Postal Routes Extended

   Beginning this morning the postal routes on trains Nos. 41 and 42, 
between Lynchburg and Bristol, will be extended to Washington, and in 
the future all the trains between Lynchburg and Washington will carry 
mail. This will mean that ten postal clerks who have been making 
Lynchburg their terminus will now have the end of their run at 
Washington. Nineteen men will be required to handle the mail on the 
new route which will be known as Washington & Bristol, nine of the 
number begin transferred from Atlanta, Ga.
