Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Paper and 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.

The War Dogs are taught to do many duties in combat of which Don is not allowed to re­veal. However, he can say that Direek will work to the b t of an ey or w ve of a hand if and only if it is his. These dogs are f d the best of beef rounds and cerea • groomed at lea t once a day and have k nnels ht for you and me. The entir routine is carried out by the trainer of each individual dog. The lives of these dogs depend upon their trainer. and are appraised aa being worth two to three men in combat. So you can see that War Dog is a very responsible job.

F hillips, 1t1aster of Ceremonies, in a few well chosen words. introduced I\1r. H. A. Helder, plant ~anager1 who made the opening address, Mr. Helder said in part: " For many weeks, the world anxiously awaited the announcement of D-Day. The day upon which the allied a rmies would start the invasion of Continental Europe with the hope an.d purpose of bringing Germany to real1ze her defeat as inevitable and thus bring to an end \Vorld War II.

F ollowing the response by Mr. Gates, the Fish Brothers Quartette sang several favorite ballads. The climax of the evening was reach­ed in the annual message by Mr. Rob­ertson and the awarding of service pins to the incoming members. Knowing that all Champions of all divisions are interested and for the benefit of the members of this group who are serving in the armed forces of our country -and could' not be present at the meeting, we quote the full context of Mr. Rob­ertson's annual address to this group. "Some of you heard the story that Senator Hoey told the other ~ight at the annual meeting of the "Y", but for the benefit of those who were not pres­ent at that meeting I'm going to _ re­peat 1t.

For them, life does not go on in the same old way. They are in strange surroundings, away from friends, sub­ject to unaccustomed discipline and very g reat dangers. To meet war emergencies, we have had to rever e the t eachings of peace time. We have had to take boys essentially kind and considerate and make killers of them. We have had to make them under­staNd that in this grim business, of war, they must kill or be k:!Jed. That, in the army, they lose their identity as individuals. and become mere cog in a ·fighting machine. _ This is really an unnatural attitude towards life and stern di cipline be­comes necessary to make jt e:ffective.
