26 Thirty-Sixth Biennial Report be approved which was seconded by Mr. Lutz and unanimously carried. (Copy filed in Minute Book) Mr. Jarrett gave an explanatory report on a lawsuit that has been entered in Wake County Superior Court against the State and the State Board of Health by Mr. Wallace, a part-owner of the Howard Johnson Restaurant of Rockingham, alleging that the system of grading restaurants and requiring the posting of grades A, B, or C, is unconstitutional. Dr. Donald B. Koonce of Wilmington, President-Elect of the State Medical Society, who was present, was welcomed and invited to enter into any discussions he cared to. Dr. Hamilton made a progress report on Postmortem Medicolegal Examinations. There are two committees functioning, a committee of the State Medical Society and a Postmortem Medicolegal Examinations Committee set up by the 1955 Legislature. Dr. Hamilton said he felt that the local health officer should not be considered for the job of Postmortem Medicolegal Examiner. Dr. Koonce was asked whether he thought the Examiner should be the health officer. He said he was not familiar with the law that was passed. It was his understanding of the original Bill that there would be district pathologists, and, in each county, there would be a medical examiner. He thought that the medical examiner certainly should not be the health officer but, from a practical point of view, it is extremely difficult to get a private practitioner to take that job, he said. In some poorer counties it would be cheaper to use the health officer, he added. Dr. Baker thought this law should have some kind of provision where the county health officer could serve in that capacity, if the county commissioners could not get someone else, and that a loophole should be left for that purpose. Dr. Norton expressed the thought that the Laboratory Division might be the logical place to center any special responsibility from the standpoint of administration of work with the Postmortem Medicolegal Examinations Committee and made that recommendation. It was agreed without formal vote that this should be done. Dr. Foard made a progress report on the polio vaccine program, as summarized up to the present time in material distributed to the members. Further discussion of the Crippled Children's Program, continued from the last meeting, was brought up and Dr. Elliot explained how physicians get on the roster as participating specialists in the Crippled Children's Program. He was asked at the last meeting to bring before the group policies, plans, etc., and in the interest of giving everybody an opportunity to study all this material at home before the meeting, he prepared and mailed all of the important procedures, rules and regulations to each member of the Board. Dr. Lawrence expressed the hope that the Board could see fit to assure that the number of participating specialists would be greatly increased. He did not think that it should restrict the handling of these children to the approximately 100 specialists to the exclusion of anyone else equally well qualified.
