Fonner II. S. Staff Officers Sound Waming

WASHINGTON (AP)-Two for- n1crgU.S. chiefs of staff warned against Russian "soft soap" Fri- day and stressed the Soviet buildup in naval as well as air power-- especially submarines.

Gen. Carl Spaatz, retired former air force chief. predicted that if the Russians attack the United States they probably will use a Pearl Harbor - type surprise blow, combining submarine bom- bardment with aerlal attack.

Admiral Robert Carney. who served as chief of nsval operations before his retirement, said Soviet naval power has grown greatly since the Second World War and added:

"Even in the event of atomic war. loss of the seas could be the deciding factor if tough nations fought on after the initial exchange of the crippling blow."

The two spoke at I public hear- ing before a special Senate group studying relative U.S.-Soviet air power.

Spastz said that if I Russlsn attack comes it probably will come after Soviet Premier Bulganln -and Communist party boss Khrushchev have "soft soaped" the world into believing there will be no attack.

He said the Russians have 400 submarines which. if equipped with guided I'll is silos carrying atomic warheads. could stand off the coast and rain destruction on the U.S. He said he does not be- lieve the Russians now have the missiles and warheads for such an attack. but he added that does not mean they won't have them by the time this country's current defense appropriations have been turned into weapons.

spsntz said the U.S. should con- centrate on perfecting an intercon- tinental ballistic missile ahead of the Russians. He said this is "the blackmail weapon" which is suited to Communist tactics.

DEDICATED SINGLE LIFE

A teacher In I city high school. an attractive woman ,roIch1n, 40. was r" '.., school ya ” with her principal. As the conver- sation was ending. the principal asked bluntly, "When are you go- lng to marry and settle down? You surely do not intend to teach all your life!"

Obviously it was I question he had long wanted to ask this wom- In who for several years had been one of the most efficient, respect- ed Ind revered teache . on the staff.

The answer came quickly. as it I! d on many I similar occasion. "Oh. I like teaching. and till some- thing else comes along...:" but behind the smiling reply was the exasperated. almost despairing thought: "Why won't they under- stand?"

Incidents substantially like this are repeated daily wherever sin- gle women are working. They are repeated in hospitals. in offices, in schools. They Ire the expression of I comm misconception of the vocation of the single woman. a manifestation 0f'l well-meaning "pity". And this is a mistake made. not only by the happily married who. with the but intent- ions, feel "sorry" for the unmar- ried girl. but by I ilgious as well. who fail to understand the role in God's plan. of the dedicated. single life in the world.

All of us are created to love and serve God, in this life and to be happy with Him in Heaven. That is the general vocation-the "calling"-of every human buns. The love and service of God how- ever, is not an abstract thing. or the mere form at ”going to church"; it is made real and con- crete in all the activities of I way of life. This is the more particular vocation of the married state. the sin is state. or the religious state. FA E JUDGMENT

Now here is where the miscon- ception stnrts, the false judgment which tends to look on the dedicat- ed. unmarried woman in the world as somehow an unhappy misfit.

Theoretically, apart from partic- ular cases. it is true that the re- ligious state is the "highest" state. because in it the powers of our personality Ire dedicated to the service of God directly. It is true that the married state is "second" because God is served in I mutual dedication and love which has as its purpose the sharing in His Div- ine plan of creation.

It is true that the single life in the world is "last". because God is served in it without the vows of religion. and without the sacra- ment and niutusl dedication to God's work in matrimony. But the important thing is this: in any particular case. the "best" voca- tion is the w of life in which God wants M to serve Him.

Now I vocation is sometimes chosen deliberately. as when I man asks a woman to be his wife, and she accepts, or when I wom- an dedicates herself to God I I nun. In these cases. God's Provid- ence operntes through the indiv- iduIl's positive inclination sd vol- ition. But very often Godts Prov- ince operates through circumstan- ces which give as I vocation. most to an obedience to I way of life which we do not "choose", per- haps even which we do not "want", but which we rather "ac- cept".

NOT ALWAYS CHOICE

I many cases. and for various res . I oman makes I deci sion not to marry, Ind to dedicate herself in the world to some part- icular work which absorbs her en- ergies Ind precludes marriage. In many cases, circumstances-God's Providence-have prevented the natural desire for a husband and family from being fulfilled. and the woman must accept the vocation. the way of loving God, that His will has imposed.

Our school principal, and so many others. fail to understand this last kind of vocation. and their failure to understand, makes dif- fciult for countless single women, the full realization that their sing- le life is their particular way of holiness. given them by God just as truly as HI gives to others the wlay of marriage or the . "r'

a

This lack of sympathetic unden- stsnding-not "pity"-makes It hard to accept with love the trials that are so often a part of the life of I single woman. Until re- cently even writers concerned with "vocation" and the spiritual life. tended to neglect the life of lay persons. married or single, in gieir snIlyIes of the service of od

If we consider the life of the single woman in the world. it is immediately evident how she can. and does, fit into God's plan, and w she can sanctity herself and others in I way that no one else can. Her freedom from d ti- obligations allows her time for Ici- ivities which others could not un- dertske; nursing for instance, or teschtng. or social work.

But like every vocation, this of the single woman has its crosses. I and many of them. There is lone- liness, I sense often of insecur- ity, the knowledge that so few "understand." the difficulty of finding someone In whom to con- fide and from whom to get direct- ion. In the loving willingness to accept these crosses lies the sec- ret of all the positive power of such I life.

THE BAY

The old reliable Hudson's Bay. Company Web was established in' 1670 is still going strong. We have a very vivid recollection of the Governor, Charles Sale, who vis- itcd here in the fall of 1926 and purchased a 51 per cent interest in the McLure and MacKinnon Sil- ver Fox Farms, Ltd. from the late W. Chester S. McLure and the writer. We also made a contract with them to purchase silver fox pelts to be sold at their auctions in Londaon. We were a bit late starting in 1926 but our purchases totalled over S136,000. The follow- ing year we ran something like 8240.000 worth.

The Montreal agency that fall had asked to send some pelts to give them an idea how to buy. and we did so. They were pelts taken off in late October, a bit too early. However. after they were looked over in Montreal they were ship- ped to London. In the meantime we had just concluded our two and a half days purchase of furs in Summerside totalling between 340 and 550 thousand, and board- ing the train that afternoon we re- ceived I cable stating the first batch had been received and that the values were 40 per cent below what we had bought them for. That threw I big scare into us.

Later we received I telegram asking us to go to London. We did so and found that the furs ment- lonod had been "pressed" like beaver and other furs so as to take less bulk in shipping. We could not recognize them It all when they were passed to us, then found out the cause, had them drummed, but the early takeoff and the pressing changed their value very greatly.

We were seated on the selling platform and when we looked out over the large new auction room it was packed with buyers from all over the continent. The sellout was almost complete and the re- sults sni'sfactory to the company. We continued our connection with them until some months prior to the outbreak of World War 2 when they retired from the connection with the fur farms. The Hudson's Bay Company's reputation through the years has been maintained at I high level because of their busi- ness practices which all redound to their credit.

Sales of Hudson's Bay Co., Lon- don. England. reached a record of 62,017,000 during the year ending Jan. 31. it is made known here today. Thi represents I 9 per cent increase over the 57,050,000 pounds volume of the previous year. Of the record total. the fur trade ac- counted for 8,634,000 pounds as against 7.716.000 pounds the prev- ious year.

Consignment sales of three auct- ion houses operated by the com- pany in New York, London and Montreal totaled 19,285,000 pounds, slightly off from l9.750.000 pounds of the previous year. The quantity of ranched '-ck sold in North
