POSTAL CARRIERS
 FACE MANY PER|LS
Winter Particularly Dangerous
 -56 Die in 2 t-2 Years

Washington, Nov. S. UP)- Peace has it's heroes no less re- nowned than war.
 Should any doubting Thomas question the verify of this adage. there are countless reports in oIh- erwise prosaic government files 10 prove his scepticism unJustifiod
 Records Of bravery and heroism paraIleling the deeds Of daring by those who have faced enemy gun fire bear testimony to the valiant service by the nations public ser wants.
 Consider some Of the men who carry the mails over dangerous mountain routes. through winter blizzards in the far northlaud Of Alaska, or over floating ico packs In frozen lakes. In inc past two and half years 56 "star route" mail carriers have lost their lives while in performance of duty.
 To many a lonely outpost Of civilization the intrepid star rourc carrier is the sole contact with the outside world. His daily. or some times weekly and monthly visit. is an event of the first order. Star routes are maintained in many parts Of the country where travel IS dangerous and regular mail deuv- cry a hazardous occupation. These men are not paid salaries but work under contract. awarded after com petitive bidding.
 Among the most dangerous star routes served by rural carriers are those from Newport to Otter Rock, Ore; Ellison Bay to Detroit liar bor Wisconsin; Rocky Bar 10 At lanta, Idaho: and from Sanduskv to Kellys Island, Middle Base and Putin Bay. Ohio.
 On the Idaho route mentioned de- liyeries are made by carriers travel ing on snow shoes during winter months, packing 50 pounds of mail, and not infrequently they have been caught by snowslides and swept 10 death.
 Between Ellison Bay and Detroit Harbor, Wis. and from Sandusky O.. to nearby islands, the service must be performed over the ice in winter and in the fall when lakes are frozen. During the spring thaw it is extremely difficult and hazard ous to carry on the service. 4 num- Der of carriers have met death be- tween these points.
 The Hitchcock brothers, carriers on the route out of SandusRy, were once trapped in a storm and run ming ice. They were carried down the resistless force Of q drift in which they had become wedged. Given up for lost by the islanders, the carriers were finally rescued in an exhausted condition and so com pletely weighted down with ice as to be helpless. II was necessary 10 tear away and cut away their ice armored garments.
