Buniin

Dead at 83, Ivan Alexeyevich Bunin leaves
legend which probably will endure as long
as his books. He perSonified in literary sense
the tJagedy of conservative Russians in a time
of revolution. The Nobel Prize came to him in
1888 when it was too late to be of use except as
a reward for work completed much earlier.
What happened to his country under the blight
of communism happened to him too in exile.
Marxist materialism robbed him of the oppor-
tunities which should have developed with
maturity.
The best of Bunin's writing was done in his
youth. Born to refined and cultivated family,
he grew up in an atmosphere of traditional
ideas and ideals. Don Quixote" and Robin
son Crusoe"-in translation, of course-gave
him narrative patterns which we're helpful to
his efforts in prose- Pushkin and Lermontov
inspired him in poetry. At 81 he was an
acknowledged master of classic Russian.
But it doubtless will be for 'The village"
that Bunin will be remembered longest. It
appeared in 1910 and was sensational success
both in his native land and abroad Realistic
in theme and richly artistic in style, it reflected
the struggle between the imperfect past of
Russia and the equally imperfect future. Amer
ican readers discovered it as late as 1928, when
the events it obliquely forecast already had
been enameled into history.
Bunin the creative aristocrat did not sur
vive the debacle, but the man lived on as a
pathetic example of wandering diSposSessed
Russian society. In Paris and on the Riviera
he wrote his recollections of Chekov, TolStoy,
Rachpaninoff and other eminent persons he
had known 'in the old days" These impressions
proved that he still could be a hrst-rate story
teller.

baronet of Mochrum, Scotland, is reputed to
harbor white-robed lady ghost. The way re-
cent press dispatches describe the baronial hall,
with its AZ derelict rooms, makes it seem a
fitting place for the clanking of chains, If lady

But we suspect Sir Adrian is due for dis
appointment if he looks forward to viewing a
wrath. The ghost business has been outmoded
by such modern horrors as the hydrogen bomb

Sslss-Empioyed Must File Tax Return

James G. Browne, manager of the Social Security Administra- ton field office in Juneau, this week reminded self-employed persons that they may be required to file self-employment tax re- turn. This return may be neces- sary, he said, even though they have not had enough income in 1852 to file 8 personal income tax return.
 Any self-employed person, who is not a member of one of the ex- cepted professions, is required to file self-employment tax return, if he has had net income from his trade or business of $400 or more in 1852. Browne stated that the Self-employment tax return must be filed with the Bureau of Inter- nal Revenue by March Is, 1853.
 Brown announced that self-em- ployment income reported is cred tied to the social security record of the person reporting. The total of self-employment and wages in the individuals record determines the amount of benefits payable to him when he is eligible for pay ments.
 Any person who does not have a social security account number card can obtain an application from his post office or by writing to the Social Security Field Office in Juneau, he added.
