Times-Advocate, 1982-10-06, Page 101 • • -1 A` Po9e 10 Timtos-Advocots, October 6.1982 Zurich licencing bureau plugs into computer system On September 7 Nancy McKinley went back to school at the same time as the children. However, her classroom was in the London Ministry of Transportation and 'Communications head- quarters, her classmates were fellow licence bureau agents, and all were there to learn about the new com- puters recently installed in their offices. A new computerized vehi- cle registration system being implemented by the provin- cial government is expected to be fully operational by 1983. All licence plates will be registered to the owner, not the vehicle, and licence renewal time will be based on the operator's birthdate. The new system will eliminate the traditional an- nual lineup of procrastinators who wait until the last minute to obtain their new licences. "After 1983 there will be 12 short lineups instead of one big one", Mrs. McKinley said. The new scheme should also prevent wrongful charges for parking and.other offences when a vehicle buyer fails to transfer ownership. A touch of the button and the computer will instantly ferret out the true offender. At present, the Zurich com- puter is programmed for a test system to enable Mrs. McKinley td practice fic- ticious scenarios. She has tried to slip one over on the silicon chip brain cells by typ- ing in her actual licence number, but the screen im- mediately lights up with big green letters. ERROR. • "You can't fool it", she laughed. When the computer is in full operation it will handle all financial transactions, figure out licence fees, retail sales tax, bank deposits, and even the agent's commission. It will print all ownerships and make out the receipts_ "This will simplify our work and make it more ac- curate", Mrs. McKinley said. (The September 22 issue of this paper carried a com- prehensive article on the new licencing system, its opera- tional procedures and an- ticipated benefits.) Mrs. McKinley has just returned from a weekend training session in Ottawa. The machine is teaching the human how to operate it, outlining the proper progres- sion, and explaining how to correct errors. The Zurich agent is enjoy- ing the challenge of master- ing a new skill. and whenever she feels nervous she tells herself the computer is not going to blow up if she makes a mistake. Mn.

Y Hay ratepayers meeting October 25 Reeve -won't run this tire+ Reeve Lloyd Mousseau will not be standing for re- election. "I've been there for nine years", he told this paper. "Due to other in- terests, as far as I know now, I'll not be naming for reeve in this election. I've enjoyed ser- ving the township, but younger people coming up should have a chance, and now is a good time for me to step aside and let someone else step in."
