Cost Of Living
Still Going Up—
Especially Fopd
WASHINGTON, Iff'—Tpe cost of
living edged upward another
three-tenths of one percent be
tween mid-April and mid-May,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics re
ported Tuesday.
This was the third straight
month the BL£ consumed price
index registered a rise.
The bureau said all major living
cost items showed slight increases,
except for transportation, which
showed no change.
The new index shofved retail
prices for city families with mod
erate incomes were 114 percent
of the 1947-1949 average as of
May 15.
This was nine-tenths of one per
cent higher than in May a year
ago and 12 percent above June,
1950, when the Korean War broke
out.
The largest increases between
April 15 and May 15 <vere regis

of one percent, and medical care,
which went up four-tenths of one
percent.

Prods Hubby wiih Butcher Knife
To Wake Him Up To Go to Work
TOLEDO, (J’t—She just prodded
her husband a bit “to get him out
of bed so he would get to work
on time,” Mrs. Lela Sorrell, 53,
told Common Pleas Judge John
Q. Carey. Five years probation
for cutting with intent to wound,
the judge ruled, and suggested any
future prodding be done with
something less deadly than a
butcher knife.
For the past 20 years more peo
ple have migrated to Sweden than
have left that country.
