The text says 65 refugee families who fled Communist harassment from Cua Can were moved to Ba Dang with help from the Refugee Relief Service, and that the people are 'no longer refugees; they have a new homeland.'

Lúc trước họ ở Cửa Cạn, một xã gần ranh giới Bình-Tuy — Bình-Thuận nhưng đã tự động dời đi đến địa điểm mới với sự trợ giúp của Ty Cứu Trợ Đồng Bào Tỵ Nạn. Chính Quyền với chương trình tự túc đã giúp các gia đình đồng bào tỵ nạn xi măng và tôn để xây dựng lại nhà cửa. Ba-Đàng ngày nay nhà cửa khang trang... Với sự giúp đỡ của Chính Phủ, dân chúng đã có thể sinh sống dễ dàng. Nguồn lợi chính là đánh cá tôm ngoài biển khơi. NHÂN DÂN BA-ĐÀNG KHÔNG CÒN LÀ NHỮNG NGƯỜI TỴ NẠN; HỌ ĐÃ CÓ MỘT QUÊ HƯƠNG MỚI. Dân chúng cũng đã đắp một con đường nối liền Quận lỵ Hàm-Tân với Ấp Ba-Đàng. 3125 ``` English translation (machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader) ``` NEW LIFE IN BA-DANG HAMLET 65 refugee families at the Ba-Dang resettlement site have rebuilt a new and promising life in place of the life full of uncertainty, constantly disturbed by the Communists, that they had before. Formerly they lived in Cua Can, a village near the Binh-Tuy / Binh-Thuan border, but they moved of their own accord to the new site with the help of the Refugee Relief Service. The Government, with the self-help programme, has helped the refugee families with cement and corrugated iron sheets to rebuild their homes. Ba-Dang today, spacious houses... With the Government's help, the people are now able to live comfortably. The main source of income is catching shrimp and fish out at sea. THE PEOPLE OF BA-DANG ARE NO LONGER REFUGEES; THEY HAVE A NEW HOMELAND. The people have also built a road linking Ham-Tan district town with Ba-Dang hamlet. 3125 ``` Mixed upper and lower case as printed.
