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

The Family Council
Editor'! note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers
Each article is a summary ol an actual report. 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.
