(Participating in many I Youi Contribution of Money * Crippling Polio! r ■ i 6IVK BLOOD NOW! GAMMA GLOBULIN TAKK$ 3 MONTHS TO MAKKI MUST BE READY IN TIME POR PEAK. POLIO SEASONI ontrolled medical tests show that Gamma Globulin has often helped ! prevent the crippling paralyzing ef fects of Polio. (The major use of Gamma Globulin up to this time has been in the prevention and control of measles and infectious hepatitis.) By injecting children with Gamma Globulin the incidence of paralysis in Polio has been greatly reduced. Gamma Globulin is made from human blood. Blood that only you can give. WHAT 1$ GAMMA GLOBULIN? amma Globulin is that part of .human blood which contains “anti bodies” built up in the blood stream as die result of the human body fighting disease. Long after the in fading Polio virus is gone, “antibodies” remain in the blood— sometimes for life! By collecting this con- oentrated substance which contains the “antibodies” i % —and inoculating persona with it. Gamma Globulin has greatly reduced the crippling effects of Polio in many cases treated. YOU MAY HAVE HAD POLIOI "ou may have had mild Polio ... but never knew it. (Most of us have been exposed to Polio ... and suc cessfully fought it off without de veloping paralysis.) What happened? Simply this: When Polio virus entered your body, certain cells produced “anti bodies” which are still in your blood. These protec tive “antibodies” either dissolved the Polio virus.. dr helped your white blood cells destroy them. GAMMA GLOBULIN NOT A “CURE-ALL” t must be stressed that Gamma globulin is not a “cure-all.” How- ■ ever, recent field tests scientifically demonstrate that Gamma Globulin does give temporary protection against the paralytic effects of Polio. STOCK PILE CRITICALLY LOW PTTT here is now not nearly enough blood I available for Polio use . . « espe- 'Jr*- dally if an epidemic should again strike this summer. Because it takes one pint of blood to make one dose of Gamma Globulin for the average child . . . and because Gamma Globulin protection lasts only a short time ... it is obvious that more and more Mood is urgently needed. “LATER” WILL BE TOO LATE I ince Gamma Globulin must ~ be l processed or “fractionated” from pooled blood derivatives, it takes three long months before your blood can be made into Gamma Globulin. That’s why it is important that you give blood now! Yes, helping prevent Polio is one more reason—a powerful, compelling reason—why you should give Mood NOW! tf enough blood can be secured quickly. - K.*.aK.S. . , ‘.V .. - - I . . • . ■ • . S • A America’s desperately small stock pile of Gamma Globulin may be built up in time for the peak Polio season ahead. ARMED FORCES GET WHOLE BLOOD FIRST s it should be, our Armed Forces get first call on all blood donated. 'Because if a badly wounded Ameri can soldier doesn’t have whole blood immediately, he dies. Blood is needed at home, too—for the hospitalized veteran—for emergencies and disasters on the home front—and to help build up a reserve that is large enough and mobile enough to see us through possible enemy attack. Yes, your blood donationnot only helps fight Polio, but serves all America because . . . the blood you give is used wherever it is needed most—first! You want to help in this good cause...and perhaps you hpre given Blood willingly. But with out operating funds, the collec tion of Blood in Newberry County will be discontinued on June 30th.

"The door was locked and when she didn’t an swer X called you." The other members of the house hold were Mrs. Bernice Smythe, the victim's middles ged sister, and Eric and Freida Smythe. Mrs. Smythe's thirty-year-old son and twenty-six year old daughter. Joy Burton was waiting for Urn in the hall when Sam came out and closed the door, “It’s all right to say Mrs. Creighton committed suicideT" "No," he told the pretty report* er, "It isn't suicide.** When he questioned Mr. Creigh ton, Mrs. Smythe, Eric, and Freida he - learned Ambros and Mrs. Smythe had both been in the house at the time of the "suicide." Eric had been out in the garage tinker ing with his car. Freida had driven into town earlier and returned just before Ambros called the police. Letting them believe, for the present, it was suicide, Sam drew Joy aside and asked, "What do you know about these people?" "Well," she answered. "The money all belonged to Mrs. Creigh ton, inherited from her first hus band. The others are poor relations, so to speak. "It’s rumored that Mr. Creigh ton has been seeking other inter- ssts at a certain apartment build ing up-town. "Mrs. Smythe. a widow, has fal- tow for some man with no money and not much reputation. Her sis ter didn’t approve." “Well, Erie Is quite a gambler. He made a trip to Les Vegas • few weeks ago. Since Amo he's been seeing a trfg-ttme gambler. "Freida end her aunt T gotten along amiably.

Eric Is the bathing beach type swimmer but Freida won a swimming contest about three years ago." "What about diving?"

"I couldn’t have killed her,” Freida cried. “The door was locked from the inside. I wasn't even here."
