AT ROTARY FRIDAY
Lucius E. Sayre, Tryon resident
and retired paper executive, gave
a comprehensive talk on the na
tion’s paper industry to Rotarians
at Oak Hall on Friday. Many
hearers called it “one of the best
talks before the club in many a
day.”
According to Mr. Sayre, the first
paper was made by the Chinese in
the first century and in less than
2,000 years has achieved its pres
ent position fis-the nation’s fourth
industry in dollar volume. In fact,
23,000,000 tons of paper are used
in the United States each year.
The raw material of paper is
primarily wood pulp, with from
one to one and a half cords of
wood used to produce one ton of
paper. Thus, paper is the fourth
largest user of wood . . . following
raidroad ties, building materials
and furniture in that order. Mr.
Sayre said that during World
War II lumberjacks were removed
from the pulp wood forests but
that production of paner became so
reduced as a result that they were
returned to the job very quickly.
(The Government Printing Office
in Washington is the nation’s
largest _user of printing' papers,
according to Mr. Sayre. It also
holds the dubious distinction of
producing more scrap paper to the
paper manufacturers than any
other source. Paper used in U.
S. money by law is produced by
only one manufacturer, who is able
to maintain the secret and thus
deny a reasonable facsimile of the
real paper to counterfeiters with
a resultant safeguarding of our
economy.
Mr. Sayre praised Ernst Mahler,
