Thank you, Lord,
For the laughter

For the love

For the patience

For the endurance

But most of all for courage il
that gives life meaning

?l URGENT NEEDS
V By Kenneth Palmer, MBA
Ha
" We express our appreciation to the many generous friends of
, Frontier Nursing Service who gave donations and gifts during the
'Y past year to meet so many of our urgent needs.
As we begin this fiscal year, the Frontier Nursing Service is
é faced with a projected operational deficit, financial restrictions
and an increasing cost of operation due to minimum wage
.5- increases in salaries and the increased cost of operating supplies.
gv 1 At the same time as it faces such financial difficulties, the
;` 1 Frontier Nursing Service has many urgent needs that must be met
during the fiscal year. These needs include equipment, tools,
1 materials and repairs required by the service for the operation and
maintenance of its facilities. There is a special need this year to
ji repair and upgrade the centers and living facilities throughout
Frontier Nursing Service. Many of these facilities have not had
adequate maintenance. We hope that we will receive sufficient
jx money this year to improve the living and operating conditions at
these facilities.
We are striving to reduce costs and increase income in order to
reduce the projected operational deicit but we do not have the
money for many of the urgent needs we face. We request your
‘ financial support through gifts and donations to enable us to
I provide for the equipment, tools, materials and repairs that are so
urgently needed during this year at Frontier Nursing Service.

Q ONEIDA - DAY ONE
Q By Verna M. Potter
( _ The mountainsides were beautiful with redbud, cherry, apple,
I dogwood and other spring blossoms glorifying the lovely morning
of Monday, April 5, 1976. It was early enough that some of the
j mountain fog, silvering beneath the promised sun, and river mist
— gathering over the wide river reaches, lightly veiled some of the
valleys. The drive between Wendover and Oneida was so beautiful
an awakening of a spring morning that it made me wonder what
, an awakening in heaven must be if God engineered such beauty
l for man on earth.
E Down Wendover Road, along the Middle Fork of the Kentucky
° River; past the young people shooting baskets on the outdoor court
before classes; over the Middle Fork bridge and on into Hyden
j (parking spaces available along the main street only because of
the early hour), through Hyden and past Mary Breckinridge
i Hospital settling comfortably against Old Hospital Hill, and on to
the access road to the Daniel Boone Parkway. Ten cents toll at the
beginning and ten cents toll at Route 66 pay for a quick trip which
’ includes unending colorful pictures every inch of the way.
T Off the "Boone" and onto Route 66, north for fourteen miles
along the course of the Red Bird River and the tiny village of
Oneida appears where the Red Bird River and Goose Creek join to
form the South Fork of the Kentucky River.
l Skip Spell and Cindy Sherwood (the nurses), Carol Reed, the
( Clinic Secretary, and Kizzie (pronounced Kissie) Hensley who
i "keeps the place up" had arrived before me. Some of the neighbors
`A were there to join Pastor George Bausum and the clinic staff in a
prayer of dedication and to ask God’s blessing on the staff and all
g who made the Center possible.
lf, Skip ’n Cindy (pronounced together like ham ’n eggs) had
’ worked closely with the Oneida community and the Committee
- long enough to recognize the enthusiasm and the hard work
invested in the Clinic proj ect. Carol lives up the Red Bird River a
piece and enters into the philosophy ofthe F.N.S. subscribed to by
Skip ’n Cindy and fits into the organization pattern as if she’s had
a drink some time or the other from the Middle Fork.
. The people of Oneida Community drifted in and out of the
freshly painted, polished, and equipped Clinic all day, some to

io Faowmza NURSING smwicr ,
"take the tour" through the rooms and some to "see the nurse". As _
in the beginning of any new venture, a few supplies hadn’t been
delivered. The process of working out practical and time-saving YA;
routines, from the arrival of a patient to the finishing of the
records and forms, had been worked out in theory, but in actual
practice the usual accomodations to space and efficiency had to be
considered. I
Some time during the middle of the day (not one of us was
watching a clock, but things slowed down), the whole staff
gathered in the large and pleasant waiting room and ate a lunch
which included some cold fried chicken Opal Morgan had sent
along from Wendover with me. .
At 5:30, I left Skip ’n Cindy ’n Carol still busy at their desks .
finishing reports and records. Ruth Blevins and Susan Hoeffel I
had invited me to have dinner with them and spend the night at
Brutus District, not as far from Oneida as Wendover, since I
planned to spend the next day at the new Clinic. Kizzielives about
three miles up the road to Brutus and planned to walk home to
Little Bullskin, but, instead, rode with me to within sight of her
home.
It was a long day for all of us, but a happy and satisfying one.
Oneida Nursing Center, a new concept and adaptation of the
Districts and Centers existing in the Frontier Nursing Service
system, has been opened to serve the people of the surrounding
area. The emphasis has been placed on ambulatory care, the
people getting to the Clinic. Real emergencies will be seen outside
the Clinic but the main effort will be to provide as complete a
health care center as possible for the community.
THE BABY-SITTER
"Dear," said the voice on the telephone when the young mother
answered, "this is Mom. I’m calling to find out if Dad and I could i
leave your children with you and Dave tonight. We’ve been invited
out for the evening."

Nursing Service City Committees, such as Boston with its M
Christmas Preview, Philadelphia with its Chinese Auction, New °
York with its Bargain Box, the Blue Grass Committee had joined 1
with the Keeneland Pony Club to sponsor the Post-Time Horse
Show to be held in Lexington August 12-15, 1976, for the benefit of
Frontier Nursing Service. The Post-Time Horse Show is an "A" I
show on the mid-west circuit and it will take place on the grounds I
of the new Fasig-Tipton Sales Company on the Newtown Pike. It F
is expected that the show will attract between four and five l
hundred horses and will include, for the first time, "breeding
classes". This means that if a Thoroughbred breeder has a good
looking weanling, yearling or mare, it can be shown "in hand" _
which gives the breeder an added chance to show his breeding ,
stock to the public. Mr. Kerr introduced the Blue Grass chairmen, ,
Mrs. Petter and Mrs. Holloway, and Mr. Robert Brewer, Chair-
man of the Post-Time Horse Show, and asked for help from i
interested people in seeking class, program and trophy sponsors. i_
Everyone was cordially invited to attend the Show in August. T
On behalf of the Board of Governors, Miss Ireland presented '
Miss Browne with a lovely pin as an expression of gratitude for A
her work with FNS. The Director, Dr. W. B. Rogers Beasley, began z
his report saying how much he appreciated the honor and
privilege of being the director of Frontier Nursing Service. He _
introduced staff present at the meeting and announced the I
appointment of Miss Evelyn Peck as Associate Director of the
Service. Miss Peck, who attended the meeting, will begin work in i
July. Dr. Beasley discussed the highlights of the past year and
spoke of some of the plans for the coming months, including a ,
Primary Care Workshop to be held in late July at which Secretary `
Dawson of the Department of Human Resources will be the ;,
keynote speaker. Dr. Beasley introduced the members of the FNS .
Advisory Committee who were present and offered grateful
thanks for all the help given him by the Board, the Trustees and _
friends who continue their financial support of the Service and F
their interest in our program. ,
Miss Ireland closed the meeting with thanks to the Mary g
Breckinridge Hospital Auxilliary for their hard work and to the
Blue Grass Committee for a most successful meeting.

Many hospital directors in Kentucky will be ever grateful for
‘ the knowledge and wisdom shared with them by Hasty W.
Riddle during his years of distinguished service as executive vice
I president of the Kentucky Hospital Association. His response to
. calls for help was always courteous and kind.

A resident of the Wendover community.

` Florence Booker Rawleigh, who is now chairman of our Louisville

The nurse-midwifery profession lost one of its most courageous [
members when Hattie Hemschemeyer died in March of this A
year. She was the executive director of the first school of nurse- J
midwifery in the United States, started by Maternity Center {
Association in 1932. Miss Hemschemeyer served her profession as .
the first president of the American College of Nurse-Midwives in _
1955. We will miss her wise counsel and the generous support she s;
gave FNS. T
