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.

Morocco At the pre ent time we are par:ticularly int~r~sted in North Africa- that is l\1orocco, Algena and Tums1a. Morocco, called by the natives .Niaghrip al Aksa, is a Mohammedan empire, consisting of the kingdoms of Morocco1 Fez, and the territorie of Sus, Ad rar, Draa, and Tafilet, wnh an area of approximately 300,000 squa re miles. About 200,000 square miles of which are in the Sah_ara Desert. Mo~occo is bordered on the north by the :1\.-ledtterranean Sea, with a 300 mile coast line. And on the west and north by the At­lantic Ocean \V ith a coast line of about 1,000 miles. On the east is Algeria and on the ou~h . the Great ~ahara De ert, which covers three and a half milliOn square miles. The Atlas Range of mountains extends acros th terri­tory, in seve ral ranges from south we t t northeast, thu BUY A SHAt! t RMERI Buy War Bonds and help win the war (2) • • forming a vast hilly r riun. me of the 1 ,aks ri ·e to an -1 vati n of 13 ,000 f et and are cove red wi h perpetual now and i . 'I he mountain are c nnect cd with h ea with rolling alluvial plain s, which are v ry fertil e, but only a small p rtion i ultivated or inhabited. Along the Nlediterranean coas t for about 200 miles are tbe rugged profi.le ca lled the " Riff I-fill · which u ually end in Jines of cliffs broken at interval by narrov.- strip of sandy beach. These sometimes open up into fertile vall eys. There are wild b easts in the mountains, uch a lion , leopard hyenas, wildcats and bears. In th_e low count!·y the wolf, wild boar and gazelle are found. F tsh are plentiful, and the country is rich in minerals-gold, ilver, copper, lead, nickel, manganese, iron, petroleum and phosphate _. Fruit-beari.I?g trees include the date palm, walnut. fig, oltve and the OJl­bea ring argon. Some parts of ~1orocco which are protected from the hot winds of the desert by the Atlas ~ fountains, and where the sea-breezes prevail, have a temperate climate. But the in­terior valleys are very hot in summer ,and in winter ice and snow are not uncommon. The cultivation and use of tobacco is forbidden by the Sultan and no animal can be exported without his permission. The population numbers 6,000,000. About 3, -oo~OOO ~f whom live in 'the French Zone. The Berber-, who mba bit the mountain regions are the original inhabitants and the backbone of the nation. The Arabs, descendants of tho e who invaded the country in the eventh centur ' , inhal9it the pla ins. Some parts of the country as well as the towns are inhabited by a mixed race of Berber and Arab generally referred to as Moors. Nearly one-fourth of the population of most of the coast towns are ] ews; with many refugees from Spain and Portugal. There are al 'O a considerable number of negroe who '\·ere brought from the Sudan a slaves. The territory or empire of Niorocco ha three capi­tal -Fed. population about 75,()(X); ~1arakesh, r th e city of t..tlorocco, with a populati n of 140.000; and 11ekinez., population 36 00.0.

The J opulation of Algeria i about 7 ,000,000, of w.h!om about 900,000 are Europeans. Besides the Europeans. then~ re eight distinct races of inhabitants in Algeria..

Algiers, the capit al and chief port of Algeria, is situ a t ed on the coast of the Mediter­ranea n , on the shores of a large emi-circula r bay and ex­tend ing back onto the slope of high h ills five hundred feet above the sea . The city is di ided into two parts-the Old or H i,gJ1 Town, a nd t he New or Low Town. The Low Town section of Algiers consi. ts of wad s, wa r eho u se ~ , government hou es, squ are a nd streets, buil t and inhabited by the F rench. T he Old Town is almost wholly Moorish. Algiers is the milita r y and civ il h eadqu arte rs of Algeria a nd the chief port of the p rov ince. The population is a bout 250,000. Algiers has an excellent Climate and is a favorite winte r r esort for Europeans. T he city has ra ilway connecti ons with Oran , Constan tine, Tu n is and other coaf>t towns. Oran is 260 m iles southwest o f Algiers, and like Algiers, it is also d ivided into two parts-the Old Spa ni:sh an d t he • 'ew French. The h a rb<Jr of Ora n. i one of the bu iest on the Mediterra nean. P opu lation about 145,000. The City of Consta nt ine, the capital of tl1e province of Con stantine, is 288 mil es ea t of AJgiers. It is connected by ra il with Ph.illi ppevil.l e, Algier and Tunis. T he city of Constantin.e is situated on a rocl y eminence 2,100 feet above seat Jeved. and ent i rel.y isolated on tb ree sides by the deep and narrow channel !fl which the Rummel River flows.

Tunisia or Tunis Tu~isia , one of the Barba ry states of North Africa, has been Irtce 1 81 a dependency of France. It is bounded on the west by Algeria, on the north and eas·t by the Mediter­ranean Sea, and the Great Sahara and Libya de-serts on the south. The greatest breadth from east to west is -about 150 mile , and the length from north to south about 300 miles. The total area is 5 0,~0 square miles. The population is about 2 800,000, of wh1eh number 175,300 are Europeans- 80,500 French, 94,800 Italians, and 2,625 ,000 natives. The native inhabitants are chi efly of Arab and Berber stock. .

The mineral wealth like that of Alcre ri a, is considerable. Agriculture is the chief indu try of Tunisia two-thirds of the area of the count ry is suitable for cultivation-and the chi ef products a re wheat, barley, corn, oats, and cotton; with fruit and olives in the south, and grape in the north.

That is why we have ration ing-to provide our fighting foree" v.:rith everything they need w win and to guarantee each of us at home a fair share of everything that i ~ left. Every American is familiar with rationing, through the sugar, co:ffee and gasoline rationin programs. Durino- 1943, more things will have to be ra1-ioned.

New Barking Technique D·eveloped at Ontario Disc very and perfecti on of a new proces to be used in the ren val of ba rk from pulpwood-one that promise to revoluti onize the prod uction of t imber, bas been accomplished by Alex R. \rVhite, P ort Arthu r, secretary of the Lumber­men's Safety As ociati on, acco rding to the _ T ews-Chronicle of Port Arthur, Ontari o. \rVhite said recently he ba received a Canadian patent for the process. He ha appli ed for a patent in the Uni ted .._tate . As far back as 1928 White conceived the idea that th ere ought to be some way of removing bark from pulpwood other than the present mechanical drum barker method, which, while it has served the indu stry well, tends to tear and brui e wood by the application of too much force. \rVhite had an idea-that the eas iest and best way in which bark might be removed would be fou nd in a process res ulting from the study of plant psysiology and he et to work to better understand the movement of sap in trees togeth er with the seasonal change which take place in the life of a tree. Accordingly he found a method applying the use of chemicals to li ving and gro·wing trees . _ Growing trees are chemica lly treated with a rina attach­ment during May, June, J uly and Auaust, the growing seas­on, as it is known here, with a combination of expensive chemical , nonpoisonous to man or animal, introduced into the stem of a tree. The chemical enter the ap stream and are conveyed by the proce s of o mosis to the top of a t r ee, attaching the crown bud, destroyina the protopla m o th at the growing cell die from lack of food.

Captain Holzberg r left here De­cember 22 and in a letter to a fri end he ·aid that "s.i1 ce arriving, I have been in a breathless whirl of acclimat­ing myself to new face , names, scenes and customs and have had very li ttle time of mv own." His letter continues : • "Though I li ve in Denver, the work i located on the plain s.* * * The place is huge, the bui ldings being spread over an area of a mile by one half mile. There are about 150 offi ers stationed here 'from General Laucks down and they are all high g rade men from re­sponsible civilian positions. Only four are regular army men. Soldi rs are military pol ice. * * * "Though we actually put in only eight hours a day it sometim es can run to 16 or even 24 hours if things must be done. vVe are always on call and cannot leave DenveT without per­mission. So far it has been interesting and exc it ing and I have a feeling I am contributing a little to the war. Nev­ertheless, I hope your expectations that the wa r is about over will prove corr'ect and we can all settle down to a rela­tiv& Jy qu iet old age. "Please remember me to all the boys."
