New Street
Names May
Replace Old
A 100-year-old puzzle may dis-
appear if a group of crusading
townspeople have their way.
Ann Arbor's City Council last
week asked local citizens to aid
them in finding new names for
two city streets which have caused
much confusion to residents and
local postmen.
* * *
FOURTH AND FIFTH Avenues
are difficult to tell apart from
their cross-town counterparts --
Fourth and Fifth Streets.
All these efforts for changing
the names are not without op-
position from an equally-dis-
turbed portion of the city-those
people living or owning com-
mercial establishments on the
affected streets.
Fifty-two of the Fourth and
Fifth Ave. residents, by petition,
indicated their disapproval of the
proposed move.
EFFORTS TO FIND new iden-
tification for the down-town thor-
oughares has continued neverthe-
less. Mailman Walter E. Schlecht's
complaints originally brought
about the movement to change
the names.
Suggestions already turned in to
the Council includes Temple for
Fourth Ave. The Masonic Temple
is located on that street.
'U' Professors Help Design
New Great Lakes Freighter
4
By JO~iN NEUFELD
Whenthe steamer Wilfred Sykes
is launched next Tuesday, it will
be the "biggest and fastest boat"
bringing ore across the Great
Lakes, according to Prof. Charles
W. Spooner, Jr.
Prof. Spooner and Prof. Louis A.
Baier, both of them marine engi-
neers (Prof. Baier is chairman of
the naval architecture and marine
engineering department) were
consulted by the company which
built the freighter.
THEY HELPED determine the
hull form, amount of power, type
of power plant used, the detailed
design of the propellor, and sim-
ilar items. They based their plans
on experiments performed prev-
iously in the University's water
tank, which was recently extended
to a length of 400 ft.
"A larger boat," said Prof.
Spooner, "makes freight cheaper
to haul." But there are limita-
tions.
The length is limited by the
maneuvering that must be done
in rivers, especially around the
Soo; draft is determined by the
water depth; the beam is deter-
mined by loading and unloading
facilities, and economics dictates
the speed, he explained.
* * *
in general, so that practicality, not
prestige is important in freight
carriers.
According to Prof. Spooner,
the Wilfred Sykes is the first
bulk carrier to be launched since
1943. Of other types, the so-
called super-boats are the larg-
est, with a 614 ft. keel length,
and a 14,500 ton capacity.
Compared to this, the Wilfred
Sykes is 678 ft. long and will
carry 21,150 long tons of ore down
the lakes. It has a 70 ft. beam
and a 16 knot service speed.
(A long ton, according to Web-
ster, is the same as a gross ton,
a shipper's ton or a shipping ton,
and is equivalent to 2,240 lb. avoir-
dupois. A knot is one nautical mile
per hour.)
Both Prof. Baier and Prof.
Spooner will attend the launching
at Lorain, Ohio. Prof. Spooner
calls the launching of a freighter
similar to that of passenger ships.
Champagne will be used, but
Prof. Spooner does not know what
brand.

ama, Guatemala and Brazil offer

HCL Trend Up in Detroit
Detroit families found the gen-
eral trend of prices to run a little
higher last month than in 'April,
U.S. Labor Department Consumer
Index statistics reveal.
Fluctuations in prices, the tallies
indicate, followed a definite pat-
tern of higher prices for necessi-
ties and lower prices for luxuries.
Food bills for the average De-
troit family went up 1.5 per cent
during the month ending in mid-
May largely because of unexpected
jumps in prices of fresh fruits,
vegetables, and eggs.
The upswing in prices seems to
be confined to food, however, as
the reports show a general down-
ward movement in costs of both
men's and women's apparel, house
furnishings, bituminous coal, and
miscellaneous goods and services
such as soap and laundering.
