# Valley Bandillo, USIS Tuguegarao, No. 6, reading centers and radio page (Tuguegarao, Cagayan, 1953)

A newsletter page reporting USIS reading centers in the Cagayan Valley (94 now served), a USIS radio given to a store owner in Palanan as a village listening post, a Fulbright call for applicants, a USIS school play, and a mayor's road proposal. A slogan at lower left reads 'Protect the Ballot and Save the Nation'. The tell is glittering-generalities in the slogan, and a mild bandwagon in the growing count of reading centers.
