Current week Chronicle of Fréjus: that was the Malpasset dam. After several days of rains he has burst under the pressure of 50 million cubic meters of water, and within a few seconds plunged a 5 metre high tidal wave on the French Riviera city of Fréjus.
The salvage work could begin only when the waters were drained. Fréjus lay buried under rubble and mud. For almost a week took the search for the missing persons. After previously present messages, the disaster killed more than 500 people.

Rome: Rome was the first stop of a world tour, which leads the American President over 36 thousand kilometers in 11 major cities. In the pouring rain, Dwight D. Eisenhower was received by President Gronchi.
Main theme of the Italian American meetings were questions the upcoming summit meeting.
Jubilant applause accompanied Eisenhower on his trip to the Vatican. The remarkable program points of the small world tour include an audience of the President when Pope Johannes XXIII.

Soltau: This field artillery rockets for the armed forces come from the United States. You are guided in the language under the title "Honest John", a term which refers essentially to their reliability.
The Lüneburg Heath these days was venue for the German premiere of rocket. The 8-meter-long and 2 thousand kilograms missile flies at supersonic speeds and has a range of about 30 kilometers.

Rendsburg: Not less noisily went to the Moor layer in Rendsburg. Blast mines were laid for the construction of a road to the Kiel Canal.
Where the road dam is to be built later, sand mountains are covered. At the moment of the explosion, the loose sand in the gas-filled cavities penetrates and is pushed out of the Drillers digested sludge. Fluctuating soil attaches this from out of the depth and the future road leads on safe ground.

Eardrum in the barrage of the world in which we live! A world of noise! A world full of noise!
Medical studies have confirmed that the noise of the big city people lead to health damage. The human eardrum, say doctors, is no longer grown the barrage of everyday life.
It would be just as pointless as inappropriate to blame the technology alone, because we have it in the hand. But who feel already the nerves of his fellow men as schonungsbedürftig? And here it starts with little things, because we know that there are Yes the small causes, ending with great effects.

Krippen Studio In the advent season for cribs artist is and we visited one of the most important among them in Munich. It is the now 70 Theodor Gämmerler who developed the old tradition of Nativity scenes-building together with his wife up to the Championship. Elaborate Nativity scenes are again much in demand and Gämmerler's scenery from the biblical land gently in the cradle of Bavarian mentality embedded, is one of the most beautiful representations that arise today in Germany.

America celebrates different Christmas in Germany is something other than Christmas in America and as the Christmas tree in the face of New York skyscrapers at least in its proportions is unusual, also the arrival of Father Christmas in Hollywood is so unusual. Led by brass bands and renowned film actors comes the glory and happy Christmas in each case is taken literally.
There is no shortage of attractions. Acclaimed hero of the day is and remains Santa Claus, the friend of children.

Sports teens Grace children and young people celebrated in Stockholm the 40. Anniversary of the gymnastic associations in Sweden. Gymnastic exercises of this kind are very popular in the Scandinavian countries and occupy a special place on the curriculum of the schools. World famous become headed the Swedish Turnrautter Maja CARLQUIST: the graceful and sweeping Sofia Flickôr.

The winter price the flyer was the winter price on the trotting course in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. 18 horses start to the Möhrchenrennen and Primo, no.3, interested in the run-up for the movie car of the camera.
No. 2, the Middeldorfer Peter Marlen, and no. 1, Else Wallace, but both without serious chances.
The decision between Brückner and solitary man. And solitary man, no. 5, winner will remain in the final sprint.

Premiere in hearty snow snow, a beautiful and brilliant sunshine, are all the ingredients that give a train lace cocktail the right flavour. If you can choose to make matters worse between snowmen and snowmen, nothing in the way is the beginning of winter pleasures.
The German ski salon was opened on the Zugspitzplatt and as the first race of the year, the traditional door was on the programme, which was denied much of the young.
Number 4, Bärbel Haran by the SC Partenkirchen, enrolled in the list of winners of the ladies.
The men's giant slalom led over 800 metres and goals defined by 37. After the seven German champions Sepp Behr was disqualified, the way was free for Beni o Doherty.
The stormy Beni from Rottach-Egern faced the flag forest in one minute 15.3, and thus became the fourth time winners on the Zugspitzplatt.

The spectacle began in the 8th round. André Drille must twice to the ground. The Gong hit brings the rescue, but with this round, the Frenchman has lost even the fight.
In the 14th round's Drille once again on the attack over, but Bubi Scholz leaves him coming and with icy-cold Konterschlägen, he drives his opponent on the boards.
André Drille is worn down and exhausted. Under the blows of the European champion, he teetering on the ropes. The referee put an end to the fighting.
