Not A Chain Store Parent Organisation Behind Belk Matthews Company, Holds Uni que Position in Storekeeping Field. Well ever 330 Belk Stores co operate to the advantage of each other without being, in fact, a chain store system. This is one of the most unusual stones about this unique organization started 67 years ago by William Henry Belk. Actually by its very nature the parent organization behind Belk Matthews Co. is far from being a •‘chain.” Belk-Matthews Co., like all the hundreds of other Belk stores, is truly individual—indi vidually owned and operated. All the details of management, mer chandise selection, inventory are one hundred percent controlled by Henry Michael, Manager of Belk Matthews Co. Founder William Henry Belk believed that placing an individ ual on his own is the best way of establishing a business enterprise. It gives the individual store man ager the opportunity to use his initiative and carry out his own ideas—something he would rarely have an opportunity to do in many large organizations..A. man’s pro gressiveness and ability is foster ed and encouraged. Today, 67 years later, the same fundament als of good citizenship and sup port of charity, public and pri vate morality and the use of high merchandising principles are the underlying principles of the en tire Belk family of family stores.

Burial was made in the church cemetery. Mrs. Russ died Sunday, April 24th at 1:45 at the home of her son, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Russ on Cherryville, Route 2. She had been making her home there for several months during which time she had been ill. 'She is survived by her aged husband, Cyrus R. Russ, and seven daughters and three sons: Mrs. J. F.

National Guardsmen Alerted “OPERATION MINUTEMAN”, test the ability of Air and my National Guardsmen to get into operation in eyent of an emergency was triggered off Wednesday evening at 6:30 P. M. by officials in the Pentagon. By 6:50 news of the alert was being channeled to personnel of all units in North Carolina via radio, V, and telephone. Within the hour a number of units were “Alert and Ready”. Fighter planes (F-86 Sabre Jets) of the 156th Fighter Squadron, Morris Field, Charlotte, were airborne and ready to intercept mock enemy aircraft in forty minutes after original alert sounded. Simentari eously troops were deployed for defense of strategic areas and facilities. This was the first surprise peace time national alert and high Na tional Guard officials termed it a resounding success. It was a sur prise alert in that neither the day or hour was known in advance, except to a small group of gener al officers in the Pentagon at Washington. The fact that a test alert would be sounded was made public some weeks ago in order that the public would not he alarmed when the armed units went into operation. Captain John K- Tyson of Cher ryville reports that he heard the alert first over WBTV at 7 PM and within minutes following from alert headquarters in Char lotte by phone. Captain Tyson, a squadron commander in tne 123rd Air Base Group based at Morris Field, joined his squadron at 8 P. M. He reports that the squad ron was operational ready by 7:30 P. M. under the capable leader ship of First Sergeant George Auten of Belmont, Technical Ser geant David Scott of Charlotte, and Staff. Sergeant L. R. Tomlin of Kannapolis. Activities of the Charlotte based units were typical of those carried out elsewhere by 400,000 or more Guardsmen of various type units and localities through out the United States. A tremendous amount of credit for the success of “OPERATION MINUTEMAN” is due radio and TV stations, newspapers, private and municipal organizations who joined in diseminating the alert news to National Guardsmen.

Rulisill ar.d Mr. Lewis Doggett, chairmen, for the Cancer Drive in Cherryville township are making their last appeal for funds to reach Cherry ville’s quota. The goal set for Gaston County is $11,000 and Cherryville’s part is $800.00. This year the importance of re search is being stressed with the hope that cancer researchers will soon have success in their work. In addition to asking for funds, the campaign tries to reach every citizen with a message about can cer. the need to have periodic ex aminations to find early symp toms. If these are found early and treated then, before they have spread, there is much hope for cure. But, as many as are cured, about 75,000 a year, are not being found early enough. Of the 40'/ that remains in the county, about one-half, or $25.00 is used for aid to indigent pa tients. Since this amount is so small, hospital bills or expensive treatments can not be provided, but dressings, drugs, home-nurs ing supplies and transportation I to a clinic may be provided.
