The rural French-Canadian community of St. Denis, studied intensively in 1936-37, was revisited during 1949. Social change was analyzed with a view to establishing the trnds in rural Quebec and in order to test hypotheses based on the previous study. It was found that the one largely self-sufficient community had moved toward greater interdependence with the outside world, most markedly in production and communication technology. Demographic changes were also found. Unanticopated changs were caused by Dominion and provincial programs which brought considerable cash income into the community without requiring any fundamental change in the social structure. This new income provided means of fulfilling needs which previously had to go unfilled
