04. miracle of camera in America a young student of biology has built a special facility, with the help of the film to make visible growth processes of plants.
At certain intervals, lights and camera turn on automatically and hold the individual phases of growth.
And so you can see how falls case for case a plant.
In a matter of seconds, unfold the petals and wither again. A process, which recording requires months of patient work is recorded frame by frame at long intervals. For example every hour a shot. The Strip then performed at a normal pace, the miracle of time-lapse recording is created: the nature is outwitted.
So blooms of the Hibiscus shrub... And here the opposite effect, the focus of the overtime. The camera will reveal the secret of fastest movements, as here of the flying flight. Four sets of special lamps that rotate into faster motion provide illumination.
The film hurtles pictures at a speed of 85 km/h through the apparatus - as soon as a D-Zug. In a second 3,000 images are exposed.
And seems as slow motion of the otherwise invisible rhythm of wing beat - in reality the fly beats in a minute 18,000 times with wings.
The fly is moored with some wax on a needle. Through the heat of the spotlights, the wax melts - the fly detaches from the needle and begins to float in the free space.
And again: fastest movement before the miracle camera. Hummingbirds zip to the honey container - their wings so fast that they can stay in the air. The overtime Magnifier slows down this process to 150 times. You conjures up a graceful, dancing levitation from the blow of the wing. Secrets of nature - revealed through the miracle of the camera.

This survey method yields a precise picture of generally prevailing ideas. Up to three percent exactly, the Institute comes to the correct estimates of public opinion.
An expulsion must be taken through unreasonable in purchase. Here, the results are collected and analyzed. Public authorities - but also the science and the industrial - use the results and findings.

The English railway workers have often decided on Sunday employment.

An external sign of this purposeful busyness is rapidly progressive expansion of the London underground network.
This new line runs through tunnels, which hosted a 8 km long underground factory during the war.
England still has not the concerns and constraints for the entirety of how overcome for each long, but it can be haute already notice: things are looking up!

03. U.S.A

Friendship Train for Europe
Across America - from California to New York - runs a train which collects food for the starving population of Europe. The train is called the "Friendship Train". It is another guesture of the American people to help Europe. Filmstars, too, give their contribution. Car after car is fastened to the train and on the 4.000 kilometer distance each town adds to the line. Finally the train becomes too long, and has to go in several sections. Altogether 270 wagons full of food were collected. From the 12.000 tons France got 6.000 and the rest goes to other places in Europe, especially to Italy. The shipping companies joined this relief work and transport the whole shipment to Europe without cost.

04. Magic Camera
A young student of biology built a special camera device to make visible the growth of plants. Camera and lamps work together after a unique principle and record every single motion of plants growing. And so you see how leaf after leaf falls off a plant. The pictures for such film require months of work. Every hour a picture is taken. The hibiscus bush blooms. And here the super slow-motion camera. The camera will reveal the flight of a fly. Four sets of special lamps which revolve very quickly give the light. The film runs through the camera at a speed of 85 kilometers P.H. as fast as an express train. In one second 3.000 pictures are taken. And thus the fast motionof the wing seems to be very slow - although the fly strikes its wings 18.000 times per minute. The fly is fastened to a needle by wax, and by the heat of the lamps the wax melts and the fly flies off. And another test before the camera. Humming birds flutter so fast that they can stay in the air without moving forward. The super-slow motion camera reduces this speed 150 times. Secrets of nature revealed by the camera.

07. England:

England goes ahead
England has passed a year of the severest economic troubles. The new year begins with many signs of better times. Hard rationing for everybody and toil for the whole population have led to this better situation. Most important is the increase of coal production: the danger of coal and fuel shortage is eliminated. The traffic and communication services which were put into the hands of the state also prove the results of organisation and energy. Expert work at the reconstruction of transport apparatus, heavily knocked about during the war. The English railroad workers often decided to work on Sundays. Immediately after divine service working clothes are put on, and the shipment unloaded, so that on Monday the wagons can roll off. Another sign of business is the improvment of the underground network. This new line goes through tunnels which housed 8-kilometers-long factories during the war.
England could not eliminate all sorrows and shortages - but now it can be said: they go ahead!
