In Indiana it is estimated that these diseases afflict more than 648,000. “In addition to the human loss and suffering caused by these diseases,” Parsons said, “they will place a $17.3 billion burden on the economy this year.

During February an educational campaign is being conducted here as part of a nationwide drive to inform citizens about the heart and blood vessel diseases and the steps they can take .to safeguard their families.

Dr. Meyers even returned a call later saying he would be available all evening if needed. Syracuse has two citizens of whom to be proud. We the parents thank them. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lanman, Munster Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Blackmun, Hammond
