Another method of bringing tele-phone service to more rural families It was not extensively used in ruralareas. New techniques and facilitieshave been developed since the warand have proved satisfactory in fieldtests. Power and telephone organi-zations are arranging for their wid-est possible application.

Some potential telephone custom-ers live out of reach of both existingelectric power and telephone is particularly true in westernUnited States, where there are vaststretches of ranch country. To reachthese remote spots. Bell Laboratoriesengineers have been experimentingwith radio telephony for rural tele-phones.
