Dm ventive anli-biotic thru Utah Heart at a cost greatly reduced to them. Secondly, a person donating to Heart should think of the people in our area who have been restored to active useful lives through heart surgery. The miracle of this fact is due wholly to Heart Research, a strategic portion of which takes place in Utah's own University School of Medicine in Salt Lake City. Nearly 40 of the total contributions con-tributions in Utah went to research here, in addition to several grants from outside the state. Thirdly, in statistics received from the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the Utah State Dept. of Health, 47.05 of all deaths in Utah during 1963 were caused by heart and circulatory fatalities. This is nearly half the total from all other causes put together. to-gether. More research is still needed need-ed to make the needed inroads in coronary thrombosis, strokes and hardening of the arteries. All this will be possible in accordance lo what your "heart" dictates your gift shall be. Remember, "The More Will Live, The More You Give To Heart". Thursday, of the board. Supt.
