German measles grow
WHITE PLAINSJN.Y. -
Rubella (German measles), the
disease that can damage or kill
unborn babies, is up more
sharply in 1977 than any of
the infectious diseases that are
the targets of current
immunization efforts, says Dr.
Arthur J. Salisbury, vice
president for medical services
of The National
Foundation-March of Dimes.
If a pregnant woman
becomes infected during the
early stage of her pregnancy,
her unborn baby is in danger of
death, mental retardation,
deafness, heart disease, and
blindness.
The 18,428 rubella cases
reported nationally by the
Center for Disease Control
(CDC) through September 3,
represent a 75 per cent increase
over the 10,520 cases reported
for'the same period a year ago.
fn contrast, CDC figures
show that mumps have
declined by 53 per cent, and
diphtheria by 54 per cent. Red
measles (Rubeola) are up by 55
per cent. Only 7 cases of polio
are reported this year.
Os particular concern in the
rising pattern of rubella is that

DEATHS UNNECESSARY
“No woman need die of cancer

are more open to catching the
disease.
Since the rubella vaccine was
licensed in 1969, immunization
campaigns have been directed
primarily at children one to 12.
This is the age group most
likely to spread the infection
to pregnant women. While
reported rubella nationwide
has fallen two-thirds below
prevaccine levels, about 7.8
million unvaccinated children
are still open to catch the
disease.
Dr. Salisbury cautions
parents that vaccination against
rubeola (red measles) does not
protect a person against
rubella.
Prevention of severe, even
fatal birth defects caused by
rubella is within control This
means expanding routine
vaccination for young children
and selective immunization of
nonpregnant adolescents and
young women. The virus in the
vaccine may damage the
unborn baby, in the same way
as the natural rubella virus. For
this reason, women of
childbearing age should not be
vaccinated unless it is certain
they are not pregnant and
understand they should not
become pregnant within three
months.

It’s so easy,
it’s fun.
Coming Friday, September 30th
You won t believe it until you try it...the new Georgia Express Automated Teller
System which opens at five locations of the Georgia Railroad Bank Friday, September 30th.
It’s the easiest to use automated teller system ever devised.
The Georgia Express Card is a ticket to 24-hour banking 365 days a year. You can
use it to make cash withdrawals, transfer money from one bank account to another, make
loan or credit card payments and even check your balance on any account. You can do
virtually anything a teller can do, and you can do it for yourself, any time of the day or night.
Unlike some automated tellers, The Georgia Express is so easy to use it’s actually
fun. All you have to do is insert your Georgia Express card and simple instructions are
flashed on a television screen telling you which button to push for the banking service you
desire. Yo.u can bank instantly and easily on your own schedule, days, nights, weekends, or
holidays. And, once you’ve tried The Georgia Express, you’ll never stand in line at a teller’s
window again, either.
The Georgia Express Stations are located at Center West, Daniel Village
Shopping Center, Highway 1 South and Lumpkin Road, the lobby of the Georgia
Railroad Bank Building and Eisenhower Hospital, Fort Gordon.
