Speaking to 380 people in the International inn was Frederick r. Mackinnon Deputy minister of Public welfare for Nova Scotia. Indeed i the presence of a Strong creative and dynamic voluntary or non govern mental social service Force in the Community is so essential that if we did t have it we would have to create he said it seems to be axiomatic that we must accept and submit to Long and Short t e r m planning on a much greater scale than we have known or have been willing to accept to but or. Mackinnon added if those in government were universally Good and if they could always be counted upon to do Good things in a relatively Good world it might be Safe to do away with citizen and Volun tary Effort in social welfare and simplify everything by taxing the Public for All social welfare programs and having the government provide All services. But that is much too simplistic and or. Mackinnon said a Chil Dren s Aid society is in a much better position than social action groups to assess the needs of the Community to pass judgment on the sex insurance study urged Winnipeg civic insurance sub committee Friday asked four brokerage firms to get together and make recommendations on studying the Best insurance plan for the City s operations.

The four groups appointed Are Dale and co. Ltd., Reed Shaw Osier Ltd., old Field Kirby and Gardner insurance Ltd., and Aronovitch and Leipsic Ltd. The fifth group at the meet ing was Harriott and associates of Canada Ltd. The subcommittee left the company out of the group because Harriott acts As a consultant but not directly As a broker. The four firms have been asked to work out methods for a consortium to meet to study the City s insurance needs and report Back to the subcommittee. If the subcommittee eventually recommends going ahead with appointment of a consortium the move will need City Council approval.

If you want to plug in on what the recipients of these ser think and feel and want from you from the Community and from government you Are in a preferred position to do just that. You Don t have to go out and organize clients to raise hell with government or some other Community or. Mackinnon noted that As communities become More complicated so will the free Dom of voluntary agencies be come More restricted. This was evident from increasing fre Quency in the usage of such phrases As amalgamation co ordination Multi service approach and unified systems.
