I THE UNSEEN GUEST
Jirnp II IIIII——I . 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?

“SUGAR CHILE”
”>ugar Chile” Robinson
Teachers at the school in De
troit which Frank “Sugar Chile”!
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’".

ied by Miss Geneva Burney, Pro
gram Director for Younger Girls,
will leave Sunday, June 16th to
attend the Teen-age Sectional I
Conference which is to be held on
June 16—23 at Camp Brewster.
The conference is one of 33 be

bers of the 434 local YWCAs.
Over 3.000 girls in senior high
school and 700 adult leaders from
all sections of the country will
attend the conferences.

leaders in the local Association's
teen-age clubs. They will attend
the conference for an 80 day per
iod, meeting with girls of other
areas and formulating the prog

will offer many opportunities for
fun and recreation, the conference
will also operate club clinics, work
shops, councils and forums where

Miss Burney, in making plans

cf the program for teen-age girls
n the YWCA's throughout the
country. That of developing
young people to be useful citizens
in a democracy and to help them
make their maximum contribu

“To do this, adults must aid
hem in guidance and friendly cou

ng their needs of today so that
hey will develop the personal
competence necessary in a society
of self-directing individuals.” The
cigl^t-day conference is to be a
laboratory for this kind of youth
adult experience, where girls can
iiscuss their own problems and
cheir relation to the problems
which beset the world today.
Discussions will be set up on
che topics of health family and
personal relations, vocational

and boy and girl relationships.
Each delegate will return to her
