Head Named
Mrs. Robert Anderson will
be chairman of the Curry Coun­
ty Heart Fund Drive for 1966.
Her husband, who Is manager

ings, will be the county treas­
urer, It was announced today

Chairman of the Heart Fund.
The Heart Fund Campaign

ruary when contributions will

search, education, and public
service programs oftheOregon

Mrs. Anderson said, "The
control of our number one health
enemy, heart disease, Is a clear
challenge. Since 1950, the Heart
Association reports a 7 1/2%
decline In the cardiovascular
death rate. For the first time
in medical history, d e a t h s
from high blood pressure and
the heart disease it causes
a r e down 50%. Deaths from
stroke have dropped 26%. As a
result, tens of thousands of
men between 45 and 65 have
been saved from premature
death.”
"We can accelerate the rate
of progress toward conquest
of these diseases In Oregon by
supporting, realistically and
substantially the progress of
the Oregon Heart Association,”
she added.
The Heart Fund volunteers
serve a two-fold purpose, Mrs.
Anderson explained. They will
leave leaflets containing helpful
information this year on how
to reduce the risk factors of
heart attack, and receive Heart
Sunday contributions.
