I I .■■■■ nrth- .11- ■mraumtt By Buth Taylor Is there an unseen guest at your table ? Have you watched a child who has been systematically starved? Have you everwatched such a child, body wasted away until the head seems too big to hold up right—watched him gaze at food with unbelieving eyes ? Seen him reach for a 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. It has a stunted child's body, but there is a lack of sadness and bitter wisdom on the face that no child should wear. A wistful look as he watches you eat. A shying off from what is bounty beyond belief—to him who has never known what it is not to hun ger. He does not ask much—not a share of your food—just the lit tle crumbs from your table. The unnecessary waste from the tab le in the average American home would feed many such as he. There is an UNSEEN guest at your table. Hunger is a horrible thing. It may kill the bodies of the children overseas. It has killed hundreds of thousands already. But more deadly still is its effect upon the minds of those who survive. Hun ger may drawf the body, but it warps the mind, twisting it scari fying thought of life. There is an unseen guest at YOUR table. Your children, whom you cher ish and for who n yon deck your table with the beet you can af ford that they may grow strong and healthy to vigorous manhood and womanhood—into what kind of a 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 fanatic 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? Northside Drama — By Al Sparks — A POUND OF VOTES 24th and Lake Streets: Politician, sighing: “The vot ing isn’t very heavy' today". Non-Voter: “You don’t say— how much does it weigh?"

Robinson, 7-year-old Negro pian- j ist attended were the first to dis cover that he was a musical pro digy. Once last December a mu sic teacher was instructing Fran kie’s class in carol singing. She had played over a new carol just once when she was called to the telephone. When she returned to her class, she found “Sugar Chile” Robinson playing the piece on the piano and the rest of the class humming the tune with him. Perhaps the biggest thrill Frank ; ‘Sugar Chile" Robinson, 7 year old piano prodigy ever had was when he played for President Tru man at the White House Corres pondents" dinner in Washington last March. ‘Sugar Chile”, top ping a program that featured such names as jane Froman, Paul Draper, Larry Adler and Bert Wheeler, turned aside during his raucous rendition of Caldonia to say to the President with a just- i one-pianist-to-another air; “How am I doin', Mr. President?’’ Frank “Sugar Chile” Robinson 7-year-old boogie woogie prodigy7 plays just as well standing up as he does sitting down. In fact, he likes it beter, because, says he, “it makes easier for me to get to the far-away notes’".

Y.— THE RUBBERNECK buses are rolling again, and the local yokels are getting their annual gander at the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State aerie and Grant’s Tomb, while escorting “visiting firemen” —their colloquialism for west-of the-Hudson relatives, friends, buyers. During the war the lumbering glasstops were laid up, and the barkers took sightseers through Chinatown and the Bowery, Wall St. and Riverside Dr., by subway, “El” and hoof. Now, Mott and Pell Sts. refurbish their prop opium dens to give visitors chills, but these are tepid beside Times Sq, crush-hour scenes. Characters infest The Stem again.
