One such case is in Northern
Virginia. Earlier this year
DR.. James Carter, 80, brought
his wife and 3-year-old daugh-
ter to the town Of Shenandoah
from Grundy. In the noun
tains Of Southwest Virginia.
The council, in this case. re-
sponded to a plea from the
Shenandoah Lions Club for q
younger doctor to supplement
the services Of two older ply

ticed there for 81 years and
the other 50 years.

Gated q physician for that

But the system has vastly
improved since 1916. the year
in which many young ply

Prior to that time. q study
showed that 40 per cent Of the
physicians serving rural areas
were between 10 and 90 years
Of age and had been in prac-
tice for more than 80 years.
Thirty-three Of the 90 coun-
ties reported . critical short

to present plans the proposed pulp mill will be in operation in late 1858 or early 1859 after construction on the $40 to $50 million project starts in the fall of 1856 or 1857.
 Speaking before the Alaska division luncheon of the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce, he said: "The pulp mill project still is in the planning stage and after we complete our con tract with the U. s. govern mem. to log in the Tongass Ma tional Forest, we will begin drawing up plans for the mill The planning will take nine to twelve months and construc- tion will begin in the fall of 1856 or spring of 1857"
 The mill is to have a produc tion capacity of 300 tons per day of high alpha dissolving pulp. The entire output will be exported to the rayon indus tries in Japan.
 we have never planned to operate the proposed mill with labor from Japan. Because there appears to be some mis- understanding in this regard, I wish to especially emphasize this point. In this connection. I would like to point out that our operation of the sawmill at Wrangell is based entirely upon of American la bor," MT. Ohshinna said in Seat tie.
 He went on to declare the plant will provide a perman- ent industry for Alaska and for Sitka; an industry which will provide employment for hund- reds of persons.
 This pulp mill will provide for about 400 per- in the mill itself, and an| four hundred or so in the woods. Computing the family at a total num- Der of four, the project will add 5000 to the present pop ulation. But, in addition, all sales and service business now operating here will expand fac ilI.ies and increase personnel - while at the same time other new and needed business will spring into existence = which should add another thousand persons to the population rolls.
