By SHELLEY KANCITIS Ravlaw Corratpondant Many observers of business trends in the United States believe the computer will have a significant impact on where people choose to work. Experts predict that instead of leaving home and driving to work, more people will use their homes as offices. Census figures from 1980 showed over 2 million people worked at home. Futurist Alvin Toffler predicts there will be 10 to 20 million workers by the end of the century. Data Scribe, a home-base- d business in Layton, exemplifies this trend. e After working for over 10 years, Sue Zen, owner of Data Scribe, moved from Colorado to Utah when her husband changed jobs. We arrived here in October, 1982. My husband Roger, said it was silly to start working fulltime right before the holidays so I decided to postpone job hunting for several months, said Zen. Zen discovered she enjoyed her freedom at home. Roger brought up the idea of starting a home-base- d full-tim- , Member Leaves Applications Accepted for Library Post FARMINGTON The Davis County Library Board is accepting applications for a board member to replace Eva Jean Law who will be leaving in early August to take a nursing position in Saudi Arabia. Mrs. Law resides in West Point and the board said they would like a patron of the library from the north end of the county to replace her. Currently, the board is taking applications from the south end of the county to replace board member Sharon Shumway whose term expires at the end of May. Mrs. Law will be taking the position of director of nurs- ing at the King Fazio Medical ' School in A1 Khobar, Saudi Arabia. She will continue to serve un- til a replacement is found.

Because he had set up his own home business to part-tim- e merchandise rock hunting finds, Roger Zen could advise Sue on how to begin. First I had to decide what kind of business I wanted to start, said Zen who has a B.S. I in Business Administration. went through my job history and focused on what I like to do and on what I do well. Zen felt confident she could find a market for her typing skills. Once I decided to start the business by offering secretarial services, we immediately bought a business computer with expanded memory capability, a letter quality printer and word processing software. Although Zen could offer secretarial services without having a computer, it streamlines her work and enables her to offer a wider variety of services to a larger number of clients. When Zen determined there was an adequate market for secretarial services, she expanded her advertising to include resume consultations. Clients come to my house with their job histories. I interview the person, compose a resume and type it. The computer allows Zen to store information using a minimum of space. She can also call up a resume on the computer, update it, and print out a revised copy in a matter of minutes. Since Zens husband is a computer engineer, he is an ideal consultant. Roger helps me generate new ideas about how I can use the computer in my business. Future plans include doing billing and mailing lists for The computer businesses. makes it easy to keep track of a companys clientele. It can even sort out lists for a variety of purposes. Zen said other home businesses, such as cosmetic sales, could use computers to sort out clients by the type of product they use. The computer, for example, could be programmed to list names of all clients who prefer a specific perfume. Aside from her excitement about the many possibilities offered by the computer, Zen is also pleased about having her office at home.
