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.

A certain anlount of Social Security must con1e through Governn1ent. aid, especially. for S·easonal industry, but the founda.tlon .stone is and ahvays will be the efforts and initiative of private industry. Thl€ other phase of Social Security is the old age p~nsion. This is wise and necessary for many indus­trres and many groups ; here again the Champion or­ganization with its continuity of policy has not been found \-vanting. While our system of taking care of those \Vhose increasing years and lowered physical pow­ers makes necessary the abandonment of their former \,ork, does not exactly parallel that now offered by the Government, you will agree \Vith me that in no instance have we dropped a n1an of good rec<>rcl because of age or infirmity. The benefits have been provided freely and willingly \¥ithout governmental pressure, \vithout cost to the WOl"~ker and in practically all cases fully equal the amounts provided undet· the ne\V laws. As I have said in the past, we have endeavored to apply the t hree F policy. that is the policy of Frurness ; of Friendliness and of Faith .

On a hot July day Clt Camp Jackson, ·with the ther­tnorne ler 105 degrees in the shade, ana no shan(; in sirht, this lieutenant in a slouched pusi tion, and in H rather sof t feminine voice, said to his platoon: ··.t~x­C'(' flie those con1 mands as they ~ho ulrl be and not as 1 give them.'' So it has been with rnany execut ives of the past i11.'='o fat' a.s their safet y con1munds were concerned. But thank goodness not in Western North Carolina. Some };ay safety is a "d1·r,, sLtbject. Safety should not be a dry subject. To illustrate, one company in the past has killed f1·on1 one to :five employees each year until last year, when the. took the crepe off safety and not an em­vJoyee was killed. There is nothing dry about this aceomplishroent· Safety, to me, means life itself and the pursuit of happiness. Safet y might be compared with the automobile. An automobile is a hol'seless vehicle, regardless of the 1nake, model or design. But who wants to be seen on the high\vay in an Ol'igjnal model. \fe wan t a 1937 sb·eam-lined model. Safety must not be presented in its ol'igina1 modeL It takes salesmanship to sell automobiles. This salesmanship is something more than the automobile salesman calling and giving you a demonst1·ation in the latest model. T.he present day high-speed, h..tA"Urious ear is the product of many engineering minds, while the low price is due to efficiency and salesmanship. For salesmanship has created the demand, and demand has n1ade it possible to sell the automobile for the lo\' n1argin Qf profit, whi~h in turn makes it possible for you and me to enjoy this luxury. To create this demand salesmanship used ever~· conceivable means of presenting the good qualities to the public billboards, posters, c:atalogs, booklets, ad­vertising in newspapers and periodicals, as \rell as tbe persuasive ability of salesmen in person and pep sale~ meetings· All of which n1eans that the manufacturer. the de­signer and engineer have to dt~ess the old t•horseless carriage" up in a ne"'· model each year to maintain the public intere~t . This same principle must be applied to aJet~· or the subject does become dry. Just as the present day automobne is not the pr<'­duct of one mi11d, .safety is not and never '""ill be tht product of one mind. It is the collective result of eo­operation fro1n the ' 1top-boss" to the floo1· sweeper. The "''top-boss" rnust g·ive the authorit~ to design and engineer a safety progrnm. He rn\lst "'how al'tnal interest and lead. It is necessary fot all ."ube' eutives to put it into eff ct \.iihin their d ep~n·tnl nts by leading and :.~t the samt' tin1e enlisting the interest and coop­or AliOil of aU entplo.vees.
