1 Whelan to limit egg imports? OTTAWA (CP) Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan said he was prepared to restrict egg imports from the United States again if the Canadian egg industry succeeds in getting its affairs in order. He made this commitment Thursday in a speech to the annual meeting of the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency (CEMA), a producer-run organization that has been in trouble almost since it was founded nearly two years ago. "I'm prepared to protect the border and I won't have any trouble with my colleagues," he said. Canada imported about six million dozen eggs from the U.S. last year while, at the time, it exported 13 million dozen, a seemingly strange set of circumstances that results mainly from price differences in the two countries.

The exports are mostly for processing while the imports are destined mainly for table consumption. Restrictions on U.S. egg imports, imposed last May in an attempt to protect Canadian producers against low prices, were lifted in September when American prices rose. These restrictions--and any contemplated by Mr. Whelanwere imposed under federal changes in the Import and Ex- port Permits Act, which allows the government to block entry of any food product that threatens to undercut domestic prices.

The agriculture minister's offer to CEMA Thursday is predicated on the agency and the provinces getting a firm grip on production that already has Taber gets water supply improvement EDMONTON (CP) The water supply system for Taber, in Southern Alberta, will be improved at a cost of $1.2 million under a joint agreement announced Thursday by the federal and provincial governments. The work will include construction of a 200-million-gallon raw storage reservoir southwest of the town. A 16- inch diameter force main and a 21-inch diameter gravity main, with pumps, will carry the water to treatment facilities in town. Treatment facilities and storage capacity for treated water also will be expanded. The work will be financed by Canada, half as a grant and half as a loan to the province.

been trimmed by 10 per cent from the original 1975 projected total of 475 million dozen eggs. "We have too many chickens laying too many eggs," Mr. Whelan said, adding that unless producers do something about it, "I'm in an impossible He said the three-day CEMA meeting, which ended Thursday and which included a session with provincial agriculture ministers, seems to have put the agency on the road to success. "It's important that we do everything we can to make sure CEMA stays alive, but how to make it stay alive is the thing that has not been answered yet." Mr. Whelan brought up the fact that CEMA, which buys surplus eggs from the provincial marketing boards, was foreed to destroy 2.5 million dozen that went bad in storage last year.

He did not want it to happen again. "You can be sure that I'll do nearly anything to make sure that that doesn't happen," although he would consider, "only as a last resort, the government running the business." The agency, after consultation with provincial representatives, proposed, among other things, to penalize Alberta will intervene in Last Tango hearing intervene hearing mouth lawyers, Robert Murrant and Derek Jones, have advised him that other provinces and possibly the federal government will intervene on Nova Scotia's side. He said the civil liberties group will take his side in the high court hearing, expected to be held in May. ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION LEGION BRANCH 35 ENTERTAINMENT EVERY FRI. SAT.

RED DEER INN registered egg producers who do not comply with new rules that will be in effect by the end of April. CEMA has decided that all provinces must accept restrictions on the number of laying hens, the actual number being set by the farm products marketing council within six weeks. If producers in individual provinces do not fall into line, the provincial board would have to pay CEMA $1 a month for each hen over the quota. There also would be a payment of 50 cents a dozen for over-production in eggs. Mr.

Whelan said it is vital that CEMA succeed because other agricultural commodity groups are watching the experiment, including beef producers. As proof of CEMA's success, he noted that the average price producers receive for a dozen eggs has increased to 60.2 cents in 1974 from 53.8 cents in 1973 and 28.6 cents in 1970.

New natural gas line to B.C. gets approval emergency short-term sale of natural gas to the United States will result in the construction of a new gas transmission link Alberta and British Columbia.

The sale, approved this week by regulatory bodies in Canada and the United States, will require construction of facilities in the Alberta Gas Trunk Line (AGTL) system in Alberta, and the Westcoast Transmission Co. system in British Columbia, an AGTL official said Thursday. The regulatory agencies approved the export of up to 55 million cubic feet a day of Alberta natural gas for prices ranging from an average of $1.61 a thousand cubic feet to a maximum of $1.91. The contract is for 19 months beginning next Oct. 1.

The price compares with the standard border price of $1 a thousand cubic feet set last year by the national energy board for all natural gas exports. A board spokesman said the higher price was permitted because of production shortages in British Columbia. The AGTL spokesman said 12-inch diameter pipeline to be laid from the Worsley area in Northwestern Alberta. The cost of the line will be about $2.5 million.

John J.

Scott, 66, of Las Vegas, father of Jack Scott, said in a statement issued by his lawyer: "My wife Louise and I stand behind Jack. We are sure that he will be vindicated in the end." The FBI is seeking the younger Scott, a radical critic of the sports establishment, to question him about the whereabouts of Miss Hearst, her fellow Symbionese Liberation Army members William and Emily Harris, and a fourth person believed to be with them. It has been reported that Jack Scott, former athletic director at Oberlin College in Ohio, and his wife, Micki, may have been with Miss Hearst and others in a remote Pennsylvania farmhouse last fall. No charges have been laid against any of the Scotts. Doron Weinberg, the elder Scott's lawyer, said his client refused to answer questions because "he has no information" on the whereabouts of his son or Miss Hearst and the jury has no right to "traipse through people's lives." Scott was the only witness subpoenaed by the grand jury investigating the case of Miss Hearst, daughter of Randolph A.

A court official said Thursday that Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta have served notice that they will intervene in the hearing which is centred on the Nova Scotia censor board's banning of the film Last Tango in Paris in February, 1974. The official said the Canadian Civil Liberties Association is expected to give notice of its intention to intervene today and that other governments may take similar action. The case has attracted attention across the country because it could give individual citizens new rights to challenge the decisions of government bodies. The dispute was started by Gerard McNeil of Ottawa, a reporter in the Ottawa bureau of The Canadian Press, who is seeking court approval to continue an action against the Nova NEW BUSINESS HOURS Monday through Thursday open 6:30 a.m. until 2 a.m.; Friday and Saturday open 6:30 a.m.

BEYOND JURISDICTION He then started an action in Nova Scotia courts seeking a declaration that the provincial legislation allowing the board to ban certain films was beyond the jurisdiction of the legislature. The provincial government argued that, as a private citizen, Mr.

McNeil had no right to bring such an action against a provincial board. The government claimed action could only be taken by theatre managers, film or distributors or others with a direct interest in the banning of Last Tango in Paris. Both the trial judge and the provincial court of appeal upheld Mr. McNeil's right to proceed and the province then appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. Mr.
