I remember collecting aluminum foil at that time and I'm sure that's what the "silver paper" was. There was a shortage of metals due to the war and everyone was to collect aluminum foil for the war effort. I remember in the first or second grade a veteran came to class to show something that was used by nurses for injured soldiers.. I imagine it was some kind of ointment in an soft aluminum tube. This was to get us to collect the aluminum. This happened in Wichita, Kansas, but I imagine it happened all over the country.
