Food Town Opens Stores
Taxpayers Ask IRS
Notes St Reminders
On April 14 Charlotte will
have two additional Food
Town Stores, according to a
joint announcement made
today by Ralph Coppala,
Wilson Coppala and Ralph /
W. Ketner.
Food Town, Salisbury-
based super market chain,
has acquired the two Giant
Genie markets located on
Central Avenue and The
Plaza in Charlotte. The
Coppalas, owners of Giant
Genie, and Ketner, presi
dent of Food Town, reached
an agreement whereby
Food Town would acquire
outright the 27,000 and
18,000 square foot units.
Giant Genie will continue to
operate the store on Park
Road.
This will bring to four the
number of Food Town
Stores in Charlotte, and,
according to Ketner, seve
ral other locations are
currently under considera
tion.
With this acquisition
Food Town will be
operating 26 stores in
piedmont North Carolina,
with the twenty-seventh
unit scheduled to open in
May in Gastonia.
Sales for the super
market chain totaled $92
million for 1974, and the
firm’s stock is included in
the over-the-counter stocks
used to compute the North
Ca,rolina index.

The Veterans Admini
stration today reminded
married veterans that it is
easier than ever before to
qualify for housing assis
tance.
H.W. Johnson, Director
of the Winston-Salem VA
Regional Office, noted the
agency now accords full
recognition to incomes and
expenses of both veteran
and spouse in determining
ability to repay loan
obligations.
Johnson said VA is
required by law to
determine if contemplated
terms of repayment bear a
proper relation to the
veteran’s anticipated in
come anS expenses before
approving the loan.
“But while the spouse’s
income has always been
considered,” Johnson ex
plained, “local rules some
times had the effect of
discounting the spouse’s
income. Now, however, no
such local rules are
imposed, and the spouse’s
income is given full
consideration.”
VA guarantees 60 per
cent of GI loans (maximum
$17,500) private lenders
make to military service
personnel, veterans and
eligible spouses of World
War 11, Korean and
post-Korean Conflicts and
the Vietnam-era.

determine if and to what
degree Southern is liable.
The tools of Fred’s trade
include a dictaphone which
he uses in taking recorded
statements from persons
involved, a camera for
pictures and measuring
devices for determining
footage. He works with
report forms on which he
draws sketches to accom
pany an analysis of what
actually happened at the
site of an accident. His
investigation in some
respects parallels that of a
police officer at the scene of
an automobile accident.
Fred’s work on a case
does not end with the initial
investigation. He follows
through, working with
persons involved, with the
objective of settling any
valid claims or, in some
cases, collecting for da
mage to Southern’s proper
ty. Sometimes court action
is involved and Southern’s
legal staff takes over. Fred
works closely in court cases
to provide information or
advice, and to arrange for
the attendance of wit
nesses. He also consults
with Southern’s district
claim agent in Charlotte,'
North Carolina, on cases
that he investigates.
“We try to get it over to
the public that trainmen do
not deliberately run up and
down the track without
regard to life or property,”
he said in his most serious
tone. Fred is disturbed that
people involved in automo
bile-locomotive accidents at
crossings ususally confess
that “either they thought
they could beat the train or
they just didn’t pay close
enough attention to warn
ing bells and lights at
crossings.”
Fred admits that he was
somewhat surprised but
most pleased by Southern's
across the board, uncom
promising emphasis on
safety. “From time to time
I attend workshops, district
meetings and seminars,”
he said, “and Southern
always stresses safety and
if our people are ever
wrong in a situation, they
are dealt with along
guidelines that demand
safety, dedication to effi
ciency and constant alert
ness.”
Fred Reynolds’ job is not
often easy or pleasant. He

times turns out to be a

Railway to the people 1 talk
to and that’s a big job.”
That statement illustrates
Frederick Reynolds’ dedi
cation to his job. His
manner is business-like but
concerned. He knows the
technicalities of his work
but does not get lost in
them when approaching
persons involved in acci
dents who are already
upset and very often angry.
Fred and his wife
Elizabeth live in Salisbury
with their two sons. Thev
like their present home but
would gladly move if Fred
should be offered a
promotion which required
relocation. “1 started work
ing for Southern temporari
ly until 1 found something
better,” Fred said, “but I
