86 Thirty-first Bienniai. Report June 12, 1946. There was a special called meeting of the North Carolina State Board of Health June 12, 1946, for consideration of the poliomeyelitis (infantile paralysis) epidemic in Florida and Texas as it relates to North Carolina. Secretary Reynolds presented Dr. C. P. Stevick, our State Epidemiologist, and he gave a very concise and brief summary of the poliomeyelitis epidemic in Florida, illustrated with daily and weekly reports, maps and charts showing the incidence and location of poliomeyelitis. Also he spoke of the Texas situation. Dr. Stevick read a number of pertinent excerpts from various medical experts on polio showing more recent knowledge in the spread and control of the disease, after which followed much discussion on the subject. • Secretary Reynolds introduced Mr. Frank Bell, Chairman of the Public Health Committee of the American Campers Association in this State. Mr. Bell requested the Board's consideration in the modification of tlie regulation passed on June 3, 1946, by the Executive Committee of the Board in order that restrictions would be uniform for camps, hotels and other resort establishments. He felt that the regulation of June 3 would tend to drive children from the camps in to hotels and other public places. Mr. Ben Prince of Hendersonville was present, and asked that paragraph 3 of the above mentioned regulation be reconsidered in order that after two weeks quarantine children in Florida would be released from restrictions. On motion of Doctor Dixon, seconded by Doctor Nolan, the meeting went into executive session. Doctor Large moved that the Board approve the action of the Executive Committee of June 3, 1946, and that ''the order adopted by that Committee is here again passed and made a part of the official acts of this Board." Motion seconded by Doctor Dixon. After much discussion of the poliomyelitis impending epidemic pro and con, Doctor Dixon moved the adoption of the following motion: '^Whereas, poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis is a dangerous, infectious disease, causing death in some cases and in other cases varying degrees of paralysis, and said disease is included in the list of infectious diseases set forth in Section 130-173 of the General Statutes of North Carolina and is also included in the group of disease concerning which the North Carolina State Board of Health is required by law to adopt necessary rules and regulations for the management, supervision, and control thereof, as provided by Section 130-176 of the General Statues, and ''Whereas, it is known, reliable research investigators have demonstrated, and there is satisfactory and strong evidence to the effect that: Infantile paralysis (poliomeyelitis) is widespread in the population in areas having an abnormally high incidence of the disease, many members of such a population carrying the virus causing that disease without symptoms and unknown to themselves; the spread of the disease takes place by person to person contacts with infected persons; the high incidence of that disease is known to occur in children, 15 per cent between the ages of 10 and 14 years, 85 per cent of all cases
