ANTI-WASTE CAMPAIGN
The Junior Chamber of Commerce, Wellington, has organised an antiwaste campaign to educate the general public in the potentialities of used articles regarded by the householder as waste. Commenting on the various odds and ends of paper which were to be found in every home, the chairman (Mr R. H. Beaumont) said that householders should acquire the habit of regarding none of it as waste. Such things as the following were in keen demand by both the New Zealand and Australian paper mills;— Newspapers, catalogues, magazines, brown paper, periodicals, old letters, cardboard boxes, cartons (not waxed or greasy), old telephone directories price lists discarded calendars, old business aittl office books, old music, scrap cardboard cigarette packets, and even tram tickets. “ When a sufficiently large pile has been collected the housewife need merely send a message to the headmaster of the nearest school, who will send pupils along to collect it. The school will do the rest," said Mr Beaumont.
