# Stieng Countrymen in Binh Long poster, No. 392 (Vietnamese poster distributed in Saigon)

A Vietnamese photo sheet headed 'The progress of the Stieng people in Binh-Long province'. Seven photographs show a village head using a loudspeaker, villagers reading leaflets and posters, women preparing food, and medical workers treating villagers, credited to a district psychological-warfare committee. The tell is card-stacking: only government help and benefits are shown, and 'progress' stays a general claim.

THE PROGRESS OF THE STIENG PEOPLE IN BINH-LONG PROVINCE

The hamlet head, a highlander, uses the highland language to explain the help of the district and provincial authorities to the Stieng people.

The people of the hamlet, old and young, men and women, listen attentively to the explanation in their mother tongue.

Two Stieng village women cut young jackfruit to make their favourite dish for the daily meal.

Posters pasted on old tree trunks along the village road attract quite a lot of highland people.

Thanks to the people's education programme, the Stieng people now begin to enjoy newspapers and leaflets in their free hours.

The health of the Stieng people is regularly cared for by medical workers.

Psychological-warfare cadres meet the Stieng people daily to help them progress in every respect.

February 1965

Joint psychological-warfare committee of An-Loc district, Binh-Long province.
