose an assembly point in a safe spot outside where you can count noses and assure yourself all are safe. "To be rich is not the end, but only a change of worries."
