Marshall, M.D., Director, Plainview -Hale County health Dept. Re: Items of Interest for meeting, December 101 1964 Since I shall be attending the annual meeting of the Texas Mdsquito Control Association in Austin, Dec. 10-11, I would like to suggest a few items for consideration. 1. At the TMCA meeting I expect to join in a discussion of our problem in Hale County and a recommended budget estimate. I also hope to arrange for Dr. Don Micks to visit us for a day or two. 2. Attention is called to the preparation of the mobile unit for the Migrant Health Program. Photographs of the interior and exterior are enclosed. Members of the Board are invited to inspect this unit which is now ready for use. 3. I would like to request the Board to consider sponsoring a meeting in early spring to discuss labor camp sanitation and ways of improving san- itation to reach minimum standards. I believe gin management should be invited and I would hope representatives of all the gin associations could be invited. A representative of Texas Employment Commission could -contribute valuable data at this meeting and the Migrant Ministry group colOod give supportv 4. A conference was held on November 19 here to plan for encephalitis studies in Hale County in 1965. The U.S. Public Health Service had 7 representatives and the State Health Department sent 2 men. A copy of the tenative outline for investigations is enclosed. Judge Abernethy and Mayor hood may have comments on this subject. 5. Attached bills for general program and migrant health program,
