The Physicians' Load
Community interest is centered
in the announcement that Dr.
James L. Walker, a former physi-
ejom here until called into service
fw overseas duty in Korea, will
•eturn to the city at an early date
resume the practice of medicine.
The Chamber of Commerce re-
ncTuCly forwarded its membership
a questionaire asking suggestions
ae» to community needs. The sug
gestion most generally made was
ti*? need of additional physicians to
serve the city and adjoining rural
areas which are without resident
"uloctors. Additional physicians will
hsrlp relieve the heavy load being
♦-■anried by our small group who
«rork harder and with longer hours
.than any people we know.
Those of the medical profession
'Qualified to know say that this
targe community toith its excellent
physicians, still needs others to
faelp adequately and promptly take
of patients’ needs. There are
than 16,000 people, white and
labored, residing in Hunter and
Jacks townships adjacent to Clin
ton, with about 2,000 more in the
Mountville-Cross Hill area, and
people are dependent almost
