The foundation was estab- ‘lished in 1955 for the primary 2 = purpose of supporting research tinto heart and blood vessel ‘related disease. The appeal in Castlegar is part of a country- ride campaign to raise funds juring the month of February. Over the years since its ception, the foundation has ade available educational ma- :terials stressing preventative Smeasures te reduce the risk of ‘heart disease. ‘+ Of the monies raised, 72 cents of each dollar goes direct-' ly to support research, 17 cents to educational activity and com- munity assistance programs, and the remaining 11 cents is expended on administration. The research effort is national and the review of grants is conducted on both a national and provincial basis so as to avoid duplication and promote coordination of effort. The cost of research grows ever * More expensive and requires the foundation to raise very large sums of money each year. The importance of the Heart Fund is now greater than ever since a ER, have “oan HOSTESS may not have the world ona string, but she knows your community inside out, iH you're new in town, call her today!

Bonnett ‘West Kootenay Area Coordinator ing While’ this is gratifying, we are ‘alarmed that the federal and provincia! gov- ernments have set such a low priority on the needs of research funding. A volun- tary health agency should complement much greater government funding rath- er than exceed such fund- ing.” The Canadian Heart Foun- dation, in the period 1955 to 1977 spent more than $57 million on research; the 1977 contribution was close to $8-% million. In B.C. we devoted a sum in excess of $1 million to research last year and expect that figure to increase slightly in 1978, It is our experience that this kind of money does not emerge from involvement with community type appeals. We know that to secure money to support research on a con- tinuing basis we have to make a personal approach to each and every household. In knocking on doors our volunteers solicit donations but also provide preventative in- formation in the form of a leaflet detailing risk factors and early warning signs of heart attack. Qur stock of educational materials is large covering, as it must, a variety of subjects such as smoking, exercise, diet, and congenital defects. To offer literature and films free to any resident of B.C. requires that we allocate a generous budget to education, The foundation has the highest regard for the principle ‘of combined community appeals but believes that a problem such as cardiovascular disease is ona different scale requiring an approach on a national and provincial level if answers are to be found, ° Our readers are In- vited to express thelr views freely In letters to the editor.

Now, after merging Fields with the Zeller's chain of 155 stores, Segal says he hopes to make Zeller's one of the top 10 non-food retailers in Canada. The success of the take- over bid discloses a tough determination and buying as- tuteness for which Fields has become renowned.

Segal, emerging from the scuffle unscarred, says the “acquisition of Zeller's was not what we will ever term a dream: —it was by design.” “Anything worth having is worth fighting for, he said in a recent interview, : Industry watchers agree that. acquiring a 51-per-cent interést in Zeller’s was a very good bargain for the price paid.
