This policy: Stability and progress self-confident, approved and in a good mood as rare showed Rainer Barzel and its Christian Democrats on the CDU's election Party Congress in Wiesbaden. A touch of muted victory optimism was higher than the 603 voting delegates, numerous guests and about 100 journalists in the Rhein-Main-Halle.
Party statisticians had never before counted more participants. The role of Congress as a "Springboard" left the Government responsibility be measured also in the number of visitors.
It was clear to appeal to voters. So was Germany, the programmatic core of this Party Congress, stand before the decision either to continue the course of the SPD or to be renewed by the Union in the spirit of its principles.

Dr. rain he Barzel: ' with a warm welcome for you all I am opening the 20th National Congress of the CDU. This Congress will be a milestone on the way to the political renewal of Germany. It concerns the reversal on a path that kept the previously reached but endangered and we trust us, my friends, that what Germany needs a new start, the repentance and change.
We want a social market economy, others make them increasingly into question. We want stability, the others diminish inflation. We want codecision, the others are for heteronomy. "We want the Republic, this value order, this freedom with their security and say the policy program of the young Union: policy is for us something, but value-realization, to realize the values of our Constitution and our principles."

Including aviation: wooden crates Americans have discovered a new toy. Replicas of fighter aircraft from the first Wektkrieg circle before the astonished eyes of the viewers in the sky of Virginia.
Young airplane fans and old pilots do so - as if. Exactly, they have reconstructed in shape, size and material, what their role models needed to enter as heroes in the history of the war. The Frenchman Guynemer shot down 53 enemy, American Richenbaker gave it 26 killings, although the United States entered the war in 1917, and finally 80 models in all sizes made the German Baron von Richthofen the adventures of the flying machines of wood and wire illustrate also the smallest. The screenings are one of the main attractions but. Trailing scenes show then how easy it was, to be an Aviator ACE. Five killings ranged - also for the others, to die with honor for the fatherland.

This report: Action peace village more than the sounds of their native language betrayed the injuries their homeland - children from Viet Nam in the peace village Oberhausen - here they are healthy as far as it ever goes. Here, they can learn a profession, which is meant to use them at home. Crazy was initially called the plan to build a peace village in Oberhausen. The initiative of some citizens and four million mark in donations made it possible. Five years ago, the action of village of peace began with the construction of the rehabilitation centre. A few weeks ago the pastor brought President of action peace village Fritz Berghaus, for the fourth time children from Viet Nam to Oberhausen. We asked about his problems.

Pastor Bailey: "there are difficulties in obtaining financial, because a war has already been paid, the war is always paid, just the injured get the result, it must be paid, and a child, for example, a querschnittgelähmtes child, costs 1,000 mark with us a month."
Pastor Bailey not satisfied adopt so as to help some occupied a few children in the Federal Republic. He plans to build a second peace village in Dalat, Viet Nam. A Centre for medical relief and permanent care. Because otherwise, it is under no circumstances responsible for bringing a very gehbehindertes child who clamped, cumbersome can run only on two crutches in a high corset, to Viet Nam. No one is there, who can monitor the difficult walking apparatus and repair.'
Buy a home could already Pastor Bailey in Dalat. Lack of funds inhibits the rapid expansion. In the Federal Republic, he touches the drum. For Pastor Bailey has only active help, passive pity is not enough.

This entertainment: Soul genius ' everything has its good sides-you see, I feel '-Ray Charles again on tour.
In Berlin, the 40-year old proved what seemed to doubt critical fans at his last concerts - to be still the most important living soul artist of the world.
' I'm an ordinary man, I am married, have kids, a nice house, a thriving company. But you can believe me, rdaß I's me hard earned.' So Ray Charles once about yourself. He showed it at the Sports Palace.
