Statement By
Governor
j Dan Moore
Daily, North Carolina loses
many of her citizens, in the 1
primt) of their lives, because of
heart and blood vessel disease.
This Red Plague, as heart dis
ease has been called, kills 13
times as many Tar Heels each
year as do automobile accidents,
four times as many as does can
cer. More than two million liv
ing Tar Heels face the evvtotua
lity of falling victim to this
Red Plague—unless wn stop its
onslaught.
The continuing progress being
male at heart Use arch centers
at Bowman Gray, the University
of North Carolina, and Duke,!
with the support of Heart Fund
dollars, offers hope) for all Tar
Heel hearts. The work of the
North Carolina Heart Association
in research, community service,
physic's)) education and commun
ity health education is worthy
of the interest and support of all,
I North Carolinians from Wancheseij
tto Wehutty.

support it, and work for 'it, and to
be thankful for it.
I declare the month of February

Carolinians that they redouble
their year-round concern for the
fight against the heart and blood
