Step Is Temporary;
Students Urged to
Continue Drive

A temporary oversupply in certain
types of waste paper has brought
about congestion at paper mills
which yesterday necessitated a re-
duction in the price for paper COL
lected at the schools in The Evening
Star-P.-T. A. Salvage for Victory
campaign
The Penn Paper 81 Stock Co..
which picks up the paper gathered
by the school children, announced
that, starting with this weeks col
lections, the price for newspaper,
for the time being, must be reduced
to IS cents a hundred pounds in
stead of 60 cents, the price which
prevailed up until this week. The
price of 80 cents a hundred for
magazines will be retained, there
being still q sharp demand for this
type of paper.
Situation Is Temporary.
Robert o. Ball. manager for Penn
Paper. declared yesterday that his
company still desires all of the
newspapers and magazines which
the schools can produce and eau
toned against any loss of interest
in the campaign because of situa-
tion which is temporary.
Baled waste paper. which requires
sorting, has taxed the facilities of
many of the mills in this section
Of the country, but tie sorted news
papers and magazines collected by
the children can be handled with
out delay and thus 60 quickly into
the mills for the production of card
board and corrugated paper.
Mr.. Ball stated that as soon as
the mills increase the price they
pay this increase will be passed on
to the schools.
Shortage May Develop.
Since the outset of the campaign
the schools have received the top
price which is usually paid for paper
delivered to the warehouse. Be-
cause of the quantity gathered at
the schools the Penn Paper Co. has
absorbed the collection costs The
schools thus have for nearly five
months received favored treatment.
The schools participating in the
campaign are making plans now to
