Moil mmm i Monday, Feb. 22, 1965 A-7 The Ventura County (Calif.) Star-Free Press Volunteers Needed For Annual Heart Sunday Collection Drive By JACK SMALLEY table of towns in the long valleys of West Virginia Oak Hill, where we paid $1,604 to buy time on WOAY-TV for those hard hitting, five-minute talks by Kennedy. Hunting-ton and WHTN: Charleston, Bluefield, Parkersburg, Steubenville, and Wheeling. That town in the limerick was a key point and time for the spots cost $1,364. And all politicals are cash-on-the-line.

After the West Virginia victory the primary in Indiana was a sort of anticlimax. One station, where we paid $486 for radio spots, was aptly named: WISH, Indianapolis. And the wish came true. 'One For One' Will Be Slogan Of William Brady William B. Brady of Oxnard has volunteered to serve as chairman of the Ventura County Heart Sunday drive.

Brady, 1110 Dahlia is a member of the Life Underwriters Association, which spearheads the Heart Fund Drive. Again witn the slogan One for the Heart Sunday Campaign goal is to reach every family in the county during the drive this weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Brady is hoping that each family in the county will donate one dollar for the number one killer, heart disease. According to statistics, one out of every two Americans now living will die from heart and blood vessel diseases. Almost one million Americans are killed each year by heart disease.

During 1364 contributions from Ventura County families benefited professional education, public education, community service, fund raising, administration. public information, reorganization and research grants. All are steps to the greatest possible help in the combat of heart disease. La Avenida La Avenida Grange 655 will meet Thursday, 6:30 p.m., in the E. P.

Foster School for a potluck dinner. Candy Hull, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hull, 300 En-cino Drive, Oak View, has been named chairman of the Heart Sunday Drive in Oak View. As chairman Candy will be working with three other high school girls appealing to residents of Oak View to volunteer their services for the door-to-door collection for the Ventura County Heart Association Sunday.

More volunteers are needed and a representative of your Heart Association may ask you to devote two hours to the Heart Fund this Sunday, Candy said. Volunteers will distribute heart-saving information and receive donations for the county fund. The Heart Sunday canvass in Oak View will be one of more than 6,500 being conducted by more than 1,750,000 volunteers during this month throughout the nation. Candys committee includes Linda Ronk, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

H. W. Ronk, 79 Monterey Drive; Beverly Ritchie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Ritchie, 145 Alto Drive; and Karen Desautelle, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. C. L. Desautelle 15 Del Valle Drive, all of Oak View. Oak View residents who are interested in volunteering this weekend may contact Candy, 649-1769.

According to Robert Wolf of the Ventura County Heart Association, the first Heart Fund campaign was conducted in 1949 and since that time 100 million Heart Fund dollars have been channeled into heart and blood vessel research, saving thousands of lives. More than of that amount came from Ventura county. For the first time, we are now starting to see a reversal in the cardiovascular death rate applying to the American wage earner, Wolf stated. Since 1950, the death rate for men aged 45-65 has declined 7Va per cent. The funds collected by Heart Sunday volunteers have helped make this possible, Wolf continued.

He stressed that it is significant that this improvement has been achieved during the lifespan of the Heart Fund.

Wheeler, superin- Greet Members attended with his family. Others may remember Jack Kennedy in the first cool nights and crisp days of November when he won the presidency.

But I remember him when the soft, white blooms of the almond trees mark the spring and the grass is the emerald of old Ireland. Because that is when the great adventure began. We were sitting in the warm patio outside the little restaurant on Sunset Boulevard, Jack Denove and old friends talking about the Dream. Kennedy can win, Jack said quietly. He is an immens-ly capable producer of films, and a former fellow ad man.

We need your help, he added. You can count on it, I said. Was the idea of this little-known senator coming out of nowhere to become President of the United States a bit fantastic? Not in springtime, when anything seems possible. As we see it, the plan hinges on winning the primary election in West Virginia, said Jack. The primaries were in May.

Not much time. Denove described the plan of campaign. Jack Kennedy will arrive in a selected town. I will have a camera set up where theres a good, identifiable background say a courthouse. The camera will attract people.

Jack shakes hands, on camera. Then we cut to a close shot with Jack making a two-or three-minute talk. Whats the basic selling theme? I asked, speaking advertising lingo. It's simple You and Kennedy. He'll take a stand on everything.

Lay the issues on the line. I looked down into my cooling beef stew. Including his religion? He will lay that on the line, too, said Denove. A mans religion is his own affair thats what this country is based on. The almond trees are abloom in Ventura, just as they were in 1960, such a few short years ago, such a monumental distance out of reach from now.

Yet I can still see the time LINDA LEE HAYS Hays-Canet Troth Revealed, June Wedding Planned The engagement of Lynda Lee Hays and Robert Keith Ca-net was announced at the home of her grandparents, Mr and Mrs. Doe Woods, 3817 Mound Ventura, by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William A.

Look what happened to Harold Stassen. Stassen had been sunk without a trace in his radio debate with Tom Dewey. Hell debate, Denove said confidently. Of course when the debate is over Dick will be a dead duck and Kennedy will be President. I paid for the lunch.

That was long ago and many heartbreaks away. The bright young warrior is dead. Yet the work was not in vain. He set in motion great things, which in due time will be accomplished. But I remember best the spirit of great expectations the spirit of spring.

in the Alice Bartlett Clubhouse for a potluck luncheon honor-ling past matrons. tendent of Chanslor Western Oil and Development Company, was guest speaker at the Thursday meeting of the Desk and Derrick Club of Ventura. Speaking to the women in the Colonial House Restaurant, Oxnard, Wheeler gave a brief resume of the formation of oil from 10 million years ago to the present time, detailing complicated formations, faulting, tight sands and other problems which are encountered with the production of oil, such as those related to the transition of the Rincon from grazing land to oil producer. Wheeler discussed the increase of production since the inauguration of the second was-terflood. Where most oil companies now contract the drilling of new wells, his company finds it more profitable to drill its own wells.

Wheeler illustrated his talk with color slides. Included were many slides taken at the Sixth World Petroleum Congress in Frankfort, Germany.
