# All for Rural Construction in Thua Thien

A photo-montage poster (code SP-1000) headed 'Thua Thien' reports that 1,200 rural construction cadres were trained and sent out on 5 February 1966 at Phu Van Lau (Hue) under the commander of 1st Tactical Zone, and that the province also looks after the poor and those who fled communism. Photographs show a banner reading 'Everything for the countryside', cadres taking an oath, the Province Chief opening a road, school supplies handed to children, gifts handed to an elderly man, and Tet cakes given to refugees. Only the programme's successes appear on the sheet.

In addition, the Thua Thien provincial authorities always pay attention to improving the lives of the poor and of compatriots who are refugees from Communism in the locality.
