This year in New York the Ski-fans have been out of luck: there has not been enough snow. So the skiing takes place indoors ... at least for the beginners. This way, accidents are impossible. Nevertheless this method teaches them how to ski. Now we jump from America to France. And there, sport fashions seem to be more important than the sport. Names like Madelaine de Roche and Jacques Fath are among the stylists of these sport-fashions. This is something like a ski-evening-dress. And here are a pair of trousers which also cover the feet - it would particularly suit ski-babies.

03. Newsflashes from Germany:

"Germans help Germans". This is the slogan of the "Soziale Helfer-Ring" in Augsburg. This is a Care Package Organization which sends food packages into the Eastern Zone. 1000 packages are sent weekly over the border to relatives, friends or even unknown needy persons. There are different types of packages. The cost per package is far under the retail trade price. So the people in the Western Zones help their fellow-men behind the Iron Curtain.

"Missi" is very modest. 7 months of the year she lives on air - and the rest of the year she is satisfied, with some fish. Only the nostrils must be treated with a special crocodile salve. In 100 years "Missi" will dream of these memories.

04. Women Workers for England
England accepts German women workers from the Sudetenland and from other places outside Germany who have entered the US Zone, because of her lack of women workers in the textile industry. The girls are registered with the German Arbeitsamt. Let's follow thejourney of such a girl from Munich. From a representative of the British Mission she gets instruction about her future work. Then the girls get medical treatment. In the camp of Münster their passes are signed. Each girl receives a sterling voucher for the first days in England ticket with the destination of the journey. And here we see the same girl from Munich at a weaver's loom in England. The girls are given the opportunity of continuing any studies they prefer.

And here is a picture of your heart. Though it doesn't beat in waltz time, at least it beats for you, and you can see it. - Would you really like to see how it looks when you paint your lips? Allright. It does not look nice but that's the way it looks. And when two people quarrel, a third laughs - - in this case it's the revealing x-ray apparatus.
