# ARVN and Allies Protect the Harvest in Hieu Xuong and Tuy Hoa

A landscape sheet headed 'The Republic of Vietnam army and the Allies protect the harvest and help the people fleeing Communism in Hieu Xuong and Tuy Hoa' sets three photographs (reaping, villagers carrying loads along a road, civilians on an allied truck) beside two statistical tables of rice harvested and relief given between 16 December 1965 and 12 February 1966. The closing banner reads 'A protected countryside means people can live and work in peace.' The tell is the table of totals and donors presented as the whole account, with the army shown only as escort and protector.
