Mrs. Kate Burgess, a 79-year-old
widow who has only ohe leg, is block- ing*progress in Toronto. Worse than that, she can’t hear money talk.
“These “are pretty serious offenses”

Where Will It End?
According to a Soviet newspaper
report, patriotism is taking a truly .
fantastic turn in Red China. It has gone on‘a-Nazi-style book burning sents with all schools Glosed and
students hurling their “rotten” school -
books on huge bonfires. There is no evidence that “even one general ed- ucational school is now operating in Chirfa’’. Many of the pupils have join- ed the militant Red Guard. Only the writings of Chinese party chairman Magy Tze-tung can now be found, on Peking—bookshelves. Publishers are “working above their capacity in these disastrous days” to churn out more volumes of Mao’s voluminous writings. Worse still, from the Rus- sian paper’s standpoint, “attacks on proféssors, teachers or educational establishments are always accompan- led by anti-Soviet slander.” inly the extent to which ad- ‘oration of Chairman Mao ‘has gone is almqst_ incredible. A recent issue of the Peking Review speaks for it- self. The headline uf the lead story says: ”Nation elated by the Great Leader. Chairman Mao’s. Inscription - for the New Peking University Journ- al and for the Women of China Mag- azine,” And the story beneath it ex- plains: - . “Chairman Mao, our great, teach- er, leader, supreme commander and
elnjsman, has recently written the .
reé character inscription ‘Xin Bei Da’ (New Peking University) for the university’ new journal, and he has

They jumped for joy when they saw the name of the journ- a) was in Chairman Mao’s handwrit- ing and that the first issue also con- tained a picture of Chairman Mao.. And so on, and on; 34 printed pages of the most sycophantic balderdash : imaginable... ie

maligning the great leader of the Chinese people. In protest against the insult, the ensemble cut short its performance. “The sordid obstruc-
- tion on the part of the Soviet revision-
ists,” adds the article, “only served “to throw additional light on their |. foul features; it could not affect the r Soviet people’s respect for Comrade . Mao Tse-tung, the greatest Marxist-
Leninist of the present era, and their ‘profound feelings for the Chinese
people.” The authors of this stuff are pre-
‘sumably educated, adult: people. One
thing at least can be said for them: ‘that' when it comes to propaganda
they believe in going the whole hog. |
In The Doldrums
Premier Johnson’s performance at the recent federal-provincial tax conference has left the Quebec Lib- erals with a major problem in tactics. ‘Thus reports a writer in the-Mon- treal Gazette, who says that at the moment, the best answer to Mr. John- son’s tough line that Opposition Lead- er Jean Lessage can seem to come up. with ‘is a weak “me too.” The Premier’s demands on the federal purse, coupled with his hints of sep- aratism if French Canada does not get its much heralded “equality,” have made it impossible for the Lib-
—erals to-go-any farther in the game of-
fationalistic brinkmanship without tumbling right over the edge and into the. outstretched arms of the
_ separatists. On the other hand, a mod-
erate approach by Mr. Lessage would open him to charges of being soft on Ottawa.
“This dilemma. was. made ‘obvious ‘in a recent French-language telévis- .
’ fon program in which the Liberal ~ Jeader appeared, and in which le was-
quizzed by newsmen about his posit- ion on the Quebec government brief. He was careful not to do more than damn it with faint praise, and with the suggestion that a good many of
from members of his Liberal govern- ment. When agked whether he agreed with Daniel Johnson’s “two nation” concept, Mr. Lesage wouldn’t go any farther than noting that the phraseology was-very similar to his . reference to Quebec as “‘the mainstay of the French Canadian nation.” Not
-once in the 30-minute program did
he launch anything that might be in- terpreted as an attack on the Nation- . al Union policies.
This, as the Gazette writer says, may be a calculated ploy; but it ap- pears more likely the Liberals are in . a stew over what line they can. take in the vital field of federal-provincial relations that will appeal to the elec- torate and still be different from the National Union stand to permit a confrontation: It would be unfortun- ate, on all counts, if their leader should be doomed to spend the next few years’ faintly echoing new ad- ministrative initiatives in this most important area,

- Medical researchers at the Un- iversity of California have found that there are no tears quite like human tears. The distinguishing mark is the abundance of the harmone lysozyme which isa mild anti-bacterial. agent. The chemical makeup of the tears of a variety of animals at the San Fran- sisco Zoo was compared with human tears. The researchers found that monkeys have a trace of human type tears and gibbons had more lysozme than any other primate, thus showing a closer relationship to man. And what of crocodile tears?

NOVEMBER ECLIPSE
A ‘sclentist pacialistan in ec- lipses leads a frustrating life.

The sun’s eclipse on* Novemb- er 12, for instance, will be visib- ‘le in its totality in a relatively narrow band that passes across
