Mar. 22 Refuge Cooperative Fishing Team: Most fishefolk wear the Chinese-style hat to protect the held from the sun. One girl scorjs this and prefers to pull at the net without this restriction. Sometimes the hauling in of the large net takes several hours, and at the end only a few fish are caught to be shared between the many. Hours of back-Breaking work for a few shillings worth of fish Indochina's war refugees scrape a living by cooperative nets. Sad relic of the bitter struggle between communist and anti-communists in French Indochina today are the refugees who fled south of the 17th parallel at the Peace, rather than live under communist rule. Thousands of the refugees have found some kind of work; thousands still live on a Colombo Plan dole'. Others, independent and more proud, have banded themselves into groups which have bought or made huge fishing nets from aid funds, and operate them cooperatively on the coastline around Cap St. Jacques 70miles from Saigon - an area once popular with the French as a holiday resort. The fishing is poor, and enormous labour is needed even to reap a small reward. Everyone who helps pull the nets gets an equal share of the catch, either to sell or eat. Average earning amount to a few shillings. Some fishermen prefer working in pairs or parties of four, using smaller nets but getting a larger share of proceeds. Large nets are rowed out into the bay. The smaller ones are used only closeinshore. The smaller nets are often shared by several groups. While one pair sells, the other fishes; and than they change over roles. In spite of their labours, the refugees, are happy people. They retain a measure of independence and some of their pride this, to their race, is a great deal
