Student Poets Keep Eye
On Object At Chowan
By MBS. JIM PABTXN
Poetry reading can be in
triguing. On each level from
seventh grade through high
school, selection of the most
vivid and readable pogms
can bring delight to a room
full of young people. After
this delight is a reality, Eng
lish teachers show, step by
step, the means by which the
poet makes language incan
descent, rooting the eye of
the reader to his image and
taking the ear captive with
his music.
In one of Mrs. Harriet
Small's English classes at
Chowan High School she em
phasized the importance of
writing, as Wordsworth did,
with eyes on the object. Ob
servation is the only path to
originality for most amateur
poets, and our students are
I not attempting a professional
achievement. Even so, the
[young poets who do develop
in our classes must root their

Farmers Subject
To income Tax
| GREENSBORO—North Ca
rolina farmers are subject to
[self-employment tax for 1939
if their farm income is S4OO
or more, J. E. Wall, district
director of the Internal Reve
nue Service, advised today.
The self-employment tax
rate is 6.9 per cent with a
maximum of $936.30, and is
in addition to income tax.
A self-employed farmer is
one who operates his own
business or farm. A farmer
is also considered self-em
ployed if he employs others
to operate or work his farm
even though he does not live
on it himself.
A farmer must file a fed
eral income tax return and
pay the self-employment tax
due if his net earnings from
self-employment are S4OO or
more, even if his gross income
is less than S6OO and he owes
no Income tax.
The self-employment tax
I applies to a maximum of
i $7,800. But this figure is re
duced by any wages from
which social security taxes
were withheld.
A special optional provi
sion in the law enables farm
ers to acquire social security
credits even if they have a
loss after expenses are de
ducted.
“Farm" as used in the fed
eral tax law relating to so
cial security and self-employ
ment taxes, includes stock,
dairy, poultry, fruit, fur
bearing animals and truck
farms and also plantations,
ranches and nurseries.
Wise men believe nothing
that contradicts their intelli
gence.
best first achievements in
dose, exact observation such
as students required of them
selves in these poems. For
this assignment Mrs. Small
displayed three pictures—a
herd of steers, a field of
wheat and a hand.
THE HERD
The steers herded together,
All one, all penned..
The herd of people
The ghetto, the slum,
All one, all penned.
The steers,
abused, forlorn, cold hun

The people,
abused, forlorn, cold, hun

Is this their destiny?
Why they?
Why not me?
Why not you?
The steers,
They live aimlessly;
No promise of tomorrow,
No better day in sight.
The people,
huddled, tired, poor,
No better day in sight.
The steers,
No initiative
They must accept.
The people,
Their Initiative
Their driving force
Their longing for better days
They cannot accept
When better exists.

CRUEL WORLD
Lonely as a heartbroken
maid
Stands the crop of golden
maize.
Planted in spring to grow
and thrive
In a world with cruel de
sires.
This golden maize so sweet
and fair
If knew its fate would de
spair.
Then comes fall so cool and
crisp!
The rustling trees, the cool
wind blow
But the golden maize is now
grown old,
Not sweet, not fair, but
wrinkled and dry
The golden maize falters in
the cool fall air.
Then comes the awful death
machine
That sings out death with a
whirl and a ring.
—By Frank Holley.
THE HAND
The hand
Gently reaches for the lever
at its side.
Quickly
No time for hesitation.
The decision has been made
Now
The hand goes downward
It has been done.
A cry
Heard from the room next
door
Where there was life
There Is life no move.
—By Robin Ward.
