Campers Set Up for Flood Victims in Marianna
HUD has 50 travel trailers in Marianna Arkansas for flood victims but only four in use as residents prefer to return home as waters recede. HUD reviews 49 applicants for eligibility and waits on site preparation and water level changes. A local paper criticized the federal response as slow. Separately, Texas A and M reports state marriage disruption rates at decade’s start.

Peace eludes Vietnamese vendor living in Saigon slum
Tran Thanh Vui, 51, a snack vendor and part time carpenter, waits for peace promised by the Paris accords. Four months into a cease-fire he remains in a Saigon shanty with his wife and five children, earning little from a corner food stand and a few carpentry jobs. His dream to return to Dong Yen is fading as rice fields near the Gulf of Siam stay in Viet Cong territory and raids continue. He has barely kept the shanty paid and cannot afford medical care as sores plague his children. He accepts a life of precarious poverty, believing settlement is impossible.
