RECENTLY BUILT ... ... AND UNDER CONSTRUCTION ... OVER THE PAST YEAR THE VINH-LONG PROVINCIAL AUTHORITY HAS HELPED THE LOCAL PEOPLE, SELF-SUFFICIENTLY, TO BUILD THE TA-THU-THAU SECONDARY SCHOOL IN LAP-VO DISTRICT, WITH 10 CLASSES HOLDING 500 PUPILS. APART FROM THE PEOPLE'S LABOUR, THE CONSTRUCTION COST REACHED 460,000 VN$. THANKS TO THE AID OF THE FRIENDLY COUNTRY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE DEVOTED HELP OF THE LOCAL AUTHORITY, ONE OF THE CONCRETE BRIDGES IN THE NEW-LIFE HAMLETS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, MAKING TRAVEL EASIER FOR THE PEOPLE THAN BEFORE. IN THE SELF-HELP RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME, A PRIMARY SCHOOL HAS ALSO BEEN COMPLETED IN TAN-PHU-TRUNG VILLAGE, SA-DEC DISTRICT. LIEUTENANT COLONEL HUYNH-NGOC-DIEP, PROVINCE CHIEF OF VINH-LONG, VISITED THE SCHOOL AND ENCOURAGED THE PUPILS TO STUDY DILIGENTLY. This is a market in Phong-Hoa village, Duc Thanh district, being rebuilt. The authority helps with materials and money so the people can build. On the occasion of the opening of the Tan-Phu-Trung health station, Sa-Dec district, on 31-12-65, Lieutenant Colonel Huynh-Ngoc-Diep, Province Chief of Vinh Long, praised the cooperative spirit of a local resident who had contributed to completing the health station. In the work of eradicating the Communist bandits, improving the life of rural people is no less important. Therefore the Vinh Long provincial authority has set out a self-help rural development programme. With the people's enthusiastic participation and the Government's material assistance, the people of the province have contributed labour to build health stations, secondary and primary schools, bridges and roads, and to expand markets.
