Ommml** Dear Three P’s: At some of our recent busi ness luncheons tßx'e has been a great deal of discussion us to she -welfare" state. Some of the arguments have been het and heavy; some claim 'that we are on uie way to socialism and communism; some claim that it is the only way that an indi vidual in this fast moving world can be taken care of in certain situations. It is argued that it is the most important current po litical issue outside of defense. What is your comment? —Latentia. Dear Latentia: You are correct that the "wel fare state” is, the subject of a great deal of discussion and de bate. There is a great deal to! be said in favor of some of the benefits under so-called welfare plans and a great deal to be criticized as illogical, uneconomic and poorly thought out. The welfare state is nothing new; it was tried in ancient civilizations as well as in modern states. In modern times we could go hack to Rousseau and his theory and philosophy in his book “The Social Contract, or we could consider Verblen and his ideas in the U. S. In the modern Jimes the welfare concept has been slowly developing over the last fifty or seventy-five years and more or less culminating in the Labor Party’s program in Jpreat Britain providing for the care of the individual from the Jwomh to the tomb. Let us briefly consider some pf the background which has jfeiven rise to the need of some jlvell developed welfare pro grams. In our earlier society the "iclan and the tribe were the cen ter of communal life and with in these the individual was se cure and was looktd after in limes of stress. As society be- 1 pame more fixed in an agricul tural economy the family became jlhe unit with perhaps the aid j>f the overlord. In this econo- Tny the family of several genera tions usually stuck together to help other members of the fami ly. In these economies life was ,'itough and there was no plush ■Ju.id viie journeyman broke from jjthe family and hospices develop ted and churches were the cen ters for helping the needy. Pop 4ulation grew as well as indus try and life was becoming more and the indigent and. needy became dependent on the {local, churches, poor houses and ■{neighbors. Society became more -and more industrialized and with dhe advent of steam and power ifor industry the mass of people 'were excessively exploited, with 'k;n« hours of labor, ooor pay ,and worse living conditions. In the change-over from hand man ufacture to power th, re was a pra jt deal of unemployment and great distress leading :o riots in England and demands far re I+riirm investment services APPRAISALS ...QUOTATIONS ...

William S.Privott 1 form. Out of this came the for mation of societies for <the al , lev.acton of the condition of the poor. The Salvation Army was one of the societies formed for .mis puipuse and stitl exists to j oay. tne churches played a 1 g«_‘i part and if it woe not for ■ these efforts ‘there could have i been a revolution in England at I uie time. This pondit.cn led to Uie formation of various political | societies with what might be called socialistic ideas; it was ialso a time ip which the labor movement was started in a hap hazard way. Literature also participated as illustrated in the , books of Charles Dickens who was g great social refajmer, and George B. Shaw was one of the founders of the Fabian Socialist Society. Factories increased, industry became more and more efficient, women became an important ele ment in factory employment as well as children. Man was di vorced from the soil and last his native sense us security as he had no place to turn in the event of a shut down of the factory or a general depression. The indi vidual was losing more and more of his independence and became a dependent upon.indus -1 try for his existence. This is continuing at an accelerated rate with the invention of more and mere machines to take over the work of skilled craftsmen and clerical labor. The old-fashioned bookkeeper has passed out of the picture and in his place you have a machine and the women are taking the place in operat ing the machines necessary to feed the automatic bookkeeping machines. The demand for com mon and unskilled labor is de creasing; it is difficult for a man without a definite skill or profession to find work of a permanent nature: women are replacing men and often both husband and wife are employed in order to make ends meet. Man is looking for security and it is interesting to note that a great many young men are join ing the military to remain in service for twenty years and re tire at half pay. This situation has given rise to a great many social problems be yond the ability of the individ ual, willing and anxious to work, to solve. This situation also has been the reason for the development ot‘ welfare plans >iu h as unemployment relief, so cialized medicine and subsidized housing. From a medical point cf view the economic situation, the uncertainties of employment and without any certainty of the future has given rise to the in crease in alcoholics, neurotics and mental cases: a basic fear of the future. The great weakness in all of these plans is that the govern ment has to be the focal point j of administration. This leads to, the building up of a bureaucracy, excessive costs of collecting the tax money and its administra tion. If a more efficient way were devised there could be little objections to some of the wel fare"jjlamr-but stieh- plans be come political footballs and the clever and wily are the real beneficiaries of all such plans while the real needy shy away from them. The economic side of the pic ture requires attention. If as proposed the social security pro gram is enlarged to care for the medical needs of the elderly thtre will be a further deduc- raz CHOwiN MMIA BDEHTOH, HOST* CAROLINA, THTTSRDATr.

Holding her band is her husband, Donald. The fire was caused by youngsters playing with matches. tion from the workers’ payroll. The problem is how much can present generations stand in the way of taxation to pay for these programs. The government is already in debt to $290 bil lion and future commitments amount to SBOO billion which the coming generations will have to pay. It is a political ques tion, but the welfare state is roll ing on at great momentum and will be a firey issue in the com ing election. Dear Three P’s: My husband and I belong to a local social group which ar ranges to have parties every riow and then. There is one wo man when such a pai'ty is broached immediately takes charge and appoints certain peo ple to do the work. She never does anything but criticize. We are getting tired of it although we enjoy her membership. What can we do in a situation like this? —Aliri'a. Dear Alicia: In all groups you will find such people who like to arrange everything and appoint people to work out the details while they sit on the sidelines and take all of the credit. You are an individual with common sense so just assert yourself the next time she takes charge. Just refuse her assignment and sug gest that she do it and then make other suggestions. Do not iust sit on the sidelines, criti cize and do nothing about it. Wave your own flag. Diplomacy is the art of keep ing cool. —William Jennings Bryan.
