intercommunication between inhabi-
tants of Tangier and Smith was mad


tants of Tangier and Smith was mad
visable at this time. What the tele-
phone Industry did was to concentrate
on working out a satisfactory service
by means of short wave radio.
1t was decided that the initial step
in this plan should be the establish
ment of speedy, dependable system
of communication between the main
land and the islands, as that was the
link which had been proved so vital
ly important through the unusually
frequent use Of the portable radio
telephone equipment. Several public
telephones will be located at strateg-
ic places on Tangier and Smith. A
call to the mainland will merely in
volve picking up receiver and sig
mailing the operator at the Crisfield
central office switchboard, where
control of the system is to be center
ed. Completion of the call will be
handled from Crisfield. Equally
simple will be call from Tangier to
Smith or Smith to Tangier. AS there
will be no direct circuit connecting
the islands, this type of call will also
be handled by the Crisfield operator
who acts as switching point and
rings whatever party is being called
on the neighboring island.
With these basic details of the
system worked out, telephone engi-
neers turned their attention to solu-
ton of tricky problem which had
arisen from the fact that both Tan
gier and Smith would be operating
on the same radio wave length.
These telephone men of science knew
that conversations being carried on
from Tangier Island to the mainland,
for instance, could be picked up from
Smith simply by listening in on tele
phone from that island. Research
uncovered the answer in the form of
a lockout switch controlled by the
operator at Crisfield. If call is
made from Tangier to the mainland,
the Crisfield operator will "shut Off
Smith Island and no calls can be
made or received from there. On
completion Of the Tangier call, the
operator will open the Smith Island
radio channel, restoring normal COM
munication.
For intercommunication between in
habitants of Tangier or Smith, tele-
phone engineers have equipped each
telephone with a key switch. This
will be operated by the telephone
user who switches it one way for a
call over the radiotelephone system
and another way for communication
with person on the same island.
Telephone officials emphasizes that
a communication system such as that
planned for Tangier and Smith
doesn't spring up overnight. Plans
can't be made, estimates prepared,
studies conducted and intricate and
necessary equipment developed and
installed in a matter of months. It's
hoped the system will be in operation

for use this winter. Construction
work has been speeded up with this
in mind. But even if it isn't, the
Tangiermen and Smithmen will have
their portable radiotelephone set-up
with which to maintain contact be-
tween their islands and the main
land. And they'll be secure in the
knowledge that in future winters the
system now being installed will serve
as an effective defense weapon a.
gainst all the forces Old Man Win
ter has to throw against them.

Funeral services and burial were

father, Michael Sullivan, was one
of the first settlers I'm the Missouri
river valley near Helena.
Dan Sullivan was married in 1874
to Levisa Jane Raney, and to this
union were born IL children, of whom
survive. After residing at Townsend
for 10 years, Sullivan moved in 1885
to site is miles southwest of Shelby
on the MariaS river bottom, where
he established one of the largest OF
the old-time cattle ranches. Soon after
the railroad was built through there
Sullivan established the first hotel In
Shelby, called the Merchants hotel.
which burned down and was then re-
built and named the Sullivan hotel.
This later structure was also burned
and the new building which supplant-
ed 1t was for many years one Of the
largest hotels In north Montana.
Sullivan sold out to M. o. Gordon
in 1926 and then moved to Camas Hot
Springs, where he had spent most Of
his time since in the interest Of his
health. His wife preceded him in death
In 1928.
Immediate survivors are four sons,

Toward each other the whales are
friendly. They travel together in

minute animal life floating or SWIM

With the exception of the sperm
whale, all whales are victims of the
killer, orca, or grampus, the toothed
whales. The killer is member of
the dolphin family. When their foe
appears in their midst the whales
are too frightened to make an ef-
fort to escape. Perhaps they are
well aware of the horrible death
they are facing.
More than 1,050 years ago the

The total food allowance for each

Whales are warm -blooded man,
mails. They bring forth their young.
nurse them, and show definite af-
lection toward them. Some authori-
ties still maintain that whales are
related to elephants. They give as
a reason for this belief, all whales
are hairless, with but a few stiff
hairs or bristles about the head of
some Species-the last veStige Of an
cestral fur. In this respect their
hides are alike.
Whales are different from land
mammals in many respects, of
course, since they spend all their
time in the water. Naturally they
have through the centuries adapted
themselves for this life Where
once were paws there are flippers,
and these enable the whale to
ascend, descend or turn in water.
The hind legs have disappeared abb
solutely and the tail has become
flattened and extended on either
side to become hukes. The body is
streamlined.
The distribution of whales is wide,
since they appear throughout the
