Default There may not have been rationing of Paper

But there is also little doubt that paper was a demand item by our government during WW2

Here is one internet site I found with a story about a paper drive

And here is another link about Dayton, Ohio and a paper Drive

I'm sure there are more.

Frank is technically correct about no rationing of paper; however, there was a dedicated effort to "recycle" paper; long before that concept gained ecological popularity
