Director of Sanitation Activities: Mr. W. H. Cranford, Director of
Sanitation Activities, had been approached by the Cumberland County Health
Department regarding employment with their Department. The possibility
of raising his salary was discussed, but no positive action was taken.
V~. Cranford was asked by Dr. Hooper to talk with this Board before he

contact Attorney James C. Fox to see if he would accept the position as

Drugs for TB Patients: Money has been made available through our special
Tuberculosis Control Project to buy n~AH and PAS for TB Patients and sus-
pects. Welfare buys drugs for the indigent patients. Drugs bought with
the project funds can be furnished to anyone, regardless of their ability
to payor legal residence (letter from Dr. Berry, 8-23-67). Dr. Tidler
made the motion that we go along with this and furnish drugs for these
people since this is a preventive measure and a public health problem
and that if the patient is able to pay, he buy the drugs at cost. Dr.
Smith seconded the motion. Motion carried.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
