He said he had already found out that the “drip” from fro- zen fish which caused it to be ra- ther dry when thawed was not af- fected by rapidity of freezing but more by the temperature at which the fish was held after it was fro- zen. Keeping the fish at zero tem- peratures when stored lessened the drip. By preper’ insulation this could be accomplished without any very greatly ineredsed cost. In Liv- erpool'a new cold’storage plant was planned to overcome the trouble “To illustrate what he was driv- jing at Dr. Finn took a sheet of tin | foil from a packet of cigarette (Don still smokes Canadian cigar ettes even though he has lived i England two years) and asked m¢ to press it on my hand.
