Hikers and their sponsors The case of those 66,260 Manitoba eggs, © confiscated from retail outlets in ‘the Kootenays, became thoroughly secambiod Thursday. B.C. egg marketing board has selzed 4,605 dozen eggs from F & W Wholesale of Trail, which owns ‘five in- dependent Super-Valu stores in the Kootenays, Executive secretary of the board, Ed Morgan, said the egga were seized because they were not purchased through a licensed agent of the board, Mrs. Esther Wood, a 1 for F & W, sald the outdid . | in ralsing such a large amount of money considering that just 200 hikers participated. and a shorter distance than usual for such hikes was covered. : Merchants donated gen- erously and people came from eggs were brought in for her company’s stores in Nelson, Trail, Grand Forks, Rossland and Castlegar.

She‘ said the eggs were bought for nine cents a dozen cheaper in Manitoba than they could have been purchased in B.C, Value of the seizure was estimated at $3,000. Mr. Morgan said he will consult the board’s lawyer today to “make sure scab eggs are kept out of B.C." ‘He said the board has brought stability to the egg industry in B.C. and Agricul- ture Minister Dave Stupich has pledged support to the market- ing board system, Mr. Morgan also pointed out that Super-Valu Stores Ltd., itself operates its own egg processing plant. The B.C. egg marketing board, which seized the eggs and brought them to the Lower Mainland, has now sold them to its agency at B.C. prices but the poultry division of the Canada Department .of Agriculture’ (CDA) won't inspect the eggs. Confiscated Eggs Ends. Ue in a legal Scramble Because of this, the board says they won't offer the eggs for sale on the retail market until they know their actual ‘ade and age. er “We had planned to offer the eggs for sale on the retail market but the CDA refused to inspect them," he said. “There are no markings on the cartons to indicate the eggs have been inspected, In fact, nothing Is there to show they are up to grade or to guarantee that they are fresh.” John Raffa, area super- visor for the CDA_ poultry division said: “I have discussed the situation with Mr. Morgan and told him there are two routes for the eggs. They can either go to an egg breaking plant or to the fresh market, If they go to the breaking plant there is no need to inspect them,” However Mr. Raffa was not clear on what would be done if the eggs are offered for sale on the retail market. “I have told Mr. Morgan we would inspect them at the retail end,” he said. But when told the egg marketing board wanted them inspected before reaching the retail market, he added that inspection could only. be done if “there i isa question about their quality.” Meanwhile, the Manitoba government has apparently adopted a wait-and-sec ap- proach to the egg seizure. Agriculture Minister Sam Uskiw > told the legislature Thursday he has been in touch with officials in B.C., and it has not yet been determined whether the seizure was legal. No complaint could be registered if the Manitoba eggs had been imported in violation of B.C. law unless the law is in conflict with the constitution, he said.
