From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, January 28: The paper shortage has produced higher prices for waste paper and those once glad to give it away to the Salvation Army are now collecting it to sell to junk men. As a result paper collection by the Salvation Army has fallen off nearly one-third meaning less money for the Salvation Army Industrial Home at 205 W. Pearl St, and less opportunity for it to extend aid to the “down and outers.” Seven to ten tons of waste paper used to be collected each week and sold to paper mills. Now the Salvation Army is running short two tons a week since the agitation for paper saving began aggressively last summer. Wages at the industrial home have been cut as well as food for the unfortunates all because of the scarcity of paper.
