President Ben Burkholder ex
plained that there may be a time
when the Pennsylvania industry
will be interested in taking ad
vantage of the Commodities Act.
Before action can take place,
basic rules must be established,
and in order to provide this in
formation a committee made up
of Sam Berenson chairman.
John Wenger, Tom Smith, and
R. W. Sauder were named.
President Burkholder expects
this committee to go into action
soon, as there is a great deal of
information to be prepared.
K. M. Souders gave a special
report on his attendance at a
meeting in Las Vagas. He
stated that a Mr. Stein from
Maine was chairman of the meet
ing, and charged the group with
the facts that something must
be done about the supply of
poultry and eggs, and bankers
must be alerted to check more
closely before making loans for|
industry expansion “Mr. Stein
suggested that, the Wall Street
Journal and Bankers publica
tions should be approached to
carry the message”. (
“Further suggestions were
that, fowl should be removed as
a result of an option signed by
a producer, or eggs must be re
moved, and should go to break
ers”
“Organizations present were
Neeme, Swep, Neco, Western
Egg Co. and a Mid Western
group with a splendid represen
tation from California.”
“The objectives as set forth
were 1 Communications. 2
Market Paiticipation and Infor
mation, 3—Consumer Informa
tion, 4—Legislation”.
“In order to finance the activ
ity of the new National organ
ization, named UNITED' EGG
PRODUCERS, INC., it was esti
mated that five (5) cents per
case from participants may be
needed There was a definite
conclusion that, the new organ
ization will go ahead, and at
tempt to avoid any situation that
may cause market erosion, as
well as develop an effection long
and short reporting system”.
“Tom Smith of Cloisterdale
Farms has been appointed to
the Organizational Steering
Committee of the new organiza
tion, and will plan to attend
meetings and keep PEMA
members informed As a matter
of fact, the group requested Tom
Smith to represent PEMA at a
Chicago meeting.”
It was properly moved,
seconded, and carried that K.
M. Souders will continue to
represent PEMA at the National
level
“John Wenger reported that
the reorganization committee
for Pennsylvania has a stiong
feeling that a united voice
would assist the industry in
legislative matters It is estimat
ed that a Board of Directors
made up of three members, for
a total of 25 - 30 members, from
each suppoiting organization
would decide the destiny of the
industry, with one or two meet
ing annually”. “In between-reg
ular Board meetings Executive
Committee meetings would be
held at regular and special
Matting Minutes
dustry. Some consideration is
being given to a name change.
An effort is being made to sell
400 tickets for the January
banquet at $9O each to raise
funds for the Federation opera
tion".
