T1;e purpose was to protect tl,e village aE,ai?st the ,.??-,1;;+~st winds and to hold
back the drifting sand. Four hurn9reci and eig},ty-twu r?en were engaged in this
tack.
In Fai-tao-an, iu tl.e tn:ru ch',: of Lai-~uan H:,!_,,, ti,e Forest Survey Com-
n,ittee decided that with _n *l:e next 2 dears a belt of willows :;houid be planted
along the banks of the vi'_Lage river. The v_ilagcrs, Lowe.er, su~'gested that
ti;e hills above should fist b?~ cede a ior?st reserve for a fex years to hold
back the water or the r;ewly planted willows ,could be cashed away, as had haF-
pened before. Tne better ^iau ut L..: vlllagerc was ad,pted.
