 — QUARTERLY BULLETIN s
. A NURSE SPEAKS
  Foreword: We are pleased to have permission from Miss
  Evelyn Peck, Director of the School of Nursing at St. Luke’s
6 Hospital, New York City, to quote her remarks to the Graduating
, Class in September 1965. Many of our readers will remember
, that this is Mrs. Breckinridge’s old School of Nursing. We know
that Mrs. Breckinridge would agree wholeheartedly with Miss
V Peck’s remarks and would be proud that her School still believes
that the art of nursing cannot be learned without training.
  "I was recently asked by a member of the ‘Hospital Family’
J what the initials on the medallion in the center of the St. Luke’s
  Hospital School of Nursing Pin stood for. When worn correctly,
. the initials are: T.S.N. and they stand for: ‘Training School for
E Nurses.’ When the name of the school was changed, the pin was
l i not. The word ‘Training’ in the minds of many nursing educators
  today, is an instant red iiag for heated discussion. One should
, not use such a term.
H "Why not use a term which adequately describes in part
that which takes place? Your educational program has given
you knowledge; you have gained skill and you have been in ‘train-
_ ing for this day.’ Mr. Gordon and Mr. Cooper, our newest astro-
fl nauts, have knowledge, have skill, but without their ‘training’
,   for the Gemini V shot, would not have been with us for their news
lg: conferences today. In all education, there is repetition. The
°" connotation of the word ‘training’ leads some to believe that the
  only learning offered or taking place is on the job. You know
' this is not true, for the classroom, the formal lecture, discussion
5 and seminar have been a part of your daily life at school. You
~ have had the opportunity of using your new-foimd knowledge
  in every way as you have worked with your patients and your
` instructor. You are ready to begin the practice of nursing. Your
E  education, your training and your personal acceptance of enter-
Y ing a profession which serves all members of society, places
upon you the responsibility of continued growth as you serve
with faith, hope and love."

 THE ANNUAL MEETING ¢
The forty-second annual meeting of Frontier Nursing Service, ,
Incorporated, was held at the Louisville Country Club, Louisville, =.
Kentucky, on Wednesday, June 1, 1966. Approximately one hun- Q
dred and twenty-five Trustees, members and friends attended the "
luncheon meeting which had been arranged by the Louisville `
Chairman, Mrs. Henry R. Heyburn, and her Committee. Friends ¤`
in Louisville arranged hospitality for the guests from out-of-state °
and for members of the FNS staff who were able to attend. i
In addition to the members of the Executive Committee who  
came from Washington, Boston, Cincinnati, Louisville, Lexington, ,
Paris and Berea, we had the pleasure of seeing three Trustees ;
from out-of—state—Miss'He1en S. Stone of New York, Miss Fred- ;
ericka Holdship of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, and Mr. Joseph  
Carter of Elmhurst, Illinois. We also had the joy of welcoming if
Mrs. Morris Cheston of Philadelphia and Mrs. Frazier Wilkins l
of Washington who represented their committees. We were _g,
delighted that Mrs. Cheston could return to the mountains with ll
us for a short visit to Wendover. ,
A business meeting, at which the National Chairman, Mrs. y
Jefferson Patterson presided, followed the delicious luncheon. Dr. E,
Francis Hutchins presented a Resolution on the death of the ,
Chairman Emeritus, Mrs. Morris B. Belknap, and the Recording ‘
Secretary, Mrs. John Harris Clay, read the names of other Trus-
tees and members who had died during the year. Mr. E. S. Dab- ,¤
ney presented the Treasurer’s Report and the Budget for the E
current fiscal year. Mrs. Patterson introduced the members of
the Executive Committee and other distinguished guests, and
spoke briefly about plans for a fund drive for the Mary Breckin- .
ridge Hospital to begin in the autumn. Miss Browne reported on ,5
the plans that are being made for the new hospital and gave a .
report of the year’s work. A
A major item of business was the revision of the Articles of
Incorporation and the Bylaws of Frontier Nursing Service. Mr. .4%
Henry R. Heyburn explained that the Articles had not been j
revised since 1931 and badly needed to be brought up-to-date. The  
revision of both the Articles and the Bylaws had been approved ~
by the Executive Committee (which, under the new Articles will  .
be known as the Board of Governors) and were voted on and
passed by the membership.  »
Members of the Board of Governors and the Trustees were  ‘
elected for the current year. Mr. Brooke Alexander of New York »
City and Mr. W. Roy Sizemore of Hyden, Kentucky, were elected  _
to the Board of Governors. The following new Trustees were also  Q
elected: Mrs. Edward Arpee, Chicago, Illinois: Dr. Sarah Bland-  .
ing, Lakeville, Connecticut; Dr. John W. Greene, Jr., and Dr. .
James B. Holloway, Jr., both of Lexington: Mrs. Robert F. y
Muhlhauser, Cincinnati, Ohio; Mrs. Charles W. Potter, Chicago,
Illinois; and Mrs. John Marshall Prewitt, Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.  l

  URGENT NEEDS
if Last year we did so much work on buildings and grounds
`_ that this year we have held repairs down to a minimum-except
` Q for the Hospital water system.
; Our private water system for the Hospital Plant is, of neces-
*,, sity, complex, requiring multiple pump units and over 2,500 feet
i of pipe line buried on a hillside. When one considers this, the
; routine maintenance cost is really not excessive. However, when
  we have breakdowns and the cost is not included in the budget,
  we must have the work done and then ask in this column for
I! gifts to reimburse the budget. In the dry weather last summer,
Q, our best well failed and produced only half of its normal supply
  of water. Our good friends, Mrs. Homer Biggerstaff and her
.~ brother, Mr. Jesse Lewis, owned a mine adjoining our hospital
_. property and they thought it would supply all the water we
·” needed if we impounded it and connected it with our storage
  tanks on the hill. They kindly offered us full water rights free
of charge. After consultation with expert advisers, this seemed
,¤ a better gamble than drilling another well. One of our local
l trustees supervised the construction of the cement reservoir and
pump house. The county judge put "unemployed fathers" at our
disposal to dig the pipe line from the reservoir up the hill to the
  cistern——865’—where it would come down to the buildings by
.4 gravity. All of this free help greatly reduced the cost of the
A installation, and—-best news of all—we have water!
_ Q This. past winter when our thermometer plummeted to 14°
¥* below zero, the abnormal temperature wreaked havoc with our
j wells, pumps, motors, pump houses and pipe lines. The mine
I would have carried us through the crisis had it not been for
 , broken pipe lines—hard to find on a hillside—which drained the
tanks! Everyone took a hand at melting snow, hauling water
 ’ and accepting kind invitations from friends in Hyden—those that
 ` didn’t have frozen pipes—to wash diapers and personal clothes.
 E Patients gracefully accepted the best care they could be given
 * under the circumstances; and everyone took the crisis in her
 . stride.
. As this Bulletin goes to press, the mine is supplying all the
i water we need for the Hospital Plant. We now use the wells as
 j a standby system, which we have badly needed for forty years!

 6 FnoNT1ER NURSING SERVICE ·
We are putting in Urgent Needs only such items of hospital  i
equipment as are needed now and will be transferable to the new
Mary Breckinridge Hospital when it is built. .
We were deeply moved by the generous response to this 3
column last spring-—thirty-four kind friends gave a total of  
$20,7 93.77 . Before this Bulletin goes to press, the donor of our  
Flat Creek Nursing Center has given all the "needs" for her '{
center. l
These gifts have been an enormous help and have encour-
aged us tremendously. All of you who so generously support the
work keep the FNS growing and fulfilling its purpose in this
changing world of ours.
HYDEN HOSPITAL PLANT
