The Newspaper Must
Go Through
There is nothing like having a good record and Walter P. Jenkins of Culpeper has established somewhat of an outstanding one. Mr. Jenkins is agent for the Washington Post daily and Sunday newspaper in the Culpeper, Warrenton, Amissville area, and has had this route for 26 years. In that length of time he has failed to complete his delivery twice, both times because of you-knowwhat---snow. The first time this occurred was several years ago in a severe March storm and the other time you guessed it, the Sunday blizzard of ’66. On both of these occasions Mr. Jenkins covered part of his territory but was unable to complete his rounds. The only other times he did not make his deliveries was because he had no product to deliver, the paper was on a strike which lasted two days. He has not had a day off in the past 16 years or spent a whole night at his home in that time. The papers are shipped by truck to Culpeper and Mr. Jenkins picks his up about 2 a.m. except on Sunday when they arrive around midnight. He makes his route of 116 miles (170 on Sunday) and is back home by 7:30 a.m.
