For some years afteýr mav- ing here, I endured my friends laughing rejoinders that my firm conviction about city weather being warse than country weather was just a simple matter of nostagia for my boyhaod home in sunny rural Alberta. TRUEMAN There has been à row going on in Britain about the BBC's decision ta broadcast pictures of the Trade Secretary; Norman Tebbit, moaning with pain as he was hauledi from the wreckage of the,-Grand Hotel in Brighton. MP's, newspaper columnists, and members of the public have criticized the BBC's insensitivity in splashing Mr. Tebbit's moments of agony ail over its evening newscàst. The row ended in a rather dramatic fashion when Mr. Tebbit himself wrote a ltter ta The limes defending the BBC's decision to use the pictures. The Trade Secretary said that although he was opposed ta graphic coverage of the suffering of disaster' victims, the IRA bomb attack on the Grand Hotel was no accident. "It was murder and attempted murder,-' he wrote The Times. The logic of Mr. Tebbit's decision to draw the Une bet- ween an accident and a deliberate act escapes me, since he seems to be suggesting that in this case, there is some kind of lesson ta be Iearned from his suffer- ing. N4amely, 1 suppose, that the IRA is a bad bunch and shouldn't be underestimated. But it seems to me that if you use the same criteria, there are cases when it might also be instructive to depict the suffering of a truck driver pinned in the wvreckage of his cab, 'for example. You would thereby remind the public that trucks and cars are lethal in- struments and that they should be treated with great care and caution. 1 realize that this argument coming from someone who makes his living in news is suspect. Maybe, but 1 have believed for years that by and large, the average editor ol reporter is much more sensitive to this sort of thing than the general public. And thanks ta a col- umn in a recent Ottawa Citizen, by publisher Paddy Sherman, I now have something ressembling evidence. According ta Mr. Sherman, a newspaper in North Carolina has done an interesting study on ethics. In it, the newspaper put some hypothetical cases before, readers for decisions on whether or not ta publish. Thon it put the same cases bef ore its editors, and compared attitudes. lVil cite just one of them ta make a point. Sup- pose the mayor is a hard-liner on crime, -especially on drugs. His 19-year-old son who [ives at home, and at- tends college, is busted for the possession of marijuana. Do you puiblish the story or don't you? Fully 58% of the editors said that they woulcl not publish it, but on- ly 39% of the readers-turned thumbs down on the story. By and large, the readers were much more open ta publishing dubiaus stories than-the editors were. As I have said before, in a good newsroom, the in- habitants are ferociaus worriers. And we're more like- ly ta err on the side of caution than the other way, around. Fire prevention poster contest Orono-Lockharts Sehool News But now 1 know better and can back my argument with facts. It's not just your imagina- tion playing tricks on you when the weather in the city seems much more unrcomftor- table than the weather in the country. There is scientifie evidence ta psove what sweltering city dwellers have known (by feel) ail the time. 1 always thought, for ex- ample, that the city was hot- ter than the country side because the tali buildings keep the wind from cooling things off. That is one factor, but there are many others of equal or greater importance in explaining the difference. First, the concrete in city buildings and streets absorbs and stores more heat energy than soul does. Secondly, the walls, roofs and streets of the city act like a maze of reflec- tors, bouncîng the heat back and forth ta be absorbed by the myriad surfaces of the ci- ty. Thirdly, a city generates a great deal of its own heat, flot only from cars, trucks and factories, but also from heating buildings in the winter and air conditioning buildings in the summer. Another factor is that city ramn water does not remiain ta cool the land, but is quickly drained off into storm sewers. in winter, much of the snow is cleared away before it melts. 1Finally, the air in the city varies a heavy load of solid, liquid and gaseous con-. taminents which retard the outflow of heat in addition ta having other unpleasant ef- fects. The net result is a heat island -- a self perpetuating local subclimate which Ieads ta such weather forecasts as, the familiar -"low_ t.Qnipht, UlBJ ÇAaDlq 10 PU!M guo.ils t, Àllîanlu lA !lun 'It Z)14 îîjj slua)nîod ajow se asiom pue asiom ýW1wO1âq 'XI -p t .IaAO MOI ï?uiýuqet oU1s JO awop la '5o!ldw!awnuu Q4 Jwq4m snf si 1P!Um ',,pooq liez sisliuaiDs 1-e4M si PaJJ3 Jull!UoEJ J-iàIouv ,sqinqns But let's get back ta the issue we started wth .
