The Agent General shall be responsible to the General Assembly for the conduct (in accordance with the polities established by the General Assembly and having regard to such general policy recommendation as the United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea may make) of the programme of relief and rehabilitation in Korea, as that programme may be determined from time to time by the General Assembly.” (A/RES/410).The Agency also worked with the United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea (UNCURK AG-049) and the Advisory Committee. It ceased operating in 1959, and liquidation was completed in 1960.

By 1953, The UNKRA had allocated nearly $8,500,000 to rebuild South Korea's educational system. This year, if enough funds are forthcoming, the Agency plans to spend another $2,875,000 for the same purpose. Some 300,000 textbooks have been bought for the drive against illiteracy. More than 3,000 tons of paper have been imported to print another 38,000,000 textbooks. The Government of Korea and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) worked with UNKRA in a textbook printing plant near Seoul. This plant, which opened on 16 September, is expected to have produced about 15,000,000 textbooks by the end of the year. This picture shows the distribution of new books to a class of young Korean schoolchildren. Nov 1954. [Photograph 1548]

UNKRA sparks increased production in Korea. As a part of its effort to help increase coal production in Korea, the UNKRA has engaged the services of British mining consultants and technicians to work with Korean mine managers, engineers and technicians in the rehabilitation and modernization of the coal mines. The Macha-ri coal field, located some 150 miles southeast of Seoul in the mountainous region of Kwang-do, is one of the principal coal mining sites being worked at present. There, a narrow-gauge railway brings coal from three high'level mines - Bamchi Nos. 1 and 2 Solchi - down to the entrance of the main mine, Pangyo, in the valley below. From there, coal from all four mines is carried by aerial ropeway 7-1/2 miles overland to Yongwol power station. Here: the Korean Deputy Superintendent discusses the day's coal production of the Pangyo mines with his Chief Engineer. Photograph 1797.

As a result of a gift of $16,000 from the UN Women's Guild, UNKRA has erected four more buildings at the National Rehabilitation Centre at Tongnae, Korea, for a children's section which includes a kitchen, bath house, physiotherapy room and dormitories, all equipped with this money. (As of now, since the establishment of the Centre, UNKRA has allocated $612,780 to repair and expand the buildings, to install modern prosthetic equipment and to start vocational training courses; it also sent a team of rehabilitation experts). At present the Centre has 200 veterans and 56 civilian patients. A choice of 14 vocational training courses make it possible for everyone to find a trade suited to his abilities.) -- This picture, taken in the Centre's physiotherapy room, shows a Korean nurse helping two of her youngest patients, both polio victims, to crawl up a ramp. Such exercises, which straighten and strengthen the limbs, soon became popular games with the children as they grow stronger. Tongnae, Korea, Aug. 1956. [Photograph 4291]

To assist in meeting the increasing demands for newsprint, bank-notes, textbooks and utility paper, the UNKRA allocated $400,000 for the importation of American machine equipment, parts, supplies and construction materials, to be used in South Korea's paper industry. One of the principal receivers of this equipment and materials, the Samduk Paper Manufacturing Company at Anyang, in Kyonggi Province, has been rehabilitated to pre-war monthly production rate of 100 tons of finished products. This photograph shows part of the processing machinery at the Samduk plant. Scrap paper is gathered and sorted for quality, then reduced to pulp in huge machines provided by UNKRA. Six tons of scrap produce five tons of finished paper. Kyonggi province, 1954. [Photograph 1266]

The war rendered homeless millions of Koreans who, still now, live in temporary shacks and shelters in overcrowded cities. Because housing materials are scarce in Korea, the UNKRA introduced new building techniques in the country to erect rapidly and with a minimum of materials the thousands of new houses needed. Special machines were imported from South Africa by the Agency to turn out pressed blocks of earth stabilized with a small amount of cement. These blocks are used in the construction of small dwellings suitable for Korean families. This picture, taken in one of the new UNKRA-built houses in Seoul, shows members of a Korean family, the Wons, who moved in recently. Mrs. Won is pressing the family wash by the traditional Korean method of beating the clothing with clubs. Seoul, 1955. [Photograph UN DPI 47694]

Some 280,000 people live on Cheju-do, a rocky, volcanic island lying off the south coast of the Korean peninsula. Four power plants built on the island by the UNKRA were put in operation recently, revealing Cheju-do as a symbol of UN aid in the Pacific. Built at a cost of $550,000 and installed under the supervision of UNKRA consultant engineers, they are situated in Cheju City, Hallim, Mosul-po and Sogwi-po. For the first time these townships and surroundings areas have continuous light for five to six hours in the evening. Here is an interior view of the Cheju City plant, which is the largest of the four; it is equipped with three 250 kw diesel electric generators with the accompanying switch gear. The plants are operated by the South Korea Electric Company. July 1956. [Photograph 4076]

So smashed up were the Korean school buildings by the fighting that it has even become necessary to use abandoned streetcars as emergency classroom for refugee children (as shown here). About 64% of all classrooms were destroyed or badly damaged and 80% of the educational equipment was lost. By 1953, UNKRA had allocated nearly $8,500,000 to rebuild South Korea's educational system. About 3,000 new classrooms are in process of construction; another 1,000 have already been repaired. Some 300,000 textbooks have been bought for a drive against illiteracy. More than 3,000 tons of paper have been imported to print another 38,000,000 textbooks; and the Government and UNESCO are working with UNKRA on a textbook printing plant at Seoul which is due to open at the end of June 1954.

Mobile Clinics: Korea's medical services are inadequate by western standards, even at the best of times. Under wartime conditions, hospitals in the cities and towns overflowed and the farmer and villager had almost no recourse to a doctor. In November 1952 UNKRA formally commissioned two mobile clinics at United Nations Headquarters for use in Korea. Two others were to come from Japan. Specially designed, and built by Picker International corporation on Ford chassis, the vehicles were staffed by a doctor and a nurse and equipped with several hundred individual items of medical equipment for treatment and immunization.

Where there is war, there are widows. Mrs. Kim Dong Sook, widow of a Presbyterian missionary who died of Communist ill-treatment, organized other widows and raised funds by sewing. The Church Word Service, Relief Agency of United States National Council of Churches representing 30 Protestant denominations, and UNKRA supported her project after it got underway. The CWS agreed to buy the widows' output; UNKRA provided $10,000 towards construction of a settlement for 50 widows, whose religion prohibits remarriage, and their children in Pusan.

The fertilizer, purchased from seven countries, was earmarked for sale to the Korean farmers and the local currency thus obtained was to be placed in a fund to provide hwan for UNKRA's local constructions costs such as labor and material. These pictures were taken April 22, 1953, when the Chinese Nationalist ship SS. Eddie arrived in Pusan with 2,300 tons of calcium cyanimide from Japan.

Harbor Dredge: Korea's shipping has been hampered since early in the war by heavily-silted harbors which reduced the country's ability to receive military and aid goods. Two of her three dredges were sunk and a third was badly damaged. UNKRA undertook a harbor-dredging program which included the building of a dredge in Honolulu at a cost of more than $1,000,000, the hydrographic survey of Kunsan and other harbors, and the provision of facilities for training Korean dredging crews and equipment for repair of other dredges. The dredge Chin Hae Man arrived in Kunsan in December of 1953, and was officially turned over to the government of the Republic of Korea on 14 January,1954.

Earth block Housing: UNKRA has brought a new approach to building houses in Korea which is being used in its combined 1953-1954 program. Landcrete machines for making rammed-earth blocks were imported from South Africa, Korean architects designed an urban and a rural dwelling, and UNKRA went into production of inexpensive homes. The hand-operated machines could be worked by the Korean family, using a mixture of one part cement to 15 parts of earth from the building site. Total cost of the house was about $750, of which only $380 went for imported materials.

Irrigation and Land Reclamation: Sixty percent of South Korea's people are farmers; most of the remainder make their living from handling agricultural products. Farm produce, which provides 55 percent of the national income, depends to a great extent on the storage of off-season rainfall for use in the June-August growing season. Many of the extensive irrigation installations used for years by the Koreans were damaged or destroyed in the fighting. UNKRA under its Financial Year 1953 program allocated $1,500,000 for the import of cement, steel, dynamite, core-boring machinery, grouting pumps and bulldozers for use in irrigation. In FY 1954 the UNKRA program provided for an expenditure of $4,400,000 for the repair of damaged facilities and the extension of irrigation systems. These photos show one of UNKRA's projects -- the Song Pa Pumping Station.

The Save the Children Fund is a British voluntary agency, which, since its beginning in 1919, has founded the International Union for Child Welfare and watched it grow to its present state of 59 member societies in 36 countries. SCF is financed by citizens of the Commonwealth countries. Its operations in Korea were stimulated when, in 1953, UNKRA made available $5,000 to help Dr. J. N. Burgess of Australia establish and equip a Health Center in disease-ridden Pusan. The Health Center has treated as many as 3,950 cases in a single month, besides providing 870 additional injections and dressings.

Tongnae Rehabilitation Centre: There are an estimated 15,000 amputees in South Korea and countless others who have serious physical disabilities which prevent them from leading normal lives. Korea can neither afford this wastage of manpower nor the burden of supporting these unfortunates. To help alleviate this desperate situation and also to give South Korea assistance in starting this type of rehabilitation, UNKRA in conjunction with the ROK Ministry of Social Affairs and the American Korean Foundation has opened a National Rehabilitation Center at Tongnae near Pusan. The centre which UNKRA has equipped at a cost of $283,000 includes rooms for remedial treatment, living quarters for the patients and a workshop for making protheses. Training the patients in trades suited to their capabilities is an important part of the rehabilitation work and the centre already has in operation electrical, drafting, carpentry and barber shops. Courses are also being given in tailoring and sewing so that at the end of their treatment the amputees will be able to earn their own livelihood. At first intended mainly for war veterans, the plans have been made for a children's ward to be built with $24,000 donated in UNESCO Gift Coupons by the United Women's Guild.

The war rendered homeless millions of Koreans who, still now, live in temporary shacks and shelters in overcrowded cities. Because housing materials are scarce in Korea, the U.N. Korean Reconstruction Agency introduced new building techniques in the country to erect rapidly and with a minimum of materials the thousands of new houses needed. Special machines were imported from South Africa by the Agency to turn out pressed blocks of earth stabilized with a small amount of cement. These blocks, with the necessary supplies of lumber, nails, glass and roofing materials, are used in the construction of small dwellings suitable for Korean families. Here is an aerial view of an UNKRA housing project now under construction near Seoul. When completed this project will include 2,500 units, each of four rooms and a kitchen.

Widows' Children: One of Korea's problems is the plight of widows, many of whom are completely destitute. UNKRA has set up and equipped workshops where widows are trained to sew on UNKRA's imported sewing machines. The widows sell their produce on the open market. While they work, their young children are watched and fed in establishments set up by UNKRA for this purpose. Here children are having a meal in one of these establishments.

Fishing Industry: Next to agriculture, the fishing industry is the biggest source of food for the Republic of Korea. The fighting hit the industry very hard indeed. Much fishing gear and about a tenth of the fishing fleet were lost. More fishing craft and marine engines are therefore urgently needed. So are nets, ropes, other gear, and materials for making ice to preserve the fish. Last year UNKRA budgeted $1,900,000 for the industry. Its projects included rebuilding the wholesale fish markets at Seoul and Inchon and construction of twenty-three fishing vessels. Three complete cannery units have also been imported-to double the capacity of the cannery industry. This photo taken in Pusan shows newly constructed shops for the fishing fleet.

Irrigation at Kyongnam: UNKRA imported materials and technical assistance are going into a large irrigation project at Kyongnam near Ansong in Kyonggi-Do Province. The whole valley is being blocked off by a clay-core earth dam in which 3/4 of a million tons of earth will be used. The dam will be more than 600 feet long and 60 feet high. It will form a large lake from which water will be let down into the irrigation canals and ditches by means of a reinforced concrete water tower and tunnel at the south end. A concrete spillway is being constructed at the north end of the dam to take care of the overflow during flood conditions. Five thousand acres of rice paddy land will be irrigated which will probably double the rice yield. UNKRA has supplied the cement, reinforcing steel and dynamite required in the construction and an UNKRA irrigation engineer has worked closely with the engineers of the Korean Irrigation Union in planning and executing the project.

Fishing: Once the sixth largest fishing nation in the world, Korea found herself at the end of the war with her fishing fleet in such a state of disrepair that only a few boats were fit to go to sea. Dependent on fish products for food, fertilizer and exports, this was a disastrous blow both to the health of the Korean people and to the Korean economy. In an effort to assist the fishing industry to re-establish itself, UNKRA has allocated $4,432,000 for the purchase of supplies and equipment to build new boats and to rehabilitate ice plants, canneries and fish markets. However, building new boats takes time and the initial step was to get the old fishing fleet in action.

Mineral Assay Laboratory: The Republic of Korea has considerable mineral resources. There are rich deposits of gold, graphite and tungsten, as well as of coal; and there is enough lead, copper, bismuth and manganese to merit attention. There seems to be a reasonable prospect of developing mineral exports within a few years to the value of $40 million or $50 million a year. But the full extent of the country's mineral wealth has yet to be measured. The United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) has, therefore, built a mineral assay laboratory with the most modern equipment at Taejon, to test ore samples to assess the commercial value of the mines now in existence and made a proper evaluation of the new finds. UNKRA provided $160,000 for this project, which was set up in agreement with the Government and the UN Command.

Encounter in Korea: In June, 1953, the UNKRA Educational Film Unit completed a two-reel motion picture entitled Encounter in Korea. The story is that of a U.S. army private, who hiding from a sniper, meets an elderly Korean and a boy whose main concern, despite the proximate gunfire, is that their tree nursery shall not perish. The war, the old man says, has resulted in over-cutting of the forests by his countrymen for fuel and housing, and the stand must be replenished if the essential link between man and earth is to be maintained. The boy is a refugee who has been taken in by the old man, and who, after the old man's death by a sniper's bullet, simply and unhesitatingly carries on his work.

Lee Sing Man, 19 when he played the boy in the film, is an exceptionally widely-travelled Korean. Born in Japan when his father was taken there by the Japanese to a technical high school, he left there at the age of five when his family moved to Peiping, China. In 1944 the family--father, mother, Sing man, and his younger brother and three sisters--moved back to Seoul. During the war their little book shop was looted and their livelihood destroyed.

Lee Sing Man. When war struck, Sing Man had to leave school. In December, 1951, he went to work as a houseboy in the American Embassy at Seoul. Since them he has learned much English. He became houseboy to the UNKRA Film Unit after a few months, picked up some technical knowledge, and graduated to grips boy. Like most young Koreans Sing Man has a burning desire for education. He carries a book in his pocket at all times, and reads it in snatches whenever he is free. His dream is to attend the University of Seoul. In February, 1953, Sing Man learned that two UN workers would stake him to a year's education-one long step toward his dream of being a physicist, toward understanding how things happen.

Uprooted Universities: When the fighting broke out, Seoul was the University center of Korea. When Seoul was threatened, these institutions picked up everything that could be carried and moved to Pusan. In the main, university buildings there are wretched and student housing is worse. But the Koreans' drive for higher education keeps these institutions filled with eager young people looking toward the day when their land will once again be free. These pictures were taken by Dr. R. H. Edwin Espy, who are making a survey of Korean education for the World Student Service Fund. A far cry from the Ivy-hung edifices common to higher education in the United States, these makeshift buildings are classrooms for students attending the Seoul National University Normal School and Intermediate Training College at Pusan.

Harbor Inspection: Kunsan, a once bustling harbor on the west coast of South Korea, is a vital entry point for goods imported by UNKRA for the rehabilitation of Korea. Neglect and a war reduced its efficiency by about one-half. Mr. Kingsley and other members of UNKRA and UNCACK visited the port in September,1952, while on an inspection tour of the area. In April,1953, $1,250,000 was allocated for the purchase of a dredge and other equipment and the operation of cleaning out the silt-ridden harbor. Mr. Kingsley visiting Mrs. O.S.

Kunsan Harbor Dredge: To clear silt from clogged Korean harbors and restore their usefulness as ports, UNKRA in FY 1953 commissioned construction of a harbor dredge. Built by the Hawaiian Dredging Company in Honolulu, the dredge was towed to Kunsan harbor to begin operations in the fall of 1953. It and other dredging equipment was turned over to the ROK Government. Photo was provided by KTAM, engineers in charge of the project.

Tongnae Hospital Rehabilitation Center: In Korea, where amputation carries with it a social stigma, there are at least 15,000 amputees. Medical services are in their infancy, and make no provision for the treatment of such cases. Under its 1953 program, UNKRA allocated $35,500 for the establishment, in co-operation with the Ministry of Social Affairs and the American-Korean Foundation, of a treatment center at Tongnae, near Pusan. In 1954, UNKRA allocated another $190,000 for the development and extension of this project. The Center will be housed in buildings constructed and equipped by UNKRA, and staffed with ROK and A-KF personnel. Its aim is to rehabilitate amputees through physical reconditioning, provision of limbs and training in their use, and schooling in skills leading toward employment.

Community Development Employment at Ka Soo Ri: The villagers in Ka Soo Ri, like most in Korea, are well aware of the needs of their little area. But after years of oppression and misery, and with the young men of the village swallowed up by the war, they are at a loss for leadership. UNKRA's role in CDE is to provide the stimulus and turn the enthusiasm into channels which will be most beneficial to the villagers. Ka Soo Ri has already built a water conservation point which serves 60 acres of paddy fields. In the winter of 1953-4, the villagers invested 500 otherwise-fruitless man-hours in the project. UNKRA provided a token bonus of 25 cents per man per day, enough to buy the extra daily meal required by a laboring man. The names of the participants were also entered on an honor roll in the village. Once such a project is completed, news of it spread throughout the area, and other villages approach UNKRA for suggestions and advice.

Community Development Employment & Co-ordinated Development Project. In Korea, where so much needs to be done, one of the chief problems is idle manpower. A large percentage of the labour force is unemployed or works only seasonally on the farms. Each village has labour projects which would bring direct benefit to the villagers themselves -- a road or bridge to repair, an irrigation trench to dig. UNKRA has devised a scheme of community development employment, whereby the villagers suggest a project which will benefit them, UNKRA and the ROK Government give encouragement and technical advice, and UNKRA provides a token daily payment as an honorary bonus for each day's work. By September of 1954, 286 projects had been initiated, of which almost 200 had been completed through the contribution of 300,00 man-hours. More than 50,000 families benefited from the results.

Housing at Pusan. Overcrowded and ravaged by fire, Pusan suffers possibly the most acute housing shortage in Korea. Thousands upon thousands of refugees still clog its teaming streets and twisted alleys, and row upon row of sordid shacks jostle each other in a crazy-quilt of flattened beer cans, musty cardboard and scrap lumber. High on a hillside to the north of the port a new design of living is taking shape. Rows of neat little homes, built from the earth itself, are springing up amid the cheerful hammering of the carpenters and the clatter of tile-layers. UNKRA, the Armed Forces Aid for Korea (AFAK) program and the Korean Army are co-operating in a massive housing program. UNKRA-purchased Landcrete machines turn out durable and weatherproof earth blocks for all three programs, and UNKRA plans, drafted by Korean architects, are used. UNKRA itself had, by the fall of 1954, completed 200 units and began work on a third 100 at this site - one portion of the 2,000-unit program the Agency plans in the Pusan area.

Irrigation: Korea, a land where soft, semi-barren hills provide rapid run-off for rain-fall and where the rainy season does not coincide with the time of moisture need, has for centuries had an immense and intricate system of irrigation. But war damage and neglect have ruined many installations. And the rapidly increasing population demands that more and more land be placed under cultivation. UNKRA has therefore launched an extensive program of repair and construction of irrigation facilities. Materials valued at $1,460,000 were imported under the FY 1954 program, and further imports worth $480,000 are programmed for FY 1954.

Warehouses at Kunsan: Kunsan one of Korea's most important ports, is so silted that liberty ships must unload half their cargos outside the harbor before coming in to the docks. Cargoes of aid goods and other imports are loaded onto lighters, transferred to oxcarts or A-frames, loaded into box cars or taken to remote warehouses, and then handled in the reverse manner for rail shipment out of the port. Three large warehouses, built by the Japanese when they were developing the port, were bombed to rubble in the fighting. As part of its program aimed at rehabilitating the port area, UNKRA undertook the reconstruction of warehouses, which lie between the docks and the railroad tracks, enabling goods to be loaded directly into the warehouse from the docks, and thence directly onto trains running on tracks behind the buildings. On 22 October 1954, a ceremony was held marking completion of the heavy framing of the buildings. All that remained to be done was to add galvanized siding and roofing sheets.

Fishboat Construction and Aid to Fisheries: As part of its program in aid of the Korean fishing industry, UNKRA has provided fishnets, ice-making machinery, canning equipment, and items of fishing gear. It has also loaned money to small fishermen so that they can build boats, both of Korean and European design, and so they can improve the quality of their equipment. In October 1954 the first fishing boat built under the UNKRA loan fund was launched at Kunsan, on the southwest coast.

Taejon Assay Laboratory: The Republic of Korea has considerable mineral resources. There are rich deposits of gold, graphite and tungsten, as well as of coal; and there enough lead, copper, bismuth and manganese to merit attention. There seems to be a reasonable prospect of developing mineral exports within a few years to the value of $40 or $50 million a year. But the full extend of the country's mineral wealth has yet to be measured. The U.N. Korean reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) has, therefore, built a mineral assay laboratory with the most modern equipment at Taejon, to test ore samples to assess the commercial value of the mines now in existence and make a proper evaluation of the new finds. UNKRA provided $160,000 for this project, which was set up in agreement with the Government of the Republic of Korea.

The United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency programme of classroom construction and repair budgeted at $1.8 million in 1953, was continued into 1954 with an allocation of $1 million. On 10 December 1954 the first large school in the Seoul area completed with UNKRA funds was officially opened by Kim Tai Sun, Mayor of the Special City of Seoul. A citation for meritorious service was given by him to Brian J. Edwards of the Division of Operations.

Housing at Tongnae: Besides being overcrowded with refugees, Pusan has been the victim of a series of disastrous fires which have further reduced available housing. Thousands of victims still are living in tents provided by the army; many more shelter in squalid huts or unused coal sheds along the railroad tracks. A Pusan Housing Authority has been set up by the ROK Government, and UNKRA was asked to assist it in providing new homes for at least a few of the homeless. Sites were laid out at Tongnae and Yong-do, with road-building machinery contributed by AFAK (Armed Forces Aid to Korea) and labor contributed by the ROK Army. UKRA allocated $955,000 under its 1954 program to build 2,000 units at the two sites. By October of 1954 some 50 units had been completed at each site; work was under way on another 50. This program was in addition to the Agency's $2.4 million housing program funded in 1953 and still being pursued in 1954.

Merchant Marine Academy, Pusan: Largely dependent on the sea for both food and commerce, South Korea has always laid great stress on the maintenance of her Merchant Marine. The withdrawal of the Japanese and the disasters of war denuded her of both vessels and trained seamen. To help re-establish the Merchant Marine, UNKRA allocated $350,000 to build and equip an Academy capable of accommodating 400 students who are at the moment being taught their trade in temporary buildings in Pusan. The Academy, which overlooks a rocky bay at Yong-do Pusan, is nearing completion. It consists of 18 buildings including lecture rooms, dormitories, a mess hall, bath house, laboratory, storehouses and staff accommodation. A Marine science officer, Captain Alexander Roth, has been appointed by UNKRA to supervise the construction of the Academy and to assist in planning the curricula.

Taegu Hospital: War disrupted the medical services of Korea. Hospitals were bombed, looted and abandoned. Medical training was suspended. As a result there are only a limited number of qualified doctors and nurses. Under the aid programme for 1953, the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency rehabilitated Taegu Medical College and Hospital, rebuilt some of the damaged buildings, and supplied modern equipment at a cost of $235,000. Subsidiary to this, UNKRA appealed to the Swiss Federal Council to provide a Medical Mission to give the necessary technical advice for the restoration of the teaching facilities.

Korean Women War Sufferers' Co-Operative Institute, Puan: The desperate plight of Korea's widows, many of whom are completely destitute, is on of this war-denuded country's most urgent problems. Forbidden by custom to remarry and with their homes broken up, these women are completely dependent on the charity of either their relatives or friends for their livelihood. To help them to become self-supporting and to give them a more assured future, the Korean Church World Service and the United Church of Canada have opened a workshop, where by knitting and sewing the widows can earn a living wage. UNKRA also donated some $5,600 to assist in the rehabilitation of the buildings chosen for the project. Under the direction of Mrs. Kim Kyong Min, the Widows' Institute is making continuous progress and it is hoped that the day is not too far distant when it will be completely independent of outside aid.

Of the boats that remained few were seaworthy enough to venture beyond the bays and inlets of the coastline. Many were left without adequate fishing gear of any kind. To assist in the recovery of the fishing industry so vital to the welfare and economy of the country, UNKRA initiated a boat building programme which included the construction of ten 77.5-ton trawlers at the Cheoy Lee Shipyard, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

“Land from the sea.” A land reclamation program in Korea aimed at converting some 50 bays on the west coast of the country into rich rice lands within the next 10 years is being carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture with the assistance of the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA). The bay at Tae Chon, similar to many others on the west coast, was particularly suitable for reclamation. It swept in a wide semi-circle ending in the two headlands jutting out to sea. At low tide, the bay dried out into mudflats. By building a sea wall between the headlands, a distance of nearly four miles, it was possible to cut off the entire area. To build an adequate dike, an estimated 352,600 cubic meters of earth fill were required, together with the total stone facing of some 44,240 square meters.
