Co-Editors: Heather Conn and Tom Hawthorn Time passed slowly in the land. Wendv Hunt could usually be seen walking in the fields at morn with her flocks. But something was different this morning in the village. Gary Brookfield cast the sky and felt something vaguely familiar in the air. Heather Conn too was disturbed by the presence. "It's something I know I've teit before, remarked Tom Hawthorn as he nottced small flocks of animals scurrying home to lick their wounds and others chuckling as only beasts will. Kevin Finnegan and Julie Wheelwright watched the creatures intently disturbed by the scene. Steve McClure almost refused to be in the masthead thinking it too dull but conceded and noticed the animals doing their own thing and ignoring the others seemed happier. Geof Wheelwright and Peter Menyasz were sick of observation and wanted action. They suggested killing the beasts but Keith Baldrey refused, saying some kind of compromise would be found, perhaps in Manitoba. Bob Staley turned from the scene recognizing what it was.

In 1978, Thomson reaped profits of $47.3 million and by 1979 he increased this figure to $56.5 million. It is no wonder that Ken­ neth's father, Roy, (who got his son started in the newspaper business) observed that Ottawa Journal owning a communications business was like "having a licence to print your own money." The Senate report on the mass media brought out in 1970 concurred with the elder Thomson, noting that newspaper ownership generates profits which are on the average twice that of a factory or a retailing outlet. The Senate report pointed out another (Q» (&bk* and ^iail trend amongst monopoly newspaper chains which seems particularly true of Thomson.

In short, with newspaper profits growing en­ <> ormously they can afford to plow back more money to make the paper a better product — Winnipeg Free P$»v but they aren't. Syndicated columnist Douglas Fischer says that when he was an MP for the constituency of Thunder Bay in the early '60s, he asked Roy Thomson, who owned Thunder Bay's newspaper, if he could include more columns about federal politics in his paper. Fischer argued that the local citizens had a high de­ gree of interest in the subject. Thomson replied: "Frankly, what would Dicfaria j?F?Vfc be the point of it? It wouldn't sell one more paper in the market area." "Precisely," notes the Senate report, "the paper is earning a pile already; why reduce profits by putting out a better product?" The attitude of FP publishers towards their newspapers has been an "odd compound of patrician responsibility and estate planning," €fo l^Sduuer Sun to quote a recent story in the Globe and Mail. "While the previous owners saw their paper as a good investment they were also proud of their quality and opposed any kind of editor­ ial interference," the story said.

He believes e Herald the Thomson organization will treat the Globe in the same manner accorded the Times of London, the venerable journalistic institution in England which Thomson con­ trols.
