In response to Alice's wondering if the "Map Scale Indicators" are still
available, I can report that they are indeed. You may order them from:
Dr. Clifford H. Wood
Department of Geography
Memorial University of Newfoundland
St. John's, NF
CANADA A1B 3X9
Pre-payment of $7.50 (U.S.) each is REQUIRED which includes postage, and
he sends them registered mail to ensure that you get them. Any questions
regarding them can be addressed to him at [log in to unmask]
