Tho telephone equipment is operated from huge storage bat¬ teries which are re-charged with electricity from the power com¬ pany. This i.s one cf the reasons why when there is a severe elec¬ trical storm and power service may he disrupted, the telephone ser\ice  is   not.
In Decemh)or when the celebra¬ tion of direct dialing comes to Huntiey, President Brill will make a telephone call free of charge to any place he wishes by using the  direct   dialing system.
This is just one of the ways the telephone company continues to improve communications in the area which it .serves.
