Australia is displacing Greenland as the world's largest island in the new 15 -volume "Island Encyclopaedia" being produced by the American Institute of Islandology. Instead of being at the bottom of the list of continents, Australia will now head a list that 'represents approximately one-seventh of the world's total population. Editorial Director of the Encyclopaedia Raine Bennett said that it was hoped that Australia would prefer island classification in recognition of the increasing importance of the island world, and islanders, in global affairs. Australia's reactions to the new classification have not been shown, but Sydney University Professor of Geography J. Macdonald Holmes thought it inaccurate to describe Australia as an island. "It is true that Australia has water all round it, but its proper definition is continent or island-continent," he said.

DISTIUfRS (CANADA) LIMITED Amtiafttbwrt Oft'orto NO HOUSING AT KETCHIKAN . This is Held Responsible for Large Turnover of Labor at Alaska Town KETCHIKAN, July 27 Blame for the heavy labor turnover in Ketchikan and the present labor shortage in the spruce mills, fishing, contracting and other essential Industries was laid today at the door of Ketchikan's housing shortage. "No man can work in the spruce mills for $1 an hour, and live in hotels and eat in restaur ants without gffing 'in the hole," E. A. Vincent, manager of Ketchikan's Employment Service office, asserted. "If the spruce mills could make some arrangement whereby these migratory workers many of whom would make desirable citizens could find a place to stay, there would be no shortage of labor." Vincent pointed out that during the past month almost 200 people from the south have been placed by the employment of fice In essential industries here; but many of hem have left these Jobs shortly afterwards to. return home because "they found living conditions impossible." "One hundred World War II veterans have also come to Ketchikan during the last three months, seeking positions in the fishing industry, the spruce mills, and the Beaver Falls project," Vincent added. VYet many of them are going to return to their homes in the western part of the United States, because they've learned Alaska, has turned a cold shoulder to them in the way of housing accommodations."
