FOREWORD TO URGENT NEEDS
by A Trustee  if
Urgent Needs was the last portion of this Bulletin edited by ] 
Mary Breckinridge the day before she died. The rest of the num-  g
ber was practically in shape for the printer under her personal *
supervision. This Foreword was to be incorporated into her V}
"Editor’s Own Page," a part of which she had already written. .
She thought it might be appropriate for her to do this for the
Spring edition since May marked the completion of the 40th year  V
of the life of the Frontier Nursing Service. She asked what I
thought about it, speaking with admiration of the Foreword
written for Urgent Needs last spring by Virginia Branham. I told
her I felt it would be wonderfully right if she, as Editor, wrote I
it this year. She decided to do so.
That was Saturday morning, May 15. We worked over the
lists of needs for about an hour. I read them to her and s`he made `
excellent suggestions for certain changes in her usual keen, Y
concentrated way. Her mind never wavered from the job at hand.
That evening, however, she was "desperately tired" as she told us  A
who were with her in her room before dinner. She did not wait  ·
to finish her "Editor’s Own Page," but evidently feeling the time  
had come to "step into the wings" she quietly and peacefully left  
us the next day, Sunday, which was not a working day anyway-  
how characteristic of her, who planned everything for the sake  I
of the work of the Service which was her life!  
The yearly pages of Urgent Needs were always very im-
portant to Mary Breckinridge and were carefully considered. The i
proper maintenance of the entire plant means the smooth func-  
tioning and maximum usefulness of the many Service activities. {
These needs were never more necessary than this Spring which p
she knew was starting a new decade of deep-rooted growth, ex-  ,
pansion and inevitable changes. This decade will take the FNS F
up to the half-century mark. None of us realized it would have  2
to start with the loss of its beloved Director, but no leader ever i
left behind her a more dedicated, competent and hard-working , 
staff or more devoted helpers in and outside the mountains to  
carry on her work. ij
Old and new friends of the FNS will want to contribute in  

 QUARTERLY BULLETIN 7
I some tangible way to this anniversary year in gratitude to its
.g great Founder and the- great work she launched and untiringly
 1 carried forward until the very day of her departure. The gifts
 i had already begun to come in as she wrote the following para-
 * graph for her "Edit0r’s Own Page":
, "We have been deeply gratiied to receive a number of re-
A sponses to our reference in the Winter Bulletin to our iirst full
. forty years of service. Some of our readers have sent a special
il gift of $40.00, a dollar for each of the forty years. Others have
sent sums ranging from small to large. These have given us an
encouraging start on the gifts in honor of our forty years of
, service. All these thoughtful contributions move us deeply."
URGENT NEEDS
HYDEN HOSPITAL PLANT
_ This consists of a number of buildings located on 4:1.15 acres
y of land, on a spur of Thousandsticks Mountain. The principal
 i buildings are the Hospital and Annex; Joy House (residence of
the Medical Director) ; Margaret Voorhies Haggin Quarters for
l Nurses; Mardi Cottage (quarters for the Frontier Graduate
 ` School of Midwifery); Bolton House; St. Christopher’s Chapel;
 1 an oak barn; employees’ cottage; Betty’s Box; and smaller build-
 : ings. Some of the most urgent needs for this boundary are listed
  below:
 . 1. SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT FOR HOSPITAL,
 ‘ HAGGIN QUARTERS, AND MARDI COTTAGE:
( steel tank, with equipment installed in it; sewer
J lines from Hospital and from Haggin Quarters
ly (500 feet) ; electrical wiring to plant, etc.—equip-
» ment, materials and labor .......................................... $8,522.11
9 Note: This plant was so desperately needed last
" summer that we could not wait for the spe-
1  cific money to be given for it. The sewer
  lines in the drainage fields had pulled apart
if so many times and the hillside had slipped
{  so badly that it was impossible to keep the
  lines intact. We had to take the money out
  of our reserves to meet the cost of installing

 8 FRONTIER NURSING snnvxcm  
this plant and connecting the Hospital and  i
Haggin Quarters with it. Now we hope with {
all our hearts that gifts will be given this  
year for this plant——it truly is a godsend—— .
so that we may put the money back in  I
reserves. `
