TH1 JOURNA14TANDAHD, PMtEOKT, IUINO1S SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1953 fr Cross Urges lorn Donations, Money And Blood Itephenaon County Red Crow II for the support of county residents In Its drive to reach a goal itMNM. Howard Beck, chairman, today some of the many which this money provides. Among them Is the collection of Mood, tot which the next drive will take place here Tuesday, when 20 ttlhta Of the blood collected will be tised for gamma globulin and the balance will go to the Defense Department' for military use only. Donors are still urgently needed for Tuesday's' bloodmobiltf. Those who wish to donate are asked to call the Red Cross office.

processing blood Into gamma globulin for use in the fight against paralysis from polio Is a new service of the American Red Cross, Beck Because of this added responsibility, the Red Cross has been called upon to undertake an urgent expansion of Its defense blood program, Beck reported. National Goal Of 93 Million During the past two years experiments have been conducted at Provo. Utah; Houston, and Sioux City, under the auspices of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The Red Cross provided the gamma globulin which was used In these experiments. Beck explains that the Office of Defense Mobilization has the responsibility for allocating the nation's blood supplies.

It was that office which requested that the Red Cross collect the additional blood needed for making gamma globulin. It been estimated that this program alone Would cost a minimum of seven million dollars this year. The added expense brought the total im national fund goal tip to 93 million dollars. Since the amount of needed will far exceed supply, the ODM has requested that the National Research Council de- termlne the best allocation and distribution method tft time fot the next polio season. Serum Paratyris The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis Indicates from past experience that poliomyelitis will strike In epidemic proportions in about 150 counties next summer and that some two million children will be exposed to the disease.

Beck cautioned against the public belief that gamma globulin is a vacclnfe against contraction of the disease. He said, "This is only a serum Which, when administered to a person who. has been exposed to the disease, minimizes or prevents the destruction of nerve tissue by the polio virus. The globulin seems to be effective in prevention of paralysis for a period of one to five weekS following exposure." Residents of Stephenson County are urged by Beck and other Red Cross workers to "answer the call this month when the Red Cross volunteer worker conies to their door for their Red Cross membership.
