Main St., Mount Joy, Pa. Phone 653-4001 PLENTY OF FREE PARKING President Ford signed Proclamation 4360 dated March 29, 1975, which changes the method by which young men, both citi- zens and aliens, fulfill their obligation to register under the provisions of the Mili- tary Selective Service Act. The termination of exist- ing registration procedures became effective April 1, 1975. Byron V. Pepitone,| Director of Selective Ser- vice, said planning is under way for a new registration procedure. The requirement to re- gister is still in full force and effect, and only the method of registration will be chan- ged. The Director explained that planning centered a- round the once-a-year re- gistration period of a few days in which young men born in a given year would be required to present them- selves for registration. He indicated that several plans were under discussion and when it is determined what method of registration will be utilized the public an- nouncement of procedures will be made by proclama- tion as prescribed in the Military Selective Service Act. The public announce- ment of these new registra- tion procedures will pro- bably be made toward the end of 1975. Mr. Pepitone stressed that the change in regis- tration procedures is a part of the on-going studies to reduce the cost of maintain- ing the Selective Service System and support of all volunteer military establish- ments. He said our present system of continuous re- gistrations has been highly successful. In fact, during the calendar year 1974 Se- lective Service continued to register more men than the number established by the U. S. Bureau of Census for the current year birth group. QUESTION ANSWER Pennsylvania Power & Light Company's | Consumer & Community Services, vice president Herb Nash, answers another question from the utility's consumers. fos We installed electric heating because we were convinced it was inexpensive. With electric rates increasing why shouldn’t we feel we've been had? Electric Rates are rising along with all other goods and services. We regret that we could not foresee or forestall the inflation that has made a shambles of prices, including the cost of electricity. Owners of other types of heating systems — oil, gas and coal — have seen their heat- ing costs mounting rapidly, too. Interest in electric heat grew because of such benefits as lower installation costs, lower maintenance costs, cleanliness and safety. Since 1970 spiralling costs of everything we buy, led by the cost of fuel, have made electric heat more expensive. Until the total economy is straightened out, we're afraid the cost of heating, be it coal, oil, gas or electricity, will remain a sizable part of the family budget.
