"Wendover—Pop. 21 Approx"-—so says the sign at the {
_ front gate as photographed by our old friend, Mr. Earl J
Palmer, in the early Fifties. As long as "Approx" re- ,
mains on the sign, it is still appropriate. The population  
of Wendover swells by day to between thirty and forty  
people with the arrival of the office, maintenance and  
` some of the domestic staff, and dwindles to around ten {_
permanent residents and couriers in the evening.

  URGENT NEEDS
  HYDEN HOSPITAL PLANT
  Each year since we began planning for a new hospital, we
 ` have spent as little as possible on repairs to the old building. But,
ig the heavy patient load and the enormous amount of paper work
required of all hospitals in this day and time have necessitated
larger professional and clerical staffs, and more modern equip-
. ment to make it possible for doctors, nurses and secretaries to
  work under extremely crowded and diflicult circumstances.
l_ Listed below are items that are essential in order to give
  good care to the patients and to enable the staff to work more
. efficiently. All hospital equipment and oflice furniture will be
ll usable in the new hospital and transferred to it when it is
  completed.

T. appreciated.

NO BODY’S PERFECT! .
"I want to exchange these snakeskin pumps," a woman in  `
the crowded shoe store told the clerk. "They are imperfect, see _
those scratches ‘?"
The clerk agreed that there were some tiny scratches and l
brought out another pair. The lady examined them carefully. .
"These are marred, too." l
A few minutes later the clerk returned with eight pairs of
shoes. The customer thought she detected some ilaw in each `
pair. "They’re all imperfect!" she exclaimed as she discarded the
last one. _
"Madam," the salesman said wearily, "I’m not perfect, you’re _
not perfect. How can you expect a snake to be perfect ‘?"

PEGGY ELMORE
" It has been some ninety-five years since Mr. Alexander Gra-
i ham Bell presented the world with the telephone and, although
, in the lifetime of many of us it has evolved from a rather crude
  to a fairly sophisticated instrument, it is something most of us
 M take for granted now.
There were telephones in Leslie County when the FNS was
 I begun in 1925 but our old staff member, Della Int-Hout, tells us
A the story of an important call from Stafford, Kansas, to the FNS
Outpost Center at Bowlingtown, which took three days—and a
pack mule——to complete in the early Thirties. It seems that Bowl-
I ingtown was not listed in official telephone records and the Chief
. Operator called half a dozen points in Kentucky, including two
sheriffs and a railroad, to get information. The railroad said the
mail went by pack mule. A sheriff suggested the State Police
A who obliged by taking the message as far as the road went and
‘ there turning it over to the mailman and his mule. Three days
· after the call was made, the recipient reached a telephone and
·, the call was completed.
i All of the outpost nursing centers were linked by phone with
` Hyden and Wendover in the early days, sometimes utilizing For-
. estry Service lines, sometimes using lines maintained by FNS.
‘ And maintenance could be a problem—because the wire made
I such good clothesline! Communication was often by relay——
° from, for example, Brutus to Bowlingtown, to Confiuence, to
- Hyden, to Wendover-—and there were times when the message
which reached its destination was not quite the same as originally
intended. One day the late Jean Hollins received news at Wen-
` dover, from Brutus, that "the milk of Blinkie was paltry". Now
  Blinkie was a young, fine cow, and, moreover, she was fresh. So
i Jean checked back and found that the original message, intended
  for the doctor and not the animal husbandry department, had
‘ said, "Bill Couch’s wife has palsy"!
i In 1961 the FNS replaced the old, hand—crank telephones,
as which definitely had character, with dial phones which didn’t.
J Oh, there were advantages to the dial phones—Wendover and

 io FRONTIER NURSING snavicn  ,
Hyden Hospital had two lines each, plus an intercom circuit,  v
many more families had phones, and we could use them twenty-
four hours a day if we wished. With the old phones. the switch-
board was closed from 10 :00 p.m. until 6 :00 a.m., but that was no _
great disadvantage. Most people were in bed by ten and if there I
were an emergency at the hospital "Central" was always willing  
to keep the board open or come back in the middle of the night *
and help cope with the problem. We can even remember one i
night when the operator stayed on for nearly an hour while Dr.  i
· Beasley, at Hyden Hospital, sought Leigh Powell’s advice, from
Wendover, on some emergency canine surgery. j
The old system was a friendly one. When the phone rang the ’
combination of longs. and shorts told us immediately for whom _
the call was intended. If we needed to locate someone in town, Z
all we had to do was call the switchboard and the operator would .
tell us where she had last seen the person or keep an eye open t
for her. And, on the more serious side, if we needed blood donors, -
all we had to do was tell the operator the names and she would ·
produce the donors. When the Beasleys first came to Hyden,
Trink received a call from her seven year old son who said: A
"Mama, I’m having lunch in the jail. ’Bye." Trink had no idea -
where the jail was, or what misdemeanor her eldest might W
have committed. So she called the operator who said, "Oh, yes,  
Mrs. Beasley, your son must be in the second grade. The jailor’s ·
son is in the second grade too, and his mother is one of the best  l
cooks in town so you needn’t worry." Trink was quite reassured,  .
even though she still didn’t know where the jail was. ,
The dial system may have given us better telephone service 1
but it wasn’t half as interesting and during the last two or three B
years we have, at the hospital anyway, begun to outgrow our
"new" system. We don’t quite know why but when the hospital ’
is dialed, the phone only rings once, and sometimes not at all-
and this was (and is) very frustrating. So last summer we
agreed to the installation of an even newer system—with a sort {
of push-button switchboard which can be moved into the new it 
hospital—which will give us the phones we need at Hyden and  
will tie Wendover and Hyden Hospital into the same intercom  ;
circuits, thus eliminating the two-to—three minute automatic cut- ‘
off presently on local calls. Brevity is a fine trait to cultivate but

  l QUARTERLY BULLETIN 11
 ” it often takes most of that two-to-three minutes to locate the
person one wants! The new system has been in the process of
installation for some months and the old phones will soon be cut
· off at Wendover. (We will retain the old numbers.) Now we
¤ must try to learn what to do with the new "switchboard" and
  try to remember to dial three intercom numbers instead of one
Q or two, and try to get all the "bugs" ironed out. Wendover has
 l been the "guinea pig" and we are still waiting for the new system
' to go in at the hospital.
For some time now our friends have been able to dial us
. directly and we hear a rumor that we, too, will have the advant-
* age of direct dialing by the end of the year and we hope that a
_ solution will soon be found for the problem which causes most
‘ long distance calls either to fade away or to cut off in the middle
. of the conversation. Thus, between the Emergency Radio Net-
  work and the new telephones, modern communications have
- come to the FNS. We wonder if it will ever be as good as the
 ‘ grapevine!
  At a dinner party, a shy young man had been trying to think
i of something nice to say to his hostess. At last, he saw his chance
when she turned to him and remarked, "What a small appetite
you have tonight, Mr. Jones."
_ "To sit next to ‘you," he replied gallantly, "would cause any
man to lose his appetite."

G fied by the large attendance of interested members and friends. p
The National Chairman of Frontier Nursing Service, Mrs. ·
Jefferson Patterson of Washington, D. C., introduced the Rev.  
Edward Hopper of Lexington, who gave the Invocation, and Dr.  p

  THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALME
 ‘ The God ot Iove my Shepherd is,
_ And He that doth me teed,
While He is mine, and I am His,
What can I want or need?
He leads me to the tender grasse.
Where I both teed and rest;
I Then to the streams that gently passe:
I In both I have the best.
, Or it I stray, He doth convert.
And bring my minde in trame:
I And all this not tor my desert,
y But in His holy name.
I Yea, in Death's shadie black abode
 , Well may I waII<, not tear;
I For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
To guide. Thy statte to bear.
