The Penitentiary consists of a group of heavy Stone buildings surrounded by a High Wall sur mounted by a catwalk on which Parade guards armed with three guns. The prison is maximum and the inmates Are Al ways either under direct surveil Lance or locked alone in their Nar Row cells. The one Man cells Are in tiers of four in wings radiating off the dome or Centre of the great cell mention on a week end. Busy earning a living. Thus the convention sees Only the older people the self employed and professional men and the banners in attendance. At this week s convention Dele Gates were urged to reassess their party s policies and to do a lot of soul searching but despite these Brave phrases Seldom in recent years at least has there been less enthusiasm shown to change standing policies. Wrong time season for Liis according to some liberals was that the pres ent was the wrong time to stir however they emphasized no open demand for change was contemplated now because of the closeness of fhe provincial elec Tion. Any move in. This direction at present could cause Only harm to the party As a whole. And they added if they can win control there May never be any outward sign that there has been an internal differ ence of opinion. But if the old guard can t be ousted then the Manitoba progressive association s annual meeting next year May provide the Battle Field on which the two factions will fight out. Their differences. That is one of the reasons Why an apparently innocuous Resolution which asked changing of the Date of the annual meeting from wednesday and thursday to Fri Day and saturday provoked Trie hottest debate of this year s meet ing.

We Felt no tension in the presence of the inmates smiling and seemingly Gay for the most part. 5 hours a Day the inmates Warden Desrosiers said work five hours a Day Al though the prison has limited work space. J Effort is being made to rehabilitate the inmates through treat ment by the resident psychologist the part time psychiatrist and through vocational training. Or. Desrosiers indicated Voca i tonal training for example i motor mechanics and also group therapy were just getting on their feet. The task is difficult because of the Low educational level of the prisoners. Or. Desrosiers has been trying to make the prisoners More con tent while incarcerated and More prepared for the outside when the time comes.

Targets of the rebels and that May be too Strong a word for them right now Are the. Old line hard shelled grits who have controlled party policy at the grass roots level for decades. In the Light of the recent fed eral election and the upsurge of the conservatives in Manitoba this group is convinced that out dated policies simply won t do any longer and As the supporters of these policies won t change them they will have to be de posed. Admitted freely during the Liberal progressive convention in the fort Garry hotel this week younger liberals admitted freely that a change had to be made. They pointed to the fact that More younger men were winning executive posts in the association As proof the move was already underway. Aged members to attend the controversy. With a provincial flags.
