# The Authorities of Phuoc Long Province Pay Attention to Material and Spiritual Needs of the People

A landscape sheet headed 'The Phuoc Long provincial government cares for the material and spiritual life of the local people' shows named officials giving out blankets and clothing, trucks delivering rice, salt and cloth to a hamlet of highland refugees, cattle kept under government protection, and crowds at a news-picture display and a television set. Captions credit the Viet Cong with earlier seizures of crops and cattle. The tell is a run of aid scenes under a general claim of care, with named officials in each frame.

THE PHUOC LONG PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT CARES FOR THE MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL LIFE OF THE LOCAL PEOPLE

On the occasion of a visit to the people of the An Luong-Thuan Kiem inter-hamlet, Mr. DAO VAN NGAY, Deputy Province Chief for Administration, and Mr. LUONG VAN TAM, Chairman of the Phuoc Long Provincial Council, handed out many gifts such as blankets, cloth, clothing and food to a number of poor families.

Mr. TRAN PHU, Chief of the Communist Refugee Service, together with Lieutenant Y ROC, Chief of the Phuoc Long Highland Affairs Service, guided subordinate cadres carrying gifts such as rice, salt, cooking oil, mosquito nets, blankets and cloth to Son Ha hamlet (a settlement for highland people who are refugees from the communists) for distribution to the people.

The highland people of Son Ha I hamlet raise cattle to build a livelihood under the protection of the national government and the army of the Republic of Vietnam, no longer having their property robbed and their rice seized, as before, by the Viet Cong who call themselves the National Liberation Front of the South.

Information posts have been set up so that the people have a place to [s]ee current news pictures.

Television is the quickest and most attractive means of information for the people of Phuoc Long province.
