# A Better Way of Life in Binh Tuy: Refugees and Poor People Are Not Forgotten by the G.V.N.

A landscape sheet headed 'A new way of life in Binh Tuy' reports that the government's rural-improvement programme is training fishermen to assemble and run marine engines, issuing nylon nets, and delivering gifts to Cham and highland villagers. Five photographs show a class around an engine, an instructor at a blackboard, an officer addressing villagers and aid being handed out, with figures such as 372,520 piastres and 596 kilos of nylon line. The tell is the headline's claim that the government never forgets refugees from Communism and the poor, supported by itemised quantities.
