# Activities in Tan Uyen

PICTURES OF THE ACTIVITIES
OF THE BINH DINH COOPERATION I CAMPAIGN, TAN-UYEN DISTRICT
LAUNCHED 9 — 10 — 1964 AT TAN-BA

The newspapers and leaflets issued by the Binh Dinh campaign team were all welcomed by everyone.

The Tong-Bang bridge linking Tan-Ba and Tan-Uyen (Phuoc-Thanh province) has always been sabotaged by the Viet Cong. This time it was damaged more than ever.

Traffic was halted, and as a result the compatriots' trade and livelihood met with great difficulty, especially when moving goods.

Sympathising with the compatriots' situation, within the framework of the Cooperation I campaign the authorities set about repairing this bridge.

Within one week the bridge was fully repaired. The compatriots' travel and trade are again convenient and easy as before.

A Binh Dinh deputy major [or 'Major, deputy officer'] is distributing radios to the compatriots so they can follow the news and relax after tiring work.

Campaign cadres are helping the compatriots weave baskets to hold rice for the coming harvest.

Farmers, in peace, reap the fruit of their own labour after days of hard toil.

Rice-paper making is also one of the main livelihoods of the local compatriots.

The road is repaired and reinforced so that travel is faster and easier.

Issued by the cultural propaganda team.

The phrase 'thiếu tá phụ tá Bình Định' is rendered literally as an assistant major of the Binh Dinh team; the exact title is uncertain. Some small caption lettering is faint.
