A favorable ruling from the state attorney general's
office has cleared the way for implementation of Forsyth
County's plan for the organization of health services
between Reynolds Health Center and the Countv Health
Department.
The three-page ruling upholds the decision to keep the
center and the department separate with coordination^
from an assistant to the county manager.
"After talking to the county attorney T I think it (the
ruling) is clearly consistent with our proposal," said
reading a copy of the ruling provided by the Chronicle.
Jones and RHC administrator Dennis Magovern took
the first concrete step in the organizational plan Tuesday
by naming Mrs. Annie Alexander as nursing supervisor
for the center. RHC nurses had been under the direction
of Mrs. Frances Hutchinson nursing director for the
health department. That arrangement had been a major
sore spot between the center and the health department.
Assistant Attorney General Robert R. Reilly issued the
; opinion on Nov. 30 in a letter to Dr. Ronald R. Levine,
acting director of the Divison of_ Health Services,
Department of Human Resources. Levine had warned
the county that the organizational plan could jeopardize
state funding for health if the plan took, away from the
authority of the Board of Health, which has favored a
merger of the center and the health department.

seat, however, that was not enough to keep Mrs. Mazie
Woodruff from becoming the board's first black vice
chairman.- ?" 7 ? Mrs.
Woodruff won the post with the support of
Chairman Fred D. Hauser and Dr. James N. Ziglar in a
race with Drummond, who was nominated by Swisher.
because Hauser, re-elected chairman for the third
consecutive year, said this will be his last term as
chairman.
Drummond and Swisher won election this past election
with the heavy support of the S.T.O.P. tax limitation
group, and at Monday night's meeting, a S.T.O.P.
spokesman made a pointed reference to those victories
and warned the other three commissioners that their
seats would come up for election in 1980.
Forest Conrad of S.T.O.P. said of Drummond and
Swisher, "I'm so glad these men have been elected,"
and added, "1980 is an excellent opportunity to fill the

the meeting, Mrs. Woodruff said she did not plan

l^evine had asked whether the appointment of an
assistant to the county manager to coordinate nubile
health services compromised the authority of the Board
of Health and whether personnel could be transferred
from the health department without the approval of the
Board of Health.
Reilly responded that such a position could be created
under the authority of the county commissioners to
4 4 generally organize and reorganize county government
in order to promote orderly and efficient administration
of county affairs".
Reilly also said that X-ray services could be transferred
from the health department to the health center under
health department to provide X-rays as a part of its
tuberculosis control plan, however, those X-rays do not
have to be provided by the health department itself.
The opinion stated,44the board of commissioners may
organize and reorganize county government, such as
transferring the X-ray services from the health
department to the health center, provided that that the
ability of the county board of health, whether by
interagency agreement, direct line of authority or
otherwise, to fulfill its responsibilities under the statutes
and the standards is preserved."
Dr. Russell L. Smith, chairman of the County board of
health, said of the ruling, 4'It's very interesting that they
give an opposite opinion from that of thr Tnoitntu rrf
Government (at UNC-Chapel Hill). "It seems like
there's confusion.'

that have got to be done.''
In other action during the meeting, Larry Womble, vice
president of the Kimberly Park chapter of the
Winston-Salem State University Alumni Association,
urged the commissioners to adequately recognize the
accomplishments of the WSSU Football Rams.
