Witch's Cauldron North Sea
The English coast is on high alert. A hurricane-like winter storm put 16 ships in distress and endangered the dikes. In the storm-swept North Sea, sailors fought a dramatic battle against the forces of the sea. The fireship "Goodwin" was tossed onto a sandbank and capsized. Off the Welsh coast, the 20,000-tonne World Concord tanker broke into two parts. For 24 hours, seven sailors drifted helplessly on the detached stern. The crew of the Dutch freighter Veda, which was lost in the English Channel, was completely rescued. It was a black day for seafaring.

Spotlight of the week:

London
Thousands of people in London are piling up contributions to the Churchill donation, which will be donated to charity once the collection is completed. The occasion for this is the 80th birthday of Winston Churchill, one of the great and central figures of our contemporary history. The first congratulatory telegrams that arrived at 10 Downing Street [unreadably] birthday child fresh and cheerful. [unreadable]

Godesberg
Error! This is not the captain of a flying saucer, but a bourgeois earth, equipped with measuring instruments for radioactive radiation. The Federal Institute for Civil Air Protection opened the first training courses with new all-terrain fire engines. And this is what the air-raid warden of tomorrow looks like: wrapped in ghostly protective suits and reinforced with the radiation-seeking gammaskop, the so-called atomic eye.

Vienna
A living example of unbroken vitality is the American Herald Russel, who lost both hands in the war as a soldier. He came to Vienna for the Congress of the World Federation of War Participants. With almost superhuman energy and iron will, he has mastered his difficult fate. Without any particular difficulties, he signs his book, which he wrote without his hands. Faith, courage and self-confidence have given him back to life.

Neuenahr
Politicians and the press found a common platform: the dance floor at the Federal Press Ball. Federal President Heuss, Professor Carlo Schmid, Interior Minister Dr. Schröder and Sternchen and Sterne der Leinwand met with numerous journalists for a raucous ball night. At the reconciling sound of the dance music, they were all seen together, arm in arm and shoulder to shoulder.

Nerve killer
Noise is a big city of our time. Sometimes it is inevitable, but in many cases it can be avoided, namely when one thinks of the nerves: one's own and the stranger. Not everyone who hammers his neighbor's eardrum is an outspoken Radau brother, and often there is no need to realize that in this world you are rarely alone. And when things get tough at times, we should all be much calmer!
