THE CHET BROWNS WRITE FROM LAOS Dear Friends at Home: We have beer, in Laos four mouths now. The time has passed so swiftly that it seems impossible that Christmas will be here in a few days. The weather certainly does not indicate that the holiday season is here. The nights are nice and cool now, but the days are real warm. We are now in the dry season and the dust is really thick and stifling. Since my last letter, I have again been reassigned. We are now living in Vientiane permanently and I direct the activities ofteam Mr and Mrs. J. B. Cox. TWENTY YEARS AGO < On Sunday.

something. The work in this area is being carried on very near to Pathet Lao (communist) held territory. There have been several incidents of land mines being placed in the road near Phone Savath. The latest mine blew up an army (Lao> truck about two weeks ago. In this way the Pathet Lao are indicating their displeasure with the good we are trying to do for the people. The Lao army now has special patrols out night and day to give maixmum protection to the Americans . working there.

Many of the people walked • for twenty days to reach : Moung Cha and arrived with i •practiealh no personal belongings. s These are the people who really ’ need help and who are so eagen to work in projects which we feel ; will helo them. Blaine and I hope to develop some land for gardens land to set up an irrigation 'system! I by diverting a nearby stream. Tells of Opium At the present time, many of , these people grow poppies for opium production. The collection .. of opium is quite interesting, i after the poppies bloom, and the i petals fall off, the bulb, which ' was inside, is split vertically in | several places. A juice emerges | from these slits very’ similar to the | milk in milk weed. This is allowed ! to remain on the bulb until it turns brown in color and then it is i i scraped off into a container. It is ' then cooked and throughly dried and opium is the end result. Needless to say. we hope to encourage them to grow vegetables on their land instead of opium. Moung Cha is located near enough to the fighting that occasionally the artillery can be heard in the distance. Moung Cha and Sam Thong can be reached only by air ip a type of plane called a Helio. This is' a plane very similar in appearance to' a Piper cub and is capable of landing and taking . off from a very small air strip. The air strip at Sam Thong is probably one of the world s worst with about three different elevations in it. It gives you the feeling of being on. a roller coaster during , landing and takeoff. The area around Sam Thong and Moung Cha is extremely mountainous and
