USE OF FEWER EGGS REQUESTED
(United Press Association) WELLINGTON, February 21. “If housewives would be satisfied with a smaller supply of eggs, and substitute meat and fruit for eggs, then the adjustment would be helpful to the Dominion’s war effort,” said the Minister of Marketing, the Hon. J. G. Barclay, today. The Minister said the egg supply situation was at present in no way abnormal. At this time, he added, production was falling off, and prices had necessarily to advance. Mr Barclay added that it was to be hoped that housewives would bear in mind the fact that at present unusual quantities of eggs were required for the armed forces, and that they would refrain from forcing up prices still further by an insistent demand for usual household supplies.
