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.

XXVI NUMBER 8 ' E CONOMY is no cure for waste; use is the word. The only cure for wa te is proper use. Economy is the rule of half-alive rninds. It is, of course, better than waste, but it can never be substituted for use. Use is alive, positive and active. It adds to the common good. Our interests are all locked up in the principle of use. There are two kinds of waste: that of the prodigal who misuses his substance, and that of the sluggard vvho allows his sub­stance to rot through nonuse. Both are creators of waste. rfhe strict economizer is in danger of being classed with the sluggard. The remedy in both instances is use. -Anon. • PUBLISHED BY "THE CHAMPION FAMILY" · HAMILTON~ OHIO : CANT'ON. N. C. : HOUSTON, TEXAS : SANDERSVILLE, GA.

Your Waste Paper Should Fight BALE OR BASKETFUL - - IF IT'S WASTE PAPER~ WAR NEEDS IT Home-Front Assignment! An implied challenge wa put to American industry to inten ify it already considerable waste paper salvage efforts la t week by the War Department. In disclos1ng that the Army wa lookin to indu try to supply the bulk of the heavy {Yrade~ of paper it r quire , the department spokesmen de­clared that most of the required grades of paper in rhe plants and mill of American industry must be salvaged for con­ver ion into containers for vital war u pplles. At lea t 7 5 per cen of all paper that was previously di s­carded, it was said, must be saved for reconversion if a cri .ical horta re is to be averted. Paper manufacturer noted that the grades of raper the Army need are those which can uti lize tb ,rreat st p r cent­pr portion of wa~te paper. · Use of the e coars grade of paper are manifold.

During 1943, the Quartermaster Coq s us d more han 3,000 tun of water-pr of paper al ne, and in addi ion it­lion of corrugated b xes were lined with it. Other rnajor purchase of paper items included 650 carload of wrapping paper and common paper bags, and moTe than 10,000,000 pounds of toilet tissue. Paper purcba e amounted to $70,000,000 or nearly 600,- 000 ton . Needs for 1944, particularly for packaging ma- • . - ,_ - , -- • I • • > f ' ---- , . .• .. terial, are expected to be g reater, in view of the growing nu.rnber of troops to be supplied overseas. Dead office files , brown wrapping paper; waste basket contents, paperboard containers of all t pes, outdated cor­respondence, and old personnel records are good examplev of waste paper that should be fi ghtinb.

There's big work to do and there's lesser to do, And the task we tnust do is the near. If you can't be a highway then just be a trail, If you can't be the sun be a star; It isn't by size that you win or you fail~ Be the best of whatever you are ! · Douglas Malloch . .. "These Are the Tin1es That Try Men's Souls'' Thomas Paine, Anglo-American writer and soldier, who served under George Washington during the A~erican Revo­lution., wrote a brief exhortation, which was intended to incite and encourage soldier morale, especially following d e­feat · in battle, the opening words of which were, "These are the times that try men's souls." These words soon became the battle cry of the soldiers of the Revolution. Today, as the blood of American men and wom€-n is tain­iilg the soil in most every country of the world, and are wounded and dying by the hundreds, almost every ho1u, truly , "these are'' also, "times that try men's souls." These are times that try and test oui· faith in the power of Almighty God-these are the times when \· e should turn to Him for succor. More than twenty-nine centuries a o when a great multi­tude frortt beyond the sea-the 1/foabites and Ammonites came against the I s raelites Jehosbaphat the leader f the people of I .· ra el, sought th Lord and prayed earnestly for help.

The thin that u ually hit the average man who comes into a spot where men have fouoht one another to the death for an ideal is the extremely peaceful though devastated appearance of the Ea rth and the -urrounding countr · ide. Everywhere you turn you see signs of struggle and de-truction but the turmoil has moved on and Natu re seems to be already starting to repair the _damage. As for the people who a re left, it eems that one can ee in their eye and 'manner a sort of mute and unspoken desire to knmv vvhy they, whose only crime was living in attempted peace and harmony, should so suddenly have their homes and po- e sions literally blown out from under them. Little children have in their eyes the look of old men and on· their faces · a strange look · of fear and indeciuion as though they weren't able to believe all their little eyes have seen, and while you know they don't understand the mean­ing of death you know they have become extremely fami li a r with it. The next thing that comes home to you is an extreme admirat ion for the men hose courage and indomitable fighting spirit made it poss ible for them to overcome an enemy so formidably dug in and thoroughly prepared o stay indefinitely, come what may. The American pe pie have every right to feel proud of the Infantryma n, Artil leryman, Tank­man and all the other f ot soldier who wad in and wrest in hand to hand combat, the territory our Airmen and avy have alrca ly ·o ftened.
