The GAMMA GLOBULIN Sioiy ove H: yodflir During the Polio epidemic last summer, the heartening news came out that for the first time, an antibody was proving effective in combatting this terrible disease. Gam ma Globulin, a new blood derivative, was providing tempo rary immunity to most of the children injected with it in Sioux City and Houston. At last, a serum to fight Infantile Paralysis! But there was not nearly enough serum to treat all the children in the nation. The main reason? Not enough blood. It takes more than a pint of blood to produce one dose of "GG!" To provide the maximum amount of globulin possible, the Office of Defense Mobilization asked the Red Cross to greatly expand its blood collection operations during 1953; and the Red Cross accepted the task. The new responsibility will draw heavily upon the fi nancial and voluntary resources of the organization. This year alone,, it will cost the Red Cross $7,000,000 above its other budgetary requirements; and a minimum of two mil lion blood donations will be required before it will be possible to immunize children in the epidemic areas. Just how successful the Red Cross Gamma Globulin effort will be depends upon your generosity generosity in giving blood, and generosity in giving money to make blood into serum. Both are needed if our children are to be made safe from the crippling paralysis of Polio. wm 3 uu IHJ ) Yes every day in Nebraska and throughout the world thP RPd rm , P hevesuffering and aids disaster.
