All of these have agreed to help us find someone to come here and practice. ! Last month we located a man who is looking for a place to practice, and it appears that I there is a good possibility of getting him to come here. He is a native of Utah, and will grad-uate grad-uate with a degree in veterinary ; medicine from Colorado A & M, 'Fort Collins, this coming May. , We intend to keep in touch with this man and to do everything possible to get him to locate here.
