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
