lie ahead in the new year, Fran

Over Half Os Newton Deaths
Due To Heart Diseases In 1967
During 1967, more than half
(52.6%) of all deaths in the State
of Georgia were due to cardio
vascular diseases. Specifically,
of the 28,448 Georgians who died
in 1967, 20,235 of them died from
heart disease,
In the five-county metropoli=-
tan area, i.e, Fulton, DeKalb,
Gwinnett, Clayton and Cobb co
unties, the total number of dea=-
ths from heart diseases in 1967
was 6,633, or 1,918 more than
in 1966,
According to Simone Brocato,
plained that the February school
project would be to clean the se=-
ven Senior home rooms,
Karen O’Kelly, Community
Project Chairman, explained that
the community projects in ob=
servance of YMCA Week would
be the special church service
and the making of posters to ad=
vertise this service, Karen al=
so stated that the February pro
ject would include many contri=
butions to nursing homes and the
hospital,
President Carolyn urged all

still leading the Northeast Dis=
trict in total number of points,
Vice-President Barbara Mit=
chell then introduced Reverend
Claud Healan, Jr, as the speak
er for the meeting, Reverend
Healan presented very thought=-
provoking ideas on the topic,
‘“After Graduation-What?”
Byway of the story of a small
boy’s dreams, Reverend Healan
pointed out that there were three
types of people: those who had
no desire and were satisfied with
the cheap, temporary things of
life; those who looked a little
farther and found the ordinary
things of life; those who had
enough patience to continue sear=
ching for the best things of life,
Only by the proper relationship
with God and man cananyone find
the truly best things of life,
After the conclusion of this
challenging talk, the members
stood and repeated the benedic=
tion, and the meeting was ad
journed,

cause of the Industrial Revolu=
tion and the influx of young peo=
ple to the cities, this small

THE COVINGTON NEWS
M.D,, Columbus internist and
President of the Georgia Heart
Association, ‘“One is keenly and
painfully aware of these vital
statistics, aware that heart dis
eases kill more Georgians than
any other cause,” Dr, Brocato
noted that the Georgia Heart
Association is made up of a body
of physicians and volunteers
numbering in the thousands, who
all believe strongly in the ob
jectives of the Heart Association,
“It's up to all of us to help
the Heart Association in its fight
against this ferocious killer,”
Dr. Brocato said, Hecommented
on the fact that the Heart Asso
ciation pours funds into research,
education and community ser=-
vice yearly, and that the pre
ventive measures outlined by the
Heart Association for the public
are rules of common sense and
safety,
There were 17 fewer deaths in
1967 in the state of Georgia,
from all causes, But there
were 165 more deaths from he
art disease in 1967 than there
were in 1966,
‘“We must batter away at these
statistics,”” Dr, Brocato said.
¢“We owe it to the thousands of
volunteers and scientists who
have dedicated themselves and
their talents to the Heart cause,
but most of all we owe it to
ourselves, We help the Heart
Fund, and we help our hearts,”
In Newton County in 1967 the
total deaths were 252, Os these
there were 135 deaths due to
heart diseases, The heart dea~-
ths are therefore 53,5% of all
deaths during that year, In
1966 the percentage was 49.1%.
