New Life Hamlets Inaugurated in Binh Duong

A landscape sheet headed 'New Life hamlet complex just inaugurated in Binh Duong' shows a ribbon-cutting by the province chief on 28 March 1966 with uniformed Vietnamese and American officers, a column of rural development cadres in black, and a well, a dispensary and a hamlet office. The captions credit the cadre teams with building and 'pacification' of two New Life hamlets. The tell is the before-and-after sequence of ceremony, workers and finished buildings, which presents construction as the only visible result of the programme.
