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.

It is ' ' said, he began to draw early in life, but none of his sketches have been preserved. His first known pictures are of two Spani h dogs, and two portraits, the latter painted when he was thirteen years old, and now in the Redwood Library, Newport. In 1770-71, he received some instructions from a Scotch artist named Alexander, who took him to Scotl~nd in 1772. Two years afterwards, Stuart returned to America and painted portraits in Newport, Rhode Island, and Phila­delphia until 17?5, when he sailed for London, where for a time he played the organ in a small church. In 1792, he re­turned to America, and early in ·1795, Stuart painted his first picture of George Washington, shown on the cover of this magazine. It is said that Gilbert Stuart painted three portraits of Washington, but this one exhibiting the right side of his face, is undoubtedly the truest of the paintings of Washington by Gilbert Stuart. The second was a full-length portrait, and the third a Vignette head. • Gilbert Stuart's paintings, which number about 215, are aid to be remarkable for strength, dignity, and rich color and are to. be found in the chief museums of the country. The portrait reproduced on our front cover was loaned to us by ] he Metropolitan Museum. of Art, New York City. Mr. Stuart remained in Philadelphia until 1 03, when h r moved to Washingt n; two years lat r, h settl d in Bo,­ton, where he died, July 27, 1828. • PUBLISHED BY "THE CHAMPION FAMILY" HAMILTON.

' The Basis of World Peace "God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in ·trouble: therefore we lvill not fear." {... Therefore all thing wha t ·oever ye would that need ~ hould do to you, do ye even o to them: for this is the law and the prophets. ' This, for ages, has-been ca lled the Gold­en Rule becau ,e it embodies the rule of action, which, if human beings always followed in their dealings with each other, there would be no more wars. The words - "God. is our refuge and st rength ; a very present help in trouble : therefore, we VI ill not fea r," was Vi-ritten in a time of nat1onal distress like that of today. ­The enemy was approaching J erusalem, - the people were in a panic, but there was one in the great throng lll'ho was calm and unafraid, who said "don't forge t God, Remember, the Lord of hosts is with us." H H itler and the German people had followed the teach­ings of the Golden Rule instead of nazii sm, bow different would be the story of world conditions today. And if we have world peace it wiH he on the basis of the ''Golden Rule", ,established by J esus Christ, nearly 2,00G years ago, t here is no other way. You wi ll note tt1at Je us does no say, it is a good rule to follow~ that it is in accord with the prin­ciples of the Divine order i.n the law and the prophets, but it IS th.e law and th prophets.

B e ter, ho.usmg research execu ive of the Pardue n.iv rsity Re-earch FOlmdation, claims "A heati.ng system cl.oes not really impart heat to a. person, lmt it is only a means f r controllin.g the rat at which the body lose . heat- the body must lose some heat but must not cool off too fast.'" According to 1\Ji r. Hoester, "the body must lose 400 heat uni s per h our or the body temperature will rise and endanger life.'" Heat, we are inf rrned, goes out from the body by radia­tion and is absorbed by the walls of the building, furniture, etc., so, the idea of the future house is to treat the inside walls, furnitu re, etc., so that they reflect heat from the body similar to a mirror- rather than absorb the hea . It is thought . that aluminum and treated glass might be the · proper material for interior walls, furniture, etc. e:ientists are now working on creating such furniture and material for sidewalls of buildings which will reflect the heat of the body, rather than allowing the heat of the body to radiate to the interior walls and furniture that would prevent heat los.ses by radia cion. . It is also suggested that for summer comfort, a refriger­ ·ating device be provided to keep t he house cool. ''A blanket­less bed {or the near futur e," :Nf r. Boester, explains i the purpose of the ·research laboratory. ''The new kind of bed won't need bedclothes; over the bed will be a radiant panel that is a source of energy. The energy input to the pand i control€ld by a variable switch.
