August 8. 1924 Postal Route Heroes Uncle Sam has his heroes in peace time as well as in war. And the praise of these heroes are not sung in either prose or poetry. They are not broadcast tnrougnout the land. Xhere is no Congressional Medal of Honor bestowed on them; no decoration of any kind awaits them. There U not even so much as a citation for bravery and meritorious service performed in the line of duty. But these faithful employees of Uncle Sam never complain. They are not seeking notoriety. They are being content to carry on their daily labors without thought of reward other than that which goes with the con ciousness of duty fulfilled. There is no class of employees of the government that faces more actual perils of life and nmo ana are suoject to more vicissitudes of the elements in their daily routine than some of the men who carry the mails over some of the more difficult of the star routes. On the Rocky Bar-Atlanta. Idaho route, the seryice is per formed in the winter season by carriers travelling on snow shoes, packing 50 pounds of mail. Not infrequently, carriers on this route have been caught in snow slides and swept to death. Only t year or two ago, a carrier lost bis life in this way early in January and bis body was not recovered until late the following June. The routet from Ellison Bay to Detroit Harbor, Wisconsin, and from Sandusky, Ohio, to nearby I ! I - 1 . jBmnus must De operated over ' the ice in the winter and in the fall when the lake is frozen. During the spnng thaw it is extremely difficult and hazardous to caray on the service. A number of carriers have lost their lives in endeavoring to transport the mails between these points. P. 0. Dept. The Making of Radio Fans The volume of radio business in 1921 was about $5,000,000. The next year it was $60,000,000. This figure was doubled in 1923. It is estimated that the radio business will amount to $350, 000,000 by the time this year's books are closed. Few indus tries have had so startling a history. The record ia not merely a measure of the growth of interest, but also of the satis faction provided by apparatus that has been largely experimen tal, so new is this branch of science. Toledo Blade.
