West Virginia authorities warned merchants last week of Sunday arrests for violations of the Sunday closing law. The statute allows only groceries, drug stores, transportation firms, garages, and service stations to stay open. Cabell County raids last pre-Christmas season led to several false arrest suits due to technical errors. In Parkersburg, Heck's manager Wallace M. Farrell and Pickway Shoes manager Charles L. Waddle were arrested. Park Center discount store stayed closed. Cabell County raiders detained 12 people at Heck's discount store on U. S. 60 near Huntington, including the manager and 11 employees. At Whiz discount store, co-owners Joe and Nellie were arrested.
