VETERAN LETTER CARRIERS SHU YOUNG AND ACTIVE No more interesting item has been printed in recent times in Duluth than the following from The Herald's "Twenty Years Ago" column Tues day last: ".Branch No. 114 o? the better Car riers' association installed its offi cers for the ensuing term last eve ning. Edward A. Coffin, state vice president, was installing officer. The new officers are as follows: Presi dent, R. G. Malcolm vice president, Ed Halvorson secretary, Jerome S. Kriz treasurer, Fred Blais sergeant at-arn s, Frank Cole collector, R. D. Rice trustees, John Hennebery, A. E. Hcimbach and T. G. Thompson." The thing that strikes us most about the above paragraph is the fact that every person named therein is still employed at the Duluth post office, is still doing a man's work, and is still as active as he was twenty years ago. We don't believe there is another situation like this in the country where all of the men are still living, are working under the same roof and for the same em ployer. R. G. Malcolm, the president of twenty years ago, is carrier of Route No. 15, running through the whole sale. district and in the neighborhood of Fifth avenue avenue West. Pie is a veritable bunch of--energy, and al though 53 years of age he trots the younger carriers a merry heat. We know him best as "Bob." A. E.

He holds up his end .with the youngest. En his kid days he was known as "Hally," and the boys about the post office still greet hiim by that endearing nickname. Jerome S. Kriz was secretary of the local letter carriers in the olden days, and he is not one day older now than he was then. One would not think so -if he noticed "Jerry" serve his route, which is No. 39, on First street beginning, at, the Wolyin building. He leads his fellow'car riers in the sale of War Savings Cer tificates. Fred Blais, who was treasurer 20 years ago,, is still carrying the same route that he did then, No. 27, which includes the Providence and Torrey buildings, and the Hotel St. Louies. 'Treddie's" boy is also a car rier, and was granted leave in AprH last tto enlist in the United States Marines. The boy is "Somewhere on the Atlantic" chasing submarines.
