# Family Week, December 1-7, 1952: Neighborly Families Make Wholesome Communities (English-language poster distributed in Asia)

A poster for Family Week, 1 to 7 December 1952. A man, woman, boy and girl stand on a rise looking over a drawn community of houses, a church, a school, roads and a bus, and the text says neighbourly families make wholesome communities. A banner invites viewers to join the nation in the celebration and says the nearest school will explain how. The tell is glittering-generalities ('wholesome communities'), with bandwagon in 'Join the Nation' and plain-folks in the ordinary family.
