division of the cwna from our standpoint sharp criticism of herald reporting of coun cil meetings expressed at mondays meeting by councillor sykes wasunexpected and wetiope undeserved for some eighteen years we have taken pride in our ob of purveying what we consider important news to residents we started in the days when council met once a month for a cou pie of hours and when a rrlajor item might be discussion of painting the fence at the patk or replacing some broken sidewalk back in the forties it was not unusual for council to recess for the two summermonths and the years mee tings would total a bare dozen we have passed through changing times to a day when a growing town demands a large share of a councillor s time with an average of over one meeting a week plus numerous com mittee meetings and when as a reporter we count every monday a work night it is a dif ficult job to spend three or four hours listening to council business then spending a couple of hours in our tuesday working day interpreting the news for public consumption difficult par ticularly because we are extremely conscious of the power of the printed word and realize that public opinion can be influenced by the news as it appears in its final form we strive for perfection but never attain it arid in our sadder moments we resent the fact that it never can be attained the combined efforts of a solomon and a methuselah could never compact three solid hours of motions debate and public business into a few columns of type which would be let ter perfect or equally pleasing to nine counc i members who do not always agree on every question and who sometimes change their stand on controversial questions after a debate we know too that a man in public life is sometimes tne target for unjustif ed critic sm by a ratepayer who distorts something he has said takes it out of its context or in an angry mom ent misinterprets a statement and adds his own views to it perhaps monday caught us in the talking us into it the political parties in their efforts to make election capital will talk canada into a recession if they aren t careful there ts so much argu ng at present about who caused unemployment that we re soon go intj to start believing there is something wrong recession talk is a dangerous th ng at any time and when it comes at a time of peak seasonal unemployment it could eas ly have a chain reac tion business might hold off projected mach n ery purchases a man planning to build a house might dec de to wait another year and there could be a general t ghtenmg of purse strings by corporal ons and individuals wh ch could be disastrous to the country economy another bad thing is the talk about why practice practical patriotism backwash of such an incident although cr sykes statements were general and indicated no specific report with which he disagreed one accusation we would like to answer is that council reports in the herald are not factual but rather the editor s interpretation of he news that was the point that hurt for it has been our firm policy that a news item is impersonal writ mg and anything personal we have to say ap pears in the editorial column and in eighteen years we have never knowingly deviated from that policy we do at times interpret a councillors re marks in the light of what we think he wishes to say local government is not like parliament where members speak from prepared texts or are so skilled in debate that they have developed the faculty of extemporaneous lucidity to quote directly any lengthy statement of any councillor unless it has been pre rehearsed would most certainly make confusing reading in a newspaper many times discussions are left hanging in the air sentences are not finished and a man in the heat of debate will omrt a word or insert another which gives his statement the exactly opposite meaning lo what he intends if compiling a de bate into readable form with events in their pro per sequence to g ve readers a finished news re port is wrong then we plead guilty on this count but the report is still that of council and has no bearing on our own opinions of public affairs we have no present intention of turning over council report ng to anyone else save on occas ions when we cannot attend a meeting we will continue to strive for a high degree of accuracy to improve our news coverage and g ve readers the information they want if at any time a councilor wishes to cntc ue that s hts prerogat ve the ma i bag col umn is always at h s d sposal if he d sagrees w th any items and we are always ready to accept con struct ve cr t cism we prefer however that t be more specific just to say we are a poor re porter leaves no starting po nt for mprovement cars aren t sell ng on a
