—Shelley .:
l l The devil, with sad and sober sense on his grey face, tells the rulers of  
the world that the misery which disiigures the life of great societies is  
beyond the reach of human remedy. A voice is raised from time to time 5
, in answer: a challenge in the name of the mercy of God, or the justice of  
i nature, or the dignity of man. _
· ——J. L. and Barbara Hammond, Lord Shaftesbury  _
  Great men are very disturbing to the world. ..
‘ _ -—Goethe Z_
 l When Mrs. Roosevelt first asked me years ago to dine at I
  the White House it was for a family dinner with her and the j 
President and Miss Le Hand. Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt led me to lf 
Q talk about our people here in the Kentucky mountains. The ¤
I President had ridden through a good part of our mountain coun-  
 . try on horseback in his youth. He was concerned, deeply con- ~
" cerned, over getting roads built, over the development of forests, 5 Q
over possible economic outlets for the people. He did not ask  .-
me a single political question. As he talked I realized that he Q,
cared about our people and their welfare. I remember many .
things he said to me but I shall not quote them. It is not unsuit- bl
able to say that he was struck with one thing I told him. An 3
elderly and most respectable woman had come to me to ask my

help in trying to get a son-in-law out of trouble with the Federal q
{ authorities—a trouble into which he had fallen ignorantly and *
~ not criminally. I asked her, "Where was he raised‘?" She an- y
5; swered, "He warn’t raised. He just jerked hisself up." Mr.  
3  Roosevelt wanted to see all American children decently raised,  
Y  in fact all children everywhere. It hurt him that any child i
J V should be neglected, that any people should be insecure and i
.  `* hungry.
  When the President bade me goodbye he said, "It has been
 A grand meeting you." I answered then, as I would now, "It was
  glorious meeting you, Mr. President."
—   When he died the voice of mourning was heard from people
` the world over. It is a prophetic voice, looking toward the time
·. when world brotherhood shall put a stop to world destitution.
  "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no
Q` man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and -
  tongues .... They shall hunger no more."
  To us in America has fallen the honor of giving people their
  iirst world citizen-—one whom they accepted in his lifetime as
Z theirs as well as ours. Our Washington was the leader of a
  young and loosely-knit people. Lincoln and Lee each led a part
 . of a divided nation. Roosevelt’s leadership has been accepted
l ` beyond the seven seas and unto the uttermost parts of the earth.
  It may not be until history, the poignant history in which we live .
Q today, has passed through many decades that a biographer will
Q find the key to unlock the secret of Roosevelt’s influence. First
” will come the adulators to distort and blur even the outlines of
  his person. Then will come the debunkers. These last will
3  reason: "Why, this man made mistakes as we do, he had failings
  like us; therefore, we are on a level with him." Perhaps the key
gi when it is found will be something very simple because there is a
'° childlikeness in all greatness, and we know that childlikeness is `
lg g the key to the Kingdom of Heaven. A
  in "Like a bairn to its mither,
T A_wee birdie to its nest,
_ A I fain would be gang1n’ noo
= Unto my Faether’s breast;
] For He gathers in His arms
S Helpless, worthless lambs like me,
{ An’ carries them H1mse1' ·
Q To His ain countree."

E E., holiday isvoften asked, "What else do you do besides ride horse- *
E ii, back over mountain trails, deliver babies and.care for the sick , l
{E   amongst those interesting people ?"
E i Doubtless she replies by telling some of her more exciting
-¤ § experiences on the district. She tells of her hobbies, her dog,
g g her flowers. She says that she reads, knits, listens to the radio
gg   and enjoys the brief visits of couriers and guests. Then with a
gg   smile she concludes, "You see, I run an Outpost Center and the
(L ij days never seem to have quite time enough for everything. One
fg   always looks forward to tomorrow."
E { It is to be suspected that the questioners conjure up a de-
l 2   lightful mental picture of the nurse, returning after her hours
°" QQ of district rounds and nursing duties to the indulgence of her
E 5 hobbies in the peace and shelter of the Center. Actually such a
§   picture is not quite true to fact.
J, l "Running a Center" is rich in experience. It can be fun!
g   It is, however, neither simple nor easy. It requires constant
2 J forethought and consists of an important series of tasks whose
§   · accomplishment is not realized without a good deal of effort.
g { There is the house, sturdily built, with cellar, attic, living
§ i room, kitchen, bedrooms, bath, dispensary and clinic waiting
g   room. Like all houses, it has to be kept up and, while the nurse
2 .;· is its tenant, it is her responsibility.
°" Q There are floors to keep polished, rooms to be swept and —
é . dusted, beds to be made and windows washed. The clinic lino-
? e 3 leum, over which innumerable muddy or dusty boots tramp daily,
g ,3 requires endless scrubbing. The oil lamps, for there is no electric
gn   light, have to be trimmed and filled. The kitchen range, which
G, i` burns the soft coal that gives such wonderful heat but produces
Q   scuttlesful of soot, must be cleaned daily, else there will be NO
,,, i HOT WATER, or worse yet, the grates may burn out and col- °
Lg { lapse on the coldest day of winter.

  A second pair of hands is, therefore, indispensable even  
y though they are only those of an untrained, young girl; for the ,
,, district nurse-midwife must devote a large share of her day to ii
  rounds and nursing duties. She returns, after hours in the sad-  
Q. dle, with her horse as weary and muddy or hot and dusty as she  
; | is herself. He has to be unsaddled, thoroughly groomed and fed y
  before she can go up from the barn to the house. She cannot  
l   hope to cope day after day with a cold stove, unfilled lamps and V .
 { an untidy clinic. "
  This second pair of hands helps, too, with other daily fea- j 
`. tures of "Running a Center." One of the Center’s greatest as- l
  sets is the Service cow and, if the nurse is wise, she also keeps a  
  few chickens. The cow will produce milk and butter, but not g
 L unless she is cared for properly. She has to be fed, she has to i
‘ have gallons of water, and each morning and evening she has to i
°  be milked. The milk must be strained and put away and, two or {
  three times a week, butter is churned. Chickens supply eggs 1
 S and fryers but they too require feeding and at night must be ;
 i rounded up and shut in the chicken house, safe from marauding Q.
Al rats and hoot owls.
  It is to be hoped that the nurse has a barn boy who will {
  come daily to clean the stalls and put down fresh sawdust for  
  bedding and, in the winter, will shovel paths and carry out fur- n`
", mace ashes; for these things, too, are part of Center running. ;
 *4 Then there has to be food, food for the household, food for  
· guests and for work hands. Milk from the cow and eggs from ;
  the chickens help, but cow and chickens require grain, or dairy l
  feed and clover hay, which must be purchased and delivered to
t the Center. v  
 { The tiny local store will provide staples: Hour, sugar, salt,  
if  etc., and, once every week or so, in good weather, the neighbor’s 4
N  truck, which has been "out" the twenty miles to the village, will
i bring back oranges, bacon, coffee and a few luxuries in response `
| to a carefully compiled order. Locally, the nurse "trades" for a x
q bushel of apples, plums or potatoes, a hindquarter of lamb, a ._ 
i "slab of side meat." Likewise she may "trade" for lettuce, toma-  
{ toes, beans, beets, carrots, cabbage and corn; or perhaps she {
\ has her own garden. If she has a garden she negotiates for the ;
r plowing and helps with the planting, cultivating and harvesting;

  At any rate, she plans to can all surplus against the time when g
J there will be no gardens and when no butchering is being done. i·
°` Therefore, she and her second pair of hands spend many evening  
  hours filling glass jars with vegetables, fruit and meat.  
€·  The outpost nurse arranges for the center’s fuel, three cords ,
  of wood, sixteen tons of coal, to be cut or dug locally and deliv- x
  V ered during the "slack season" between hoeing and harvesting.
`_` She plans her kerosene supply carefully so that the huge drum
 _ of oil can be filled at a time when roads are open to truck travel.
1  She orders grain and salt blocks for the horses, and arranges for
, haulage of the grain and hay over the narrow wood-road from
  the nearest railroad some twenty miles distant.
{ The nurse arranges for and supervises local workhands in
  the heavier jobs of running a Center. There is the fencing to be
i gone over frequently lest the neighbors’ baby pigs find their way
4 _ through and root up the pastures. There are water gaps to be
il repaired where a log or rocks crushed against them by heavy
Q "tides" have broken through. In spring the two acres or so of
  pasture have to be seeded; in summer, weeds pulled and cut; in
  autumn, fertilizer spread. Otherwise, there will be only rough .
A hillsides of rock and stubble. There are eaves troughs to be
ef, cleared of leaves so that the house will not leak; bushes to be
g cut back from windows and paths. ~
_‘ After the big rains when water is plentiful there are the
5 spring and the water tank to be cleaned and the fire hose tested.
§ Every valve must be gone over carefully so there will be no leak-
5 age of precious water in dry weather; every inch of frost-proof-
_» ing on outlet pipes must be inspected, so there will be no danger
  of freezing. The flues in the chimney have to be swept free of
` soot annually. The furnace and stove pipes are taken down in _
4 . summer and replaced with new ones if need be. The furnace
grates and iirebox are inspected for signs of cracking. It would
. be a calamity indeed were these to give out in winter.
Q V` The stalls and barn runway must be dug up and rebuilt. It
  is important for the animals to be comfortable! The inside of
the barn and the house cellar need a fresh coat of whitewash for
Q protection. That slide and tree, which the last storm brought
  down across the Center drive, must be cleared away before a

T A ·CADET’S DAY IN THE MOUNTAINS  
  by I
i OLEN M. BOYER, U.s.c.N.c. .
  Johns Hopkins Hospital and Frontier Nursing Service l
  It was the last day of January and a cold one indeed. Miss
°  Nola Blair (my supervisor) and I were getting ready for a long
 _ trip up Camp Creek. There were several prenatals to be seen,
  a four-year-old girl who had been "bad off" with the ilu, and
{ _ Aunt Rebecca, a wrinkled little old lady who was suffering from
{ extreme hypertension. She had had several strokes during the
· past few years and there wasn’t very much we could do for her,
l but the family did appreciate our coming in and looking after her.
i There were also health calls to be made on one or two families,
  but they might have to wait another day if we didn’t have time
I for them today. Health calls, like the poor, are always with us.
. If we can’t see a family one day we are quite sure of getting in
  that neighborhood again in a few days.
‘it'l As it happened, however, this wasn’t at all what our pro-
  gram included for that day. We had been expecting Chloe to
  call us for the past three weeks. Chloe is married to Jim Brack-
<· ett. Chloe and Jim had five children and now Chloe was waiting
' for the sixth.
  We had been visiting her regularly—sometimes every two
; to three days, even though she lived at the end of the district.
l She presented symptoms of mild toxemia which is the dread of
l every nurse—midwife. Preparations had been made for Jim to
  call us from the nearest telephone when she began "punishin’,"
.5- for Chloe had a history of too short labors for us to take any
  chances. _
· Just as we were mounting our horses, Erin and Gypsy, Jerry
· called from the Garden House saying that Jim had called and
,; wanted us to come right away. Blair quickly changed the gen-
_ eral nursing saddlebags to the midwifery saddlebags, told Miss
{Y Buck where we were going, and off we went. Erin knows the
{ air of excitement and he didn’t need to be coaxed. With him
  leading the pace Gypsy was quick to follow.
  Even if the sky had been clear it would have been too early

  for the sun to shine; and even if the sun had shone, it would  
 I hardly have given us warmth for the River Road is shady and  
 . cool on the warmest days. But it looked very much like snow,  _
 ll, and we knew we had a cold ride ahead of us. It is almost four  
i  miles to Chloe’s house over a rough and rocky road. The farther  
ill we went the longer it seemed. I was convinced it was ten miles {I
 { that day. . p `   P
i   We finally did get there, however; that is, almost there. To i 
 l get to the house one had to cross the river at a deep ford. Nor-  
  mally it can be crossed with not too much trouble. But there  
`, had been a "tide" earlier in the week and we didn’t like the looks  
  of it today. Besides, the weather was growing colder and colder `   '
  and the ice was fast freezing over the river. So we left the  
  horses on the bank and called Jim. He quickly came down on _:·
 . the opposite shore and paddled across in their homemade skiff .
l`  to meet us. 1
i "I shore am glad to see ya," said Jim, " ’cause I war afraid  
  . ya warn’t goin’ to git here in time. Chloe, she shore air punishin’  
bad."  
  By that time we were on the other side and up over the bank. . it
 , We entered the front door, which was the only door, and found i
  Chloe in bed just inside. The children were all huddled around  
  the fire with no other thought in their minds than to keep warm '{
it —which was understandable. While Jim rushed them off to the  
p I neighbors, Blair began getting ready for the stork. But either *
