Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.

U CE S is the result of t \YO parts personality and one part brain . _l\.ny person who asserts 1 that he or she does not like to be lil\ed by • other people is eitl1er a liar or a freak. The highest ambit1on of every person is to maintain the respect of those 'vhose opinion he or she valuesA V/e all desire a personality which is pleasing to some other peopl e~ But in developing a pleasing personality we have to kno\v ftrst of all those qualities which are pleasing to other people. And here 've run into a difficulty. \Vhat is pleasing to one acquaintance may not be pleasing to another . In fact~ I have taken the trouble on many occasions to ask n1y friends to define ~rhat kind of per onality is pleasing to tbem. They always differ in some r espects : One lays stress upon goon looks, anothex upon a sense of humor, a third upon keenness of mind. On tbe other hand, there are a number of traits upon which they agree. F1·om many sou1·ces I have gathered a few fLtncla .. mental common qualities "'rhicl1 seem to me to be nec­essary in a pleasant personality. They comprise m.\' list; yours may be different. Neverthel ess~ I think you will agree ~~ith me that mjne is a good one . I am going to state these nve quaJities as ques tion ~, ;vh1ch you may ask yourselves about youl·selves.

(3) Ho\v much sense of humo1· and fun do you have ? If you do not have a sense of hun1.or jt is hard for you to develop it; but you can develop an enjoyn1ent of fun.

' T~lmH. E is a fan1iliar s tory told of a young lieuLenant vvho was recommended to Napoleon f or proinotiou because he had s hown excep-­tiona l courage and bravery in a battle a few days prev-ious. When the recomn1encla tion \vas made to t he Gen­eral he is said to h a ve expressed himself to this effect : "Great, bu t what did he do the next day?'' ~1:.any of us n1ight find a lesson in Napoleon 's doubt­f ul con1pliment to the young lieutenant. Nearly a ll of us ar e spasmodic in our ·good habits. We do not drive ourselves haTd enough, and when ·we let dov,'ll on the day following a victory, the victor y of t he day be­fore counts for nothing. Take the matter of savings, for instance; with a great number of us this is our most spasmodic habit. We cleny ourselves one week and put ·what we conside1· a good sun1 in our savings a ccount, and, in our enjoy ­ment of the gesture, we forg et to add anything the following \1eek and the \Veek after that. That con1- :fortable f eeling of self-denial lasts a long t ime! To be e ffective, savings must be systematic. One dollar a week regularly is far bett er t han the spasmod­ic t en ·when \Ve are in a sacTificing mood, because a sing le dollar at a t ime involves very little hardship and can mount to.quite a pile. The small victory over self­indulgence once a week is better in the long 1·un than the g t eat sacrjfice done ·with a noul'ish. · One of the steadiest and surest principles of savingg is ins urancE:!. Evety 1nan should take Gut as m uch in­s. urance to protect his fan1i1y as he can possibly handle without depriving h in 1self and them of the necessities of life.

The old man crossed in the twilight d.im, The sullen strea.m had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man,'' said a fellow-pilgrim near, "You are wasting your strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day, You never again will pass this way; You've crossed the chasm deep and wide; Why build you this bridge at even·' tide?" The builder lifted his old gray head.·- -.. "Good friend, in the path I have come," he said, '"There followeth after me t{)day A youth whose feet must pass this way, 'Ibis chasm that has been as naught to me, To that fair .. headed youth may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim- Good friend, I am building this bridge for him!" • • -By JOYCE KII ..
