Most of the soliciting is also done by 1-2 1 A i 1 high school organizations such as the Sunshine Society or similar groups. i When the Heart Fund volunteer comes to your door, it would be well to remember several things.

There are three main lines of defense to heart dis- ease research, your doctor, and your Heart Association.

Your Heart Fund dollars bring all three to aether in one effort to conquer the diseases that threaten your heart. You have the assurance of the doctors and scientists who stand behind your Heart Association that every dollar you contribute to the Heart Fund will be used in the best way possible to protect your heart and the hearts of those you love. So, when the Heart Fund volunteer knocks at your door, remember that "More will live, the more you give."
