The "boy who lives at our house" started back to school this week and talk at able has sud- denly turned from fishing, sVl ling and hiking to rthmetic, geography and spell ing; along with who else had to stay in after school for talking and how "so and soH' was caught chewing gum.
 This same change of events has taken place in numerous homes throughout Seldovia that the familiar sound of the school bell echoes over town once again, and perhaps most of view the open ing of school with of relief. In discuss ing school all to often this phrase has up "vell it'll keep lem busy anyhow". It is sad that town the size of Seldovia has other means of keeping her children busy then merely sending lem off to school".
 Seldovia, who feels proud of her growing pes- ition on the Kenai pennsulia should hang her head in shane at her neglect of her children.
 To feel, many of Seldovia apparently do, that "kids always pl ay" is not the fight att itude. True, "kids always play", but whether that play is constructive detrimental de ends great deal upon the citizens of the community. :

planning in Government and busi-
ness are now readying hundreds of
money-saving recipes for your use.
The citizens food committee will
make these available to you by
radio and press.
These recipes will save meat,
wheat. poultry and eggs. This may
not be a pleasant prospect, but we
cannot accomplish our objective
without some sacrifice and some in
convenience.
We therefore call upon you to
pledge that you will abstain from
meat every Tuesday, and from
poultry and eggs every Thursday,
for the duration of this emer-
gency. This same pledge will be Sc
cured from hotels, schools, restaur-
ants, cafeterias, roadside diners,
factory canteens, railroad dining
cars-wherever America eats.
This is a large program, but we,
the people of America, cannot do
less. There can be no other course
for us to follow in this winter of
decision. The people of other lands
must be given strength to work. To
build, to become once more self-sup-
porting and self-respecting men
and women.
The need is desperate. The time
is short. We must act now. May
God give us one and all the stead
fastness, the unselfishness, and the
vision to carry out our appointed

substantial portion Of the distillers
of the country have already pledged
a so per cent cut in the grains they
use. We appreciate the quick re-
sponse and the spirit of this pledge.
Nevertheless, when the distilling in
dustry meets here next Wednesday
we will call upon them to 60 even
further and to declare 60-day
emergency shutdown at the very
earliest possible moment. This ac-
ton is being taken with the full sup
port of the President of the United
States.
Baking Industry Helps.
Yesterday we met with the repre-
sentatives Of the brewing industry,
who proposed a program by which
they would save some grain. We
are greatful to them for this initial
suggestion; but we expect the brew
ers to meet again next week and at
that time to make new proposals
for substantially increased savings.
I am glad to report to you that
the baking industry is taking i'm
portant grain-saving steps, both in
the manufacture and distribution
of bread. The carrying out OF these
measures will result in saving up to
10 per cent of the wheat used by
this industry, or a total OF 3,00O,-
900 bushels of wheat month.
We intend to call meetings of all
grain using industries just as soon
as time permits. I am sure they will
respond to the critical need, and that
they will come forward not merely
with a contribution but with the
maximum contribution they can
possibly make. Meanwhile, the door
is open. I know the business men
of the country will not wait to be
asked in.
These programs for farmers and
industry cannot do the job alone.

Hiring Of Handicapped

District Commissioner John Rus
sell Young, in a broadcast yester-
day over station WINK marking

ported an early response to the
campaign here for hiring disabled

need the cooperation Of all Amer
lea. That is why the third part of
our three-way plan deals with the
contribution that you-each of you
can make.
We call upon every citizen to re-
duce his use of grain and grain
products. We ask you to save a
slice of bread a day-to eat less
meat-and to eat less poultry and
eggs. We ask all public eating places
to adopt a similar program and spe-
cifically to serve bread and butter
only when asked. We make these
requests because in order to supply
you with these products the farmer
must feed huge quantities of grain
to his livestock and poultry.
In addition to this broad conser-
vation drive, we ask your co-opera-
ton in a specific plan Of action.
With the full approval Of the Pres
ident of the United States, we call
upon every citizen to observe inme-
diately two days Of self-denial for
the duration of the emergency. We
ask you to forego meat on Tuesdays.
We ask you to forego poultry and
eggs on Thursday.
In view of our relative plenty here
and the dire need abroad, we do not
feel that we are asking too much of
the American people.
To help check rising prices we
should eat the food which are plen-
tiful supply. There is plenty of food
in America to feed America well,
and enough to spare to help fight
hunger abroad. We have, therefore,
launched Nationwide meal-plan-
ming service to help the housewives
Of America.
Government to Aid Housewife.
We are placing the full resources
of the United States Government
and of American industry at your
elbow. They will be at hand to help
you plan nourishing and well-bal-
anced meals so that you, too, along
with farmers and business, can help
save wheat-save meat-and save
the peace.

defeat hunger. AS Secretary OF
State Marshall has just told us:
Our foreign policy has entered the
American home, and taken a seat
at the family table"
I do not believe the American
people need laws to teach them this
lesson. I know we stand together,
and that you await only common
sense, straightforward plan of ac-
ton from your Citizens Food Com
mittee-a plan that will enable you
to do your share in the great task
now facing our Nation and the
world.
Wheat Is Main Problem.
The heart of our problem is wheat
This is true because wheat is the
cheapest, the most easily shipped.
and one of the most nourishing of
foods.
Wheat is used by three great seq
ments of our economy:
First: BY the farmers-to feed
livestock and poultry.
Second: BY industry-to make
hundreds of food products.
Third: BY 140,O0O,000 Americans.
The Citizens Food Committee is
therefore dividing its program into
three parts.
The first part of this three way
plan deals with the contributions
that farmers can make. We are de-
veloping a program that will reduce
the amount of grain farmers now
use to feed their livestock and poul-
try. This promises to make a great
contribution to our needs. The De-
partment of Agriculture is cooper
ating in this program and is throw
ing the full force Of its Nation wide
organization into this conservation
effort. Every county agent and
triple a committeeman at every
crossroads in the country will share
in this program. Their job is to
assist farmers and ranchers to save
grain.
We will ask all those who raise
and market livestock and poultry to
feed less grain to their stock, to en-
ploy the most efficient methods of
feeding and marketing; and, when

ing materials other than the pre-
cious grains that we must conserve.
There the savings can run into
huge figures. The great farm Or
ganizations of the country have al
ready volunteered their help in this
vast endeavor. We know that the
American farmer who supplies the
food to win the war will give us the
grain to save the peace.
The second part of our three-way
program deals with the contribution
industry can make. This part of
our plan calls for pledges by busi-
ness to reduce its use of grain.

Conservation Already Begun.
I realize that many millions OF
American housewives have already
begun strict conservation measures
I say to those housewives: Keep up
the good work and save even more
when and where you can. On the
other hand, there are also many
Americans who are overeating and
wasting food. Unless these people
cut their consumption in the ways
required, they will be taking more
than a fair share of the supplies
available. They will be personally
contributing to increased imitation
at home and to the desperate scar
city of food overseas.
The battle to save food in the
United States is the battle to save
our own prosperity and to save the
free countries Of Western Europe.
Our self-denial will serve us in
good stead in the years to come.
The voluntary program is the
best way for us to do the job. We
believe that self-control is the best
control. From now on, we shall be
testing at every meal the degree to
which each of us is willing to exer-
else self control for the good of all.
The program which has been pre-
sented to you tonight, if faithfully
carried out, will save the grain we
need.
Hungry people in other countries
look to the United States for help.
I know that they will be strength
ened and encouraged by this evi-
dence of our friendship.
I know that they will be waiting
with hope in their hearts and a
fervant prayer on their lips for the
response of our people to this pro-
gram.
We must not fail them.
The tert OF the address by
Charles Luckn,an, chairman OF
the Presidents Citizens Food
Committee, jolloaDs::
Mr.. President, ladies and gentle
men:
The need is desperate. The time
Is short. We must act.
Five years and 10 months ago the
men and women of America put
aside the ways Of peace and went
to war against those who wrongly
supposed the world could survive
haf-slave. half free. The question
of the hour is scarcely different.
Now we are called on to determine
whether a world can survive half
diminished, half-fed.
Today the peoples Of Europe are
once again enslaved, this time by
the tyranny of hunger. If we turn
our backs on this tyranny today,
we cannot leave heritage Of peace
and prosperity to our children to-
morrow. We cannot appease. We
must fight.
