The Council prepared the principles for its brief to the [loyal Commission on News. papers on the basis of its experience since 19-2 in handling complaints from the. pUblic about the press. said Mr. Dunton. The aim was to answer the question what are the responsibilities of new s- papers, one of a number of questions the commission said it was asked to report on, From its inception. the Council resisted any suggest-. ion that it prepare a written C`titie of conduct for the press. commissioner Borden Spears mentioned at a hearing to discuss' he Council Brief. He thought the set, of principles appeared to be close to such a axle. In handli ng news, the report noted, the Council called for good sense and .good taste, accuracy. initia- tive, absolute fairness, soundly-based interpretation and a wide variety of subject matter. On opinion. the Council held that a newspaper ought to publish lively opinions of its own, and a diversity of, opinions in opinion columns. and should 'offer fair and generous access to people Seeking to express their own opinions. • particularly any running counter to the news- paper's. Also, newspapers could serve society as a vehicle of service, by helping people to- tope with change, 'and by serving„. as a watchdog on government government agencies, business and other institutions. Moreover, a newspaper should - keel) .. in mind all it publishes arms a record for the future and it should act accordingly. The set of principles. on entertainment said a news- -. paper should aim .at publish- ing tasteful material design- ed to entertain, as well as to inform. readerS of all ages and background: s The report noted that qne in every three persons who had coffiplaitiett about the conduct of member news- . papers since the Council's beginning in 1972 received . either satisfaction from the newspaper. or an adjudicat- ion from the Council. The ratio fell to about one in four for people'. complaining about non-member newspapers - complaints the Council may deal with only if the news- paper agrees. Mr. Dunton remarked that normal distributicin of the report will be delayed by the postal strike. The Council has a mailing list of upwards of 1.000 people' who get each annual report automatically. Others may obtain a copy free on request to the Council office in Ottawa. 151 Slater St.. Suite 708, K IP 5H3: phone(613) 235-3841. In 1980 the Council, which has a principal purpose of considering complaints from the public about the conduct of the press, had nine daily newspaper members and five weeklies. They were: Dailies; Ottawa Citizen, Toronto Star. The Spectator of Hamilton. Brandfotd Expositor, Kitch- ener-Waterloo Record, Len& • on Free Prest, Windsor Star. Owen Sound Sun Times. and, the Sault Ste. Marie Star: and weeklies; Smithi Falls Record News. Stittsville Nertic, Alliston Herald. Orangeville Citi ten, and Editor's note: A Seaforth native, Gilch- rist Livingstone Coppin, who now lives in Arizona. had an interesting experience recently with her cat. TWirik: The story, as it appeared in the Tuscon. Arizona Citizen follows. Mrs. Coppin is "Mrs. Lady" 'and Twinkle Toes the cat is just Twink. Cat stories can be tricky That is one of the very first things they each the youngsters in journalism school. .:The -difftcu'lty is hardly ever with cats th mselves, ihnt rather with people who keep them. Most cats are easy to get along' with: "cat people"though, often are easily offended. . It takes but a wayward semi-colon or an ill-chosen adjective - however innocent - in a newspaper' story about cats to snap a cat-fancier's nose out of joint, and ai they say, hell bath no fury like a cat fanciei1 with , an out-of-joint nose. But this evening we. fling prudence to the wind and, tricky though it might be, tell about the amazing - welt, ttntival - thing Twinkle ToeS did the other day.. Twinkle Toes being a cat. Save for white paws, vest and bikini, she is a long-haired black cat.. distinctive in neither size nor geneaology. With' her lady (whem we'll call Mrs. 'Lady) she lives on the eighth floor of a dose-in Tucson' high-rise apartment build- ing. . The thing about Twinkle Toes. says Mrs. Lady, is that she isn't at all twinkle-toed. In fact Twinkle Toesis_17_t_very.oki inrieeri as you' now if you are into cats) and all but in her dotage. "I've -had her since she was a kitten," said Mrs. Lady. "and she's never been very active." In her youth Twinkle Toes was not one to frisk, about and play with rubber balls and such, as most cats are fond of doing. "She's always been a• slow mover, but now that she's. so up in years 'she's even slower," ' said Mrs. Lady. What's more, she has not been enjoying' the -best of 'health of late'. Ills' that' come with age, mostly. "But she does seem to have her good spells, I'm happy to say." •Mrs. lady said. Obviously Twinkle Toes was having one of those , good spells the other day. _ It doesn't matter which day it was. except that is was the same day Mrs. Lady had mailed off her income tax payment. The apartment they share opens onto- a balcony. which is bounded by a fencelike barrier. There is about a 12-inch space between the balcony floor and the bottom of the fence. The day' was pleasant and the glass door between the bedroom and 'the balcony was open. Mrs. Lady tells us. "I' had just stepped into the bedroom when suddenly Twink - she must've been at the end 'of.the bed • flew up into the air and then shot out onto the balcony," Mrs. Lady said. It was almost as if the cat was jet-propelled. Had she been dreaming? Had she seen something out on -the balcony? "I was afraid to look!" Continued Mrs. Lady. "1 was sure there was going to be a dead ..cat on top of spme station wagon parked below. Iwink was going so fast I was afraid she wouldn't be able to stop. I knew she was going to go under that barrier and - well, keep going." ' Twink hadn't moved that fast in. ages. In a flash Mrs. Lady was on the balcony, expecting ... the worst. "But there was Twinkle Toes - she hadn't gone under the fence!" She was looking very smug. very proud of herself. "And there was something under her paw." said Mrs. Lady. "I went over to see what it was and - why, I couldn't believe it - it was a 520 bill!" A windfall_ Literally and figuratively_ ft had been lofted from goodness knows where and fluttered onto Mrs. Lady's balcony, where it was spotted by the cat. Twenties from heaven to salve the ,hurt of the income tax payment ? Hmmmmm. But what to do with thernoney? Twink is aged and ailing. Mrs. Lady thought with a realistic turn of mind, so before long there will' be the matter of "final expenses." - Bosh! Rightfully the found money belonged to .the cat, she realized, and should be 'used for happier needs. So our. Mrs. Lady hurried off to the market. "I bought Twink a can of honest-to-God people salmon!" she said "Red salmon,.at that' - S2.99. on sale." Which leaves $1 7.01 in Twink's account, "Not at all bad for a cat that never was a fast mover. ' r — Geo. A.
