Bus Strike Catches

SPOKANE, (/P) — The United
States almost picked up several
new “residents" because of the
Northwest Greyhound strike.
Because the Canadian govern
ment limits the amount of money
a resident can take out of the
country, several Canadians were
caught without funds for rail fare
when buses stopped running last
Saturday.
The company, however, refund
ed the unused ticket price and
added enough for the purchase of
a return ticket on another line.
(In Seattle, William G. Hosie,
federal labor conciliator, said yes
terday there appears no prospect
of an immediate settlement of the
strike which is now in its fourth
day).
Willie Belts, member of the gen
eral committee of the big Native
Show to be held next Saturday
states that Sam Ailak has been
chosen to perform the dance
known as the “Seal Hunt” one of
the very picturesque numbers
I scheduled of a dramatic nature.
He also states that the prizes for
Bingo and other games which are
being made by members of the
group are really lovely examples
of native handicraft and worth
taking a chance on.
The Trading Post is having its

Headquarters
Destroyed by Fire
NORRISTOWN, Pa.. </P)—Three
Tuns Inn, the historic hostelry
where George Washington estab
lished his headquarters while his
army was at Valley Forge, was
destroyed in a $100,000 fire today.
Nine persons were asleep on the
upper floors, but all got out safely
as the blaze roared through the
three-story hotel in Upper Dublin
township not far from historic
Valley Forge.
Albert Wiesenauer, proporietor
of the inn since 1946, estimated
the total loss at $100,000.
Numerous firemen were over
come in the fire-hour fire.
In the critical winter of 1777-78
Washington’s men encamped at
Valley Forge. He spent the first
few nights in the log huts which
have been imortalized in history.
Shortly thereafter, the owner of
the most pretentious farmhouse—
later Three Tuns Inn—invited
Washington to escape the cold by
making his headquarters there.
Joe Dexter, pioneer merchant
and trader of Golovin left for
Fairbanks to attend the big car
nival now in progress.
