Page SIXTEEN THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1957 ^ Pour ^ HEART FACTS ABOUT THE 1957 HEART FUND SPONSORSHIP The American Heart Association sponsors the Heart Fund through its 57 affiliates, most of them organized on a state wide basis. WHAT IS THE HEART FUND THEME ? Hope is the underlying theme of the Heart Fund—hope that re search, reinforced by education and community heart pro grams, will lead to eventual control of the heart diseases. The Heart Fund slogan is: “Help Your Heart Fund—Help Your Heart.” OBJECTIVE The Heart Fund supports research, education and community heart programs aimed at reducing disability and death from the heart and blood vessel diseases. DIVISION OF FUNDS Of the funds raised, the larger portion remains in the area of collection to support the programs of the state and local Heart Associations. The remainder goes to advance nationwide re search, education and community service programs of the American Heart Association. Hopeful Facts Everybody Should Know / Some forms of heart disease can be prevented, a few cured. All heart cases can be cared for best if diagnosed early. Almost every heart condition can be helped by proper treatment. Most heart patients can keep on working — often at the same job. Your “symptom” may not mean heart disease. Don’t guess. See your doctor and be sure. Moore County Heart Fund Committee of Ihe NORTH CAROLINA HEART ASSOCIATION Mrs. R, M.

Dear Friend: It is time to call your attention to the annual Hearf Fund Campaign which IS again being conducted on behalf: of the American Heart Associa tion, and to acquaint you with the local organization through which vour contribution may be made. As the improved standard of living and the amazing progress in public health and medicine have resulted in an ever longer life expectancy illness and death resulting from diseases of the heart and blood vessels have steadily increased. The great need for further study of the many unsolved problems in tjie fields of cause, prevention, and the treatment of heart disease is obvious. ^ The importance of acquainting physicians, nurses and the general population with recently acquired knowledge is similarlv important. ^ When you make your donation to the Heart Fund, you are con- tributing to the organization which is doing so much to acquaint all of us with the known facts and to see that our knowledge is steadily increased. Study and research must be carried out until heart disease is decreased. ^ by '^beck to Heart Fund Campaign, Mrs. Garland McPherson, Treasurer. ^ Sincerely yours, 7h. The.
