# News of Darlac

A landscape sheet titled 'Current Pictures of Darlac Province' groups five photographs with Vietnamese captions and parallel captions in Rhade: a province chief handing out relief money, villagers receiving subsidised radios, a new five-kilometre road, and a visit by the U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Dates in March 1966 and costs in piastres are printed under each. The tell is the news-page layout, which lends a newspaper's look of record to a selection of government achievements and an official visit.
