RURAL CARRIERS HARDsHIPs,
r. p. Wall Stalled in the Snow at
Hinesburg Tuesday Night.

Assistant Postmaster Wilcox yes
terday received letter from Rural
Carrier Wall which read somewhat as
I follows: Started out at 1880 the
18th and could not get through on ac-
count of drifts farther than Hines
burg that night The next morning
men shoyelled from until 10:3o be-
fore I could get through. Then /
started and reached the Office at
1850. Had dinner and started out
again, made regular trip. returning at
$50. Came home sick last night.
Substitute goes to-day"
Regarding the matter OF the rural
mail delivery carriers being frequent
ly unable to traverse portions OF their
routes because of snow blocked high
ways, the superintendent of the rural
delivery division has recently issued
the following
The department looks TO the pat
rons Of the rural free delivery SER
vice, who are receiving the benefits
Of the service, 10 use their utmost
personal endeayors, and also 10 exert
their influence with the road super
visors. or with those oiiicia ais who are
responsible for the condition of the
highways TO the end that the roads
travelled by the rural carriers may be
always kept open and in such passa-
bic shape that the service can be reg
ularly and punctualIy performed.
Should the regularity of the ser
vice be needlessly destroyed as the |
result of inattention and lack OF care |
bestowed on the highways, the per-
manent withdrawal Of the delivery /
will very likely result.
Rural letter carriers are required /
10 serve their routes regularly at all
of the year and in every kind
If weather when it can be done with
ut seriously imperiling their lives or
their conveyances or the
United States mail which is in their
,ustody.
Patrons should clear away the
now, drifts, so that carriers can drive
Ip 10 and reach boxes from their We
icles without dismounting.
1t is NOT part Of the carriers
uty to break out the roads after Sc
ere snow storms.
Rural carriers are expected 10 en-
rgetically try to serve their routes
ven though the conditions may be
adverse. and any undue s
.ck of zeal on their part should be b
brought to the attention Of
lis office for such action as the mer- +
g of the case require" /,
