You can generally override the hyphenation mode with

.hy 0


Thank You very much.
That works.
But it is only in effect for one section header .Sh command.
I added the .hy 0 (0 is zero) command after each .Sh command in the man 
page and it looks so much better now.

how to force end-of-line in man page source

I don't like the way some lines in the man page have the last word in 
the sentence broken in 2 and hyphenated. Is there some escape code I can 
put at the end of the line in the source code to suppress this?
