Show Rheumatic Fever Drive Continues; Response Urged Stressing the point that Rheumatic Rheu-matic Fever and rheumatic heart disease cause five times as many deaths as infantile paralysis, whooping cough, diphtheria, scar-f scar-f t fever, meases and cerebrospin-meningitis cerebrospin-meningitis combined, members of the local campaign committee are r making an urgent plea to everyone every-one to help combat this dease. There will not be a house canvas conducted, but voluntary contributions contribu-tions will be received by Chairman Naomi Thorn or Dr. Robert Jenkins. Jen-kins. Also schools, clubs and other civic organizations will be expected expec-ted to contribute and many have already responded. Funds derived from the current drive will assist in research work and also aid the Convalescent home, located across from the Utah Valley Val-ley hospital in Provo. Rheumatic fever is responsible for approximately 90 per cent of the heart disease in children. And for some unknown reason, the disease dis-ease seems to be more prevalent in Utah than in most other states, thus making our responsibility greater in this vicinity. . Chairmen ask that townspeople, in making their contributions, do not mistake the little plastic hearts in a number of business places, for the Red Heart (Rheumatic Fever) drive. BACK TO WORK . , .
