Summary:

YUGOSLAV FLOODS LEAVE 10,000 HOMELESS: Yugoslavia suffers her worst flood in modern history as rivers in Central and Southern areas of the country smash their banks. Tens of thousands are homeless. It is the greatest disaster to hit the nation since the Skopje earthquake of 1963. HOMAGE TO BUDDHA: The Festival of Vesak is celebrated throughout the Buddhist world to mark the birth date of the Lord Buddha. In Ceylon, millions flock to temples to pray and to meditate. At night the towns and cities are lighted in a spectacular electrical display. ART IN MANHATTAN: New York's Park Avenue steps back into the past....25 centuries ago....as a Mexican Stone Head is displayed, all 16 tons of it, before it goes on exhibition at New York's World's Fair. Meanwhile, in Greenwich Village they hold the annual outdoor art show where you can pick up bargains from artists who have no claim to fame...at present. SPORTS WATER SKIING SANS BOAT: American ingenuity and a Swiss invention combine to bring water skiing to landlocked areas. On an artificial lake at Colton, California, an elaborate cable arrangement skims skiers over the water as they hold tow ropes. Look, Ma, no boat!
