Mr. Hubbard stated that this request would be gladly complied with.

For information, copies of correspondence was given to each member of the Board relative to policies, etc. from the Attorney General's office to Sen. J. V. Whitfield, Chairman of the State Stream Sanitation Committee, at various times, regarding clarification and duties of the newly created Division of Water Pollution Control and the Sanitary Engineering Division as enacted by the 1958 Legislature. Secretary Norton announced the receipt of a new film on Asian Influenza. He was prepared to have the picture shown, but due to lack of time this w^as not done. December 5, 1957. A regular quarterly meeting of the North Carolina State Board of Health was held Thursday, December 5, 1957, beginning at 11:00 a.m., in the Board Room of the Cooper Memorial Health Building, with President Dixon presiding. Upon motion of Dr. Henderson, seconded by Dr. Bugg, the minutes of the meeting held on September 19, 1957 which had previously been circulated to Board members, were unanimously approved without further reading. Dr. Fred T. Foard, Director of the Epidemiology Division, gave a report on the poliomyelitis vaccination program in North Carolina.

Of the total vaccine purchased for North Carolina under Federal program of 3,435,975 ccs. there is 144,486 ccs. at the Laboratory of Hygiene which would become out-dated in January. Local Health Officers, through several letters, and the public, through news releases, have been urged to use the vaccine but there seems to be a decrease in the demand. Dr. Foard reported also that of the 213 poliomyelitis cases reported in 1957 through December 4, only 40 have been paralytic. In 1956 through December 4, a total of 299 case had been reported, with 151 of them paralytic. With approximately 100,000 ccs. of polio vaccine becoming out-dated in January, 1958, he asked that the Board consider how to dispose of the supply of vaccine left on hand. Dr. Lenox D. Baker moved that the Board authorize Secretary Norton, through Dr. Foard, to dispose of the surplus vaccine in any manner to the best interest of our people and in a manner through which it would do the most good. Motion seconded by Dr. John R. Bender, and passed unanimously. Also, Dr. Foard informed the Board that he had placed an order for 452,000 ccs. poliomyelitis vaccine, but it was not to be shipped until notified by the State Board of Health to do so. Dr. Jacob Koomen, Jr., Assistant Director of the Division of Epidemiology, reviewed the present status of influenza and influenza vaccine in North Carolina. Approximately 550,000 cases have occured since onset of the outbreak in late September. The ''peak" of the epidemic, 150,000 cases reported per week, was seen in the last week in October and the first week in November. In the past week 13,000 cases were reported. The State Laboratory of Hygiene has processed 1,455 blood specimens of which 477 have
