Benge Informs Club
Of Vietnam Progress
Dedicated service to the Viet
namese people will continue to
call Mike Benfie back to his
work centered in Darlak Prov
ince aa loner as he is needed.
This was made apparent in a
most interestinR and informa
tive talk to members of the Sor
optimist club by the Ruest
speaker at its luncheon meet
ing Thursday noon, November
16.
Bence, introduced by his sis
ter, Mrs. Matt (Joan) Hughes,
broURht his listeners up to date
on the accomplishments and in
ternal changes which he has
seen in Vietnam since his last
visit before the club two years
ago.
"Our program (through Agen
cy of International Develop
ment) is making excellent prog
ress," he said, "but it is a long
range program and will need
10 to 20 years to fully develop
it." He spoke of many prob
lems which must be overcome,
but the main one is the general
lack of education. "The only
real and lasting way to devel
op the future is to educate and
gain the confidence of the young
people," he said.
Bonge administers over the
Darlak Province, largest in Viet
nam, equal in size to an aver
age state, with estimated pop
ulation of 202,000 persons. He
Miss Coppock Feted
At Bridal Shower
On Holiday Morning
Miss Cathy Coppock of Port
land was greeted on Thanksgiv
ing morning with a brunch and
bridal shower given in her hon
or at the home of Mrs. Paul
Heinrichs, with Mrs. Snoda
Blake as co-hostess.
Guests for the morning buf
fet were served scrambled eggs,
pastries, juice and coffee at ta
bles decorated in the Christmas
theme of white with red and
green, the colors Miss Coppock
has chosen for her December 15
wedding to Dale Van Blokland,
son of Mr and Mrs. Wilbur Van
Blokland of Heppner.
Each guest attending was giv
en a red and green corsage as
a gift from the hostesses.
Those present were Shannon
Mahoney, Karen McCurdy, Ann
and Jennifer Brindle, Pat Van
Winkle and Kim Okano of Sa
lem, Mrs Kenneth Wright, Ter
ryl Greenup, Marilyn Scolese of
Portland, and Mrs Wilbur Van
Blokland, mother of the groom
elect. Assisting Miss Coppock with
her gifts was Paula Kay, small
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Heinrichs.
helps in organizing Rural De
velopment teams of about 60
men, working in the hamlets for
an average of six months time,
to secure them. After a census,
they "root out" the hard core
Vietcong, elect their governing
body, and build up their own
leadership within the hamlet,
through improving education,
health, social welfare and agri
culture, tying in all areas of de
velopment which are not involv
ed in actual war. Their security
is supported by the military.
The average hamlet teacher
has had only an equivalent to
a 5th grade education level, ana
progress is being made in con
solidating the schools among
the hamlets. The country is
really in a "pioneering" stage,
much the same as was our own
country before it was developed.
There has been excellent prog
ress made In the last two years,
but there is still a long way
to go.
Our main obiectlve is "want-
ine to eive them a freedom of
choice, which they would never
have if the cancerous growtn oi
Communism was allowed to
spread. We are now paying a
high premium on this insurance
policy," he emphasized in his
closing remarks.
Benge left by plane on Sun
day, November 19, for Wash
ington, D. C. from where he re
turned to Vietnam. He expects
to be home again on leave in
April of next year.
He also spoke to several school
groups during his short visit
here with his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Terrel Benge in lone, and
with other relatives.
Members of the Soroptimist
club are making plans for a
holiday food sale, planned for
Saturday, December 16, to be
held at Central Market.
