I'm Is Northeast Areas

With waste paper collections
scheduled tomorrow in 13 North
east areas, the q. c. Salvage Com
mittee today moved to correct an
erroneous impression on the part of
some residents that all paper placed
in the trash is salvaged. Paper to
be salvaged must be bundled and
left on front porches for volun-
teer workers to collect or else 1t is
lost.
Horace Walker, executive secretary
Of the committee. said he thought
many persons had confused tin can
collections with waste paper. Tin
cans are collected when left for the
trashman, but not paper. Paper left
in the trash usually becomes too
soiled to be reclaimed.
MIR. Walker pointed out that paper
saved directly helps householders,
for Chairman Donald Nelson of the
War Production Board recently
stated that "newsprint supply and
ALLEGATIONS for civilian needs are
directly related to waste paper re-
ceipts the more waste paper
collected for paperboard production
the less pulpwood diverted from the
production of newsprint."'
A total Of 479, ,408 pounds of pa
per has been collected in Northeast
and the committee is hoping this
will be substantially increased to-
morrow.
