Yes folks, it seems that the selective service obtained a copy of Farrells ice cream parlor "birthday list" and searched it for any name that was not registered. Those that didn't were sent notices. This came to light because some kids were registering several times with phony names to get free ice cream several times a year. Seven years later they get notices from the selective service addressed to these phony names. Farrells had sold their list to a marketing firm that passed it to the SS. They were upset when they discovered its usage and got it back from them. The SS felt that this was perfectly legal. John Eaton !hplabs!hp-pcd!john
