It will be a Heart Fund Volunteer, mak ing an annual visit to speed the war against heart and blood vessel diseases. This Heart ambassador, call ing to distribute heart-guarding information and to receive Heart Fund contributions, is in a sense a stand-in for a big crowd of people. One of them might be a child down the street whose inborn heart defect was corrected by heart surgery. Another might be the woman in the next block whose high blood pressure has been brought under control by new advances in treatment. Yet another might be a business associate who has recovered from a heart attack or an eld erly friend restored to product ive life after a stroke. Among them also might be a young ster now safeguarded against repeat attacks of rheumatic fever. You easily can guess the size of the crowd because 27 million of 200 million Americans suffer from some form of cardiovas cular disease. That means one out of eight in this community. With these same diseases res ponsible for more than half of all deaths, the importance of the Heart Volunteer’s mission can scarcely be overstated. So put out the welcome mat and remember the volunteer is working for your heart. Give generously. COURT DIRECTS . . .
