30 Thirty-Seventh Biennial Report 21.7 per cent of all cases have been paralytic in 1957 as compared with 56.8 per cent in 1956." As further information for the Board, Dr. Foard discussed the temporary release of Mr. William H. Hudson of Dobson, from the Carville, Louisiana, Leprosarium, to visit his home in Surry County, for a 30-day period. Mr. Hudson, a patient at the USPHS Hospital in Carville, requested permission to return home last year. This request was denied by the Board of Health until such time as Mr. Hudson could be released with assurances of safety by the Hospital authorities at Carville. Mr. Hudson made a second request about two months ago to the State Health Officer, and he was advised that the matter would have to be deferred for further consideration and action by the Board. In the meantime, the State Health Officer was advised by Dr. Rolla R. Wolcott, Clinical Director of the Leprosarium, that Mr. Hudson was leaving for Surry County by auto. He also stated that there was "no contraindication to the patient's leave of absence from the Leprosarium and that the hospital could not hold the patient under present circumstances." The Health Officer of Surry County advised that the patient had arrived, was very cooperative in maintaining isolation, and will return to the Leprosarium after 80 days. Dr. Foard also reported briefly on the rapid spread of influenza throughout the Far East and Asia, and of the recent outbreaks of a similar type in California, New England and Iowa. All contacts who attended the Grin-nell, Iowa meeting in North Carolina are being followed through and there have been some cases of influenza reported in North Carolina. Dr. Foard stated that this is definitely a different type of strain A influenza and the PHS is studying, typing and using sera collected from influenza-like infections occurring in different parts of the country with the view of determining the extent to which the Asiatic type of influenza has spread. A vaccine is being prepared to include this new strain. Mr. J. M. Jarrett, Director of the Division of Sanitary Engineering, outlined and discussed the proposed revisions to the Restaurant Sanitation Regulations. He stated that these revisions were necessary, in order to clarify requirements for food stands and drink stands. Dr. Bender moved that the Board approve the Restaurant Sanitation Regulations as submitted. Motion seconded by Dr. Baker, and carried. (Copy filed in Minute Book) Mr. Jarrett presented a request from the Town of Graham for permission of the State Board of Health to permit controlled fishing in Town Lake, the municipal water supply lake, located on Back Creek. He stated that an investigation had been made by the Division and with strict regulations controlling fishing activities, that no adverse effects would be experienced in the quality of water and that fishing from boats would be feasible and safe from a public health standpoint. Also, Mr. Jarrett presented and discussed a similar request from the Town of Kernersville for permission of the Board to allow controlled fishing in Kernersville Lake, the municipal water supply lake. Mr. Jarrett stated that this request also had been thoroughly investigated by his Division, and in view of all the information, he recommended approval by the Board. On motion of Dr. Baker, seconded by Dr. Henderson, the resolutions authorizing both the Town of Graham and the Town of Kernersville to permit controlled fishing in their respec-
