The current event, Dr. Heinrich Lübke and his wife made a visit to the Villa Hammerschmidt.
In the welcoming atmosphere of the Federal President and his successor on the 10-year experiences of Professor Heuss as head of State chatted.
Geneva is once again meeting of Foreign Ministers.
Christian Herter - United States.
Selwyn Lloyd arrived from England.
Andrei Gromyko - Soviet Union.
Guest from Italy: Minister Pella. Then came Couve de Murville, France.
The Western representatives for an informational interview met prior to the start of the Conference.
The art summer began in Kassel. The exhibition "documenta II" appeared among other 250 sculptures by 88 sculptors.
Is to navigate through the maze of modern art, is certainly not for everyone, but it would be wrong to reject something, what you don't understand at the moment. We cannot say Which one of these works has lasting value. But we should bear in mind that every artistic period is a confrontation with their time. And as a reflection and expression of the time a work of art says often more than a whole history book.
So we saw him often: Grock, the great clown who now unexpectedly died at the age of 79. Let us love the many beautiful hours in which he laugh from the heart.
The French island of Madagascar had high visit. President de Gaulle was enthusiastically greeted in the capital Tananariva of the population.
By French enmity was here to feel a thing. The few policemen were only an additional decoration of a magnificent train.
In the remote New Guinea police had more serious concerns. She hunted the killer of a police officer. It had started that an indigenous woman had died. To end the mourning period, a relative had to kill a man after an old custom. So the policeman died. And since there were cannibals, they ate him. The culprits were arrested, identified the killer. However, the penalty will be mild. For the men knew it otherwise. First, education is Yes, the basis of civilization. An old tradition - and he was still so terrible, you can not today ' abolish overnight. And certainly not by penalties alone.
Let us now prefer an other ancient custom, which is much more friendly. Come to Africa on an original Bantu wedding.
We are on a native reserve in Pretoria, the capital of the Union of South Africa. The youth tirelessly stomps the wedding dance.
Before the radiant couple, the medicine man summons evil spirits with stick and umbrella. What is the screen it? I don't know, maybe earthquake rain conjure. But then we would need urgently a such splendid prop in our latitudes.

The voice of the Sun a strange sound, isn't it? In the form of rays he has made us difficult to create. It is the voice of the Sun, as it penetrates from a hundred and fifty million kilometres distance to us. Picked up by a radio astronomy Institute in France.
With special equipment, the constant thermonuclear reactions on the Sun's surface are made here registered and can be heard.
The meteorological stations recorded a high after another. When the heat was at its worst, it was a relief at least for the children: the big holiday were there. It began the assault on the stations.
Out of the city - that was the slogan. And as close as possible to the water. There it occurred are, like the sardine in oil, but there was still something refreshing.
It was already a right dog heat at any distraction was most welcome.
Of course, this theme took a wide space in the daily press. It was indeed a topical problem, the real problem was the buzz of some campers. A cooking zone in the forest, a carelessly discarded cigarette could have terrible consequences. Almost all forest fires resulted from carelessness.
And increasingly, the Sun burning. The ground ripped up. The fields withered. To prevent the worst, they tried it with artificial irrigation.
The milk cans of the farmers were now a reverse way. They took water from the homestead on the field. As the meadows gave no more fodder, hay had to be managed also.
Wells dried up and were dug deeper.
The waterworks had many difficulties, to help the population consumption had to be often restricted on the day.
The request was for water hard to breastfeed.
Who was a right animal friend, who shared the precious liquid. You had to know just to help.
As a result of the drought, grazing the sheep in the middle of Berlin. Only the drinks manufacturers were really happy. The rest was continued. The provision for the winter could not increase even in the heat of hell. Finally, yes the coal must be.
Service is service, and brandy is brandy? You must not disconnect. It should be enough in the end surely when it is properly tightened. But anyway - we wish you amused dog.

The best riders from seven countries in hawkestone Park, England, on the wildly eventful journey over hill and Dale were sports for the "great international prize of the cyclo-cross specialists".
It was a spectacle so right after the heart of motor sports fans that lined the track to thousands. There were breakdowns and failures and flying people to the heavy machinery of the 500-cc class.
After a hard battle over twice twelve rounds, Jeff Smith won the victory and a magnificent piece for the dowry. Painting horses racy - nice - known riders and professionals of the tournament sports and 34 thousand spectators at the German jumping Derby, 1959 in Hamburg-Kleinflottbek.
Despite big competitors such as Edmund Müller on 'Heidschnucke' and the brothers d ' Inzeo, Piero on "the rock" it was Takia big day.
"Retina", "Meteor" and "Godewind" so far four-time Derby winner brought three horses in the playoff. -Alwin Schockemöhle on "Ramona" was second.
In a brilliant manner, rode Fritz Thiedemann the seven year old grey Mare "Retina" 46.7 seconds beyond the chosen difficult course and thus won for the fifth time in the German jumping Derby. Bravo, Fritz!
