Hpnrt Fund campaign chair man, reported that the 1967 to tal represented an increase of $1,314,399 over the previous high of $34,613,822 in Heart Fund gifts set in 1966. Mr. Cheatham Is chairman of the board of directors of the Georgia-Pacific Corporation. The 1967 Heart Fund total, he said, included $6,024,408 in be quests and $3,864,954 in mem orial contributions. During the residential "Heart Sunday" campaign last February, he no ted, gifts amounting to more than $11,000,000 were received. Business sources, both compa nies and their employees, gave more than $8,000,000 to the Heart Fund. All totals set rec ords, he said. Owen R. Cheatham, chair man of Georgia-Pacific Corpor ation and national Chairman of the 1967 Heart Fund campaign, said the increased contributions from all segments of the public constituted a mandate for the American Heart Association to continue and expand its cease less fight against devastating cardiovascular ills. "Diseases of the heart and blood vessels are the nation's number one killer, taking more than a million lives yearly more than half of all causes of death combined. Additionally, more than 22 and a half-million others in this land suffer from cardiovascular diseases, making these diseases the country's leading health men nee," Cheatham pointed out. He added: "Great progress has been made in the fight against these dread ailments, especially since the first Heart Fund campaign in 1949. Through ever-increasing public support over the years, the American Heart As sociation has been able to channel 133 million heart fund dollars into scientific research which has helped to save thous ands oi lives. The 1968 Heart Fund cam paign will be conducted throughout February by the As sociation and its affiliates and chapters nationwide. February 25 will be observed nationally as Heart Sunday.

Water Project Funds Get FHA Veto (Held over from last week) Br DONNA EPPENBACH IRRIGON The December meeting of the Irrigon tlty Council had all councllmcn In attendance and In a lengthy ses sion conducted business touch iniz on a number of items. Of foremost Interest was a report on progress of the water svstem. Mayor Chester wuson read a letter from Farmers Home Administration saying funds for Irrlcon'a project had been rescinded and that it was possible they would not be re- Instated before July 1, rJt. The fact that the City had not yet committed any funds, be cause of Insufficient service ap plications to assure revenue, and final engineering and is sue of bonds had been author ized, appeared to be the cause for action. Immediate applica tion for reinstatement of the funds for this fiscal year was made by FHA's county office in behalf of the city. Only a few more applications for service are needed in order to proceed immediately should funds be reinstated. Mrs. Billy Griffin requested that the City put in a water line from her well to her house as agreed when the city met a wa ter need in the area in March when the Griffin well went dry. At that time the water line from the CItv Service Building was connected into the Griffin well line and a resolution adopted to the effect that an alternate supply line would be burled 6 inches deep when they were ready to use their well again. It was also stipulated that they could purchase the pipe from the cltv when thev wished. Mrs. Griffin suggested they would buy the necessary plas tic line if the city would bury it 2 feet deep. The council felt this was asking more than the city had agreed to do, but stat ed the Job would be done as stipulated. Mrs. Griffin told the council this would not be ac ceptable to her. She was refer red to the January meeting. Three resolutions were adopt ed. Two dealing with transfer of the funds and one authoriz ing a request to the State high way department for endorse ment of a tree planting pro gram between the highway and railroad through town. The pro posed development for this spring would only be a portion of the overall plan and would be from 4th to 8th atreets. Signing of a legal services agreement with City Attorney Don Morrison for counsel dur ing construction of the water system was deferred to a later meeting.
