Show Gov. Clyde Proclaims Feb. Heart Month Governor George D. Clyde proclaimed February to be Heart Month in Utah in a statement signed Friday in his office. The governor said leading heart authorities agree that medical med-ical science is on the verge of important break-throughs. He called upon local citizens to help speed the research advances so urgently needed to alleviate the suffering and protect hearts in the state. "I urge our citizens, through their business, civic and service organizations and in their family circles to assist in achieving this victory by contributing generously gener-ously to the Heart Fund of the Utah Heart Association," he said. The Heart Fund drive begins here tomorrow and will continue all month. It will reach a high point Sunday during Heart Sunday Sun-day weekend when thousands of volunteers will ring doorbells in the residential areas of the state to receive contributions from their neighbors. The Utah Heart Association is an affiliate of the American Association, As-sociation, the nation's only voluntary vol-untary health agency dedicated exclusively to combating heart and blood vessel diseases, which account for more deaths each year than all other causes of death combined. |
