Half Deaths Heart Disease In 20 Cities More than half the people who die in 20 cities of Nebraska died of heart disease. This was shown by statistics for 1954 in a special report pre pared for the Nebraska Heart Association, now conducting a campaign for funds in Platts mouth and other Nebraska com munities. Headed by Dr. L. S. Pucelik at Plattsmouth and former Gov- enor Robert Crosby on the state level, the Association seeks to finance research on heart prob lems. Presently heart coin boxes have been placed in Plattsmouth places of business. Wahoo has the highest per centage of heart deaths, 75 per cent, and Lexmgton the lowest, 24 per cent. The present report differs from the Bureau's reg ular report because it combines deaths due not only to the heart, but blood vessels as well. These are the diseases being fought by the Heart Association, primarily hardening of arteries, high blood pressure and rheu matic heart disease. Nest to Wahoo in the percent age of deaths due to heart and blood vessel diseases are Val entine 68 per cent, Fairbury and Holdrege 66 per cent, Wayne and York 65 per cent, Chadron 64 per cent, Broken Bow 63 per cent, Seward 62 per cent, Falls City and Columbus 61 per cent, Superior and Plattsmouth 60 per cent.
