We'll get out of the way if

night. President Dwight D. Eisen-
hover called up on the American
people to support the efforts of
physicians, medical scientists and
laymen throughout the country

termined effort to achieve ulti-
mate victory over he diseases of
the heart" The Presidents state
ment was presented through DR..
Paul Dudley White, eminent hear
specialist, in Chicago at dinner
opening the 1856 Heart Fund cam
paign, which will be conducted
throughout February by the Amer
lean Heart Association and its af-
1iliateS, including the North Caro-
lima Heart Association.
The text of the message, ad-
dressed to the American Heart
Association. follows:
In observance of American
Heart Month, I extend cordial
greetings to physicians, medical
scientists and laymen throughout
the country who have joined
hands in a determined effort to
achieve ultimate victory over the
diseases of the heart.
Because these diseases consti-
tute a foremost national health
problem, and because they pose a
constant threat to the welfare of
almost every American family, the
Importance of this effort can
scarcely be overstated. 1t is an
en0eavor which commands the
understanding, the sympathy and
the admiration of every citizen.
Especially gratifying to me is
the fact that hope, rather than
fear, is the keynote of the pro-
gram. Optimism is fully justified
by the recent achievements Of
heart research, which toreshadoW
even more dramatic advances in
the days ahead.
"AS medical scientists press for
ward in the search for vital
knowledge, and as physicians
move to apply this knowledge for
the benefit of all humanity, with
them go the prayers and hopes
of all Americans. May God speed
their mission"

"Americanism," said Miss Cara

of freedom and justice, it is time

we understand the spirit of Amer

The National Society, OAR,
Miss Carraway declared, does
everything within its power to
keep green the memory of George
Washington, whose birthday falls
next month, and that of the other
patriots who helped to make this
country free.

Gated by the OAR. at Valley
