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.

He has alway, been considered a "square . hooter" and during his management of The Champion Fibre Company, has gained the confidence and goodwill of bis employee . This confidence, we feel, has not been misplaced but can be depended upon in the future.

(See phot ograph above) . In 1771, about five year,s before t he Declaration of Independence, difficulty arose between the Regulators (an association of men bound by an oath to pay no more taxes to the British Government until they were satisfied that the levies were agreeable to law; and to pay no officer any more fees than the law allowed) and Lieutenant-Governor Tryon, who assumed the reins of government shortly after the death of Gov·ernor Dobbs. Irt order to coerc th Regulator • into obedience to his comrn.ands, Governor Tryon purchased fr m Charleston, South Carolina, three or four loads of muniti m; of war, consistjng of gunpowder, f lints, tc.

They immediat 1 un­loaded the wagons, stove in the kegs, threw the powder, flints , etc., into a pile, tore the blankets inti) t r ips, placed them on the pile, made a train of po\ der a con­siderable distance f rom the pile, and Major White fired a pi tol into the train , which produced a tr m ndou e 'plosion.

Yours very truly, WILLIAl\1 BA TTISON. ple were the first to set in motion a movement that ended in. the independence of the American people. Th~ spirit started by the "Black Boys of Cabarrus" coo­tinue4. to grow and spread and finally manifested itself in a declaraUon of independence at Charlotte, North Carolina, on May 20, 1775, about one y,ea:,r before the Declaration of Independence by the people of the Unit­ed . · tate was written. Whee1er1s History states, "In the transac-tion of burning the powder, those who were engaged (with the excepti0n of Hadley and Ashmore) gave their country a sure pledge 0f their attachment to the cause of li­berty, which they faithfully redeemed, whenever their services were needed.

Do you observe closely and. catch minor re­pairs before a breakdown occurs'? A breakdown may, · quite often, be av·e.rted by a careful in~pection of :rna­c, hines and mi-Iil.Or repairs made. A breakdown not only adds to the cost of r~pairs but interrupts production also. We sh.ot~Jd beru· ·in mind that the cost of repairs can be controlled to a large extent. Therefore, each of us should observe clesely for conditions that might lead to a breakdown and correct such condition~. if po-ssi­ble, or report such conditions to the foreman or superintendent at once. . However, if in due time nec­essary repairs are Rot made remind your foreman agai:J. of suah conditiDns and insist on necessary repairs. Re­member, the attention of the foreman is called to many things each day and he might forg€t. ~ Do not insist on spending money for changes o~r equipment that you can get along without. Unless we can sho'W substantial gains to justify changes or new 6\EJ:Uipment we should not ask for them . Bear in mind that we are all affected more or less b_y: the cost -of production, whether we think so or not. Therefore, '"'e all should be iJJ.terested in reducing the cost to a minimum. T·he Hospital Association A RECENT report o.f the Executive Commit.tee of the Champion Ho::;pJtal Association .shows a won­derful improvement during the past twelve months. Accorqing to the report, on November 11, 1935, the liabilities of the Association were $18,787.07. Dming the past twelve months this amount has been reduced $11,420.74, or nearly 61 per cent. 'the repo~rt also states that all expenoos incuned during the past fiscal yt:a:r have been paid, and the As­. ociatio.n is on a sound financial basis. The Hospital Association was organized to aid Champion employees to m~t hoo:pital and . urgical ex­penses. Very few ·people have sufficient l'eady cash to pay bills ineun·ed when hospitalization and surgical operations are necessary. The Association covers a great need, and every Champion employee shoilld be a member. ''I hear that AnguS5 lYLacPhe:rson lives a good cl an life. Wfiat a remarkable character?" "Remarkable nothing!

'That Jov which prompted God to give "His n l ., begotten "on, that whosoever believeth in Him should not · rish bu • • have everlasting life," revives that w.hich is good within us and we are, too, prompted to try in a measuret to imitate Christ the Saviour by ''going about doing good." Christmas is the happiest time in the year for ev­eral reasons. First, because it is the birthday of Christ w.ho gave His life upon the Cross that we, through faith in Him, might have life eternal. Second, because . it is one time in the year when we lo'Ve to do something for others we realize that "it is more ble ed to gi -e than to receive." Third, because of the joyful atmos­phere everybody is happy and expressing greetings of joy and good cheer to eacn other. Then there is St. Nicholas, the patron saint of chil­dren whose name has been corrupted to Santa Clau '. Those of us who have grown oJd in years are not . too old in spirit to enjoy Christmas. We hope we never shall. Therefore, we hope the spirit of Chri tmas shall never die and that Christ shall alwaj s have first p.lace in our hearts·.
