cloth shortages forced both

paper sheets had to be used for

paper sun hats. When these head

toddlers, had served their pur-

used for writing letters and
keeping accounts.

The first paper uniforms.
made of brown paper back in

as cloth--with almost smooth
rubber-like feel.
These paper uniforms are worn
over regular linen uniforms, and
are tied from behind with strings.
They are particularly popular
with visiting nurses who risk
contact with different diseases
in their daily rounds. After a
few visits the garment can be
discarded for a fresh one. II is
estimated that today, 500 visit

a million calls wearing such

guard against carrying germs,
