Apples for fish: kinship days at Mahu harbour, 1937
Õunad kala vastu: hõimupäevad Mahu sadamas, 1937
For generations, farmers on the Viru coast traded with fishermen from the Finnish islands of the Gulf of Finland. On 3 October 1937 this old barter was celebrated as Estonian–Finnish kinship days at the small harbour of Mahu. The two-minute newsreel scene shows food being carried from the shore to the boats and apples being swapped for dried fish. The same reel continues in Tallinn with new road graders made by the Ilmarine works and with children playing in the Kadriorg children's park.

Põlvest põlve kauplesid Virumaa ranniku põllumehed Soome lahe saarte kaluritega. 3. oktoobril 1937 tähistati seda vana vahetuskaubandust Mahu väikeses sadamas Eesti-Soome hõimupäevadena. Kaheminutises kroonikastseenis kantakse toitu rannast laevadele ja vahetatakse õunu tohukala vastu. Sama lint jätkab Tallinnas tehase „Ilmarine“ valmistatud uute teehöövlitega ja lastega Kadrioru lastepargis.
