McHenry County has been chos¬ en by the Heart Fund as the site for a new experiment in fund sol¬ icitation which will involve no door-to-door canvassing, is was ann¬ ounced today by John R. Tamlione, M.D., President of the McHenry County Heart Association.
Dr. Tambone said "We are con- vinced that the public realizes the importance of contributing to the Heart Fund, since it is the nation's first line of defense against dis¬ eases of the heart and blood vess¬ els which strike down more people each year than all other diseases combined.
"With this in mind," he said, "we will establish Heart Collection centers in each community. We will publicize the location of these centers and residents will be en¬ couraged to bring their gifts to the nearest center or mail them to the center of their choice."
Contributions from the Huntley area should be sent to Mrs. Don¬ ald Enstrom, 12 Coral St., P.O. Box   373,  Huntley,  Illinois.
He said each Collection Center would provide daily reports of con tiibutions through a Chainnan "to keep the public fully informed of campaign progress." Weekly re¬ ports will be provided by James Hodges, McHenry -Coun^ Heart Fund Treasurer, on total collect¬ ions from centers throughout the county.
Dr. Tambone emphasized the need for increased contributions, saying "the Heart Fund supports vital research which has already been responsible for major advan¬ ces in the control of heart and blood vessel diseases. It has also been responsible for educational pro¬ grams which enable the public to Safeguard itself against the occur¬ rence of these diseases."
He said "I am convinced that the citizens of McHenry County will give and give generously to this very worth while cause."
