22 Thirty-Fifth Biennial Report ^ Secretary Norton presented, for consideration and adoption, standards for approval of certified milk laboratories. He stated that the U. S. Public Health Service plans to certify milk supplies for interstate shipment as it has certified water supplies for trains, airplanes and other common carriers transporting passengers from one state to another. Interstate shipment of water and milk constitutes a problem which rests in part upon the U. S. Public Health Service. In turn, it passes on to the State Boards of Health the responsibility for certifying the sources within their jurisdictions. Milk approved for interstate shipment by the U. S. Public Health Service must be from sources inspected by the State Board of Health and which are examined by laboratories certified by the Board of Health as meeting accepted standards. Since the certification of milk laboratories would logically be a responsibility of the State Laboratory of Hygiene, the following general policies were proposed for consideration by the members of the Board for guidance of the Director of the Division of the Laboratory of Hygiene: "1. That only laboratories operated by local health departments or by cities, counties, or other state agencies be considered for certification. "2. That the building housing the laboratory applying for certification be owned or operated by a county, city or the State of North Carolina. "3. That the laboratory space be adequate for the anticipated volume of work to be performed. "4. That the laboratory have suitable equipment for the performance of dependable milk laboratory work. "5. That the laboratory worker or workers be adequately trained and that they demonstrate their ability to perform dependable laboratory examinations of milk. That laboratories requesting certification be inspected prior to certification. "7. That check specimens be sent to certified laboratories and that the certified laboratory send suitable preparations to the State Laboratory of Hygiene at reasonable intervals. That certified milk laboratories be authorized to charge fees for the examination of specimens of milk or other dairy products.—A fee of $1.00 per sample for a microscopic count on raw milk or plate count on pasteurized milk would support a milk laboratory if adequate numbers of specimens were examined. A certified laboratory should examine specimens regardless of whether they are submitted by representatives of health departments, by producers, distributors or customers. Evaluation of laboratory findings should be made only by competent persons." Mr. Lutz moved that the foregoing minimum standards, or policies for approval of certified milk laboratories, be approved. Motion seconded by Dr. Crump, and was unanimously carried. Secretary Norton reported very briefly on the recent mass gamma globulin inoculation programs in Catawba, Caldwell and Avery Counties. Approximately 30,000 shots were given to children 10 years of age and younger, in the three counties. In each instance, gamma globulin was administered after the polio epidemic had reached its peak. Dr. Norton stated that Dr. Jesse G. Smith of the Epidemic Intelligence Service, U. S. Public Health Service, Atlanta, Ga., had been loaned to the State Board of Health to survey and make an evaluation of gamma globulin in the
