Dear Folks,

	I've had enough it's time for action! I had just poured
my coffee, my juice was on the table , I put the milk on my cereal
and I looked up at the 1/2 gallon carton of Hood milk and read the
following:


(IN big red wax letters)

		REGISTER

	Men, if you're within one month
	of your 18th birthday it's to register
	with the Selective Service. It's simple
	Just go down to your local post office,
	fill out a card and hand it to a postal clerk.

	No, this is not a draft. No one has beeen
	drafted in over 10 years. You're just
	adding your name to a list in case there is a 
	national emergency. So register now.

		( A selective service emblem)


		REGISTER
	IT'S QUICK. IT"S EASY.
	And IT"S the LAW.

	Presented as a Public Service.


	

	Well I don't feel it is a public service to have milk suppliers 
simplifing the significance of draft registration. I have no problem with
advertizements for TV shows and I think it is a great public service
to have missing children but I will NOT BUY HOOD MILK if they
show such politics. PLEASE call HOOD at 776-3790(Pam Kung or leave message)
and enlist your protest. The registration matter is not SIMPLE and shouldn't be
EASY.


Please help!
				Sincerily,
