Sometime when the Chamber of Commerce has nothing better to do we suggest they write to the World Almanac and point out that the figure of 36,000 square miles as the area of kodi' ak island is just about 9 times too much.
 Last year we didn't object a. bout it a great deal, because that was the first yeal Kodiak appear ed in the list of islands, inserted between Jersey (45 sq. miles, and Leeward (727 sq. miles).
 But someday someone, going by the Almanac figure, will ar rive here expecting an island big ger than Ireland (32,375l and will be disappointed at finding us only somewhat bigger than Puer- to Rico (3435).
 It could be a more serious mat ter, too. Somebody in the Dep- artment of Interior might glaum onto that figure in the Almanac and encouraged by the sight of

 Having never been vaccinated ID her life the mother wasn't hot about the idea but she couldn't think of a good excuse. So at the doctors she jolhed junior in getting immune. The next day mother was hay- ing the best time telling about her experience, bow 1t didn't hurt bit, etc.
