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.
