Tanker
The largest ship ever built in Europe, the tanker "Myrina", is launched in Belfast. Momentarily aground because of tricky winds, she's freed almost immediately. She measures 1,050 feet long, 191,000 tons! The tanker slowly comes free from a dry dock ramp and enters the water. The camera tilts upward from its' base to show the ship's size. Tugs pull on the ships ropes in a harbor.
Indian Art
The village of Pisinimo, west of Tucson, boasts a tiny church, which houses some outstanding examples of original Indian religious art. The murals include "The Last Supper" done in traditional, centuries-old geometric pottery design. Road signs point the direction of the village. Tall cactuses are adorned with crucifixes. Various shots of the interior and exterior of the church. Parish priest and altar boys exit the church.
Japan
Four days of rain bring serious floods too rural and river towns in Japan. Over fifty persons are dead, eighty missing, and damage believed to be in the hundreds of millions. Flood water covers city streets. A man rides his bicycle through the water. Shopkeepers enter their establishment, and attempt to salvage goods. A worker removes can from standing water and places them on dry shelves. Clay tile roof homes are partially submerged in murky water.
Hippie Fashions
London "hippies" stage their own kind of fashion show in a psychedelic Chelsea showroom. Anything goes, from Russian knickers to a frontless frock coat, mini-pants, and fur-trimmed coats. Men and women dressed in trendy hippie fashions swing and dance around on a dance floor. Maraca playing, sunglasses, way out stuff.
Inventions
New York's inventor's show displays an "amphicat" for all-surface transportation; a flying submarine, forerunner of a proposed jet-job aimed for the Navy; and a one-man speedy hydrofoil craft. All inventors are shown displaying or modeling their inventions in the outdoors.
Gorillas
The first gorilla twins ever born in captivity are christened "Alice" and "Ellen" at the Frankfort Zoo. People at the ceremony wear facemasks to protect them from human germs! Gorilla babies are dressed in human infant cloths, and are held by the entertainment stars they are named after. Close-ups of the animals. The stars feed them a bottle. Press photographers wear medical masks while shooting pictures. Press confrence.
