T TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
{ of the
gf FRONT IER NURSING SERVICE, Inc.
  for the Fiscal Year
 J May 1, 1950 to April 30, 1951
. 5 PREFACE
‘ As has been our custom for more than a quarter century,
2 __ we present our annual report of the fiscal affairs and of the field
’ ’ of operations of the Frontier Nursing Service to our trustees,
j I members, and subscribers. ·
 gi We have, as in previous years, divided our report into two
  sections. One section is about money, and one section about
§  work.
  I.
Y . FISCAL REPORT
  Our annual audit is so detailed, and therefore so voluminous,
  that we have not been able for a number of years to print it in
  full in this Bulletin or in any other publication we could afford
‘* to issue. Our auditors follow their Exhibits and schedules with
ll a list of the more than four thousand subscribers to the Frontier
  Nursing Service, and the amount each gave typed after his
 jg name. Not only is it impossible to print all these names but many
  subscribers do not want them printed. However, all are audited
  annually. The figures that follow are taken from the Exhibits
-’ and schedules of the last audit. We have divided these figures
  into four categories, each one covering one page, to make easier
P; reading. The auditors’ own Summary is the first category. The
; second is their list of Endowments and Reserves. The third
5 category covers all Revenue Receipts. The fourth category we
p have put into two columns—to the left the expenditures of the
F, last fiscal year taken from the audit, and to the right our Budget
  for the current fiscal year based on last fiscal year’s expenditures.
  . The trustees adopt this Budget at their annual meeting before
 ..` it is put into operation. Our expenditures last year exceeded
. those of the year before by $22,078.10. Although they have
  risen steadily since the war, this is the first year in which there
if was so large an increase. We feel that a budget at the present
[  ‘ time is unpredictable because we have no way of knowing
·L_ whether the costs of the essential things we are authorized to
buy will continue to rise or, happily, might fall.
I Under a fifth category, called Inventory, we account for
  the properties which our auditors value at $$63,394.52. All five
Fi categories are given in sequence on the following pages.

REPORT OF OPERATIONS

I ° MEDICAL AND SURGICAL  
' During the first few months of the past iiscal year we had  
no permanent Medical Director. We engaged Dr. Paul E. Adolph,  3
as {ine a man as he was a surgeon, who came to us in mid- .
September. In less than six weeks he was stricken by a coro- ;
nary attack, with the result that he and the Frontier Nursing T
Service were told he could not carry work like ours again. Dr. p
Rex V. Blumhagen, whom We got to know through the Adolphs,
- came to us in November as acting Medical Director. He, his
wife, and two charming babies stayed with us on a temporary
basis, not only through the remainder of the past fiscal year, i
but until the arrival of our permanent Medical Director, Dr. F. 4
William den Dulk, on July 19 of the current fiscal year. _
During the past year, we depended on Dr. R. L. Collins and A
Dr. W. F. O’Donnell of Hazard for our surgical emergencies. _
They came to Hyden at any hour of the day or night in answer Z
to our calls and, as in other years, at no cost to us. They charged
our patients only such small fees as they could pay. It is Y.
impossible to express all of our immense gratitude to these two
men. For surgery, other than emergencies, we depended on the _.
clinics given us annually by Dr. Francis Massie and Dr. Eugene  2
Todd. Due to Dr. Massie’s unavoidable absence from Kentucky,
Dr. Todd was the only surgeon at the April clinic. He was ‘
assisted by the hospital staff he brought with him who, like  ,
the surgeons, give us their services. In May, just after the close
of the iiscal year, Dr. F. W. Urton of Louisville came back to Q
us for one of the tonsil clinics he has given us for years, during  
which forty children had the tonsillectomies they badly needed. ·‘ 
We wish to express our gratitude again to the physicians  T

  have accepted without charge patients and members of our
  staff sent down to them; to Dr. Harold G. Reineke of Cincinnati
  for reading, without charge, the X-ray pictures mailed to him
  from time to time; to the Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati,
which has continued to give free care to the children we have
, taken to them; and to the Kentucky Crippled Children’s Com-
g  mission, which has taken care of all of the children we referred
B to them.

ll  HYDEN HOSPITAL
  Our stone Hospital at Hyden was renovated during the early
 p months of the past fiscal year. Not only was the wing the nurses
i formerly occupied completely reconverted to hospital use, but
  many needed changes were made in the other wing. The whole
building was repainted inside from top to bottom—the first
H time it has all been painted at one time since it was built in
1928. The Mary Parker Gill Wing now has twelve maternity
beds and twelve bassinets. The Mary Ballard Morton Wing now
Y has thirteen cribs and beds for sick children and adults.
Hyden Hospital was occ
