More Paper Salvage

Needed Mr. Judd, British Controller of Salvage. Ministry of Supply. who!s appealing to housewives to make greater efforts to save everything useful for the war, gave some encouraging figures of what they have already achieved. Last year, he said. the housewives of Britain had helped to save forty shiploads of paper and enough metal to build 16.000 tanks. More waste paper must be récovered for shell and food containers: During the last war there was a great clearance of office papers (some of them. unfortunately. of historic value). of books, magazines. and so on. These are more urgently needed today. Old torch batteries are also wanted.
