A problem today: it takes paper - paper to every nook and cranny of everyday life and just paper is missing in every nook and cranny. The paper shortage existing in almost every country is particularly acute in Germany, because four other important things are in short supply: coal, transport, wood and labor. You need coal for example 1 1/2 tons, to produce a ton of paper.
Economy and industry, budget and culture - are but dependent on continuous paper deliveries. A manufacturing faces rising demand, which is only about 35% of the pre war production. The solution to the problem is essentially a task of the German administration. The difficulty of this task stems from the fact that there are 65 types of use for paper products.
One of the most important, the procurement of school books and booklets, is it particularly bad. Puny emergency remedies difficult teaching and education.
In other areas, there is an often surprising freedom of movement of the paper consumption.
Insufficient paper production forces to a possible intensive recycling of waste paper. The more waste paper to the production hike back, the faster the most sensitive defects can solve yourself.
You give as abundant as possible waste paper about collecting points, and it will rise again and again new paper from it: an indispensable factor of daily life.

The Paper Shortage

One of the most urgent problems is the lack of schoolbooks, and this department looks very bad. There is in turn an extraordinary waste of paper in other branches. The shortage in paper production forces a most careful collection of scrap paper. So everybody is urged to collect as much old paper as possible so new paper will be made.
