Delivery of Manifoba Eggs
Catches B.C. Board Off Guard

The B.C. Egg Marketing
Board, caught off-guard by the
arrival of 11,840 Manitoba eggs
in Trail, has decided, in the
present case, to let well enough
alone.

According to manager Ed
Morgan, the board doesn't plan
to confiscate the latest ship-
ment. He said the shipment was
too small to affect the price
structure of B.C. eggs.

The shipment, accompan-
ied by Winnipeg egg dealer. Bob
Feldman, rolled into Trail
Sunday evening: and the eggs
went on sale in Super-Valu
Monday.

The marketing board, des-
pite advance warning by Mr.
Feldman, did not have an
inspector on hand when the
eggs arrived because, in the
wards of Mr. Morgan, the board
was not convinced the Winni-

peg dealer would “telegraph his
intentions to the media”.

“This is a fundamental
issue as I see it,” said Mr.
Feldman. “I am not concerned
about the loss of a few thousand
dollars in seized eggs. I am
much more concerned about
having one Canada and not 10
autonomous provinces.”

A previous effort to bring
in eggs resulted in the Egg
Board seizing 55,000 of them at
a cost of $3,000 to Mr. Feldman.

Ross Ramage, an egg
producer from Baldur, Man.,
accompanied Mr. Feldman into
Trail with the latest shipment.
Mr. Ramage said he would like

to keep his eggs coming to the -

B.C. market.

He said Manitoba now
five million eggs more
