In the past two and half years
fifty-six star route" mail carriers
have lost their lives while in per-
Torrance of duty.
To many a lonely outpost of civ

rier 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
delivery a hazardous occupation.
These men are not paid salaries, but
work under contract, awarded after
competitive bidding.
Many Routes Difficult
Among the most dangerous star
routes served by rural carriers are
those from Newport to Otter Rock,
Ore; Ellison Bay to Detroit Har-
Dor, Wis; Rocky Bar to Atlanta,
Ida, and from Sandusky to Kelley's
Island, Middle Base and PUTIN
Bay, o.
On the Idaho route mentioned,
deliveries are made by carriers
travelling on snowshoes during
winter months, packing fifty pounds
Of mail, and not infrequently have
they been caught by snowSlides and
swept to death.
Rescued From Ice Trap
Between Ellison Bay and Detroit
Harbor, Wis, and from Sandusky,
o., to near by 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 haz-
ardous to carry on the service. A
number of carriers have met death
between these points.
Similar incidents illustrating the
hardihood and daring of the Unsung
men who risk their lives almost
daily that the mails may go through
appear often in the records of the
poStoffice department.
