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.
