improvement. The final two movies are docu-
mentary in type. "Semester of

cation scene at several major uni-
versities and "These Four Cozy

Reception Honors Chanters
After Home Concert Tour
McMurry College Chanters
were honored at a reception last
night following their annual home

tour the 50-member choir traveled
1503 miles visiting in schools and

July when it soars above the cen-
tury mark regularly.
Since moving here in October
the weather has not ever gone
above 95 and the evenings are a
pleasant 75. (Like Abilene in the
summer). There seem to be no
desiduous trees down here just
banana groves and palm trees. Of
course in the delta there is no
jungle; it is too low and swampy.
But the entire region is reputed
to be the richest in the world
called "the breadbasket of Asia."
In fact if these people were
permitted to plant and grow rice
they could sow and reap not two
complete harvests but FOUR in
one year enough to feed the
population of all of Asia! Quite
remarkable in itself and one of
the reasons why the VC and North
VN want this Delta and want it
badly.
The entire IV CTV (combat
tactical zone) Mekong Delta Is
the largest of the four Corps areas.
Total area in Viet Nam is almost
66000 square miles and the IV
Corps area is almost 20000 square
miles. In this area arc some
36000 American and Free World
forces.
To these people I am supposed
to furnish entertainment; and
when that is not fed to me I- am
supposed to stimulate interest so
that the units can themselves sup-
ply their own entertainment.
Quite a job! But I am having a
great time trying! Fortunately
I did not follow anyone since I
am the first entertainment direc-
tor to be assigned to IV Corps.
Since I am breaking in new
anything I do is an improvement!
So I am feeling my own way
profiting by mistakes made and
setting up plans that will be fol-
lowed after I leave.
There is a sense of accomplish-
ment and nprrenation for my
endeavors down here. More so
than I have ever experienced
elsewhere. It is truly a most re-
warding and enriching experience.
But this must be all. I have a lot
to do and better get on with it.
Greet my friends at the 490th and
invite them to drop me a line
when they have time.
Warmest personal greetings
Paul.

today at the noon Kiwanis Club
