One of the many services your bank offers you is the
safekeeping of your money when you deposit it. Once .
you give a check or some cash to the teller, you can
feel safe that your money is protected and that it will

The bank is able to offer you
such a guarantee because of the
careful rules it follows when a
person is setting up a checking
account or trying to make a with
drawal. When the teller asks you
for some identification when you
are making a transaction at the
bank, your protection is first in

sure that an imposter does not get
your money.
There are many identification documents, but
your driver’s license is the most unquestionable be
cause it has on it your picture, your age, your ad
dress and other personal characteristics. It probably
has the most complete information about you of any
card you own. In many cases, your banker may also
ask you to present some other form of identification,
such as a credit card, automobile registration card,
voter registration card, student identification card,
passport or other solid evidences of your identity. To
guard against someone posing as you to make a
withdrawal, banks will not accept the special iden
tification cards which can be purchased from some
companies.
When setting up a new account, some bankers
may ask that you also present forms of identification
that are not current. This is to protect you in case
your wallet has been stolen and an imposter has all
of. ydiar CiftTfat cards. For example, your banker
may ask you to present your current driver’s license
and your birth certificate which is typically kept at
home and not carried in a wallet. This establishes
the history of your identification.
If you are trying to make a small withdrawal from
the bank (up to $50), a banking card, such as the
ones banks issue for use with automated teller
machines, is usually sufficient for the teller. How
ever, to protect your money, your teller may ask you
to present a driver’s license along with your banking
card to withdraw a larger sum of money. In your best
interest, the bank becomes more cautious and care
ful about checking your identification as the amount
of the transaction goes up.
If your checkbook or license is stolen, call your
bank immediately and ask them to stop payment on
all of the stolen checks. Also notify your local police.
Again, checking your identification before you
make a transaction is to protect you and your
money. Bankers want to help customers, not thieves.

WBTV To Broadcast Houston -
New Orleans Game Sunday NFL
The powerhouse Houston Oilers,
after falling Just one game short of
representing the American Foot
ball Conference in the last two
Super Bowls, open CBS Spots’
1900 National Football . League
broadcast schedule in a pre-season
game against the New Orleans
Saints of the National Football
Conference, Sunday August 17 at 1
p.m. on WBTV, Channel 3.
Gary Bender, play-by-play, and
John Madden, analysis, will pro
vide the commentary for CBS
Sports, live from the Astrodome in
Houston, Texas.
In all, CBS Sports will broadcast
110 NFL games, including this and
another pre-season contest and
four post-season games, during the
1900 season on the Network. The
other pre-season game will feature
the NFL Super Bowl champion
Pittsburgh Steelers tangling with
the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday,
August 30,9 p.m. in Dallas, Texas.
Regular season coverage begins
Sunday, September 7 when six
games will be broadcast regional
ly
The Oilers duplicated their 1978
wild card berth last year and
advanced into the AFC cham
pionship game before they were
eliminated for the second conse
cutive season by the repeat NFL
champion Steel era.
Since Bum Phillips took over the
dub in 1975, the Oilers have
captured 60 percent of their games
far an overall 48-32 mark. During
this past off-season, Phillips made
the most talked-about trade in the
NFL, swapping quarterback Dan
Pastorini to the Oakland Raiders
for signal caller Ken Stabler. He
also boosted the defensive unit's
depth by acquiring safety Jack
Tatum from Oakland and lineback
er Sammy Green from the Seattle
Seahawks in trades.
For the New Orleans Saints, the
prospects for a playoff spot in 1980
may depend on how they are able
to handle their Western Division
foes, especially the defending NFC
champion Los Angeles Rams. Last
year, New Orleans split with the
rams and the Atlanta Falcons,
while sweeping both San Francisco
games.
