  • 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 month and a day after the C coanm Grove fire, an old hotel in yracuse was destroyed with the lo of nine live an.d a proper­ty darnaae of over a million dollars. In ca e you think these fires un­lL uaL take a look at what happened in the fir t week of June this year, the late,t stati ·tic avai lable: Three war plant ·were destroyed in Seattle with a lo- of $rO,OOO; a rayon plant was burned to the round at Cumberland, Maryland, with a los of $500,000 ; a railroad freight depot \vas destroyed at Great Bend, Kan as, costing $153 ,000"; a roup fire at \Vallington, New Jersey, meant a lo of more than $250000; a refri gerator plant at · .1iddle Amana, Iowa, ~~~ a destroyed, costing $250,000.

They de­layed production. The hindered the war effort. Can't Blame It On Sabotage In two da y t ime in April, 1942, the lo ses were: a bu siness block in Rich ­mond, Indiana los $300,000; a Lumber mill in Portland, Ore on, lo $ ~ 00 ,- 000; the bu iness di st rict of Kewanee, Illinois, lo s $1,650 000; a d part- {25) ment store in Jane ville, \i\Tisconsin lo s $300,000. · · It might help our self-pride to feel that orne of th is was the work of sabo­teurs but we haven't even that excuse to fall back on. The moSt strenuous inve t igation in all of these cases, both by the Nati onal Fire Protection Asso­ciation and the F. B. I., has fa il ed to make out a single case of sabotage. The fire-protection people maintain that (( tal?e a chance ' philosophy is re.­sponsible for the trend. We are build­ing in a hurry and we are building- big. We throw up the largest structures we can build, many of them not provided with fire-protection appliances, and if there is a fire at all, it burns up every­thing. La t year we had over 700,000 fires in the United States, approximately 30,000 of them in war plants. Nothin? ve ry technical or mysterious caused thef!l. Approximately 125 ,000 can be attnbuted to careless smokers; anoth­er 100.000 were due to failure to main­tain heating equipment and chimneys in good condition · another 60,000 were caused by poorly maintained electrical equipment; 25 ,000 of them were due to careless handling of gasoline and kerosene; and anoth er 25 ,000" were were ta rted. by a stray spark igniting a pil e of n.1bbish that shouldn't be there.
