The blizzard of Saturday worked havoc with the rural mail carriers, but the men all stuck to their jobs at a great discomfort to themselves.

Basil L. Durbin, who carried mail southeast of Warsaw, after he had completed his route at dark stalled. A car was sent out from the Warsaw post office to relieve him and it also stalled. Durbin was forced to walk the entire 10 miles back into Warsaw and arrived late Saturday evening.
