Boy Scouts
Whoop It Up
At Jamboree
VALLEY FORGE, Pennsylvania,
UPi—American Indians—a 11 Boy
Scouts—danced into the spotlight
Wednesday at the fourth national
Jamboree.
The Indian youths, represent
ing tribes from across the nation,
joined competition for spot talent
programs thruout the remainder
of the Boy Scout celebration,
which opened officially yesterday.
Heading the slate of Indian del
egations was a group of Alaskan
teenage braves bearing the jaw
breaking tribal naihe of Thiinget
chilkat. They brought with them
from the far north parts of their
totem more than 500 years old.
' At the same time, Iroquois and
Tuscarera from New York State
presented tribal dances to the
throb of ancient drums, as did
groups of other Alaskan and Ore
gon Indians.
The quest for talent was not
limited to American Indians. A
battery of some 30 teenagers from
the southwest cattle states twirled
lariats in an effort to be chosen
the top rope winners.
Backing the activities was the
twanging of ukeleles and swish
of grass skirts as Scouts from the
Hawaiian Islands presented na
tive war dances.

Here’s a news note from the re
cent Hobby Show in Chicago—
Americans spent more than $300
million on hobby items in 1956.
The industry predicts a rise in
1957. Americans, definitely, are
becoming more and more hobby
conscious.
Remember the young lady we
mentioned who sits with birds for
50 cents an hour? A lady from
Massachusetts writes to top that
one. A youngster friend of hers,
she says, sits for a couple who
keep snakes, beavers, hamsters
and a porcupine. Snake-sitting de
mands a higher premium, how
ever—80 cents per hour.
Here’s an encouraging sign of
continuing peace. Monogram Mod
els, Chicago, will soon introduce
a line of model military vehicles
—a jeep, half-track and truck.
: The company says these items are
; more popular in peace-time than
in war-time. The reason: People
I don’t want to be reminded any
! more than is necessary of fight
ing equipment during times of
conflict.
A fellow in Utah has added a
profitable sideline to his photog
raphy hobby. He photographs the
beautiful scenery in that colorful,
; mountain state, blows the photos
up to gigantic size and sells the
blow-ups to Easterners as wall
murals.
I A note of interest on the Al
| batross, the airplane which is the
1 backbone of the Air Rescue Serv
i ice, and which Monogram Models,
! Chicago, will soon introduce in
] miniature. An Albatross recently
taxied 96 miles on water after
picking up a number of survivors.
1 There were too many in the plane
to permit take-off, but the daunt
less aircraft came through in spite
j of the handicap and brought its
passengers to safety.

Aga Khan III
Dead at 79 Years
Of Weak Heart
GENEVA, Switzerland Iff)—The
Aga Khan III, a wealthy poten
tate to whom 20 million Ismaili
Moslems paid spiritual homage,
died yesterday. He was 79.
A glamorous figure on the in
ternational scene for many years,
the Aga Khan succumbed to a
sudden weakening of the heart
during the night. He had been
suffering from heart trouble
since 1952.
. He was Known as a sportsman
with an ardent interest in race
horses, a devotee of luxurious liv
ing, and a map with an eye for a
beautiful woman. But he was also
interested in affairs of state—and
once served as President of the
League of Nations.
Prince Aly Khan, 46, has gen
erally been regarded as the heir
apparent, but some doubt recent
ly was expressed as to whether
he or Prince Sadruddin, 24, the
Aga’s Harvard-educated younger
son would be named. The Aga
was said to have been disturbed
about Aly’s playboy activities.
Aly is the former husband of
Hollywood actress Rita Hayworth.
Present at the bedside when
death came was the Aga Khan’s
wife—his fourth—and both sons.
Sadruddin is planning to marry
Nina Dyer, a London model. The
wedding had been set for Monday.
The Aga Khan was flown to
j Geneva frorti Paris June 18 to es
■ cape a heat spell which contrib
j uted to his deteriorating condi
i tion. His weight had dropped to
! 132 pounds—half of that in the
days when he was weighed by his
subjects against gold, platinum
or diamonds on his various anni
versaries. The money value went
to the Aga Khan’s many charities.

Eskimos at North
Pole Hear of -100°
At South Pole
FAIRBANKS W)—You may think
it’s cold at the North Pole, and
you’re undoubtedly right, but
don’t head too far south to'get
warmed up.
That was the advice given by
three Eskimo residents of Kotze
bue, 450 miles northwest of here,
when they returned home this
week after working on a con
struction crew on an ice island
near the North Pole which is be
ing used for observations during
the International Geophysical
Year.
The men reported listening in
on a radio hookup between their
base and a station at the South
Pble. Temperature reported that
day from the ice island was 37
degrees below zero. A shaky voice
from the deep, deep south came
back on to report a current read
ing there of 100.4 degrees below.
His own reaction to the North
Pole weather was reported by one
of the Eskimos in the words:
“Better than Kotzebue—not so
much wind.”
Scouts Get Whirl
Of Sightseeing
Enroute Jamboree
By RODNEY BOUCHER
Special Nome Nugget Correspondent
Enroute to Boy Scout Jamboree
at Valley Forge
July 8, 1957
Hi Everybody!
These are very crowded and
exciting times. I haven’t had
much of a chance to even address
a postoard. Just listen—
We were in Chicago less than
12 hours and we saw the Museum
of Natural History and the Mu
seum of Science and Industry,
went on an all-cLay tour, and went
swimming in Lake Michigan.
Lake Michigan was pretty cold
compared with most other places.
Seemed like Bering Sea water.
We then went back to the train
at 10:45 and got up at 6:00 the
next morning in Detroit.
We rushed to the Henry Ford
Museum, a 14-acre area floored
with teakwood and all under one
roof. It is one of the most inter
esting places I’ve ever been.
We were there until 10:00 and
then we went to Greenfield Vil
lage until noon. As soon as possi
ble we took the train to Niagara
Falls and had our eyes staring at
the falls by about 9 p.m. We did
not walk from the Canadian side
to the American side but were
taken by bus across the bridge.
We left Detroit on the train at
11:00 p.m. and disembarked in
New York at 6:00 a.m. Saturday
morning. We went directly to the
hotel on foot and checked in- By
9 o’clock we had finished break
fast and everyone then had a
short nap in their rooms. I would
have written then but I was too
pooped to pop!*
We went to Coney Island and
were there all day. We rode on
all the roller-coasters and all the
whirly-planes and exciting things
we could find. We were pooped
when we got back.
Sunday we went on a six-hour
tour and saw Chinatown and the
Bowery. The Bowery is the street
of the worst slums in New York.
We also went to the Statue of
Liberty. It’s magnificent! We
climbed up to the crown and
looked out. The people below
looked like ants (almost).
Today we had all free time. I
roamed around all day and bought
a lot of stuff. Tonight I’m going
on top of the Empire State Build
ing.
