But they can only stir up more irritation by such silly niggling as the substitu- tion of "state" for "province" in references to Quebec. Mr. Lesage's government is sup- porting a campaign to eliminaté the words "province" and "provincial" from official current usage in Que- bec. Jean-Marc Leger, director of the French language bureau of the provincial cultural affairs depart- ment, says Premier Lesage took the lead last October when he issued instructions that switchboard oper- ators in government offices reply "government of Quebec", not "pro- vincial government" as in the past. Mr. Leger admits that "province" is a correct French word, but says it connotes in French something other than what is meant in the constitution which, he notes, was drafted with an Anglo-Saxon ap- proach. He says the French word Khrushchev The bitterness of Khrushchev's attack on the Chinese Communists this week was not lessened by his failure to name them as his op- ponents. He left no doubt in any- one's mind, in East or West, about the target of his argument and abuse. Most of it he has said before. It has been the theme at the Soviet party comwgress and at congresses in Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary and Czecho-Slovakia. This time it was simply longer and more acrimonious. There can no longer be any doubt about the seriousness of the ideolo- gical split between the Russians and the Chinese. The basic quarrel, of course, is over what the Communists call "peaceful co-existence". It is Khrushchev's contention that the Communist world can overcome the capitalist world without war. The Chinese believe in the use of force, which is the old and basic Com- munist doctrine. The Russians are the deviationists -- a deviation that "province "in such colntries as France and Belgium is used to des- cribe an administrative unit, not a -- political entity such as "a state, or semi-state if you will, which has well-defined legislative jurisdiction." Quebec newspapers continue to use the words "province" and "pro- vincial" in referring o the Quebec government and its activities. And Mr. Leger thinks that from a tourist point of view it may still be advis- able to use the word "province" -- which may explain Quebec's decision to carry the French legend "'la belle province" on 1968 car licence plates. It's a petty matter, but one which will probably irritate people in the other provinces. Canadian provinces have such a large degree of sovere- ignty over matters within their borders that could all be called states, but the word "province" has acquired a rich and special meaning for Canadians, no matter what it might mean in Belgium or France or anywhere else. There are under- tones of pride and loyalty that can- not be ignored -- and will not be ignored in the rest of Canada. And China could in the end be highly beneficial to the non-Communist world. Indeed, the battle between the Communist giants has already been a costly one. It has imperiled the Kremlin's monolithic leadership and has helped. to force China to give up dreams of rapid industrialization. There is more than a split over doctrine, however. Khrushchev is a realist. He knows, from Russian tests, exactly how devastating a nuclear war would be. He clearly fears that the Chinese not only do not recoil from the idea of such war but that within the next few years they may have the means to launch such a war. One cannot avoid the impression, after reading Khrushchev's recent speeches, that this far of Chinese irresponsibility is dominating. his thoughts and may be strongly in- fluencing his policies. The only other conclusion can be that he is using the fear of nucelar war as a whip to flog those who disagree with his policies, Ode To Wood Burning A nostalgic essay on wood as a fuel comes from Ed Youngman, who looks after the Durham County Forest. It's admitted that the switch to coal, oil and gas furnaces, ther- mostatically controlled and auto- matically fueled, has done away with the nightly trips from wood- shed to woodbox with the next day's supply, and with the smoke, the dust the extremes of temperature. But gone too, thinks Mr. Youngman, are many aesthetic qualities -- the singing kettle, the crackling wood, the flickering shadows. But let him tell it him- self: "At Durham Forest our fuel con- sists of: mixed wood which we burn in the kitchen stove, in the furnace and in the workshop. Besides its uses for cooking and heating it has other appealing qualities, such as beauty and aroma when burning. She Osharwn Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

Cedar, too, when well dried, gives out a nose-tingling aromatic odor when burning. There is no other wood flames so rich as the bark of the white birch; its clear, oil-like flame has none of the heaviness and flatness of pine or balsam. The heat from it is fierce and the light quite dazzling. 'Cherry wood makes a pretty flame, and as many a farmer knows, old apple wood burns cleanly, bright- ly, with a spicy fragrance, as the flames produce shifting colors of canary yellow, pale blue, and saf- fron. For a lively, snapping fire try a dry, dead spruce. "Nothing is a greater waste of time than poking at a wood fire in the hope that it will make it burn more briskly. Two logs, side by side, with hot coals between them, will make their own draft, which comes in at each end of the sticks ... "If you would like to acquire some home-made incense, try charring the end of a slender limb of juniper; wave it around inside a room... And, of course, nothing equals the dry wood from an old white-pine stump, for variation of color com- bined with shin-warming heat."

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland -- The Scottish Plebiscite Fund, through which a strong group of Scottish Nationalists hoped to raise $300,000 to finance the taking of a national plebiscite on Scottish Home Rule, seems destined to die a premature death. This is indicated by the announcement that the two na- tional organizers for the fund, Major. F. A. C. Boothby .and John Mackay, have had to give up their jobs because there is not enough money in the trea- sury to pay their salaries. It was hoped in the first year op of the appeal to raise $300,000. But the total amount contributed up to the end of the year was somewhere in the region of $15,000. Practically all of this has been spent on overhead ex- penses, leaving the kitty bare of finances for the actual carrying out on the postal plebiscite on what kind of government Scot- land should have. NOT GIVING UP The committee promoting the Society: however, declares that it is not giving up the project. Sheriff Peter Thomson, _ its chairman, has put forward some interesting proposals for the raising of the money, One of these is that the local com- YOUR HEALTH Energy Produced By Blood Sugar By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What is hyperinsulinism? Is it possible for one on a high protein diet, using very little sugar and los- ing 25 pounds in four months, to suffer from such a_ condi- tion? Would low blood pressure be the result?--MRS. W.N. Hyperinsulinism often is a loosely-used term, and I won- der whether that is really what you mean. Blood sugar is one of the most variable substances in the blood stream. It is, essentially, the energy producing material in the blood. It increases after eating, then gradually decreases. It rises sharply because of fright, shock or anger. It is lowered--used up, that is--by exercise. Insulin is necessary for the proper utilization of blood su- gar. Diabetes (lack of enough insulin) allows too much sugar to accumulate in the blood, Hyperinsulinism is the oppo- site: Too much insulin, which in turn sharply reduces the amount of blood sugar to very low levels. It is not a common ailment, but it does happen. A somewhat similar condition (often incorrectly called hyper- insulinism) is functional hypo- glycomia,'simply meaning low blood sugar. It comes about, and behaves, much differently, however. There's a strong nervous fac- to I don't mean ordinary "ner- vousness" although that may be apparent, but a basic tense- ness of the nervous system, af- fecting organs over which we have 'no voluntary control. Such people often have ulcers, too. And patients who have had their stomachs removed fre- quently suffer from hypogly- cemia because their food is not efficiently absorbed. Some liver diseases also account for hypo- glycemia. So can glandular dis- orders of the pituitary or adren- als. Whatever the cause, those with hypoglycemia tend to be irritable when the blood sugar reaches low ebb. They may have headaches, certain kinds of spells, rapid heart beat, ex- cessive . perspiration. A "sugar tolerance test" is part of the diagnosis, coupled with a survey of the symptoms. While the two ailments are similar in that blood sygar is low, or becomes very low at ANCIENT MATHS Scientists in ancient Mesopo- tamia were aware of many of the principles of mathematics more than 4,000 years ago. times, the timing and pattern are distinctly different. A diet high in protein, mod- erate in fat and low in 'starch and sugar is used for hypogly- cemia because the protein, which liberates its food value slowly, provides a long, gradual supply of blood sugar. Starch, on the other hand, is converted quickly into blood sugan. The patient is uncomfortable from the quick rise and then abrupt decline of blood sugar. Yts, low blood pressure can accompany the condition since many such patients also have a relatively low thyroid activity. The loss of weight may. come from the simple fact of too few calories in the diet--or was weight reduction sought delib- erately? If the loss of weight was not desired, then the diet should be increased. If on the other hand, this was a reducing diet which has re- sulted in low blood sugar--well I've consistently warned against as to lose too much too ast. mittees and supporters of the fund should. start new indus- tries in Scotland. All ve profits of these industries would go into the fund, and ownersh » in them would be shared by the fund and those who had contributed the initial capital. It is also proposed that a firm of professional fund-rais- ers should be employed to take charge of the campaign to se- cure the cash required. A repre- sentative of one of the largest fund raising firms in Europe is coming to Edinburgh in the near future to meet wit <:e representatives of the plebis- cite movement. MAKING NEW EFFORT Things had been reaching a desperate stage in the society's effort. Recently the fund's busi- ness committee resigned in a body and it ceased to exist. This committee's. chairman, Rollo, and Michael Starfo secretary of the appeal fund, have been making a_ strong effort to form a new central organizatidn committee. In giving up his post, Major Boothby expressed the view that Sheriff Thomson's pro- posals were rather at cross Purposes with those of Mr. Rollo. "You can't take two bites at the cherry," he said. He said that he himself would do all he could to help the an- peal, but he would not accept any form of paid position under the present organization. In spite of the hopeful views which are still being expressed by the promoters of the plebis- cite, it looks like a project that is pre-doomed to failure. When it was launched with a flour- ish of publicity a year ago, they were hopeful that many wealthy Scots would rally to their support, and provide the $300,000 necessary to carry on the plebiscite plan. Its purpose was to secure a_ sufficiently representative vote in favor of a separate Scottish parliament to induce the government to take some action along that line. The spark, however, did not catch fire. There was no popu- lar enthusiasm for t*e n'9r w | the hopes of contributions pour- ing in were never realized. .. is unlikely that any new enthusi- asm can be engendered, or that the money required will ever be forthcoming, There are just not enough Scots who feel inclined to make an issue of a separate parliament for Scotland, along the lines of that of Northern Ireland, _ BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Oshawa Wholesale Limited purchased property on Mac- Millan Drive for the erection of a $25,000 warehouse.

John OTTAWA REPORT - Voters Are Weary Of House Jockeys By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA --- The political va- cuum of the Christmas - New Year holidays has abruptly ta- pered off in Ottawa as our par- liamentarians are flocking back for what seems destined to be an historic meeting of the House of Commons. The eyes of all MPs are turned toward some unspecified day in the future when they will be hurled, often more _nilling than willing, into another elec- tion campaign. But their four weeks at home has shown them with often un- pleasant clarity that the voters of Canada have little sympathy with their partisan attiudes, Canadians want determined, im- aginative and effective govern- ment; they do not want any more of the partisan jockeying for positions between political tweedledums and_ tweedledees - who are almost identical twins.

QUEEN'S PARK Ontario Tories Start Campaign By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--An election date hasn't been set--but the cam- paign is on. It started the second week in January. : During the week there were two happenings of importance. One was that Premier Ro- barts made a speech at Vine- land. The second was the announce- ment of Tory Night in Metro. ELECTION SPEECH The Vineland speech was to the West Central District Pro- gressive Conservative Associa- tion. And it was an election speech. It was keyed to the claim that the Conservative party is the people's party. And it preached the record of the party and the government as every government leader preaches in an election cam- paign, BIG PROMOTION Tory Night in Toronto is a big promotion. On January 23 PC meetings are being held in every riding in the Toronto area. And Premier Robarts is air- ing a special telecast which will be shown at all of the meetings, as well as to the general public. This is election stuff. Does this mean we are going to have an election soon? Ask next door neighbor. He probably knows as much as the writer. When we get to the question of exact dates he may even know as much as Mr. Robar.s. The situation regarding the election itself still has not clari- ed. Some say it will be early a Others hold out for the all. But so far.as the government is concerned the campaigning has Started, IT'S ON The Vineland meeting was the seventh of eleven regional meet- ings being held to stimulate or- ganization. The party has its annual meeting here in Toronto next month--and this most probably will turn into an election warm- up. Friends had a $100 a plate din- ner for Mr. Robarts to raise funds--and publicity.
