lost at IT, approximately 50 percent of the total shipping in Bari harbor at the time.
 Serious Blow
 In official quarters here there is no disposition to deny the blow is n serious one and greatly reduces the British Army supplies for many days.
 In some respects it is the worst defeat inside a protected harbor since the Japs raided Pearl Harbor at the start of the war two years ago.
 Stimson said that fortunately most of the cargo aboard the ships had been dischargd prior to the attack and the loss of supplies is not great"
 About 30 German bombers par ticipated in the raid, Stimson said and much damage resulted.
 Two ammunition ships were hit and exploded, spreading fires and destruction over the harbor.
 Wave of B0mbers
 The wave of German bombers came over the Bari area, which is on the Adriatic Sea side of Italy, just at dawn, flying very low and fast and caught the city's defenses entirely by surprise, as frequently happens in an air attack.
 The attack was made at danger ously low levels. The attack lasted only a few min utes.
 The British Air Forces are in im- mediate charge of the area. One of the main difficulties of the defense of Bari appears they are weak in fighter planes.
 The German conmunique on De- i cember described the attack as carried out with strong bomber formations" sinking of four com mercial vessels and hits being scored on nine other freighters and one medium warship. The Germans claimed the loss of two planes

TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY
BY RUSSELL KAY

I Christ's Kingdom is invincinble,
His Star is shining still.
Within the folded card was
reproduced a vivid Interpretation
of the Bill of Rights as written
! by a l4-year-old girl, Patricia
Mccartney. Her simple but clear
paraphrase must surely come
from Divine inspiration, for she
wrote:
| 'The instant I was born there
stood around me ten guardians of
my future. They came a long
way-through pain and suffering,
persecution, intolerance and the
dark, grim battlefield of tyran-
ny. But they were present be-
cause they had decreed that this
child, the American, had the
rights to go forth into the world
free, self-respecting, God-fear-
ing individual
THE BILL OF RIGHTS is the
name given to these ten guard
ians, and to me they represent
; the life-blood of the American
way of life-the heart of De-
mocracy.
What is the BILL OF
RIGHTS? Why, it is the privacy
of the home in which I live. it
! is the streets in which l walk and
the parks in which 1 play. It is
the school which I choose to at
tend, the people I like or dislike
praise or criticize. It is the
newspaper I read, the men and
the measures I will be able to
vote for or against, the calling
wish to follow, the equality of
opportunity which stretches out
before US all and the manner in
which each of us chooses to wor-
ship our God.
"All these things and many
more form the BILL OF RIGHTS.
They are all parts of the whole.
Destroy one and you destroy all.
With them you have the dignity
which is man. Without them you
have a hollow pretense called
the state.
with them you have the pow
err to dream great dreams and
make dreams come true. Without
them you have only the ashes of
ignorance and slavery"

While it may have proved quite
a burden to the post office, Pm
glad that most folks did not per-
! NIT the war to prevent Yule-
! tide exchange of CHEEKY greet
ing.
Each Christmas l hear from
old and dear friends, some in
distant parts of the world, of
whom have lost track. One of
the real joys of the holiday sea-
son to me is sitting down after
the rush of the day is over and
leisurely looking through the
cards l have received.
This year they were exception
ally fine. Many rang with the
personality of the sender. Some
OF the most appealing were in
the form of modest postcards
bearing a warm and kindly per-
sonal message or verse. All are
appreciated.
A few, as always, stand out,
and I've selected two or three
with messages so clever or in
spring as to deserve wider dis
tribution and I'm sure none who
sent them would object to my
sharing them with you.
From friend in Maine came
this courageous bit of verse:
The drifting SHOWS of winter
May swirl about our feet;
We may be short on sugar,
/ On rubber, gas and heat;
Old Santa may be rationed,
His presents may be few,
But thank the Lord
My Christmas thoughts
Can still go out to you.
Most inspiring, striking, timely
and thought-provoking was the
one received from the office of
Attorney General Tom Watsin.
It's message was so profound, 50
in step with the times, that I
must pass it on. Under the out
stretched wings of an American
Eagle appeared this warm verse,
written by Ruth Payne Bomford,
a member of the secretarial
staff:
When might was right in days of
old
There were no free-born men.
The Liberties we have today
Were far behind their ken.
But now a hard-won bulwark
guards
Our freedom in this land.
Upon the mighty Bill of Rights
Secure and firm we stand.
The Star of Bethlehem shone
down
On one who gave his life
To love and serve his fellow men
And free the earth from strife.
Although the world is torn again
BY men of evil will,
