MANY SECTIONS NOW
IN NEED OF DOCTORS

All told. the state board OF health
has received about 125 letters from
persons In various communities which
now are sadly In need of permanently
located doctors Most of the writers
are residents of towns, villages or
thrifty rural communities and they
indicate that the physician who set
ties in their neighborhoods will have
fine opportunities for success
1t goes without saying that the
state board Of health will do all In Its
power to assist in meeting this short
age of doctors-a condition due at
least in part to the recent demand for
physicians in the army. In the course
OF the next few weeks many doctors
now In the service viii receive their
discharges
Those who Rave made no definite
plans for the future would do we'll to
communicate with the sta D board Of
health. the commissioner viii gladly
furnish them with Information as to
the communities needing doctors. To
Judge by the letters already on Ale
nearly all sections of Virginia have
openings which offer fine opportuni-
ties.
