# RD Teams Serve Bac-Lieu

Under a red banner, five photographs show smiling armed cadres wading a canal, repairing a road, clearing a garden with hoes, and explaining the programme to seated villagers in Bac Lieu province. The text says the cadres are determined to 'destroy communism' and build the countryside for a prosperous life. The tell is the pairing of armed, cheerful young men with manual labour, presenting the cadres as neighbours who work alongside villagers.

RURAL CONSTRUCTION CADRES DO THEIR UTMOST TO SERVE THE COMPATRIOTS OF BAC-LIEU

Even though the roads are cut off and obstructed, the cadres still press on to remote villages to help the rural people.

The Bac-Lieu R.C. cadres are determined to destroy communism and build up the country in order to bring the people a prosperous, peaceful and happy life. The cadre team has gone from one hamlet to another to help the people.

The cadres repair the road to help the people travel easily.

The cadres clear gardens to help the people increase household production.

Besides helping the people with building and repair work, the cadres also set aside time to explain the government's R.C. programme and how to apply new methods.
