WHEN 1T WAS BAD
To the Editor Of The Stor:

and his father showed up at
my door with The Sunday
Star. Those of us who write,
report and edit the news APP
preciate the extra effort made
by carrier boys and their
parents upon these occasions.
After all, there wouldn't be
very much point in all this
reporting and writing and
editing. if the end product
were not delivered to the
people who might like to read
it. We salute all the Steve
McGuires and their parents
on emergency occasions like
these!

I don't know his name, but
I do want to pay tribute to
him. I mean that typical
American youngster who de-
livers The Sunday Star to
my home in Alexandria. On
last Sunday he outdid the
postman who defies the sun,
rain. etc. Before IL o'clock
he trudged through the snow
to deliver The Sunday Star.
1t was the only Sunday paper
! received. and this is a note
of appreciation for this young
ster's performance beyond
the call of duty" Anything
performed on last Sunday
was indeed beyond the call
of duty"
F. Edw. Hebert,
Representative From
Louisiana.
Many of your carrier boys
rate accolades for making
home deliveries of The Star
under the most adverse
weather conditions we have
experienced in many years.
I would like to commend es-
pecially the carrier boy as
signed to the area in Lake
Bancroft, where I reside. Al
though our community took
on the appearance Of Little
America" with snowdrifts
ranging UP to 3 feet in depth
this resourceful and con-
scientious young man some
how managed to overcome
the elements and make his
delivery tat the front door
each evening with his Gus
tomary promptness. Certainly
this lad, and others like, him,
are to be. lauded for their
enterprise.

II I had a complaint I
wouldn't hesitate to make it.
By the same rule, I want to
tell you what excellent serv-
ice our carrier, Bill Dashiell,
is giving us. / watched him
Sunday morning as he broke
a path to every house in our
block. Our houses are about
rs feet from the sidewalk,
and he went through Is to "a
inches of snow to get to each
place, then climbed eight to
10 steps to reach those with
porches. He deposited each
paper in the most protected
place. It was nice to sit COM
fortably inside and read The
Sunday Star. Thanks to Bill
and others like him.
Mrs. James Z. Steele.

In spite Of the heavy snow,
my Star was at the door Sum-
day morning. Such excellent
service is indeed appreciated.
and the carrier boy should be
highly commended. He'll get
a larger tip than usual when
he collects this month.
Clyde Saul.
We have lived here 81
years, and never have we had
such service as we get from
Bruce d. Fales. Since he
took over the route. we've
never missed a paper. You
could almost set a clock by
him. How wrong / was the
morning Of the snow. when
/ told my husband. This is
one day we'll surely never
get our paper" The Sunday
Star looked even better than
usual on such a bitter day.
The front page is going into
my little boys scrapbook, be-
cause 1t was his sixth birth
day.

I think you should know
about Johnny Trask who

He always gives excellent
