RURAL DELIVERY
TQ FARM RES I DENTS
gaily Star route mail
service to Vlas ilia and
waypoints is now under
active consideration by
postal authorities, it
was announced this week
by Mrs» Beatrice Hunt
ley, Palmer postmistresse
Mrsc Huntley discussed
the plan with Paul '7ar
ber, district superin
tendent of Railway Mail
Service, who promised to
take up the matter with
authorities in Seattle
in the near future.
Under the proposed
plan, mail delivery
would be routed to Wn
silla by the Finger Lake
road, and would return
by way of Matanuska. Box
deliveries would bo made
to homes located along
the route. The plan
would .facilitate deliv
ery.for rural residents,
and would help relieve
the congestion in the
Palmer postoffice.
Mrs. Huntley said a
Star route would in no
way interfere with the
work of the Wasilla post
office•

in Palmer on an inspec
tion trip lest week, was
presented with a map, on
