The disastrous fire which swept the business district of Weeping Wa ter on the morning of Saturday, January 22, gave the Lincoln Tele phone and Telegraphy company's emergency facilities the first severe test they have had in many years a test which was met successfully. The company was one of the heaviest losers in the fire, all its cen tral office equipment being complete ly destroyed. Destruction of the switchboard left Weeping Water without means of communicating with the outside world and Manager Joe Abrams found it necessary to climb a pole and tap a line, at a little after 2 a. m., to get word of thed isaster to com to get word of the disaster to corn emergency switchboards, which had been in readiness for years in anti ciptation of just such contingencies, were loaded into trucks at the Lin coln warehouse. They arrived in Weeping Water an hour later. At the same time, crews of cable splicers and switchboardmen began to pour into Weeping Water. With the fire still raging, prepar ations to re-establish Weeping Wa ter's telephone service were begun. Temporary central office quarters wre secured in the small frame building which serves the town as a city hall, the emergency boards were placed and the work of making cable connections was started. Toll ser vice was established about 5 a. m. Full service on rural lines and par tial service on town lines was estab lished by 2 p. m., Saturday, and by 3 a. m. Sunday, full service was es tablished for the Weeping Water exchange. The Lincoln company is proud of the manner in which its emergency plans met this test. It is proud of the members of its repair crews, who cheerfully worked long hours under trying conditions, and it is doubly proud of Miss Shirley Bates, night operator, who gave a remarkable ex hibition of courage by remaining at her post to give warning to inmates of the burning buildings.
