high point on Monday, Febru-
ary 21 when approximately 150
Heart volunteers commence a
7 day canvass of residences in

by Mrs. Henry Swain, Heart

cipated that all residential vis-
its will be completed and that
kits will be turned in not later

grams of the Young County

of the American Heart Associa-
tion, the only national volun-
tary health agency devoted ex-
clusively to combating diseases
of the heart and blood veasels.
During the last year for which
vital statistics are available
these diseases were responsi-
ble for 47 of 196 deaths in
Young County, while in the na-
tion they account for approxi-
mately 54 per cent of all deaths
each year.

at the homes of between 10
and 12 neighbors, distributing
helpful information about the
heart diseases and receiving
contributions tor the Heart
Fund.
Emphasizing the uniqueness
of Heart Cause, Mrs. Swain
pointed out that Heart Fund con-
tributions go to fight a vast
complex of diseases, among
them heart attack, stroke, har-
dening of the arteries, high
blood pressure, rheumatic fev-
er and inborn heart defects.
