# Progress of An-Tuc District

A horizontal photo-sheet (code SP-1161) headed 'Progress in An-Tuc' reports a new textile workshop at An-Khe opened by Chairman Nguyen Cao Ky, a Scout troop welcoming U.S. generals Kinnard and Wright of the 1st Cavalry Division, a U.S. Army doctor holding a baby, and the district's first newspaper issue. Named officials and aid bodies (the Asian Christian Service and CARE) are listed under each photograph. The sheet offers named people and finished projects as proof of progress and says nothing of the war around the district.
