Moselle Canal Links Germany and France (Universal Newsreel, Jun 1964)

Description

The original release sheet reads: MOSELLE CANAL LINKS GERMANY AND FRANCE The fabled Moselle River takes on an added dimension - after six years of work and 200 million dollars - a waterway has been completed that links the steel mills of Lorraine with the coal fields of the Ruhr Valley. Making his first public appearance since his illness, President DeGaulle hails it as a milestone in European cooperation. AIR-SEA RESCUE The Royal Air Force has developed a new rescue technique to snatch people trapped under the 300-foot cliffs at Ramsgate, England. They drop a rescuer and a life-raft and then blow them to the victim with the 'copter downdraft. It makes it easier to save the foolhardy from themselves. NEW SWIM HATS HIT HIGH FASHION NOTE In a setting of lush luxury in Venezuela the gals give us an insider's look at the swim caps that will crown beauty on the beach this summer. They are made of rows of petals and such gossamer stuff and they double as swim caps and beach bonnets. SPORTS THE BELMONT STAKES The story of the Belmont Stakes is told in three words- "Northern Dancer" lost. Seeking the third jewel in the triple crown - he won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness - the Canadian horse does no better than third as "quadrangle" takes the rich race going away.
