KEEPING HIS BIBLE DRY


SAIGON -- This American serviceman in Vietnam's steaming jungles


keeps his Bible dry by strapping it to his camouflaged helmet with


an elastic band. He is PFC, A.C. Marnard of Macon, Ga., on patrol


near a rubber plantation about 40 miles north of Saigon. Many GI's


use similar "hatbands" to carry personal belongings since the extreme


heat causes perspiration to drench their uniforms and anything


carried in pockets.
