County supports war effort with waste paper drives
Lake County residents could provide enough waste paper for about 90 850 "suits or armor" for 105 mm shells if they save roughly 10 pounds monthly. The 105 mm shells aid Allied advances toward Berlin and Tokyo. Last year per capita paper savings reached 10 612 pounds, enough for about 35 containers. Each container requires about three pounds of waste paper and uses materials like ammunition container board from mixed paper and old boxes, and tube and cane stock.
