Dr. Wilson moved that the minutes be approved as corrected. Mrs. West seconded the motion. Dr. Karrh asked Dr. Lyons for his report. Dr. Lyons stated that the general health in Hale County was good, however, there had been six Hepatitis cases reported recently. The fact that school was turning out for the summer was the best thing that could happen and would make it much easier to control the situation. Dr. Karrh asked Dr. Lyons if he had received any reports about Rabies from the State. He said that he had not but Mrs. Truesdale reminded him that Dr. Cox was on 24 hour call. Inside the City Limits the an- imal wardens are in charge; outside the City Limits the Health Depart- ment should be called. The public should watch for bats and skunks too. Mrs. Truesdale said in her report that she had received a letter from Mr. Nave of Petersburg dated May 10th inquiring as to the individual cost of services from the Health Department. She further stated that the City of Petersburg had been out of compliance in several areas since the first of May. She remarked that she knew that they had a meeting the first Monday in June. Mrs. Truesdale then reported on the hearing that she attended in Lubbock starting May llth on Block Grants and where our money would be coming from. She passed a letter around that she had written stating our views about the areas discussed. Family Planning will probably be cut about $13,000 this year and some of the staff may be cut. She voiced the opinion that we will lose the ICHIP aide and maybe the ICHIP nurse. At this time she said that we were not accepting any new maternity pa- tients and would likely know in about a month more about it. Asked about the Jail Clinic, Mrs. Truesdale reported that things had pretty well taken -.care of themselves. It seemed to be more of a lack of communication than anything else. A report of the TB Clinic held in June with 50 patients was discussed. Most of those coming from one place of employment. We have very good relations and cooperation with the company. Oliver Hamel and Dr. Busby were reported to be out of town and Susan Dobbins was working. Dr. Baldwin moved that these be excused and Dr. Wilson seconded the motion. Dr. Wilson, as Chairman of the Budget Committee, then gave a report on the new budget and went over each item.
