PAGE EIGHT PRISONERS ELIGIBLE FOR RELEASE PROVIDED EMPLOYMENT AVAILABLE Employers who need workers may be able to secure them and at the same time “render a real social service,” according to George Randall, Chah-man of the State Parole Board. Many prisoners are eligible for parole who cannot be released be cause they do not have jobs lined up on the outside. Employers have written unso licited letters praising the work of parolees, Randall said. He cited several examples. A Richlands employer said his parolees, employed over a five year period, not only have done good work but also have been ab sent from their jobs fewer times than other workers. “Our parolee is doing excellent work,” wrote a Charlotte execu tive. “He has not missed a day at work and he applies himself.” Parolees are kept under close supervision and must comply with definite regulations, Randall said. “In the vast majority of cases, the parolees work hard and be have themselves because they are anxious to make good,” Randall said. He added that no matter how deserving a prisoner is, the re quirement that he have a job in advance of a parole is essential. “When a man comes out of pris on, it is a psychological shock to him,” Randall said. “He’s a marked man, to begin with. He’s without money and has few friends. He will meet reomfs “It isn’t fair to add another shock—putting him out on the street without work and without opportunity.” Besides supplying a parolee with the money he needs, a job is good therapy for his rehabilitation, Randall said. Another Charlotte employer wrote that “it is good business from an economic and humanitari an standpoint” to hire parolees. Randall said his office wel comes inquiries from employers. Parole Supervisors also may be contacted. The Supervisor in this area is Floyd J. Lupton of Belha ven. ROY GIBSON IN JAPAN IWAKUNI, Japan (FHTNC)— Marine Sgt. Roy Gibson, son of Mrs. Thelma M.

Pat Bayne, who operates the Jockey Ridge Gift Shop on the Nags Head Beach, is determined to have a lawn. Bayne says he knows it is difficult to establish a lawn along the ocean front, but several people along the beach have been successful in establish ing a lawn. Bayne is hauling dried sea grass from the sound shore and using it for a mulch on his lawn. After applying a mat of the sea grass Bayne will then haul in top soil and spread this over the grass. Bayne says the grass helps prevent leaching. The first summer will be the’ most difficult one for the new lawn. “My vegetable plants just don’t grow off right,” according to Tom Beacham, who lives back of the Austin Cemetery in Kitty Hawk. Beacham says he has lots of trou ble with rabbits eating his vegeta bles. He built a fence around his garden which keeps rabbits out. Beacham says rabbits are not the only thing bothering his vegeta bles, and he is interested in finding out the trouble. We have taken a soil test for Beacham to find out if there is a plant food deficiency in the soil. We have also recommended that he treat his soil for nematodes. Nem atodes are tiny eel like insects that attack the roots, which se verely stunts the plants. These insects are more troublesome in light sand soils. Julian Austin of Frisco is proud of his small pine and cedar trees he planted last year. Austin plant ed these trees to provide a wind break for his house. Austin says cedars seem to outgrow pines and he exnects to keep planting trees until he gets a good windbreak. Mr. and Mrs. Austin both enjoy their shrubbery and flowers. He hauls in compost to build up the soil in his yard so that it will grow pretty flowers. A 4-H County Council plan ning session was held in the Court house Saturday morning, February 21. The group planned a series of 4-H activities for the spring and summer. The following events were discussed and plans made: National 4-H Club Week; 4-H Camp; 4-H Health Contest; Talent Contest; Lost Colony Model and Essay Contest; 4-H Dress Revue. The group nominated Nancy Coles Basnight to run for a Dis trict 4-H Office. 4-H District of ficers are elected in June and serve for a year. A new’ pamphlet prepared by State College gives pointers on producing 300 bushels of sweet po tatoes per acre. If interested in getting one of these publications, please come by our office. Irish potato planting time is here, according to experiments conducted last year. For best yields, cut seed so that pieces are blocky an average 1% ounce each. To check, cut and weigh 20 seed pieces, they should weigh at least 2 pounds. (10 pieces per pound.) FARMERS GIVEN NOTICE TO FILE INCOME TAX RETURNS Farmers must file a self-employ ment tax return with Internal Revenue Service each year, Robert S. Green, field representative of the New Bern Social Seeurtiy dis trict office advises. Although a farmer may not owe federal income tax, he must file an income tax return and figure his self-employment tax is his clear profit from one or more bus inesses is S4OO. Farm earnings are reported on Schedule F. and non farm earnings on Schedule C. On Schedule F, he lists his gross sales from crops, produce, and livestock held for sale. He also deducts his business expenses and deprecia tion connected with the farming operation. Wages and personal ex penses are not shown on this form. Under certain conditions, soil bank payments are shown as self-employment income. Rental income, either in cash or crop shares, is not included, unless the landlord’s agreement requires him to take an important part in pro duction. Farm operators were covered by social security in 1955, and par ticipating landlords were covered in 1956. Unless a farm operator’s 1955 tax return is filed before April 15, 1959, it will be impossi ble to credit his social security account with those earnings. Mr. Green urged all farm owners, partners, sharecroppers, and ten ants who owe self-employment tax for 1958 or a prior year to make proper reports at once to Internal Revenue Service, Greensboro, N. C. A farmer covered by the social security law must file self-employ ment reurns regardless of his age or whether he is receiving social security benefits. The amount and nature of his earnings determine whether the tax is due. THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C. 24th DIST.
