The UNSEEN GUEST
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Is there an unseen guest al
your table?
Have you ever seen a child who
has been systematically starved
Have you ever watched such a
child, body wasted away until the
| head seems too big to hold up
right-watched him gaze at food
with unbelievmg eyes? Seen him
reach for crust of bread and
hurriedly devour it as though it
might be snatched from him at
any moment?
There is an unseen guest at
your table.
1t has a stunted child's body,
but there is a look OF sadness and
bitter wisdom on the face that no
child should wear A wistful look
as he watches you eat. A shyine
off from what is bounty beyond
belief-to him who has never
known what it is not to hunger.
He does not ask much-not a
share of your food-just the
crumbs from your table. The UNI
necessary waste from the table
in the average American home
would feed many such as he.
There is an UNSEEN guest at
your table.
Hunger is a horrible thing. 1t
may kill the bodies of the chill
dren overseas. 1t has killed hun
dreds of thousands already. But
more deadly still is its effect upon
, the minds of those who survive.
Hunger may dwarf the body, but
it warps the mind, twisting it,
scarifying thought for life.
There is an unseen guest at
YOUR table.
Your children, whom you cher
ish and for whom you deck your
table with the best you can af-
ford, that they may grow strong
and healthy to vigorous manhood
and womanhood-into what kind
of world will they go?
Will they. in their time, have to
face the warped victims of hun
ger, grown to a twisted maturity,
ready to seek out and follow with
fanatical zeal the promises of food
and loot held out to them by the
demagogues or dictators of the
moment?
Or, will they go into a world of
friends with whom they have
shared their bread in childhood?
Whom they, through you, have
helped give strength to stand
alone.
Whether you know it or not,
there is an unseen guest at your
table. Will you bid him sit with
you and eat?

A meeting of the Nome Ex- Servicemen was held Monday eve ming at the City Hall. Temporary officers elected were: Jack Bull lock, chairman; Paul Vaudeville, treasurer, and Ron Brousseau, sec retary.
 It is the hope of the Ex-Serv- men to acquire a suitable site and building for a club house. A build ing committee, composed of Jack Bullock, Chuck O'Leary and Paul Dryden, was appointed.
 Due to the large number of ex- servicemen expected back in the near future, the club is reluctant to proceed too rapidly with plans, preferring to await the arrival of prospective members before talk ing definite action.

Assets Listed. 7s
Financial assets of farmers in

a slight increase during the year.
The large increase in holdings of
cash and government bonds during
the war years, the bureau said,
probably reflected some deteriora-
ton Of the farm plant. Failure to
maintain farms and equipment at

million dollars to cash holdings of

RECONVERSION:
SteeInan Reports

The wartime economy of the U. S.
has reached fork in the road, Re-
conversion Director John r. Steel
man declared in his quarterly re-
port to the President and congress.
In one direction lies unprecedented,
stable prosperity; in the other,
boom and bust.
Steelman pleaded with business,
labor, agriculture and consumers to
avert an infationary spiral. He
asked business to hold down prices;
labor to refrain from making un-
sound wage demands; agriculture
to continue to produce at a record
clip, and consumers to desist from
spending freely.
Despite record employment Of So
million and an annual production
rate of 172 billion dollars, many key
commodities remain scarce, Steel
man said. Accumulation of inven-
tories at a rate of 61s billion dol
lars yearly indicates there is some
speculative boarding, he added. The
meat shortage promises to worsen
this winter and supplies of fats,
oils and sugars will remain tight for
many months. Up % per cent from
1943, clothing prices are expected
to 60 up another 10 per cent by the
end Of 1916.
