The East Winston Shopping
Plaza, a project to be
community owned and
operated, received a much
needed boost last Saturday,
when it was announced that
Revco Drug Store Chain
has signed a written commitment
to open a store in
the center.
In July, the city's application
for a $340,000 Urban
Development Action Grant
(UDAG) was turned down
by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development
(JUD) because of a
lack of a" firm commitment

into the front of the shop, hitting Gladden with full im?
pact.
More than a month later, Gladden lies in a bed on the
fifth floor of Baptist Hospital, with both his legs amputated
above the knee. He speaks of God and life ir
philosophical tones, an many men of 73 years sometimes
do and he believes that he is the luckiest man, to be alive.
"It's a miracle I'm alive, 1 know that, but 1 also know
that the accident was God's doing, so I'm not going to lie
here and cry about it," Gladden said.
He is a staunch Seventh Day Adventisf and a realist to
the point that he speaks of his accident in the same tone
with which he speaks of his family, although he never
spoke of the actual operation on his fegs. Gladden said
that he would continue to run his barber shop when he is
released from the hospital.
"I've never had to work for anybody but myself,"
