Continued from PAGE Onc)

and Paper section Of the War In
dustries board announced today
that his section would undertake
shortly a general publicit,, campaign
for economy Of all kinds OF paper.
the purpose being to educate the
consuming public to the Importance
of conservation as a war measure
This new work has been placed in
charge of II. L. o. Merchant, a.
in charge Of the paper Investigations
Of the Federal Trade committee.
Paper has been so cheap and plent-
iful in the past that the limit real
lied it's value but war conditions de-
mand a prompt and radical change
in the habits of the consumers, and
the members of the pulp and paper
section are confident that when the
consuming public is shown the rea-
son and necessity Of such change
they will respond to the appeal for
conservation as they have done to
the various other appeals made by
the government.
1T is the intention Of the paper
section with the cooperation Of the
daily press to show how the de-
mands Of the government for var
ious kinds Of paper and various
chemicals and other materials used
in paper making are increasing rap
idly and how every pound OF paper
wasted represents not only the waste
of valuable materials such as coal,
pulp, chemicals, etc, but also waste
