Red Cross Allocates
1,000 CCs Gamma
Globulin Free of Charge
JUNEAU — An allocation of
1,000 cubic centimeters of gamma
globulin serum has been made
for Alaska by the American Na
tional Red Cross blood program,
according to Dr. Harry V. Gib
son, acting commissioner of
health.
The serum is furnished free to
the states and territories by the
Red Cross and is available free
of charge to physicians thruout
Alaska. It is distributed to them
on their request to the Alaska
Department of Health laboratories
as long as the supply permits. The
serum may be purchased com
mercially but is expensive, Dr.
Gibson said.
Gamma globulin is used pri
marily in combatting measles and
infectious hepatitis (jaundice).
Persons known to have been in
contact with active cases of these
j diseases may be inoculated with
| the serum as a preventive mea
i sure to developing the illness
themselves. Prior to development
of the Salk vaccine gamma glob
ulin inoculations were given as a
polio preventive measure.
The gamma globulin serum is de
rived from outdated or otherwise
unusable blood from the 51 blood
centers in the American Red |
Cross blood program.

First Grader Almost
Freezes — She Didn’t
Know School' was Closed
SOUTH FULTON, Tenn., UP)—
Deborah Lynn Beard was puzzled
when she arrived at school to
find the doors locked yesterday.
Deborah, a 6 - year - old first
grader, waited.
Temperatures were below zero
and Deborah’s face was blue with
cold. Still she waited, unaware
the school had been closed due
to bitter weather.
She waited an hour and a half.
At 9 o’clock, Herman Roach, a
bus driver, stopped at a gasoline
station across the street. He saw
Deborah hunched on the steps,
her head drooping almost to her
lap.
Roach called to the little girl.
She tried to get up and fell for
ward. He carried her to a nearby
house. A physician was called.
Deborah, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Chuck Lynn Beard, is recov
ering from a severe case of ex
posure. Beard operates a whole
sale florist company.
He said one of his employes
drove Deborah to school. No one
of the family had heard the school
had closed.
