Directing the drive are Gene Ingersoll and Jill Harris. Mountain Bell MS as Pricing Experts agree that America is on the verge of a communications revolution. While the days of a single black telephone have long since disappeared, using the telephone for voice communications com-munications ONLY, may soon seem just as ancient. For example, in the future, trips to the bank will be replaced by a telephone call. Utilities may be controlled by phone. College students will have access ac-cess to computers for information to prepare for exams via telephone, And, your phone may be connected to security systems in your home. Another change may be coming about shortly, an option on how you are charged for your telephone service. Currently, most customers are charged a specific monthy rate--a flat rate-which entitles them to make an unlimited number of calls throughout their calling area. The cost of additional equipment and labor necessary to provide customers with service to fulfill these ever-increasing ever-increasing telephone needs will require a substantial increase in the flat rate, in the future. In order to make the charges more equitable, Measured Service (MS) is being developed by Mountain Bell as a pricing alternative of the future. There will be a hearing before the Public Service Commission in the near future on Measured Service. MS is a system of pricing in which charges for services vary, depending on the amount of usage generated by individual customers. Some customers presently have a type of MS based on the number of calls made. In the future, charges for local calling may be based on distance, duration, and time of day that the customers place their calls, in addition to frequency--a concept which is similar to long-distance charging. Unlike flat rate service, low and moderate-use customer pay only for what they use. On the other hand, customers who are heavy users should expect to pay morein line with the additional service they use. , "Measured Service permits customers greater control over their - i 4 J' ' i 1 war Mm . c5l Pv I Strawberry Cabin Owners Receive Notice to Vacate Cabin and trailer owners who now lease land around Strawberry Res-' ervoir have been given notice to vacate within 3 years, according to N.W. Plum-mer, Plum-mer, Regional Director of the Bureau of ' Reclamation. Shortly after that period, it is expected that the water now collecting behind Soldier Creek Dam4 will back over Strawberry Dam, thus' creating one enlarged reservoir. The temporary cabin or trailer permits, were sold by the Strawberry Water Users Association, which has managed recreation on and around the lake since the reservoir was first filled in 1912. An enlarged Strawberry Reservoir will serve a key role in the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project, for it ' will collect and store water flows delivered through the long Strawberry ; Aqueduct along the south slopes of the Uinta Mountains. Several recreation sites for public use will be developed around the enlarged reservoir, including in-cluding day-use areas, campgrounds, boat ramps, parking, and related facilites. Future recreation will be managed by the Bureau of. Reclamation.

"Veri-Check", a computerized com-puterized system which can inform area businesses in a matter of seconds whether a person trying to cash a check is a good, fair, or bad risk, will bgin "'operation' Oct.' 1 Veri-Check (check verification) is being offered by the Utah Valley Bad-Debt Prevention Association, a non-profit organization headed by three area businessmen; Harold C.

"In addition, MS means lower minimum billing, help to promote widest availability of service, and gives more positive identification of costs with services rendered. "It's fairer to the customer," Knight said. Customers should be able to pay for the amount of service they use. MS gives customers the option to save when the price of flat rate service rises, Knight explained. Regulatory groups around the country are looking at the new concept. Some regulators have also seen a need for an alternative to increasing flat rate service.

The information is programmed into the computer by driver's license number or student I.D. Each member business will then have access to this information by simply dialing the computer where s person operating a terminal will answer and enter the appropriate I.D. number of the person writing the check.

B - All checks paid No returned checks in the last 30 days. C - All checks paid Some returned checks in the last 30 day$. D - Some checks not paid We will state date of last bad check and number of checks not paid. E - Returned checks None paid. The final decision on whether or not to accept the check then lies with the business. The service is available to all area businesses for a one-time membership fee of $150.00 which entitles the business six months of free service of 3,000 calls to the computer, whichever comes first. After either limit has been reached, each call to the computer will cost five cents. Offices for the organization will open Sept. 1 in Suite 106 of the Carillon Building, 1256 South State in Orem.

Mr. Eckersley explained the first procedure is to have a crewman check the trapped person for injuries, give emergency first-aid, and explain what is going to be done. "Otherwise," he said, "you might scare the victim worse if you start using a saw to cut through the roof for example, and the individual can hear the loud noise of cutting metal but can't see anything." Then, you stabilize the wrecked vehicle so it won't tip further, for instance, in-stance, and proceed to remove the car from the victim.
