DEFORE communism can
- be turned back in Indo-
China, the little man" will
have to be convinced that he
can expect to prosper under
that segment of native leader
ship which has the backing of
France and the rest of the
free world. The United States,
through its economic aid pro-
gram, Is trying to help the
French prove that a nom
Communist government would
be preferable to the Reds.
Ore Of the most effective
means of getting the point
across to the peasants Of
Indo- China has been the con-
Struction of model villages,
like the one pictured here
with. Farming methods and
health meaSures-living con-
ditionS generally-are print
tive, Of course, so the model
villages are set up to teach
the natives how to increase
their crops, and, possibly even
more important, how to stay
healthy. Villages are provided
with medical supplies and in
structorS who teach nurses
basic health measures which
are unknown among most of
the people.
The village where these
pictures were taken Is Tan
Phu Trung tRich New Central
village, which Is about 16
miles from Saigon, large port
city Of Southern Wet Nam.
Six hundred families, about
1000 Wet Namese peasant
people, live in Tan Phu
Trung's simple tile or
thatched-roof houses. Each
family has a garden plot
where vegetables and tobacco
are cultivated. Most families
also raise pigs and poultry.
The town already Is develop
ing a home industry, produc-
ton Of rice straw hats which
are sold in Saigon.

wells and pumps, a f1rst-aid
dispensary. and six tons of
fertilizer.
Only about Is per cent of
the village population Is liter
ate. This is a high average
for Wet Nam, but in Tan Phu
Trung the benefits of educa-
ton are being stressed. So
far, only two classroomS and
two teachers have been pro-
vided. and it is impossible to
send all the 1900 village chill
dren to school. One child Is
chosen from each family to
be educated. Glasses are held
in two shifts for the lucky
boys and girls. Adults attend
special evening classes. Plans
are now being made for much
broader mass education.
The Communist Wet Mini
also are moving into the model
village and education fields
among the Wet Namese peas
ants. It is up to communities
like Tan Phu Trung to prove
that they offer more oppor-
tunities. for a good life than
the Red villages do.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-02-07

The village Is governed by
a mayor with the help of
several elders.
All the families in Tan Phu
Trung are refugees from war
harassed regions. Similar
communities are being de-
veloped to accommodate other
harassed families. There is
a lesser danger of guerrilla
warfare breaking out even In
the Tan Phu Trung area, so
watch towers have been built
at the gates of the village.
Young men of the village share
24-hour guard duty. They are
equipped with small arms to
fend of any Wet Mini raiders
who may be operating in the
neighborhood.
The entire cost of the vii
lage was only about $500.
The Wet NameSe government
Clipped in $4,000, the United
States paid $2,250 and the rest
represents the value of the
work and materials contrib
uted by the population. Be-
sides the money, the United
States provided two sanitary

Rev. ]. c. Virgins Sunday sub
ject was Saved by the Way of
Gods Fire Escape.
There has no temptation taken
you but such as is common to
man: but God is faithful, who will
not suffer you to be tempted
above that we are able, but will
with the temptation also make a
way to escape, that we may be able
to bear 1t. / Cor. 1913.
Christians are often surround
ed by fiery trials and temptations
and the way of escape sometimes
seems blocked.
He said we will not escape
temptation. Christians go through
great tribulations. Paul was
tried, tempted, prosecuted and
suffered. Gods people will suffer
persecution, they will be tempted
and tried. but in the midst of such
trials, the Lord will give grace and
victory"
