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.

Originally, New Bern was the name of a district or township in Craven County. Later the name applied to the toW'FL or eoun ty seat only. . Craven County was named for William Lord Craven, one of the original Lords Proprietors of · Cal''oHna which embraced the territory or region from Virginia to F lor ida, and from the Atlantic t(} the Pacific Oceans, covered by the charter or grant of Charles II, King of England.

It is supported by a g;ood agricultural baekground, ideal for a div:e!l':;sity of c:r·ops. It is o.nl.' forty miles from the Atlantic coast, connected b.y the · euse river and Pamlico Sound, affording a splendid channel for vvater transportation to d0me tic and f.oreign ports. At one time it was quite a shipping center with boat plying between New Betn and foreigJJ. lands. It is ...,.aid that the first boat built in North Carolina wa, burlt there. OR top of several buildings can: be een a "Captain'-, Walk" The~e walks were constructed by sea captains on the roof 0J their dwelli'Egs se as to be able to view the ap-proach of .vessels as they sailed up the Neu. e • river to New .Be:t"'m..· Shortly befor e vessel were due, the captain or owner would go up to the captain's \.Vall\:, with field glass in hand" to watch t h.eir a,pp1·oach, and when they ho:ve in siglitt the captain immediately re­paired to the wharf to await the arrival of the vessel. New Bern is a-lso connected vYith wel1-pa ed road radiating in ever) direction.

At th present time, th ere is a substantial Democratic maJori­ty in both branch es of Congre s. The time may come however, when Congre .s will be overwhelmingly :' e­publican. I wonder if ihe Democi·atic voter of the country would f avm giving a Republican Congre.., ~ power to pass legislation favorable to the rTorth and West, even though it might be detrimental to the South and Tegar dles of whether .-.uch legi lation were con stitutional or not! I wonder if Republican voter would favor giving the Democratic congres that same power! The need of an unbridled judiciary became eminent­ly clear during t he dark da ·s of Reconstruction. A ma­jority of members of the CongTe ' were in the mood to punish t he r'ebelling South by the pa.:sage of numer­ous law. of a discriminat lT character. Each time the • upreme Court intervened with :it.. inh~rent right to declare t he statut uncon titutional.

If such a law is passed, wouldn't the minority rule in­stead of the majority? That is, if the vote of the Supreme Court, composed of nine .member , .should be six to three, the opinion of the minority, o:r three memb · rs wotrld overrule the opini n of si ~ of its mem­bers.

T is said that "i1g lre$ don't lie' but 'Ometirne · th y tell a shocking story. During 1935, we an~ tol-d that 27,182 workers in North Oaro­uua. lost more than seven days ti ne from w rk on ac­eount of an injury. Seventy-three lost their lives. Six hundred and fifty more permanently and totally injur­ed, and six thousand and one hundred and twenty-nine suffered serjous injury. If we knew the whole story it would i1erhaps read something like thjs: Seventy-five per cent of the in­juries was the re~mlt of unsafe pract·ce, therefore, could have· been pcrevented by care and foresight on · the part of the injured party or the upervi ors. When we ob,serve the careless acts of people at work in the home and on the high way , we are not so much astonished when we are told that during the year 1935, one hundred tho1:1sand people were accidently killed, and about two and one-half million seriously injur-ed. · Does carelessness pay? Two months of 19·36 have pa sed and those of us wh0 al'e living and have not suffered an injury, are wondering what changes will be made in the population of the United States before thi year shall have come to a close; who wilr be taken and who will be left. Let's bear in mind that careless act caus-e the lru'g­est per cent of accidents. Care and forethought pre­vent injuries. Which path ai'e you going to follow'? In all seriousness, sl'wuldn't we decide now, tomorrl-ow may be too late, to make safety .our first consideration? It will not be much comfort to our loved ones to hear someone say, as the ~ tand over the casket and lool into our face cold and stiff in death, "Dpe n't he look natural!

However, uccess comes to more people \.Vho posse great patience and en.ergy, and m--e ·willing to acrifice comf-ort and ease. ·when we read about Washington, Lincoln, Edison or any of the great men from Archimede to the pres­ent time, "luck" doesn't seem to have had much to do with shaping their live . Men that developed the steam engine, Ne,?ircomen, a black mith; Cawlev, a glazier; Potter, an eng'ne boy; and James Watt, an instrument maker, who worked at odd job · to upport Ius family, while he woTked ceasele ly at his invention. When the locomotive ap­~ ared it was hated. tage coach driver'S .claimed that it would take their johs. But for every stage coach dliver, the locomotive has given thou ands of jobs, with an increase in pay. Richard Arkwright, inventor of the pinning jenny, which ha helped to clothe the world and which has mult iplied jobs by the miUion, was a poor boy who never attended chool. But he was a hard worker and po.s es ed great patience and energy. 'William Lee, inventor of the sto.ck:ing frame, the ma~ ' c 1ine for making stocking by machinery instead of by hand, reaped sorrow instead of succe.ss. Knowing Queen Elizabeth's fondness for knitted silk stockings, he ecured an audience and showed her hi machine. The Queen informed the inventor that she must oppose the invention because it would depr•ive a large number of poor people of their employment of knitting by hand. - Mr. Lee -went to France hoping to r'ender to French industry a great service, but soon died in extreme pov­erty. Soon thereafter his son and some others went to England and established a great industry. Determination, patience, courage and hard work are e entia! to succes . :Most of u have failed because . •r e were lacking in these things. ' I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you pl"'esent your bodies a living sacrifice, lwly.,. acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable . ervice.

It rna be urprising to learn that we still have about 10\},000,000 a'C.res of untouc.hed forest land, and another 313, \JO,O{l·O acre cove1•ed by fore t growth of more or l s commercial valu . This may seem to offer a conside1·able s upply of lum­ber. But just stop a moment and consider our require­ments. Four million trees are cut eacl year for tele­graph and telephone poles. .Something lil e 100·,0{)0,000 railroad ties and 30.0,000·,000 fence post s are required in this country each year. It takes 50 acres of spruce tree to produce the paper on which just one issue of a big Sunda:y newspaper is printed. . . Oul' fore; t resources should be about ten times what they are to meet Otlr national needs for timber. We now imp01t most of our lumber, wood, and pulp from Canada, which constitutes just as much wealth lost to us. It is very easy to see, therefore, thd we have merely made a beginning in a fore.st planting and conservation policy. It is virtually impossible to overemphasize the importance of our fo:rests and the long-range planning it reqqi;res to give us what we really need along this l1ne . • We must build up an adequate forest reserve for the future.

Often these needs when suggested by persons-whose motives are g od, seem to be material. They deal with results rath­er than case-s ; with , policies rather than principle; with the ills of society rather than a deep and positive cure. It would be fine if we turned more often to the realm of the spiritual and the moral and allowed the faith of ou.r fathers to have its way and sway. With all defer­ence to the humble and self-sacrificing who are doing their part today to build a greater Arne iCa, it must be said with all kindness and candor that too mtlch of the time we do not have the faitl of our fath l:" , th faith and vision, courage and stamina o Vva hingt n and H· milton, Jeffer 'On and Marshall.

DO BETTER GIVE MORE NE thing distinguishes all of our very large and successful corporations, and may, more than anything else, account for their being large and su.cces.sful. They are everlastingly on the job of trying to d.o better and to g:ive the public more for its money. _ The individuals and corporations that top growing at a certain stage of their development, do o because at a certain stage of their development the~· decide that they a1·e doing pretty well, and that they are giving the public all the ervice to which it i en­titlecl. So few of us understand this art of efficiently exv ing self-interest as large cm·porations do. They are big in more ways than in .size. It is their concepts that are and that in turn make them big.

Tate Troutman comes through with the gleeful announcement .. that a daughter, Jan-ice J.o Anne, ar rived at his home February 7. The daughter tipped the scales at exactlJ 9 pounds, according to r e­liable reports, which is believed to be some sort of a record for other Bookmill prospects to .shatter if they can. The boys in the Bookmill area are wondering if John Hall ever signed his Asheville singing con­tract on the dotted line. It was eported reliably that John was of­fered a swell contract but he may prove to be another "hold-out" es­pecially at this season of year.
