WASTE RUBBER
IT will come as some encouragement to the public to learn that the National Council for the Reclamation of Waste has prepared a bulletin setting out the "policy" under which rubber will be systematically collected throughout New Zealand. This suggests that the day of haphazard salvage of valuable waste material has passed, and that, in future, there will be constant incentive to the people to save and prepare for collection all disused articles containing rubber or other needed substances. For many weeks after the first successful "drive" in Whakatane for scrap rubber a large pile of it lay, apparently untouched, where it was dumped by the collecting lorries. As week followed week many citizens who noticed this undiminished pile began to ask themselves whether the collected rubber had been forgotten. No doubt there was good reason for the delay in disposing of the scrap. This being so an explanation should be given. Nothing is more likely to undo the good of salvage propaganda than the unexplained sight of collected material lying in bulk,, unused.
