   Good afternoon. Milo Taggart with Town and Country on AFVN, June tenth. We will have a short report from Washington during the hour. The records today run from country roads to the blues, and from the long-playing shelf to the other side of a forty-five. Thank you for joining us.

    This is Town and Country. A good blues record does not ask whether the day has treated you well. It sets out a chair and lets you answer in your own time. We have another pair from the stack.

    Service spotSavings

    Let your tour in Vietnam count for something. The Uniformed Services Savings Deposit Program pays ten percent interest on authorized deposits. You may arrange a regular amount from your pay and go home with money in the bank. For eligibility, limits, and deposit instructions, see your unit finance office.

    Service spotDriving

    A vehicle does not care whether you are tired, angry, late, or thinking about tomorrow. It goes exactly where you point it. Keep your eyes on the road, keep both hands ready, and leave the radio controls alone until you stop. In rain, dust, convoy traffic, or blackout conditions, slow down before the road makes the decision for you. Drive as if the other fellow has not seen you. He may not have.

    Service spotBlack Market

    There are markets for practically everything in Vietnam, and one market will buy or sell almost anything: the black market. It deals in stolen and illegal goods. Military equipment, supplies, and military payment certificates do not belong there. Do not buy from the black market, and do not feed it by selling government property.
