Heppner Students Conduct Annual Bird Count (Continued from page 1) suggest an Increase In the ac tivities of man himself'. In this winter's count the game birds show the highest population count ever estimated in this area. These Included the California Quail, Chukkars and Rlngneck Pheasant The number of Mourning Doves was higher than ever before and there was a marked Increase in the Star lines, House Sparrows and Ore gon Juncos. This, too, would In dicate an Increase in human ac tivlty. "However," Mr. Horn warned, "these population trends should not In anyway be consider ed as valid scientific evidence to be of any scientific slgnlfl cance. The Bird Count must be conducted for a longer period of time and the county would have to be organized with pro fessional people doing the field work." People who are Interested In what was observed may call Mr. Horn and request a data sheet or go to the high school to read the Audubon Field notes. Mr. Horn lives his enthusiasm for his chosen field. His phil osophy Is to encourage friends as well as students to have a "Love affair with Nature".

The system, labeled "online- savings" by the bank, Is the first of Its kind In the North- west and connects tellers with a computerized voice at the bank's electornic data process lnsr center in Portland. When a customer visits the branch to make a deposit, withdrawal or to verify the amount in his savings account the teller will dial the comput er through a special touch-tone telephone which utilizes a pre punched "dialer" card that In dicates which branch Is calling and what type of Information Is wanted. The computer which has a 48 word vocabulary, will then re spond giving the teller the new balance In seconds. The "conver sation" will go something like this: "Deposit . . . account number one two three four five six sev en . . . amount nine five point seven six . . . reply." The teller then dials for veri fication: "Post balance . . . four zero seven point three one , . . . thank you." I Thus, an account containing $311.75 Into which $95.76 is de posited is balanced almost in stantly. Although it will no longer be necessary for the customer to have a passbook, he may re tain the passbook if he so de sires and the bank's tellers will continue to post it as in the past. Customers will nave a folder in which to retain the plastic card used by tellers when dialing the computer as well as a slip on which to per sonally keep their savings records. Conversion date for the branch is Dec. 31. In addition to recording and storing all savings account transactions, which had been done manually in the past, the system automatically computes interest and adds it to individ ual accounts. At the end of each quarter the computer will print a customer statement for mail ing and at year-end will auto matically produce a summary including the amount of inter est to be reported to the inter nal revene service when filing income tax returns, Harley Sager, manager of the Heppner branch.'said motivation for instituting the system Is a desire to speed service to cur tomers and provide them better records of their savings account. "It maintains better records and makes operations smoother and more efficient. We began making pilot runs with the sys tem last December and round that chances for error are just about nil. Should a teller make a mistake which gets into the computer," he said, "It will De detected In the balancing oper ations at the end of the day."
