WRAPPING PAPER
BUTCHERS CONCERNED AT SHORTAGE
WORSE. THAN DURING WAR
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Aug. 6. After repeated representations on the matter of paper supplies, this subject was further discussed at a meeting of the New Zealand Master Butchers’ Association. Grave concern was expressed at the lack of satisfactory supplies of brown wrapping paper and it was reported that in some districts butchers had been forced to use newspapers and odd scraps of paper for wrapping. In some instances even the supplies 01. newsprint were exhausted. The association, in a statement on the matter, said .it appeared that unless adequate supplies were forthcoming immediately, customers would have to be agked to bring their own wrapping paper or containers to the butchers’ shops. In the interests of public health it was to be hoped that the manufacturers of paper and the transport authorites would confer find remedy die present deplorable conditions, winch by comparison were now worse than during the war period.
