DR. MARTIN TO OPEN OFFICES IN HOME
Dr. Clarice K. Martin, who is opening a temporary office at her home at 310 Lavina, has returned from California, where she took post graduate work in obstetrics at Los Angeles Osteopathic college. She was amused to see Christmas trimmings in the large San Francisco stores, where they had tried by every artificial means to produce the lovely frosted effects this area enjoys in natural winter scenery. “I’m sure glad we are not interested in such sophisticated things as pink and blue Christmas trees,” she said.
