LIVING COSTS UP IN MARCH FOR FIRST TIME IN SIX MONTHS. OTTAWA REPORTS

for keeping clean and healthy- along with the government's jump in postage rates—boosted living costs in March for the first time in six months.

Food prices continued to drop. But the cost of medical. dental and hospital care rose. along with such. toilet items as soap and shaving cream. pushing the con- sumer price index up by one-tenth of a point to il5.6.‘the bureau of statistics reported Wednesday.

It was the first rise in the cost of living yardstick since the half- point climb last September. Since then it has been generally slipping. dropping by a fifth of ii point in February. The index. based on 1949 prices equalling 100, reached a peak of 118.2 in December. 1951.

The March survey showed that the cost of i'ood—which takes up a big portion of the average house- hold budget—is continuing to de- cline. The food sub-group dropped by three-tenths of a point to ll0.4, following s point drop in February.

and potatoes. These countered higher tags for coffee. tea. oranges cured ’pork and shortening.

Rents edged up slightly. but this increase was balanced by a de- cline in home-ownership costs and the shelter column remained un- changed at the peak of 125.6.

A few scattered increases added a tenth of a point to the clothing column which rose to 109.0. still well below the high of 115.2 in November. 1951.

Higher costs for cleaning sup- plies. countering lower prices for electric irons and lawnmowers. pinned another half point on the household operations column which rose to a record 118.1.

The miscellaneous column. “other commodities and services,” rose by three-fifths of a point to a high of 117.2, influenced by higher service charges. including theogovernmenfs one-cent boost on city and" out-of-town mail.

Seaway Expected To Siir Activity In lalle Ports

By SAM DAINSON

TOLEDO. Ohio. (APJ—-The St. Lawrence seaway——whell and II it becomes reality-—ls counted upon to stir a wave of activity along lake waterfront; on the U. S. side.

It would also be a swizzlestick

stirring up many parts of the er-0-K

nomy elseivhere.

Already under way along the lakes are plans for port authorit- ies with taxing powers. for exten- sive building of docks. for harbor dredging. and for re-routing of in- coming and outgoing goods and farm products. Looming is a scramble among the states and cities to lure new industries.

Toledo says. that granted the port authority law it's asking of the Ohio state legislature. it plans to become the foremost western

strength in April. but those for farm products cased.

terminal. It contends it is the first lake port free of ice in the spring and the last to be closed in the fall. Also it argues that the long waterhaul from Toledo to Chicago may not be as economical as the short overland distance between the two cities. Toledo has ordered a survey of harbor possibilities.

DETROIT DEDATES DOCKS

Detroit is debating deepening its channel and building dock facili- ies for the larger ireighters the scaway would admit. I

Cleveland reports its export bus- iness last year came to 5500.000.-I 000. Its business men talk conll-I dently of doubling that——some even say trebllhg il.—wlthin a. few years after the seaway is com- pletccl. They talk of the seaway "pulling” Pittsburgh closer to Cleveland and away from New York. Philadelphia, Baltimore or Hampton Roads.

Milwaukee is credited by mzlny of its lake port rivals with having been ioresightcd in developing its waterfront for the sea\«a_v's ex- pected coming.
