BETTER THIS WAY--A Vietnamese boy undergoing treatment for a fractured leg at the Hoa Khanh Children's Hosiptal, near Da Nang, Vietnam, has a good time 'eating' his soft drink with a plastic spoon. He is one of 120 young in-patients receiving free medical care at this modern hospital. It is supported and administered by contributions from personnel of Marine Force Logistic Command. The hospital will soon come under the co-sponsorship of the World Relief Commission, Long Island City, N.Y., which will eventually assume complete control of the facility.
