LETTERS
to the
EDITOR
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir: 3.
I read Fred Neubauer's ar
ticle in your paper on destroy
ing fox and he certainly did a
good job around this part Of
Geauga county several years
ago by trapping and destroying
the fox.
I lost some valuable g a n 9
chickens and I called Fred and
he sure did a good job.
Even if it is only laying and
eating fowl, fox are pests and
do no good. They destroy rab-
bits and other game. 1 certain
ly hope they keep the bounty
on.
Yours truly,
William Spielman
Nelson Ledge road,
Garrettsville, o.
Editors note: On Monday the
Geauga county commissioners

John Aumick to Direct
Heart EundDnne

John R. Aumick, assistant
treasurer of Security Federal
SAVINGS, Chardon will direct
1855 Heart Fund Drive in Ge-
auga county, it was announced
today by DR.. william P. Ed
Geauga County Health
Commissioner and 1854 Heart
Fund Executive chairman.
The new campaign chairman
is a member of the Chardon
Chamber of Commerce and the
Pilgrim Christian church.
Last year nearly 100000
Americans died of Heart dis
ease, more than all other caus-
eS combined, "Aumick said in
accepting the craftsmanship,
And when you consider that
one third of that total were
persons under the retirement
age of 65, it emphasizes the
fact that more public support
ed research is needed in this
field if medicine is to learn the
cure and prevention of tn
many types of heart and blood
vessel disease"
He pointed out that in GE-
auga county alsone, 103 deaths
out off the 205 recorded there
last year were from Heart de-
ease.
Aumick and his committees
will begin their work on the
Heart drive February /. Vol
unteer workers will call at
homes on Heart Sunday, Feb
ruary 20.
Last year Geauga county con-
tributed $5,671.60 to the Heart
Fund drive, making it the best
hearted county in the nation.
According to the total amount
of money compared to the cou-
nty's population, 81 cents per
capita was raised which was
more than any other area.
Heart disease, the nation S
number one killer, was respon-
sible for 794, 120 deaths with 6,
900 people in Cleveland alone
succumbing to it last year. II
is estimated that 100000 Am,
orleans, or about one out OF
every 16, suffer from o m c
form of heart or blood vessel
disease, and among them are
100000 school children.
The increase in the O a
number of deaths is due in part
to the fact that, with many
other disease either preventable
or comfortable, more people are
now living to the ages of Sc
and over where tn heart dis,
eases take their greater toll.
Some forms of heart disease
can be prevented now, a few
can be cured, and nearly al
cases can be helped by proper
treatment after early diagnosis
Medical research is the only
way the unknown factors ir
heart disease can be solve d
which is a costly proposition
and the big reason each year
that the Heart Society requests
civic support.
Due to this research, many
notable achievements have re-
suited in the Heart field. To
name a few, new improved
drugs have been discovered to
lower blood pressure bringing
relief to thousands. Significant
