Hear t Fund needs volunteers The Heart and Stroke Founda­ tion of Ontario, Huron County Chapter, is still looking for volun­ teers for the February campaign to support the research that saves more lives. Ifyou are willing to give some time, contact Walter Mc­ Clure if you live in McKillop, Hullett, Morris or Grey Townships and Shelly Hartman if you live in Colborne, East and West Wawa- nosh or Ashfield Townships. This is an opportunity for you to take a personal part in the battle against Canada’s leading health threats, heart attack and stroke. These related diseases kill more people than all other causes of death combined. Over the past quarter century, research supported by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario has revolutionized heart disease and stroke health care. Heart attacks are down 34 per cent and stroke is down by 25 per cent. But much more must be done before heart disease and stroke lose their position as the number one killer in Canada. By volunteering during Febru­ ary, you may be helping to ensure your own health or the health of someone you love. As a door-to- door canvasser, you can get to know your own community better and as you talk to people about heart and stroke, you’ll be helping toeducatethem in the life-style changes that lead to reduced risk of heart disease and stroke. In Blyth and the surrounding area the pressing need is for door-to-door canvassers to join the 70,000 volunteers across Ontario who are working to support the research that saves more lives. Barney Goldsmith, Campaign Chairman announces this year’s objective for Huron County is $53,000 plus an additiona $2,500 for the Robarts Research Institute in London.
