# Phu Yen Chieu Hoi Center Offers a Start Toward a New Life

A landscape sheet of seven black-and-white photographs under a blue headline shows the Phu Yen Chieu Hoi (Open Arms) reception centre: a mother and baby, the main building, a water barrel, table tennis, a lecture hall, vegetable plots and new huts under construction. Captions say the rallying soldiers ('Hoi Chanh Vien') live in peace under the Government's protection. The tell is the selection of comforts and ordinary activity, with nothing shown of screening, interrogation or conditions for those who did not rally.
