Temporary lmmunizution
Against Measles
Muy Be Had Now

Holmes County's Health Department
now has something to immunize tempo
rsrily persons exposed to measles which
If taken three or four days after ex-
posure will prevent the disease. If the
dose is taken seven to eight days after
exposure the case will be very light and
at the same time immunize the person
against further disease.
This immunization against measles
Is made possible by the anti-bodies
found in the residue of whole blood
rendered for plasma. 1t is especially
helpful when small children. sick pa.
tients or old people are exposed tc
measles and makes it possible for them
to es""~" r." disease altogether or have
very light case. The disease usually
develops nine to twelve days after ex.
| posure.
The Health Department has a supply
of anti-bodies to furnish Holmes coun.
ty doctors free to administer their pa.
| tients or the serum may be taken al
the Health office or in the county
| clinics.

A record shipment OF 5,4oo
pounds of used clothing left Will
mington yesterday, indicating that
the United Nations Clothing Col
lection in this area is getting into
high gear, according to Wilbur X.
Dosher, campaign chairman. The
total amount shipped to date IS
now about 7,400 pounds.
It is impossible to estimate the
amount of clothing now on hama
at the 100 odd receiving stations
Dosher said, but it is safe to say
that it is many times the amount
already shipped, judging from tn ne
reports received during the last 40
hours.
The chairman also called atten-
ton again to the special matinee
this morning at the Carolina thea
ter. The admission price to all
young people of the community
will be a bundle of used clothing.
