6,000 Flee Hong Kong Avalanche (Universal Newsreel, Aug 1964)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 6,000 FLEE HONG KONG AVALANCHE Torrential rains in the wake of Typhoon Ida mounted what was nearly a major disaster in Hong Kong. Loosened by the storm, hundreds of tons of mud roared down from the hillside, burying houses and sending 6,000 people fleeing for their lives. Four persons are missing and presumed dead. QUEEN ELIZABETH VACATIONS The quiet little town of Ballater in Scotland comes into the news each summer with the arrival of the royal family for a vacation at Balmoral Castle. They're all here. Princess Anne, Prince Charles and 4-year-old Prince Andrew. New on the scene is Prince Edward, five months. And-let us not forget a brace of Welsh Corgis. BEAUTY IN ANY LANGUAGE A grave decision on the international front is resolved as "Miss Philippines" is chosen "MISS INTERNATIONAL BEAUTY". Gemma Cruz says she's using her $10,000 prize money to establish an orphanage in Manila. NEW HOLLYWOOD TOURIST ATTRACTION Ground is broken at Universal City for a tourist village. Here movie buffs can get an inside look at how movies are made---all of the magic revealed before their eyes. Can't you just picture the thrill? SPORTS WORLD'S GREATEST HORSE SHOW Horse lovers consider the Dublin Horse Show the premier attraction in the world of horses and the Centenary exhibit proves why. In the Dublin Horse jumping stakes it's a duel between two Irish entrants before Tommy Brennan on Donegal is after coming out in front. It was a lovely affair, with all Ireland bursting with pride.
