Parole because we did t have enough girls to put on Day parole to justify using the Sec there currently Are 14 women in the institution 10 of whom Are indians and Metis she said. Miss deslauriers denied that Day parole is Given on the basis of personality. It s granted on the basis of what a person s plans Are and her family Situa turning to counselling she said there is constant coun Selling and staff is available at All times. Counselling also depends upon what a person under stands As counselling. Face to Ace counselling with a desk be Ween the social worker and the mate does t take place often n a setting like this unless it s ought. But counselling does take Pla be anywhere in the building at any time. The staff literally lives with the inmates during their eight hour a s for group counselling miss deslauriers said she had attempted a formal group pro Gram but the inmates would t accept it. Group counselling does occur in a spontaneous in formal fashion she said. She said the Cost of setting up in jail training As the sex inmate had proposed would be absolutely prohibitive. We use programs outside the institution because they re already established. We try to get the women outside because it gets them into the Community to which they will be returning. The former inmate also told the corrections committee meeting that most of the women in two groups transported to Portage la Prairie from eos Burn were released the next Day. The first group was driven to Portage la Prairie last summer and consisted of about eight women the second came in december and consisted of from four to eight women. Rossburn is. About 150. Miles Northwest of Portage la Prairie. Most of the women were jailed overnight for non payment of the women said. Only one or two stayed longer. We thought it was a ridiculous experience and so did the Rev. Kim s. Warne commented i thought Manitoba was no longer jailing people for to miss deslauriers explained Ater that the women All of naive ancestry were brought to he Portage jail on outstanding warrants that is they had t Aid the fines imposed upon hem by judges under a time payment arrangement. Alternatively each was to serve three Days in jail but in both instances the women arrived at the jail on a thursday. Because the jail is prohibited from releasing prisoners on a weekend it had no Choice but to free the women the following Day miss deslauriers said. The women could t be Hek until monday because tha would have added up to fou Days. There Are no jail facilities in Rossburn or Brandon of she said. So it cheaper in these cases to sync them to Portage la Prairie be cause it would Cost More pay ing someone to look after them in agriculture form letters urge help for children sask.

Nabet Day quiet by the Canadian press a walkout by 125 radio technicians in Quebec province and a continuing local dispute in Calgary were the Only disruptive elements Friday if a quiet Day of mediation talks Between the Csc and the National association of broadcast engineers and technicians. The latest in a five week series of rotating strikes by Nabet members occurred when 102 technicians in Mon Treal and seven in Chicoutimi que., began what they de scribed As a study session. They were preceded thursday night by 16 in Quebec City. The Calgary technicians who walked out feb. 13, were barred by management from returning to work until an agreement is reached on Condi t i o n s governing any future walkouts. Similar agreements have been concluded at other centres across Canada. The Union contends that Cal Gary management has asked for concessions beyond those granted elsewhere. Manage ment spokesmen say the Only Point at Issue is a commitment by the technicians not to turn off equipment before walking off the Job and that the Guaran tee was included in the other agreements. Nabet has rejected a conciliation Board report calling for a six per cent wage increase retroactive to last july and an other 4.5-per-cent boost effective next july in a 21-month con tract. The technicians currently earn a maximum a week. The Union is asking for a 12.8 per cent increase retroactive to last july another 7.8 per cent in 1973 and reduction of the present 40-hour work week group will study provincial a provincial government study group has been appointed by the Manitoba government to develop a. Plan for economic development in the province Over the next decade. Premiered Schreyer told his weekly press conference Friday that the series of policy guide lines for the next decade under the working title of signposts for the seventies Are to be developed to provide the basis for government planning and action.

Some of the areas include anticipated Job requirements manpower policy the role of growth centres in Manitoba policy programs re lated to regional economic development Urban transportation policy the needs of family farms and programs for re Mote Northern areas. The report is to be completed by the end of april. The project is being conducted by the planning secretariat of the planning and priorities committee of Cabinet under the chairmanship of the Premier. The Premier said it was thought desirable to have a More updated study made for purposes of economic develop ment rather than relying on previous studies. Environmental considerations for example Are far More important now than during the 1960s, he said. The Premier also said the current study could we differ from previous reports in the area of what is considered optimum growth. It has never been asked be fore whether Manitoba is pay ing too High a Price for economic he said. Some outside consultants May be hired to assist in the study the Premier said. It is to develop an economic plan to relate to the whole dec Ade of the said Premier Schreyer. The report follows similar studies such As the 1962 commit tee on Manitoba s economic future come report and the targets for economic develop ment Ted report in 1968, both commissioned by the pre Vious progressive conservative administration.
