Page 6-A Poet’s Comer Little Girl And The Golden-Rod The pale days crane, cold and stormy- The man in the moon sails by on gossamer wings We all like the fall, with its fine fresh air and cool brisk nights- There’s soft music in the air- When die fall days come- There soft music in the air- Here by the side of the road alone with nobody near for company bloomed a lonely Golden-Rod. By the side of a dusty country road all by its self alone With nobody for company but a dusty stone. Bloomed a Golden Rod. How in the world did 1 happen to bloom- by myself all alone, down the road a little Girl skipped lightly with her skirt blowing lively in the breeze. She stopped and picked the Golden Rod up and kissed him and said I will carry you home with :*• me. I see, said the Golden-Rod- this is the place I was meant to bloom -by the edge of the road by myself alone. I love you Golden-Rod she said - as she kissed him and took him home with her - In a colored vase was his home. From the window the trees in the apple orchards turned red and yellow and bent their heads to the ground. Where the Golden-rod lived on the window sill- the rose garden greeted him everyday - with the breath of life - the world was the color of a picture- the little girl kissed the Golden- Rod by the light of the moon - you will never have to be alone again - she said. Outside the window-sill the Golden Rod sprinkled its seeds, only to live again and again, - year after year- To be filled with kindness and love by the little girl - The man in the pale moon sails by on gossamer wings - and the apple trees bend their heads down - the sky - lark rises sharply upward in its swift flight -a lazy fox skulks behind a country fence - having lo6t his supper - the golden rod and little girl was happy as the vast vault of the sty seems to spread over the earth-and the butterfly skipped from rose to rose- all was at peace- From her window many years later the sun softly glisten on the silver in her hair- A shining tear appears as she looks down at the golden rod from her childhood - the vividness of colors - the pastel shades of yellow and gold was still there.

Unemployment Funds Recovered RALEIGH During the first six months of 1981, the anti - fraud unit of the North Carolina Employment Security Commission recovered 69.8 per cent, or $99,548.00, of last year’s total. Ron P. Hawks, Chief Claims Investigator, ex pects his 14-person unit to recover $199,774.40 by the aid of 1981. This is 40.0 per cent or $57,078.40 more than the $142,696.00 recovered in 1980. Hawks said the prosecution and conviction of persons involved in fraud has also improved this year. For the entire year 1980, investigations foupd 480 fraud cases of which 295 were prosecuted and 287 convicted (97.0 per cent). From January through June 1981, there were 178 prosecutions and 164 con victions (92.0 per cent) of the total 3% fraud cases. He said additional ef fectiveness can be expected as a result of several new changes in investigative procedures which be gan earlier this month. The changes will cut out un necessary paperwork for the claims investigators who currently average 42 completed investigations per month. Hawks said he expected his unit to be able to accomplish a total of 150 to 200 investigations a month per investigator. “Technological advances have enabled us to now pinpoint potential fraud much earlier than ever before,” Hawks said. “Employer particpation and cooperation have helped establish exact employment and termination dates for workers.
