Another in the Encyclopaedia Brittanica series on family life, this time focusing on a rather broad definition of neighbors, aimed at first or second graders. Neighbors, in this filmstrip, is used interchangibly with community, talking about not only how neighbor sharing things, like the stereotypical borrowing of eggs, but larger community focus, such as paying taxes to support fire protection or participating in school activities.

The previous reviewer has become immune to images like these. Many people can no longer conceive of sharing anything with their neighbors. This film harks back to a time when people were becoming aware of reduced neighborliness. When I was growing up, Mayday celebrations were a pagan-influenced day of Morris dancing, songs and prayer. No communist connotations at all. To associate sharing with communism is the sign of a mind deeply affected by McCarthyist nonsense.
