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.

Then the plane returns about 1,000 feet above he \ ater and drops the life boat to which three parachutes are atta hed, and with a ljght spla h it drops into the sea near tho e to be resc ued. lf the boat lands upside d wn, a secret device inside of the boat will right it, and a , mall anchor is mechanically shot out to steady the boat and prevent it from drifting away too fa t. At the same tjme, 75-yard lengths of light line are automatically hot out on either side for the crashed flyers to pull the boat in with. According to 1v1r. Ga kill's story, the bomber circles over­head, watchfully, until the stranded flyers are afely in the boat, then the men in the plane blink out the compass course and lead off in the right direction to safety and home. The life boat has outboard motors- sails, compass, charts, a·nd detailed waterproof instructions. In waterproof con­tainers are dry clothing, -elf-heating hot water bottles, cig­arettes, chocola_te, food, fi sh ing tackle, etc. 1-1r.

In hi book, "\Vhat AU the World' A Seeki ng," Ralph \ 'aldo Trine said happines i not gained by seeking it, but • making othern happy. Benjamin Franklin, one of the great ea rly Americans, aid: , .There are two ways of bein happy. \Ve may either diminish our want or augment our means-either will do~-­he re_-ult i the same; and it is fo r each man to decide for him(;elf and do what happen~ to be easje t. 1If you are idle or ick or poor, however h ard it may be to d.imini ~ h your wa n t~, it will be harder to augment your mean . If you are active and prosperou or young and in lOud health j t ma be easier for you to au o-ment your means "1ran to dim'i Rj~h yoUJ; want . But if you are wise, you will o both at the arne time, young or old, rich or poe> r, sick or . ·ell; and if you a re very wise you will do both in such a way o auer-mem the general bappine s of society." ince ha -pi ne i nece arily the supreme obj ect of our desire~,-th at which we are all eeking it is well to remember -:'1 word of Nathaniel Cotton, the third verse of the poem, • The Fireside': Hif solid happiness we prize, \ ithin our brea t this jewel lies, And they are fools who roam. The world has nothing to bestow; From our wn selve ou r joy must flow, And that d ear hut, our home. ' Douala · Jerrold said: Happiness grow at our own fire­s: de and i ~ not to be picked in tranger 'gardens.

From the thousands of inquiries addressed to the Ameri­can Social Hygiene As ~ociation, I am convinced that people in indu try are eager for information about the venereal disea es- bow they are caused, how they can be detected, bmv they can be treated, and how they can be prevented. \Vork1ng men and women are of the firm opinion that every­body should know the facts about VD, ju st as everybody hould know the facts about any other catching disease. Syph ilis and gonorrhea are acquired by a well person from an infected person, primarily tb rough sex relations. I'v!any people are innocently infected. \Vives may pa s VD on to hu band J husbands on to wives, and, in the case of syphjlis, infected mother ' may infect their children with con­genital syphil is. Milli ns of people in the nited States today are affli cted "iVith_ th ese di seases, J\,fany of them don't know they are infected. Others suspect tbey a re in-fected, but don't go to thei r private physicians · or t clini cs f r examinations and treatment. If only they would, they would spare th ·mselves needless agony~ possibly death. And wr at about the millj ns who ar not infected: Sur - ly, they want t remain infection free.
