North Carolixa Board of Health 75 ''It is the sense of the State Board of Health that any funds appropriated to the use of the State Board of Health, Including the crippled children's section, for the alleviation of emergency or other health welfare needs, be dis-bursd by the Department of Health in such manner as not to mitigate against any qualified physicians or group of physicians who are duly licensed to practice medicine and surgery in North Carolina, and are qualified to render such service." Dr. C. P. Stevick, Director of the Epidemiology Division, presented a suggested revision of the communicable disease regulations reducing the periods of quarantine and isolation for poliomyelitis. He reported on a meeting with the State Poliomyelitis Planning Committee and representatives of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis relative to the isolation period required, etc. Dr. Haywood moved the adoption of a revision in the poliomyelitis isolation period from fourteen (14) days to seven (7) days or for the duration of fever if longer than seven (7) days. The quarantine period has been reduced from fourteen (14) days to seven (7) days from the day of last exposure. Motion seconded by Mr. Jackson, and carried. Secretary Norton discussed a number of items of proposed legislation which might be brought up before the General Assembly but on which no action was required at this time by the Board, namely: (1) the possibility of legislation being required in order to bring about removal of present State Board of Health Building in order to erect the new building on this site; (2) an amendment to the sterilization law by the Eugenics Board to include visually handicapped people suffering from hereditary eye diseases; (3) a State Stream Sanitation law; (4) the Board may need an appropriation and legislation for codification of health laws; (5) possibility of needing some legislation in connection with civilian defense emergency from standpoint of medical and sanitation matters. Also, the following items of general information were brought to the attention of the Board: (a) that the President of the State Medical Society had appointed a new Cancer Committee with Dr. James P. Robertson of Wilmington as Chairman; (b) that a letter had been received from the Veteran's Administration Hospital at Oteen asking for a list of local health officers so that when a person is discharged from the hospital the local health officer could follow up the case thereby cooperating with local health departments in a very fine way; (c) Dr. Norton told the Board that he was in the Reserve Corps but having served in two World Wars and being on the Governor's Civil Defense Committee and on the Military Service Committee of the State Medical Society that he did not anticipate being called in the near future, and if that time should come, we have an Assistant State Health Officer, Dr. Cooper, to take over as he has done so well several times previously; (d) that the Personnel and Budget Offices have been contacted again about trying to arrange for raises for the division directors but the study that is being made for all State workers has not been completed, however, just as soon as they can, this matter will be given consideration; (e) and, of a joint meeting of the Executive Committee of the State Medical Society and State Dental Society for a discussion of the school health program probably early in September. The proposed budget changes for the 1951-1953 biennium, a copy of which is attached, were presented by Miss Mae Reynolds, Budget Officer. Each ■'01
