Polk Hopes Dr Williams Returns as Local Doctor
Arnold Isaacson reports a Wahoo visit with Dr J B Williams who said there is no chance he will return to Polk to resume practice after leaving to join Mead Ordnance Plant early in the war. Polk needs an active physician as residents have lacked his services. If he and Mrs Williams come back, they would be welcomed and living quarters secured. Local businessmen urged his return to Polk.
