TH
DEAR FRIENDS
It's always hard getting back
into the swing of a job after being
on holidays. But this time, it was
harder than we can ever
remember.
¤ This leads to some reflection on
the nature of this job. If you're
still thinking about holidays, two
weeks after you get back from
one, 'something must be wrong
with you and the job.
As 'we considered this, we paid
more attention to what we, do all
week long in order to figure out
just what the problem was.
We paid attention to what we
Ai like doing as well as what bugs us
about the job. How much would
we miss it? we asked.
Anyb ody who has a political
frame of mind likes watching
decisions being made. You see
that at meetings that you sit in on
as a reporter, meetings you likely
wouldn't go to if it wasn't part of
your job.,
It can• be fascinating to see
groups and individuals wrestle a
collection-of COnflictineidelis and'
favourite projects into plans for
action or workable policy.
It can be equally fascinating to
watch some of the wily pros as
they side step giving a direct
answer to an angry delegation or
justify the 180 degree turns they
sometimes make from what their
position was last week.
¤ Many of them are masters of
compromise, and at getting
returned to office time and time
again. Watching them operate
can be like seeing a very skillful
ballet.
Your reactions as you sit in a
long meeting can range from
boredom to eleation to disgust.
But whatever they are, you're not
supposed to show them. As a
member of the press you really
should be, sitting there
impassively, taking down what
you see and hear and keeping
your judgments on it all to
yourself. Or at least keeping them
to the editorial page.
It does your relationship with
the members of whatever body
you are coy ering absolutely no
good at all if they catch a loud
snicker, a wail of anguish or a
snore from the press table as they
are passing a particularily
iinportant motion.
Talkative reporters find it
particularly hard to keep quiet at
meetings. A councillor talking
about something looks up and
asks, does anybody know about so
and so? He's talking to his fellow
councillors, so even if you do just
happen to know, you bite your
tongue.
Or you watch a group at a
meeting accept as absolute gospel
some information that you know
for a fact is wrong. You'd like to
straighten things out, but you're
an observer, not a participant, so
you keep out of it. "That's not
true", you long to say, when
someone slanders a project that's
dear to your heart, but you're
trying not to be partisan, so you
shut up. •
One of the joys of thit job is

R.I1.2, Clinton
that sometimes, just once in a
long while, you get to sit in on a
meeting where a really good
decision happens. You are there
at the 'beginning and catch the
enthusiasm of people who've
come up with a new idea. You're
there at the birth and it's
exciting.
You see people who are
inspired to work hard for
something the community needs
or for political beliefs and you
hope that some of their
commitment and unselfishness
will rub off.
A lot of times though, you have
bad news to delve into. The fire
alarm rings and it might mean a
tragedy ... but you go and watch
whatever happens. You might
have to bother the family of an
' accident victim to get information
,for a story.
It's the last thing in the world
that you want to do; but you have
to, to make sure that the story is
accurate when it appears in the
paper.-)1; •
It's also hard to write the story
about an offender who's sent back
to reformatory for the third time.
You keep seeing a _wasted life
between the lines. You think
about the victims.
It gets darn depressing being
an observer and reporter during
bad times like these. It's pretty
hard to stay removed and
detached when somebody's world
is collapsing around them.
But you have to, because other
people want to read about the
community's sorrows as well as
its good times. A newspaper in
California which prothised to
print only good news folded after
a very few months for lack of
readers...
But it's much, much more than
that. If we are connected with
each other, if we really care about
what happens to each other, we
have to face up to conditions that
underly some tragedies,
conditions which can be
improved. We can learn from the
bad things that happen to each
other. We can swear that we'll
get involved and see that they
don't 'happen again.
Drowning in our own sorrows
.and those of others is morbid but
wanting to hear only good news is
kidding ourselves, we think.
Probably we'll keep thinking
about this job; but just as likely ,
we'll keep on doing it.
All the hassles and arguments
and griping and bad news aside,
it's just too interesting to give
up.
* * * * * *
What do other readers think
really think, about their jobs?
Perhaps we could run an
occasional story by someone else
who's been thinking about her or
his job, with the writer remaining
anonymous if that's ,necessary.
After all, we spend as much of
our lives working as we do with
our families. It might give
everybody some insight into the
joys and the trials of various jobs
if they knew how those doing
them felt.
* * ** * *
A friend brought a newspaper
from Scotland ,into the office
recently. It records a problem
which has some relevance to
Canada.
The Scots are upset because
top ,executives who work for the
regional councils (not popular
there either) have given
themselves whopping big raises.
The paper chronicles the rise of
the chief exec in the Glasgow area
region who in a year almost
doubled his salary. When he was
I
Glasgow city chamberlain (clerk?)
he earned the equivalent of about
$25,000. Now as regional head he
makes nearly $50,000, almost as
much as the British prime
minister and a whole lot more
than cabinet ministers there.
"A bloody scandal" is what
Scotland's Daily Record calls it.
Those who balk at the emphasis
Huron county weeklies give to
local officials pay hikes would be
stopped in their tracks by the
front page heading, with photos
of people in various jobs, that
says "All the people here (and
probably you too) earn less in a
year than council chiefs will get as
a massive PAY RISE!"
The paper profiles a civil
servant at the bottom of- the
region, a junior planner, who
earns about $6,000 a year,
"barely enough to live on."
The big Chief, it says, now
makes .more than four MP's, six
junior doctors, and twelve farm
labourers. 4 •
The ' whole controVersy
suggests that inflation and pay
gaps between segments of society
is not just North America's
problem.
But it's analysis that things are
even worse over there. The gap's
bigger. Salaries.people get at the
bottom are much lower and those
at the top much higher than in
Canada.
A Scottish steelwork&
about $5,500 a tailor
$4,000, a salesman, a barman and
a seaman all less than that.
A cook takes in a whopping
$1600 a year and a porter about
$2,400 plus tips.
The cost of living may be
somewhat lower in Scotland than
it is here, but we suspect n of
much, especially since Britain
entered the Common Market.
But even so, it must be more
galling to see a top bureaucrat
making nearly $50,000 ,ten times
more than the average worker.
As bad as inflation and wage
and price hikes look in Canada we
think it looks worse in Scotland.
maybe that's why the press there
yells-louder than we do.
Thanks, but we'll keep our own
problems.
