Virgie Gilbert, for instance. Our ladies’ champion blood donor. Through the company program she’s given 76 pints of blood to the Red Cross. And as much as that is, it’s only a small part of the more than 42,400 pints Georgia Power employees have given in the past 20 years. Their unselfish giving has helped young leukemia sufferers, accident victims, surgery patients. Through the Red Cross, our donors have saved many lives. That very knowledge is precious payment for those who give. But our people give much more than blood. They donate their time and talents, too — to service organ izations which include Easter Seal, United Appeal, Community Chest, Salvation Army. And to youth programs such as 4-H, FHA, FFA, Junior Achieve ment, the Scouts, Youth Conference on Science and the Environment, music and journalism scholarships. We like people. And we get deeply involved. Not just at Christmas, but all year long.

MAKING A COMPLETE TOTAL OF ALL EX - PENDITURE $23,127.83 Measle Vaccine Necessary Dr. H.T. Adkins, Medical Director, Southeast Health District, issued the following statement concerning the re cent upsurge in cases of Red and Seven-day Measles in Flordia. "With the recent upsurge of reported cases of Red or Sev en-day Measles in Flordia, parents in our area should contact their physician or their local health department to be sure their child has im munity either from having had the disease or having had the the vaccine." Dr. Adkins urged parents to take advantage of the pro tection offered by the vaccine and prevent illness and poss ible physical and mental dam age to their child. "Many of the pre-school ch- ildren, ages 1 to 6 years, have not received this pro tection," Dr. Adkins contin ued. While this disease is not at epidemic proportions in our area at the present time, the disease is highly contagious, and could spread into our area at any time. It is foolish for parents to wait and risk poss ible lifelong damage to their children when the measles vaccine is so readily avail able" , Dr, Adkins continued. Measles vaccine is available through your local physician aswell as at your local health department. Any parent not certain as to their child's im munity should contact their physician or their local health department without delay.
