Congratulations must also go to their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Forder and Mr. and Mrs. William Ste- phens who constantly guide and inspire them to greater and greater efforts. Another person who deserves a great deal of cred' for their progress and success is Mr. John Wild, coach / and instructor, who is guiding the young skaters in their steady climb to the top. There are very few countries in the World, if any, where figure skating has taken such hold as in Canada, and competition is becoming increasingly keen as more skaters develop. , There is more to it than that skaters enjoy this beau- tiful and clean sport. It takes hours upon hours of hard training, and a great deal of sacrifice on their part as well as that of their parents and coaches. Anna and Richard have an interesting but strenuous path ahead, and we wish them infinite success in their climb to the top. A Gift From The Heart Sunday, February -14 is St. Valentine's Day, the tra- ditional festival of lovers, which is celebrated by the exchange of gifts and cards as tokens of affection. The symbol of St. Valentine's Day, is of course, the constant heart. St. Valentine's Day also marks Heart Sunday, the mid-point of the annual Canadian Heart-Fund Campaign which supports the research program of the Ontario Heart Foundation into heart disease -- Canada's leading health enemy. ) } Heart disease, in one form or another, accounts for the deaths of more than 50 percent of all deaths in Can- ada. It also permanently cripples thousands of men, women and children. . Since the inception of the Canadian Heart Fund several years ago, the doctors and medical scientists in- volved in heart research have made major strides into | Remember When? : the various causes of the disease.
