Inelized from access roads by

hope for the hearts of all Ameri-
cans and setting in motion similar
t ore h-lighting cerem onieS
throughout the nation. General
Mark w. Clark, tional
Chairman of the 1856 Heart
Fund Drive. said the campaign
will reach its climax on Heart
Sunday, February 26. when more
than 100000 volunteer workers in
over 5000 communities will con-
duct houSe-to-house collections in
behalf of the Heart Fund.
In North Carolina, William D.
Carmichael. Jr. of Chapel Hill,
chairman of the State Campaign
Committee, stated that as of mid
January. over 100 communities in
this state were organized to join in
the Heart Fund Drive, with more
amp align committees being
formed daily. "We expect Heart
Sunday to find thousands of Tar
+ eelS marching through the
streets of their towns, ringing
their neighbors' doorbelIs, and &C
cepting donations for Heart" said
Mr. Carmichael. In this state, as
elsewhere in the nation. people are
realizing that diseases of the
heart and blood vessels account
for over half of all deaths, and
they have come to believe that the
greatest hope for combating this
killer lies in obtaining more
knowledge about how to fight
it."
In addition to supporting ma
tional and state heart research
projects. Mr.. Carmichael added,
money raised in the drive is spent
on service to local communities in
keeping physicians abreast of the
latest developments in diagnosis
and treatment, and in educating
the public On what is known about
prevention and care. "We need to
know a lot more, however," said
Mr.. Carmichael. "That is why we
suggest that people regard their
giving TO the Heart Fund as an in
vestment in their own future, as
well as in the health of America"
