THE COMMON THINGS
Bv BEATRICE SMITH
True happiness cannot be bought,
This lesson in nic s dook is
tauoht.
One cannot hope to own the
earth,
For all is given free at birth.
Great wealth may buy a host of
things,
But cannot buy an angel's
win ps.
Nor, can it buy us love and
laughter
Or contentment that comes
after.
A hillside covered white with
snow,
A dying fire's after-glow,
The family 'round the fireplace,
A kind-faced mothers quiet
Grace.
These ar the things that through
tne years
Will mend the hearts and dry
the tears.
These are the bonds that ever
hold
Bonds that cannot be bought
or sold.
For one who loves the common
things
Has paid down on a pair of
wings
And happiness that can't be
bought
Is given free with deed and
thought.
The above poem written by
Beatrice Smith, of Roseburg, ap
peared in the September-October
edition of "Reflections."

Hongkong Capture
Strategic Victory
For Japanese
LONDON, Dec. . 27. (AP)
The Christmas day surrender of
British Hongkong was a consid
erable strategic triumph for the
Japanese, Informed sourc.es frank
ly conceded,
Word that the garrison's rem
nants, wi'h only meager water
supplJes left, had finally yielded
was received here almost thank
fully by most Britons. They had
been expecting the capitulation,'
but there still were no details on
Hongkong's last hours under the
Union Jack.
Informed sources said these ad
vantages were gained by the Ja
panese in seizing the century-old
British defense bastion off the
south China coast:
l.iAn important refuelling, sup-
ply, and repair base half way be
tween Japan and the coveted
riches of British Malaya and The
Netherlands East Indies.
2. Elimination of Britain's foot
hold on the China coast which
would have served eventually as
an allied springboard for an at
tempt to oust the Japanese from
the entire Canton river area and
thus open a new supply route to
the Chungking regime.
3. Absolute domination of the
mouth of the Canton river, and
thus security from the rear if the
Japanese decide to start a new
thrust northward against the
Chinese.
4. Valuable additional facilities
for dispatching more Japanese
landing forces to the Philippines.
Manila Is only 600 miles from
Hongkong.
