OF ANOTHER PHYSICIAN HEBE
A suggestion to the Hermiston
Commercial club that it use its of­
fices in locating another physician
and surgeon in Hermiston was made
at the weekly luncheon and meeting
of the organixation Tuesday by Dr.
J. L. Sears.
Such a large territory looks to
Hermiston for the services of a
physician that It is a physical Ira
possibility for one man to respond
to the demand, Dr. Sears declared,
particularly in those periods of the
year when sicknesg is more preva­
lent, and epidemics prevail. The
club decided to lend its efforts In
locating another physician in Her­
miston, following Dr. Sears’ sugges­
tion.
