SUMMERSIDE BUKEAU | OF THE GUARDIAN The individual no longer is considered as someone apart; independent and self-relient, He is a member of a community and he. is entitled to services provided by. government from the collective wealth of the country. ~ These are the words of Hon. Allan J. MacEachen, minister of national health and welfare who addressed the Social Prob- Aems Seminar here last night. Mr. MacEachen pointed out that social welfare as a con- cept, and in fact, has changed remarkably in response to mod- ern needs. In the past, the term tended to mean a minimum amount of assistance, custody or protection for those exceptional

the nation’s economic system. The minister reminded - his listeners that, until recent times, the idea that work. was neces- sary and good and that the in-

did recognize that there were certain groups of classes who could never provide for them- selves. As a result meagre bene- fits were provided to groups such as widows with dependent children and the blind. ECONOMY

Mr. _MacEachen ~ explained | that the country’s economy has developed into a much. more complex and diverse structure. As a result, new concepts and a different appreciation of the individual, his family, and their relationship to society have evolved.

The speaker stressed . that many families are trapped by their environment and cannot see any way out. They may be dependent on public assistance, see no Jikelihood of steady em- ploymentbecause they have no skill-or-job- opportunities and the problem is compounded: by a crushing burden of debt and by
