# Tan-Uyen On the Road to Reconstruction (Tân-Uyên trên đường xây dựng)

A landscape sheet of five photographs of Tan Uyen district shows a woman feeding pigs, a district chief addressing a crowd of villagers with armed soldiers behind, children being vaccinated, and a rebuilt bridge. The captions say the bridges 'destroyed by the Viet Cong' have been rebuilt and that the district chief meets villagers to settle their 'legitimate aspirations' on the spot. The tell is a before-and-after claim (destroyed by the Viet Cong, now rebuilt) given in words with only the rebuilt result pictured.

TAN-UYEN ON THE ROAD TO RECONSTRUCTION

The "corn pig" programme receives special attention from the local government: it issues good breeding stock and helps with livestock-raising equipment, in order to bring more income to the rural people.

The Major, district chief, regularly goes down to the hamlets to visit and meet the people closely, to settle on the spot their legitimate aspirations and to bring confidence to the people of remote areas.

Rural schoolchildren are also regularly visited by national health workers who care for their health, give medicine and vaccinate against diseases.

Nearly all the bridges and roads in the district, formerly destroyed by the Viet Cong,

have now been rebuilt, solid and wide, to help the rural people travel easily.
