Star Routes Face Out for Lack of Gas Fuel Curtailment Threatens Rural Mail Service
Postmaster Nugent warned that drastic gasoline shortages endanger rural star routes and special delivery, with possible shift to ordinary mail. A Solvay carrier may stop today. seven star routes face reduced trips as coupons cut and fuel remains tight. Special messengers, denied extra rationing, risk pay loss if they cannot deliver, forcing carriers to cover until relief arrives.
