"THE GOOD NEIGHBOUR"
OR twenty-three years the BBC has linked the peoples of the Commonwealth on Christmas Day for a special world-wide Christmas programme. Last Christmas, the theme of the programme on the Commonwealth link was ‘The Good Neighbour," and in response to many requests, he ed be replayed on the National Programmes at 9.30 a.m. on Sunday, pril 10. "This idea of the good neighbour is no longer a piece of wishful thinking," wrote the producer of the programme, Laurence Gilliam, in "London Calling" "but a positive and practical guide to living between man-and man in any one society and between nation and nation in worl society. Ten years after the end of the Second World War the world is poised uneasily, dangerously, on a point of decision: to find a way for individuals, for nations, for groups of nations, to co-exist as good neighbours, or to fece the consequences of the alternative. \ "The community of the Commonwealth in itself a family of nations, is a living demonstration of the ‘good neighbour’ idea as between independent states. Inside the different countries making up this community there are meny indivituals trying to increase the sum of human happiness. It is from their ranks that we are looking for the speakers and subjects for this year’s Christmas programmes. They make up the vast anonymous army of the men and women of goodwill," It is these men and women of goodwill, whether famous spotlemen like Roger Bannister or unknown scientists fighting hunger and malnutrition in Africa or India or Korea who will be heard in this repeat broadcast of "The Good Neighbour."
