Curtain on!
And in these days in which more often than usual is the word of peace on Earth, we should keep in mind: there is the Church of Stapelburg and on both sides of the zone boundary the Ecker Valley settlement. The railway line is interrupted for 13 years and 13 years the disused railway station serves as the Church for the 350 residents of the village. No Bell, no organ playing. The altar in a former saloon.

Current notes nuclear missile: peace on Earth! And the bitter realities of our time still ranging in the Christmas week. "Regulus" the Americans call their latest nuclear missile, which was used in a submarine maneuvers and tested.

Atomic alert: Peace on Earth! And in Sacramento, California To give the nuclear alarm sirens. In a large-scale exercise, American families were acquainted for the first time with possible fleeing an approaching driving nuclear cloud. The people are evacuated and everything runs as planned, namely exactly how one imagines the worst in the United States.

Nobel prizes: at the same time Sweden's capital Stockholm was the ceremony for one of the strongest events of the year.
They came together once again, to underline the human size and scientific advances of the century in a festive atmosphere. In the Stockholm Concert Hall were by King Gustav Adolf the Nobel prices presented.

Peace Prize: And if at the end of our Christmas viewing still a comforting conclusion, then by the Belgian Dominican father Pire, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in Oslo which, by which we mean that it is the highest award which can be presented in our days. Happy December spree double life: our cheerful December spree begins in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, where we need to send one ahead: you're wrong, ladies and gentlemen.
You have here not with a mirror image, but with a real image to do it. In a sense as a prelude to a World Congress of the twins all those who have the privilege to be present in duplicate met.

Little acrobats: you are wrong, also, if you think that it is ridiculous to have a bird. At an exhibition of tropical splendor copies in Haarlem, a A lot Hausmesse Lord of Houten showed that are birds able to To find their way in every situation.

Great artists: our little acrobats remind us In addition, that the large acrobats celebrate at the time again big premieres.
Christmas time is circus time! Everywhere in Europe, London and Zurich, Prague and Paris. The sensation of Paris present Lucien greeting, 6 years young and is a Tamer as he in the beech stands.
The ring is again playing their entire assets. Yes, and if you ask me: there is nothing better than a good juggler.
And if you To want to hear my opinion: nothing is more exciting than an exciting dressage of the predator.

International stars: and because we have had you as beautiful on the ice, we remain the same here, at the international star parade for example, which will be in Germany with skating artists from 13 countries, with a stimulating mixture to get warm in the cold season.

Sports: Bubi Scholz winner a week of dramatic box events takes US first to Paris. In the Palais des sports, the German European champion Bubi Scholz encountered the French Ballarin, who puts everything on one card in this fight.
Badly bruised, Ballarin third round save. He tried his salvation in the attack, but Scholz dominated his opponent with almost mathematical precision.
Once again must Ballarin, who was never knocked out, on the boards, but he rises again and brave he is going through 10 laps.
Bubi Scholz is nachPunkten winner.

The new European champion a few days previously in Hamburg from the outset was a knockout in the air. European champion Willi Hoepner, in dark pants, to a title fight with the young up-and-coming star Erich Schöppner is met here. The Hamburg box veteran fought for his light heavyweight champion belt.
In the 5 round is The end approaching. Hoepner is invalidated by a heavy precipitation over time to the ground.
Once again, it was so far, that an old ring veteran was replaced by a younger. Flowers for the new European champion Erich Schöppner...

The athlete of the year... and flowers for Marianne Werner, who was chosen Sportswoman of the year in Dortmund, Germany. After a long series of successes as 10 times German and this year's European champion deserved award of the sports press have been you, as well as Fritz Thiedemann, who accepted the honorary award of the Federal as sportsman of the year. It is the culmination of over 80 equestrian victories in 1958.
Herbert Schade received the award for the most successful team. It is the 40-man team of the German track and field athletes. Do you still remember? Almost every week we have reported to you by the great Länderkämpfen of this year's season and every international competition ended with a German victory and if we think back: Germany's track and field athletes were due the UFA Wochenschau stars. It is to hope and to believe that little will change.
