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.

OUR DRINKING WATER SUPPLY The managen1ent of The Cha.mpion FibTe Company, ever mindful of the welfare of its employees, has just con1pleted the installation of eleven refrigerating units with nineteen fuuntains throughout the plant, thus pro­viding an adequate s upply of properly cooled ru·i,nl<ing- . water at conveniently located places. During the past several years we have been using the Jewel water coolers with ice. They were very good but, required a great deal of attention, and usually the wa­ter was too cold. With the Pl'"esent modern method of refrigeration an abundant supply of water at the right temperature js provided for everyone. We are very grateful to the management for the im­provement in the drinking 'vater supply, because it is more healthful than water which is too cold. Water is of the utn1ost i.mpo1·tance to our health. Physicians tell us that we should drink plenty of it­about two o1· three quarts eve1·y day, but it sholl.ld not be too cold, as it may interfere with digestion and Pl"'O­duce a disordered condition of the stomach. With our present method of refrjgeration, the ten1pe1·ature of the water is e1ectrically controlled and kept at aboui fifty degrees Fahrenheit. Mowen and his wife had run short of conve1·sation. To supply the time between that nnd bedtime Mowen said: uwifey, how al·e you on crosswo1·ds ?" Wifey 1'1 guess that T can hold n1y own.

The general tept ~r,c~· in all plants is to be satisfied N.ith conditions and methods as they are. because they apr-arentJy have proved satisfactory. 1,o iHu~trate the fanac)r of this posit1on; we have a1way been to1d of the efficiency of the bees; and we \Yere pretty ~veU s(itisfied with their honey and the \Vay the. n1ade it, but c:ome years ago a Congregational11in­ist r; Lorenzo Lr r.gc:t!'oth began to think and study bees. Mr. Knoppc1 1n a recent article tells us that he studied their haba~. th€i aetions and particularly their re nl s •.. He found them to be much less efficient than had been clain·1ed for 1Jees. He set about to better their work. as he figured they spent too n1uch tin1e and honey in maldng '''aX; that ther raised too many drones : and that the h.abjt of swarming was a disturbing element in the rn~nufacture of honey. He made boxes frorn ·h)eh the honey could be 1·emoved without disturbing the beet). They '''ere n1ade ·with such precision that t!u:y actuaibr 1·egulated the habits of the bees, din1i­nishing and eontroJ}jng the number ()f dl'ones and doing a1way \·ith the swarming. These ne'v hi v:es a.re now used by bee keepers all over ·he wo Jd and the quantity of honey per bee has been w..aterially increase-d. This story of the imprlJVement in the manufacture GLADYS Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Z. Mann. of honey is one that ·we will do well to keep before us in our daily worl<, here we had a man who lmew noth­ing about bees but whose thinking taught the bees son1ething ne\V. · Likewise in any industrial plant if by serious think­ing and careful study the raw materi~ls and time used uselessly can be lessened, the nun1ber of drones reduced and swarming done away with; the production per \VOl'­ker will be increased and our production methods im­proved. Cannot we analyze our methods and our processes and "seek a better way" as did this Congregational Minister? T.o continue obsolete methods simply be­cau~ e they have been satisfactory is folly. This plant is today where some one's thoughts have brought it; and it wHL be to11101Tow where our thoughts take jt. No one man's thin1dng brought it to its pre­sent development nol' will any one Jnan's thinking cause it to continue its progress. The devoting of the spare titne of many of its em­p1oyees1 who are familiar wilh its con1plicated process, to thinking and seeking "A Retter Way," is what it will take to enable us to keep our place in the front ranks of the indu.~tr.v aud at no iin1e is it so in1po-rtant to seek better way. than now when bus iness is dull. • l 6 THE LOG --~--~~--------------~--~~----~--~~~~~------~-----~~~-----~~----~--~--._-- --·~-- OUR VISITORS The men in the picture above, visited our plant recently.

We consider certain things hazard­ous because danger t o person or p1·operty is involved. :A1ental hazards are perhaps the most dangerous, yet, many of us do not realize it. A rnental hazard is an obst acle \Vhich the mind er ects and is very difficu1t to overcon1e. Jn fact quite often a mentaJ hazard may destroy alJ resistance on our pal"'t to (Jverco1ne either eal or in1aghHn·y trouble. , which may eventually lead to ha1 n 1. A slvry is told that~ a cert~l in nwn, '" ho had su f­fered fot· a long time with scve1 e pairts jn h i~ sto1nach, jnlagint~d tl1at, while ddnld 1•g \Vi1ter J e ]tiu.l swa llu\vcd a snttkc, sn1HlJ at first, but as it grew Jarg 'r in his stomaclJ, ca tli;Pd intc•1·, ~d r a Vetg •.:~ of \'hi · h h ) 1 ·It. hi u\­self Hk~J y to .;t on die.

Aft<•r a carefu l ~utd CCJi n p l t · \J.:H ti ,; t iur of~ the sick rnan, the doctor, r ealizing t hat the man's trouble was In ore mental than phy ·ical, said to him, "1 am not sure, but it is possibJe that you a re right, you mftY have a snake in your stomach, however, I believe t hat · r can give you medicine Lhat \Vill destroy it." After giving the patient ce.t."tain medj cin e~ that inrluced him to vomit f r eely, a sn1all snake which bad been pre­viously placed in the vessel in \vhich ihe sick man had vomited, was hown him, the invalid \Vas immediately r elieved and within a short period of time \Vas en­joying good health. Perhaps the Jarge1· per cent of our physical ailment is the result of our mental attitude. :\lental hazards which the mind has erected quite often baffle the skill of the most lea1·ned physicians and physicalJy wreck and ruin men and 'Nomen \Vho \Vere once strong and healthy. It is so easy to get the wrong "slant" on lif e, Jose faith, imagine things that are not tr·ue, t hus erect mental hazards which are injurious and cause a great deal of trouble. If 'Ne think stl'aigh t \Ve \vill act straight, but, crooked thinking zneans crooked doing . Therefore, Vl e should cultivate the right attitude to­wards ou1· neighbors, our fellow-·workers. our employe1·, our job and company policy. The 1·igh t attit ude re­moves mental hazards lifts the burden from our \Vork makes life happier and each of us bet ter employees . • • • POOR BURGLAR "Just think: \Vhile I was out \vith some of the • fello\vs the other night, a bur glar broke into our hou e."

If the P<Jles need to be painted for preservation, they should be compelled to put a guard around th~ so people '-Vould not ruin their clothes. I, myself rubbed against jt and had to send my suit to th€ cleaners. Those dangerous poles a1·e put almost in the middle of the side-walks and you can't help bump­ing into them. • .

Not too bad in the daytime, but after it get..s darl<. We surely need son1e uetter ~ ~ reet lights. l t looks like n eros~ bel ween late twi­light. pitch dark and early dawn. Yes, you ate right Joe. It .surely don't look like the second largest city at night. 1 came near breaking m.v leg the other night, when 1 fell at the overhead bridge. You know they ru·e doing some repairs and have it blocked off~ all but the side·walk and they have that torn up partly and then connected with the regular sidewalk by a piece of plank, and that's just a bout the darkest place in town. We surely have· no right to be proud of the \•.ray Canton is lit up at njgb t. It looks more lil{e the twenty tllird largest town instead of the second. . Well, Bill, some day they n1ay develop a burnp of civic pride big enough to do son<tethjng. \Ve surely have one bright spot at least now, and that's the Ton1 Thumb Golf Cour.se. You ever played there Bill? You bet l have J oe, and it suxely is lots of fun and son1e real good sport. Its a fine exercise after a heaYy n1eal. I reckon it is. Son1e of the boys and gn·Is al'e pretty good at it. The othe1· night I watched Freen1an and Macintyre playing and believe me they surely know how. It certainJy is a fine place to spend an hour or so for any one, old or young. By the way, Bill, did you know they elected Clyde Hildebrand President of the Foremans' Club? Yes, I know they did. He surely should n1ake a good man for it. That's what I say, If Clyde takes a job Jike that, he n1akes good at it. Yes, but I tell you Joe, he's got to go some to beat Martin who had it for the last year, and Slaughter of course is re-elected as Secreta1·y, Sure thing, they could not flnd a better one for that job and they a ll know it, so they are only too glad to have Slaughter take it again. And speaking .. of new J>residents, Bill, I see vvhere they eJeeted 1\!lay 1-Ioltz­claw President of the Business Cil'l's Club. Checked and double chee){ed, I say. Just the right girl for it. If she don~t n1ra.ke that club hum some, then I miss my guess. Tell me Bill, what do you t hir1k of the li.Lst n1onth's HLog ?"

In plants like that a man don't feel like putting half a ton of coal in the cella1· for the winter or plant his garden in the spring, because he does not kno"· from one day to the next whether he will be fired before the day is over. Let me tell )rou one case I know of myself. Jim \Vas about forty-five years old and had \vorked for the san1e company since he left school. That means about thirty years. He i:s a Sul­phite cook. One day, without fault of his, the acid in the digester ran over a little. One of the miserable creatures Vlho always glory in the misfortune of their • fello~'!Tlen every mill has son1e of them told the lo-cal manager about it, who then sent for the Sulphite Supt. and ordered him to fire poor Jim at once. The Supt. explained the smallness of the offence and the long faithful service of Jin1, showing that the punish­ment was not fitting the crime at a ll, but the angry and stubborn Nianagel' \vould not change his mind, not until the Supt. told hin1 that he '.vould have to get anoth ei' man in his place to fil'e Jim. ~"fhn t is the only thing that ~aved poor Jim.
