Lake Cities Push Developemnt As Seaway Hears Completion Editor's note: This is the second of two dispatches tell ing what the St. Lawrence Seaway wil mean to the pre viously "landlocked" Middle West.) By EVERETT R. IRWIN UPI Correspondent Chicago -4UPD- The Great Lakes are humming with ac tivity as never before in the closing weeks of their eight-month-long shipping season. America's new "fourth sea coast" is preparing for the opening of the long-dreamed-of St. Lawrence Seaway next April and the arrival of larg er, deep-sea cargo vessels from foreign ports. Most of the major lake cit ies are rushing construction of new piers or development of other marine terminal fa cilities, a United Press Inter national survey showed. Milwaukee and Cleveland each is constructing two new piers. Duluth is pressing to complete a 10-million-dollar public marine terminal by May 1, 1959. Work is going full blast on first phase de velopment of a new terminal at Toledo, Ohio. The Chicago office of the Army Corps of Engineers has approved, in interim reports, harbor improvement projects totalling 53 million dollars at 11 Great Lakes cities. Fine! Consideration The engineers' recommen dations, which still must un dergo final consideration in Washington, cover the ports of Cleveland, Toledo, Lorain, Sandusky 'and Ashtabula, Ohio; Marquette and Presque Isle, Mich.; Buffalo, N. Y.; Two Harbors, Minn.; Ashland, Wis.; and the Duluth, Minn. Superior, Wis., harbor. Here is the picture around the Lakes: Milwaukee: In the midst of an 11-million-dollar harbor ex pansion program. The No. 1 project is a six-million-dollar, 1,100-feet-long pier with two sheds, a truck dock and rail road facilities. Now under con struction, it is expected to be finished by 1960. Also under construction is a SI, 300,000 pier for passengers and autos. with showplace terminal and restaurant. Duluth The Duluth Port Authority is building its 10-million-dollar marine termin al, complete with berthing space, warehouse sheds and two 65-ton gantry cranes, on a 120-acre plot reclaimed from Lake Superior. Port Di rector Robert T. Smith calls it "the best investment the state of Minnesota has ever made." Cleveland Two huge piers, now under construction at a cost of more than four million dollars, are expected to be ready for the Seaway opening. The area around the piers will be dredged to a 27 foot depth and the harbor en trance, now 23 feet deep, will be deepened to 27 feet by late 1959 or I960. . Port Director William Rogers recently pro posed construction of a 60-million-dollar road to serve the waterfront area and facili tate trans-shipment of cargoes. Toledo Land develop ment has started on a 20-acre terminal site on Presque Isle at the mouth of the Maumee River. A $1,549,547 contract calls for construction of 800 feet of bulkhead, steel piling for wharf space, construction of two connecting dikes and placing of fill. When land de velopment is completed, con struction of general cargo fa cilities, storage sheds, a tank farm and bulk storage area are planned. Chicago City authorities have launched a four-million-dollar improvement program at, antiquated Navy Pier, on the downtown Lake Michigan shore. Mayor Richard J. Daley said the city plans to spend eight million dollars on Navy Pier by 1965. Meanwhile, the privately financed Chicago Regional Port District is seeking 25 mil lion dollars to expand the Lake Calumet harbor on Chi cago's Far South Side. Heart of the expansion program would be construction of a 3,-000-foot-long, 400-foot- wide berthing slip for Seaway-size vessels. Buffalo-Work scheduled to start soon on a project to deepen and move the north entrance to the harbor to ac commodate deep-draft vessels, The Federal government has approved the first two million dollars of the 13 millions needed to complete the pro ject, which also entails con- struction of a new breakwater and lighthouse. New York State has turned over to the Niagara Frontier, Port Auth orityv without cost, the four-Million-dollar former Erie Barge Canal terminal buil ding for general cargo han dling MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Ore., Wednesday, November 12, 1958 3 Volunteers Prepare Christmas Seals Volunteers are preparing the annual Christmas Seal letters for mailing Nov. 15 when the 1958 Christmas Seal sale will open by the Jackson County Tuberculosis and Health association.

The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselor. Laura M. I don't want to share with my sisters. Mrs. K. M. She is selfish and domineering. Laura M. I am a 14-year-old girl and I am having a lot of trouble at home because of my mother and my two younger sisters. My sisters are very nosey about things and they keep going to my drawers to get myv lipstick and nail polish. When I am not home they "borrow" my sweaters and blouses and other things. My mother backs them up in this and calls me selfish for want ing to keep my things to my self. My mother says I am sup posed to share with my sisters, but other girls of my age don't have to share their clothing with their sisters. It is bad enough that we all have to share one rotten room. Mrs. K M. I come of a family of five girls so I know what it is to have to share things. But my sisters and I were very jolly and good-natured and we never minded. We also had lots of fun to gether and were really good friends in spite of our spats. I wanted to me my girls have the same kind of rela tionship, but Laura makes it impossible. She has a terrible temper and beats up the younger girls unmercifully when they touch her things. I am afraid that Laura will never be able to get along in life because she is so selfish and domineering. Our income is not enough to supply three girls with good wardrobes. The Council:' It is rather harsh to refer to Laura's con duct as selfish and domineer ing. It seems obvious that she is trying to defend an area of personal privacy for her self. For some individuals this area may be a small one, reaching only to a diary or some cherished piece of jewel ry. For others, it is larger, extending beyond clothing to a large assortment of prop erty. At Laura's age, her person al property has a great deal' I of significance. It is bound up with her growing apprecia tion of her own unique per sonality and with her hopes and dreams about the woman she will become. It is natural for her to defend all of this violently from the curious eyes and prying hands of two youngef sisters. We don't think Mrs. K.M. ought to judge Laura's con duct in the light of her own girlhood experience. Probably there were many factors of which she is unaware, that made communal living satis factory for her and her sisters. The problem of financing "good wardrobes" for three girls is no small one we'll agree. It would be a good idea ' to start tackling this problem on a more realistic basis before the girls get much older. Laura may find that sewing her own clothing makes it ever more personal than owning it all to herself. Her sisters may find it more satisfactory to imitate her in this constructive way than to seize articles that don't belong to them. Or Laura and her sisters may be willing to ac ecpt small, inexpensive ward robes that are uniquely their own. (Copyright 1958. General Features Corp.)
