‘ THE ROAD
,   We rejoice with our producer, Mr. Lee Bobker, President of
. Vision Associates, Inc., for the splendid recognition of our new
z f film, THE ROAD. With the permission of Vision Associates we
I quote from two letters written in April of this year.
{ From Atlanta, Georgia—April 8, 1968:
"We are very pleased to inform you of the great
success of your entry in the ATLANTA INTERNA-
TIONAL FILM FESTIVAL.
"After intensive semi—final judging sessions, your
{ film, THE ROAD, was selected as a top award winner
I at the Atlanta Festival. Your film received highest
honors in attainment of goal, photography, editing,
script and imagination."
From Washington, D. C.—April 25, 1968:
"It is a pleasure to inform you that your entry,
THE ROAD, has been screened by CINE juries and has
, been selected to receive a CINE Golden Eagle Certificate
as evidence of its suitability for international festival
= _ use.
Q ` "CINE will seek to place this film in one or more
Q   festivals in 1968 and 1969.
W "Please accept the congratulations of the entire
, CINE Board of Directors."
I I am frequently reminded of Mrs. Breckinridge’s remark,
_ "If you live in the forest the world comes to your door". Through
the many foreign guests who, over the years, have come to
observe the work of the FNS, the world has come to Wendover.
Our new film, THE ROAD, will be taking the FNS to the world.
The United States Information Agency is drawing up a contract
with the Frontier Nursing Service by which it will obtain foreign
. rights for the film. It was shown to regional officers of USIA
. and all agreed it should be translated and shown in the more
I than one hundred countries where the United States has an
. embassy.
. Hundreds of FNS friends have already seen THE ROAD.

a copy of the film. It is a 16 mm. sound nlm and it runs for forty  
minutes. It can be shown to large or small groups in a private
home or in an assembly hall. It does need a good operator of a 1
16 mm. sound projector. Any of our friends who wish to get a

, URGENT NEEDS
li Again we line up "U1·gent Needs" for the Spring Bulletin
and our hearts go out in deep gratitude to all of our readers
1 who so generously gave a total of $11,7 62.51 in response to this
_ column last year. Your gifts enabled us during the summer and
· fall, when the weather was good, to get on with all of the repair
. ` work for which money was given.
 . This year we are listing for the HOSPITAL only those items
I of repair and replacement which are the most essential for keep-
A ing the building in sound repair and for giving the best possible
` care to our patients. Buildings have to be kept painted. Our pri-
 R vate water system has to be kept in good repair. We need more
5 and more equipment to take care of more and more patients!
» Added paper work, largely due to our Medicare program, neces-
I sitates more clerical assistants and more office equipment. A
s copying machine is expensive; but it is cheaper than employing
_.  another trained and experienced typist——if we could find 0ne—;
and we haven’t office space for one more person. All equipment
. listed in this column will be transferred to the Mary Breckin-
[ ridge Hospital, for which plans are progressing steadily. The
`, assurance of a new, larger and well-equipped hospital enables
- ` our staff and our patients to accept with admirable patience the
A difficult circumstances under which they are now working and
1 being treated. Your gifts, large and small, will be a tremendous
— help; and they will make it possible for us to serve our patients
» better.
HYDEN HOSPITAL PLANT
This consists of a number of buildings located on 41.15 acres
f  of land, on a spur of Thousandsticks Mountain. The principal
buildings are the Hospital and Annex; Margaret Voorhies. Haggin
E Quarters for Nurses; Mardi Cottage (quarters for the Frontier
  Graduate School of Midwifery); St. Christopher’s Chapel; Joy
‘ House; Bolton House; an oak barn; employees’ cottage; Betty’s
  Box; and smaller buildings. Some of the most urgent needs for
 I this boundary are listed below:

WENDOVER l
At Wendover we continue to battle against underground .
movement on the hillside above the Big Log House and the O
Cabin, causing rock retaining walls to bulge, cisterns to crack;
and disrupting pipes in septic tank drain fields et cetera. Some
of our needs are due to the fact that replaceable parts for old
equipment are no longer available. We would not part with our i
present double-oven, coal-fired kitchen range if we could still get
essential parts for it—they are no longer manufactured and our _
reserve supply is now exhausted. We have no alternative but to p
ask for a new range of the same type, but a newer model; and
hope that it will be given to us before our last grate gives out!
The need for additional ofHce equipment is due to the increasing `

 QUARTERLY BULLETIN 11
.s
  amount of paper work. The magnitude of our accounting now
i demands a timesaving calculator; and we need additional type-
  I writers to save moving the ones we have from oiiice to oiiice—
  we have no spare to tide us over when one breaks down. With
4 our many old buildings, and many people in and out of them all
the time, it is inevitable that we must ask from time to time for
money to paint, lay new floor covering, buy curtains, slip covers
l and new appliances.
Our readers will rejoice with us that money for a new dairy
barn which we had to build in the fall, has been given us before
this Bulletin goes to press—we are most grateful for it.

to see whether or not it was what we needed

B space on our property without interfering
with pipe lines, trees or fencing. The only

ing the labor costs; and, although we break
bottles and flatten tin cans, a hole lasts only
two or three years, depending on the size we
were able to dig it. Nevertheless, these holes
- are essential to keep our property unclut-
tered.

TEEN -AGERS
I "Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, con-
tempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders, and
love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when others
A enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before
company, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers . . ."

OUR MAIL BAG
From a member of our New York Committee: "I enjoy the Bul-
letin so much. It’s as interesting as ever and always reflects the
FNS so warmly."
From a friend in Milwaukee: "How generous you all are with
yourselves as you offer a cup of water in His name. I have
enclosed a small check in thankfulness that there are such peo-
ple as you."
From a friend in Seattle: "Please renew my subscription to the
Frontier Nursing Service Quarterly Bulletin. It’s the mostest!
I read it from cover to cover."
From a recent guest: "The many miles of diflicult driving, the
competence of the highly trained personnel, the truly deep under- .
standing and kindness toward patients and their families, with I
no hint of condescension, is most impressive. The spirit of com- ‘
passionate service permeates your entire organization. My visit
at Frontier Nursing Service was a consoling experience." s
From a friend in Los Angeles: "The FNS brochure came to me
today. What a beautiful piece of publicity with its pictures and I
simple statements like the facets of a diamond! I read it through
at one sitting—al1 of it. Your brochure is a model document
with the best possible presentation of those needs. God grant
you success."
