69-195. The political leaders, including the officials of the party's divisions, are so overburdened with the task of caring for the people that they too can not be used for collective action. There is therefore no doubt that the collection of waste and waste material has not been continued under any circumstances in the present form. The planning of the war-related recording of waste and waste materials. I. Ongoing recording. The numerical decline in the stock of waste collectors is at present so enormous in some areas that the disappearance of the collector's status must be expected shortly, because the collector no longer finds his livelihood in his current profession. In the case of the small amount of nut left to the old material collector in the exercise of his activity today, he can no longer be expected to have the time to visit each household regularly at least once a month to ask about the individual waste and waste materials there. Apart from this, in most areas there are 3. Zt. no longer available to collectors in sufficient numbers. Since the collection of all old and waste materials in the war is of extraordinary importance for the supply of raw materials to our economy, the collecting activity needs to be carried out by the whole people to the greatest extent. The commercial recording cannot be dispensed with even during the war. The old material collector must be helped as much as possible by not making unnecessary ways and finding his bread through rational recording in his profession. This is due to the creation of centrally located pre-gathering tables, which are continuously filled against weather conditions, and which are filled by the waste collectors regel- Pba ua b For these purposes, schools are ideally suited, which have already been able to achieve fairly good results in the field of the collection of waste and waste materials. Just as today the school child brings the bones from the household to school, in the future the school kid will continue to bring the following old and waste materials from the parental and the neighbouring household, in which a school child is not available, to the school for delivery: a) daily the newspaper (also the specialized newspaper and illustrated newspaper), b) fabric waste, fabric residues, unusable clothing pieces and other rag material, c) iron and metal parts, provided these are not too heavy and can be transported without danger in weight, d) bottle capsules, foils and tubes, e) corks. The schools usually have spacious cellars, which protect the collection material from rotting due to adverse weather conditions. The management of the material in the school's pre-gathering site is a teacher's responsibility. The school arranges with the responsible obligatory agent whose name and address is to be found by the old material officer of the business office, the dates of the collection of the material. The agent will in turn ensure a regular and punctual emptying of the school pre-collection points by his collectors.
