TELL WHAT TODO
WITH OLD WASTE

For the beneft Of District citizens
who doubt the economy of saving old
papers around the house to exchange
for thrift stamps with the junk man,
the District committee in charge of
the local thrift campaign, has pre-
pared the following facts regarding
waste paper:
Old magazines, books, stationery,
ETC., are used in making books, writ
ing, and other forms of paper.
Paper that comes around purchases
at the store is made over again into
new paper, cardboard, cartons, paper
boxes, paper bags, etc.
One hundred pounds Of old maya
zine paper will make eighty pounds
Of new paper.
One hundred pounds Of soft white
paper shavings will make ninety
pounds of new paper.
Den and a half million tons of
book and writing paper were made
last year from old paper.
One hundred pounds Of old folded
newspapers will make eighty-hve
pounds of new paper box board.
Two and a half million tons Of
various kinds of paper box board
were made last year from old papers.
Economy in the use of paper will
release vast quantities which are
urgently needed.
A pound of paper wasted means
from one to three pounds Of coal
wasted.
