Waste aperC COLLECTED
In July Forecasts
Success in Campaign
Solvoge Unit Expects 1
Homes TO Supply Bulk
OF Needed Material

Figures on waste collection in the
District last month, which included
8,249,2 ,294 pounds of paper, indicate
drive launched by the D. c. Salvage
Committee.
A total OF 44,5O3 900 pounds of
paper was collected in the first six
months of last year during the first
drive staged by the committee, but
the figure dropped approximately
0,000,0 900 in the last half after the
campaign ended.
Homes May Yield Bulk.
Collections for the first six months
of 1943 amounted to 33.484 900
pounds, figure Horace Walker, ex-
ecutive secretary. said the commit
tee hoped to top by substantial
margin.
The major portion of paper must
come from private homes and in
dividuals. the committee believes.
Increased demand for waste at the
paper mills was reflected in activity
among dealers who intensified their
efforts to obtain paper from stores
and merchants. Collections in this
vein are now about at peak but the
homes are expected to provide a
large quantity. Many homes have
saved paper since the first drive, ac-
cumulating upwards of 200 pounds
in Easements, where it has remained
when pick-ups stopped.
Collection Is Problem.
The committee today mailed let
ters to salvage area organizations,
calling on them to set up plans for
collections in their areas immedi-
ately. Collections are expected to
be big problem this time because
of the shortage of manpower and
trucks. The committee has suggested
that arrangements be made for de-
pots throughout the area where in
dividuals might bring their paper
and where trucks could collect it in
the least time and with minimum
use of gasoline and trucks.
The public is requested to save
corrugated boxes. brown paper
newspapers and magazines during
the drive. Collections will be ham

tees, civic associations. business

organizations and others.
