HOPE
By Corporal J. N. Henderson, U.
S. Marine Corps, Reluming
Veleran from Guadalcanal.
I sat alone in a darkness.
A darkness which smothered rnv
soul;
Surrounded by those demons of
anguish.
Which fought for my spirit’s con
trol.
They taunted me there in the
darkness.
Offering their draughts of despair;
To rob me. of reasoning and will
power.
And to drag me down to their
lair.
No ray of light, entered that dark
ness,
No sound save the demons’ mad
song;
And I stood on that last plane of
the living—
When H-O-P-E came stealing.
along.
It banished my fears of the dark
ness, • '
And scattered those demons of
night;
And restored to my faltering
spirit
A new’ faith, in reasoning and
right.
So, 1 turned from my moments
of darkness, .
And my spirit took wing to a '
song
That soon flooded my soul with
sunshine
As H-O-P-E came steadily along. .

FORUM TO HOLD
MEETING
The Nome Community Forum
will hold its second public meet
ing Monday, February 14, at 7:30
p. m in the Nome public school
building. This Monday evening’s
topic for discussion will be, "What
Part Should the Axis Powers Be
Permitted to Play in the Post War
World."
The Nome Community Forum,
which is not unlike the popular
radio program, "Town Hall”, had
its birth a few weeks ago. It was
conceived in the minds of the
civic-minded citizens of this com
munity and has enjoyed such pop
ularity that seating space is fast
becoming a problem. 4
The public is invited to attend
and also to participate. The
Forum ut'ges you to attend this
meeting to get acquainted with its
activities and it especially wants
to hear your points of view.
