34 Thirty-Eighth Biennial Report brought out the feeling that perhaps after a fair amount of treatment that it would be quite in order for the patient to return home. Then he came up against the State regulations. For five years he failed to diagnose the case and his colleagues failed to diagnose it. On Dr. McLaurin's return from the Air Force, the man came into his office and the change was striking. The change in his condition under treatment is truly remarkable. He has been home on visits on several occasions. He has been well accepted in the community, his family is most anxious to have him home, and he feels that he is able to accept his treatment. They find little reason to think that Surry County would object to his returning home. He asked the Board to change the regulation something in line with what is done in other states, such as California. He had already mailed a copy of a letter he had received from the U. S. Public Health Service. The patient could be trusted to carry out the prescribed treatment and he would be isolated. Dr. Franklin said it was he who brought on the law as it stands now. After this case developed, he started looking through our public health laws of North Carolina and did not find much of a rule or regulation that would guide him in handling this case. He wrote Dr. Norton that he thought we needed a revision in the public health law to give him a little more guidance. In the law of 1956 he got a little more than he asked for in that the law conflicts with Carville recommendations. They say that they know the man is safe to come home. Dr. Bugg remarked that this delay in accepting Carville approval by our objection could go on all his life. On the other hand, Carville wants the man to come home and they do not think there is any danger. He is a good man, with a good family, very honorable and trustworthy, and the 1956 regulation might put him away for life. Dr. Franklin said he had no doubt that he would be accepted in Surry County. He is persistent in only one thing, to have the same privileges as he would have had he been a soldier of California or some of the other states. Dr. Foard commented that the laws of California are much more broad and he thought this man is perfectly safe. The American Public Health Association comes out periodically with changes in regulations, they have been lenient all along, and he thinks they will be more lenient this year. Dr. Morris moved that the Board rescind the 1956 leprosy regulation. Mr. Jackson seconded the motion, and it carried. Dr. Koomen said that no cases of leprosy had occurred in the professional staff at Carville, one possible case in the non-professional staff. Dr. Fred T. Foard, Director of the Division of Epidemiology, gave the Board members a written summary of polio vaccination. Against 62 cases last year at this time, with 26 paralytic and 4 deaths, there have been 250 cases, 210 paralytic, and 17 deaths this year, most of them among people not vaccinated. He feels that the polio situation this year has occurred principally because of negligence on the part of the public. This happens to be a high year and a lot of people have not been vaccinated. Dr. Bugg called attention to the fact that physicians are not reporting cases that are not paralytic. They are doing more lab work now. Dr. Koomen commented on the portion of the poliomyelitis immunization law which reads:—"an adequately immunizing dose as determined by the
