Young men must register at time of 18th birthday Young men must still register with Selective Service at the time of their 18th birthday even though there is no draft, Colonel Knight, Minnesota State Director of Selective Service, announced today. He urged men who have not registered to do so promptly. "Failure to register is a violation of the law," Colonel Knight emphasized, "and could result in prosecution by the Department of Justice." The President's authority to, induct men into the service expired on July 1, and the administration does not plan to seek an extension of this authority. The Defense Department is relying on volunteer enlistments to supply military manpower as needed. Although the induction authority has expired, all other provisions of the Military Selective Service Act remain in force.

Young men must con- tinue to register and their local boards will classify them as to their availability for possible military service should Congress authorize the resumption of inductions in the event of a national emergency. Also, the lottery will be held annually to determine the sequence numbers for young men turning age 19 during the year of the drawing. Colonel Knight said the law requires that all male persons, with few exceptions, must register within the 60-day period commencing 30 days prior to their 18th birthday. He stressed that young men ac- tually have three legal obligations: (1) they must register at age 18, (2) they must notify their local Selective Service boards when they change addresses and (3) they must carry their draft cards with them until their liability expires, which for most men today is at age 26. The Minnesota Selective Service System has undergone a major reorganization recently, Colonel Knight ex- plained, as the System reverts to a standby operation with no inductions taking place.

Ixical boards have been collocated at a fewer number of sites across the State, reducing the number of Selective Service offices from 92 to just 19. One of these area offices is in Fergus Falls in the Post Office Building, 118 So. Mill handling Becker, Clay, Nor- man, Otter Tail and Wilkin Counties. Enola Lyons, Fergus Falls, is executive secretary. Delia Sha is local board technician, having been transferred here from Breckenridge, and Jean Walwick, of Elbow Lake is clerk-typist.

Registrars have been ap- pointed in most communities to eliminate the need for young men to travel long distances to sites to register. Otter Tail County Local Board No. 8fl is located in the Post Office Building. Registration may be ac- complished by appearing in person at the office or by one of the following appointed registrars at the place in- dicated within the county: Earl Hillesland, superin- tendent of schools, Parkers Prairie; Charles E. and Juliet Johnson Insurance Agency, New York Mills; Donald R.

Johnson, National Guard Armory, 421 E. Cecil Fergus Falls; Arthur W. Koltz, Parkers Prairie; Chauncey R. Martin, superintendent of schools, Pelican Rapids; Miss Grace V. Melville, Henning; Mrs.

Muriel Moore, 138 W. Main Perham; Mrs. Charles Odness, Battle Lake. 'HOT' AUTOMOBILES--Steam and smoke comes from the cars used in the "auto demolition" derby held Sunday evening at the West Otter Tail County Fairgrounds. A total of 36 drivers competed ID the event before a capacity crowd.

(Journal photo by Tom Hint gen) To Your Good Health By Dr. George C. Thosteson TUBAL LIGATION DOESN'T HASTEN MENOPAUSE Dear Dr. Thosteson: I have read several letters in your column concerning the new operation, tubal ligation, but no one has asked the questions that concern me the most: How does this operation affect menopause? What happens to the egg when it cannot travel through the tubes to meet the sperm? If pregnancy is desired later on in life, can the tubes be untied? Is there any unusual pain after the operation? Have there been any side ettects? Mrs. R.T.

Tubal ligation is not a new operation. It seems to me I've touched on these questions before, but since you lump them all together neatly and they are items that bear repetition, I'll take them one at a tune. 1. The operation has no effect on menopause. 2.

The egg, which is of microscopic size, simply disintegrates harmlessly. 3. Untying the tubes is an unpredictable thing and is usually not done. It's best to undertake such an operation as tubal ligation, as well as vasectomy, with the idea that it is probably irreversible. 4.

No pain is usually associated with the operation. 5. The only possible side effects are those associated with any operation, with the ever-present possibility of infection. Post-surgical care normally eliminates this. Dear Dr.

Thosteson: After having pericarditis, could I get it again? Mrs. F.A.R. You could, but you won't necessarily. Pericarditis is an inflammation of the heart's outer lining. So compare it to an inflamed finger.

There's no particular reason why you should have it a second time but having had it once doesn't protect you against having it again. Dear Dr. Thosteson: Do you have exercises for a person with disc trouble? I'm in- terested in firming my midriff but feel restricted because of a past herniated disc in the spine. M.F. Not all back exercises suit all people.

In your case, 1 certainly would consult the doctor who treated the disc condition, and find out from him what would be suitable for you and what would not. Dear Dr. Thosleson: Is there any way a person can tell whether he has bad breath? I have no one to ask. I have rhinitis but no sinus trouble. L.M.

The most obvious and logical method, of course, is to ask someone. But we all know that this doesn't always work because, as the advertisement used to say, "Even your best friends won't tell you." Usually a relative, especially mother, is a good one for young people to turn to to get a "breath test." Her concern for your social life will usually far transcend any qualms over hurting your feelings. But if, as you say, you have no one to turn to, then you can usually get a pretty good reading on your breath by simply cupping your hand over your mouth and breathing in to it. This should tell you whether or not your breath could stand improvement. If you do have halitosis, then the only real answer is to get rid of it, rather than go through life dousing your mouth with temporary solutions such as mouthwashes which will only mask the problem.

Your rhinitis could be causing bad breath. If not that, bad breath can be caused by dental problems, mouth breathing or any other oral, nasal or intestinal tract disorders. Or the problem could be caused by such a simple thing as improper mouth hygiene, careless brushing and failure to rinse the mouth after brushing and meals. "Bad Breath Can Be Corrected" is the title of Dr. Thosteson's booklet explaining the causes and cure of bad breath.

For a copy write to him in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long, self-addressed (use zip code), stamped en- velope and 25c in coin to cover cost of printing and handling. Dr. Thosteson welcomes all reader mail but regrets that, due to the tremendous volume received daily, he is unable to answer individual letters. Readers' questions are in- corporated in his column whenever possible. REV.
