North Carolina Board of Health 29 approve participating in the allocation formula for local health departments in order to provide incentive for joining the Local Government Retirement System, not to exceed $1,000 a year to any county. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lutz, and carried. Dr. Brian moved that the Board express appreciation to Mr. Yelton for his kindness in bringing this information to the Board. Motion seconded by Mr. Lutz and carried. The Board voted to strengthen its directive to Local Health Directors, with copies to Chairmen of Local Boards of Health and Chairmen of the County Commissioners, relative to State purchased poliomyelitis vaccine for the indigent and medically indigent. The directive originally was adopted at Asheville, May 6, but today's action pointed out, in specific language, that those not indigent are not entitled to free vaccine which is provided only for those unable to pay. The Board also strengthened its statement as to how a person can be classified as unable to pay. It was pointed out that if the parent states he is unable to pay, the Local Health Director ordinarily would accept such statement at its face value, unless the Director has personal knowledge or could easily obtain information leading him to believe that such free vaccination would not be in order. Dr. Fred T. Foard, Director of the Division of Epidemiology, reported on the polio situation, stating that through May 20 of this year six cases of polio had been reported as compared to none on the same date in 1958. He said a copy of the Attorney General's ruling on distribution of vaccine with reference to use of State purchased polio vaccine had been sent to all Local Health Directors. Dr. Foard further stated that there was a rise in paralytic polio over the Nation in 1958 over 1957 and that according to this early trend it is probable that we are going to have more polio in 1959 than in 1958. During Dr. Foard's appearance before the Board, he presented a letter from Dr. Fred R. Klenner, Reidsville, North Carolina, requesting Board approval for his use of live polio vaccine. Dr. Foard added that the use of live vaccine has not been approved by the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Brian moved that Dr. Norton, as State Health Director, write a tactful letter to Dr. Klenner declining his invitation to experiment with this vaccine at this time. Motion seconded by Dr. Morrison and Mrs. Latta, and unanimously carried. Dr. Edwards cited the wording of a sentence in the minutes of the last meeting concerning a salary raise for four medical division directors which might indicate a lack of merit on the part of the three non-medical division directors. Dr. Bender suggested leaving out "four medical" and Dr. Morrison agreed. Dr. Bugg suggested a motion under new business in this meeting to omit those two words. Dr. Bender moved that the minutes of this meeting show that we have amended that statement to read "salaries of the State Health Director, Assistant State Health Director and the Division Directors." Dr. Henderson seconded, and the motion carried. President Bugg read letters from Governor Hodges approving the Board's re-election of Dr. Norton as State Health Director and Dr. Hamilton as Assistant State Health Director,—four-year terms, expiring June 30, 1963. Dr. Norton made a brief report on the status of the appropriations. A joint appropriations subcommittee of twenty-five has been appointed, in-
