Sugar coated breakfast cereals contain 30 to 47 percent sugar. Sausage is a dream come true for the producer. In it you can get rid of sub- standard meat you wouldn’t dare put on the counter. You add gobs of fat and spices. You color it and put water in it and the buyer has no idea. “The frankfurter d o e s n 't seem like one of the world‘s great problems.“ said Nader.‘ Nader gave‘ the following address for people to write to who are interested in forming a public interest group: Don Ross 1025 15th St. North West. Wash- ington, DC, USA. He then answered several questions from the audience. He mention- ed a group called Campaign GM which holds only 12 shares of GM stock, but is working to im- prove representation on the board of directors of GM. He said the laws for shareholders badly need revision so that shareholders have more rights in a company Does the auto industry know what it is doing? Yes, says Nader. They call their replace- ment parts the crash parts in- dustry. Can it be prevented? As an example, Nader cited Henry Ford’s old cars that had bumpers that did protect the auto, "A man who commits a $100 fraud could be sent to Attica Prison for five years, but fraudulent car makers are invited to the White House," he said. 'Nader said he searched through the US. Patent Office files and found patents for col- lapsable steering columns dat- ing from the 19205. They were purchased by the auto makers, and yet it wasn’t until 1967 that they appeared on the cars. The car bumper is sup- posed to protect the car, but today’s ornamental rbumpers don’t do this even in crashes at speeds of four to five miles per hour. There are bumper guards to protect the bumper. T h i s fraudulent ornamental bumper costs the consumer two billion dollars per year in re- pairs, he said. "The US. Government put some regulations into effect in 1968 stating that the car dealer must have comparisons between his car make and competitors' makes to show the customer if asked, but these regulations only covered the brake stop- ping distances, tire load and capacity and the acceleration times.” said Nader. 75% PREVENTION POSSIBLE “Deciding the priorities for a clean-up between the auto in- dustry. the food industry. the insurance industry or the bank- ing industry is difficult. How can the buyer evaluate a prodâ€" uct such as a car when he goes out to purchase it? Does he buy a brand name because he knows the dealer. take the word of an uncle or friend, or choose the same kind he has now? Does the auto industry know what it is doing? Yes, says Nader. They call their replace- ment parts the crash parts in- dustry. Can it be prevented? As an example, Nader cited Henry Ford’s old cars that had bumpers that did protect the auto, "A man who commits a $100 fraud could be sent to Attica Prison for five years, but fraudulent car makers are invited to the White House," he said. Another example of a some- times faulty product is the power lawn mower which is re- sponsible for 150,000 accident cases yearly in the US. from such things as toes to stones, etc. thrown up at bystanders. A common consumer fruad occurs in the food industry where water, air and fat are Fourteen states are now in the advanced stages of forming such groups. There are now fulltime public interest lawyers working in Washington, D.C. In the U.S. lawyers have a con- tingency fee. If one wins a case he gets 30 per cent of the award. But if he doesn’t win he get nothing. This fee sys- tem doesn’t apply in Canada, but it is still possible to sue a manufacturer and win. FAULTY MOTOR MOUNTS Last year, ‘Nader’s office re- ceiVed 35 letters complaining about faulty motor mounts on General Motors cars. They set to work and compiled a list of 3.800 documented cases which they presented to General Motors. Three months later, GM announced that they would begin recalling cars in February. “Cars can be built to prevent‘ 75% of the personal injuries in crashes." Nader said. “A col- lision avoidance system would take approximately 10 years to bring to the market, but it would only cost the consumer about two to three hundred dol- lars added to the price of the car. Savings in personal injury and insurance premiUIns would be many time that figure. In stead, much of the engineering technology has been used in the space race and national defence. For comparison. he said. crime in the streets is a much talked of theme. but Costs the US. public about two billion. A case of bread price fixing among Seattle bakeries was broken up when the govern- ment stepped in. said Nader, and the result was an immediate drop in the price of each loaf and a saving of four million dollars per year for the con- sumer. He said a large com- pany in Gary. Indiana has been “operating at a raw criminality level for so long they wouldn’t know a straight road if it was placed in front of them". A common consumer fruad occurs in the food industry where water. air and fat are selling for higher .prices than ever before. The criterion for a new food product is that it should be palatable. visually presentable, and easy to chew, not that it should be nutritious or free from adulteration with chemical preservatives, said Nader. 1,500 enthralled as he told of corporate and goVernment plots and mistakes that yearly cost the consuming public thirty bil- lions of dollars in the U.S. By CAROLINE COOK Langstaff Correspondent Ralph Nader. the consumer crusader. visited York Univer- sity on Steeles Avenue West March 5 to give a talk as the final event at Atkinson Week. end.

Gov- ernment is taking off the market items which are tested and found to be harmful. The cyclamates are an example. Studies showed that consump- tion over a period of 20 years could have a cancer-producing effect. To test the substance for 20 years would have meant injury to many people as the product had already been on the market 12 years. It wasn‘t the only item that could replace sugar. nor did it seem to have any weight-reducing effect.

The Metro Conservation Au- thority will hold public demon- strations of syrup making in the area all week long between now and mid-April.

The burden of proof lies with the producer who must show that these cockroaches are nutritious. After all he's sell- ing them to us as food, said Nader. V In that case. he says. they are really corporate industry. If they took only $4 per year and put it into public interest research and action groups then with the $4 from each of the other students, in Ontario say, there would be the funds for full time workers. A team of lawyers and engineers could study products and assist dis- satisfied consumers. Large doses were given to laboratory animals only to speed up the reaction times and reduce the testing times. Sac- charin is now under study, as are sodium nitrite, coloring agents used in hot dogs and stilbestrol, a fattening agent given to some animals before marketing. The patent medi- cine business is now undergoing testing, product by product, to see if the claimed benefits occur. Two billion dollars, each year, are spent on patent medi- cines, he said. Nader says “we should rede- fine work to include citizen- ship activity such as the afore- mentioned. Ten percent of the students graduating from uni- versities should seek jobs in citizen activities. When he talks to students they tell him they are for peace and justice. They also say they spend $250 per year on pop, cigarettes and snack foods. CONSUMER ACTION An example of consumer ac- tion is the Civilian Supersonic Transport debate which lasted four years from the time con- sumer groups opposed to it con- verted the first senator to‘ their point of view to the time of its defeat in the U.S. Senate, said the famous consumer crusader. but it is Stlll possmle to sue a manufacturer and win. FAULTY MOTOR MOUNTS Last year. ‘Nader’s office re- ceived 35 letters complaining about faulty motor mounts on General Motors cars. They set to work and compiled 'a list of 3.800 documented cases which they presented to General Motors. Three months later, GM announced that they would begin recalling cars in February.

NORTH AMER!“ "Huntsman: Maple Syrup Making Saturday, Bruce's Mill The Metro Conservation Au- thority will hold public demon- strations of syrup making in the area all week long between now and mid-April. Bruce's Mill is located two miles east of Don Mills Road. on the Gormley- Stouffville Road. There is a parking fee of $1.50 for cars. Authority staff members will be collecting sap and making it into syrup by both the old- fashioned and modern methods, and pancakes and maple syrup will be available on weekends. The old-fashioned method of syrup making meant boiling large quantities of sap in a black, iron kettle over an open fire to evaporate most of the water and thicken the sap into syrup. About 40 gallons of sap must be boiled down to produce one gallon of syrup. A certain amount of ashes and smoke from the fire event- ually found its way into the boiling sap giving the syrup a darker than normal color and sometimes giving it an unusual flavor. Older persons familiar with this syrup claim it had a “stronger” flavour than mod- ern syrup as a result of being made in this way. The Deep River petition says these grants have not been changed since 1968. standing at $6,000 for municipalities with populations under 25,000. Further information on the authority’s syrup making activi- ties may be obtained by tele- phoning the administrative offices at 630-9780.
