Decorah Doctor Named to State Dental Board
Dr. F. W. Conover was announced as a new member of the state board of dental examiners, one of six recommended by the state dental society with three appointments. This marks Decorah's second honor in the board's history after Dr. C. L. Topliff completed a five year term, and the appointment signals local professional recognition. The post carries honor more than substantial pay, and Dr. Conover is deemed capable of meeting all office requirements.
