CAC tested four samples of six different brands of these dinners ranging in price from 75 cents to $1.39. Fraser Vale and High Liner were the only two brands rated "good" quality. The other four brands were rated "acceptable" A test panel detected stale fl- avours in the Rupert, Sea Fresh and Blue Water brand fish. The only strong "off" taste was found in one piece of Rupert brand fish. The fish in Captain'; Choice had a fibrous texture and lacked flavour. The chips in all dinners tasted slightly tart, the panel found. The price of convenience is high. The four to five ounces of fish in these dinners cost as much as 24 cents an ounce or $3.84 a pound. In a super- market survey last year, CAC found that a pound of frozen cod ranged from $1.07 to $1.20 and fresh cod was priced at, $1.35 per pound. CAC discovered that anyone who has bought these dinners has known all along --they should more appropriately be called "chips and Fish." The potato content in our samples ranged from 53 to 59 percent. The fish alone (not including batter) made up only 19 to 28 per cent of the meal. Although the major compon- ent of fish and chip dinners is french fries, a consumer can not tell this from the label. Fish and chip packages, accord- ing to federal packaging and labelling regulations, must list ingredients in descending order of quantity. But some manuf- acturers did not follow these regulations on packages CAC tested. Blue Water, High Liner, Captain's Choice and Sea Fresh placed fish at the top of their ingredient list despite the fact that the bulls of the dinner was composed of potatoes. Other information on pack- ages was scanty. A consumer looking for the number of serv- ings or pieces of fish would not find it on the label. The illust- rations on packages gave the impression the ratio of fish to potatoes was much higher than it really is, However, Blue Water and Sea Freshbrands had the same number of fish portions as pictured; four brands cont- ained one piece more than ill- ustrated; and high Liner, which displayed two and a half pieces on its 20 ounce package, act- ually contained five pieces. The Rupert brand had diff- erent cooking instructions on two of its samples. When both package directions were foll- owed, the fish was undercooked at the lower temperature and th, chips were burnt tasting at the higher setting. All six of the tested brands came close to or met one third of the daily protein requirement for adults and were found to be more than adequate for children. Hello!!

When a carburetor air cleaner becomes clogged with dirt, you. not only waste fuel, you add the extra emission to air pollution, too. If the price of gas bothers you, think of it this way: it's only gone up 2 1/2 times since 1930, while per capita income has risen 6 1/2 times. Now, don't you feel better? If a tire is worn in the center, it's probably over -inflated. When tire is coo/, let some air out and recheck pressure. New giant truck is 67 feet long and weighs more than a 747 jet.
