Summary:

HINDU PILGRIMAGE: The Himalayan Mountains, known as the "roof of the world," are the dwelling place of the Hindu God Shiva. Each year thousands of India's faithful make a pilgrimage to his ice cave to wash away sickness and sin. It is a long, hard journey --- 14,000 feet from the hot Plains of India into the bitter cold. MOVING A MOUNTAIN: One of the new wonders of the world is under construction on the Peace River in British Columbia. The river was first diverted from its bed and now engineers are constructing a hydro-electric project that calls for a mile-and-a-half dam, 600 feet high. A $10,000,000 conveyor belt brings materials three miles to the construction site. A BANG-UP AFFAIR: When jalopy jockeys gather at Hednesford Hills Raceway in Britain, anything can happen....and it usually does. These are stock cars. The only resemblance to the family auto is a dented fender or two as they race a Figure Eight course with a crash, bang, boom! SPORTS HAMBTFTONIAN RUN-OFF: Top event in Harness Racing - the Hambletonian - has eleven horses trotting after the rich prize in DuQuoin, Illinois. For the fourth time in the 4O-year history of the race it takes four heats to decide the winner..."EGYPTIAN CANDOR" wins his third race of the year....a race worth $60,000.
