  • 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 Rhododendron is prized for its decorative effe~t. · · Some species are hardy in the Northern States. The Rhododendron nwA-imum is ·said to be native as far north a~ Nova Scotia, and is found as far south as the Malay Archipelago and New Guinea, but unless of recent discovery, it is not found in South America or Australia. . The purple Rhododendron is perhaps the queen of all , flowering shrubs, or tree~. Some of the shrubs attain a height of twenty feet or more and quite often, the shrub or tree is literally covered with beautiful wax-like flowers, six or eight _ i-nches in diameter. : Purple Rhododendron Catawbiense} gro"ws profusely in - the mountains of Western North Carolina, and begin-s bloom~ ing about the first of June.

An advertisement in­variably starts as an ide:1 in someone's mind. It may originate - with the adverti ing agency, or with one of the executive . It rna'- be the brain child of the Advertising l\!Ianager him,elf, or of one of the folks who work 1n the Advertising Department. Or it may very possibly .come from the suggestion of an employee or a member of the mer~ chant salesman organization. To pass muster an idea for an advertisement must an­swer a lot of pertinent and pointed questions. \Vhat pur:­pose will it accomplish? Is it informative on the product? "''a1 the reader fiFJ.d it helpful in his business? Can it he · prepared dramatically enough so that it will command at­tention ? Does it make sense, both to the Company and the pro pective purchas:er of the product? Is it true? Does the product need the promotion at the present time? Does it conform in every way to ethical and good business con- . sideration? Once the idea' is decided upon, the production technicians are brought in. The artist submits sketches for illustration of the advertisement. The copywriter puts the idea into effective language. The typographer pick a pleasing type face in which to set the copy, and the ·tayout man arranges the various elements of the adverti ement: the headline. he copy space, the trade mark aod signa ur ' th ilhl tratio ' the white space, so that the wbol will have a pleasing and attracti' ve appearance.

"The Way of Transgressor Is ,Hard But, ''God Shall Be Thy Shield .And Buckler" The once proud and arrogant dictators of Germany and Italy: Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini , who promised their people great empire and world domination, have been forced to drink to the dreg the bitter cup of "wormwood and gall," wh.ich they o freely administered to all who refu sed to obey their mandate . But, the day has come; the dreadful reckoning which they never expected would overtake them, and at last they have pa id the debt to outraged society­" and thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenge." Remember, "man never fastened one end of a chain around the neck of his brother that God's own hand did not fasten the other end around the neck of the oppressor."- The visitation of the doom of righteous law. Hitler and Mussolini imposed upon the people of Ger­many and Italy a herjtage of disaster that must be borne by generations of Germans and Italians yet unborn. With the end of \Vorld \Var 2 in Europe, and as the maze of quietness settles down over a once proud people, broken only by sob of the bereaved and cries of the huncrry and wounded, will the peoples of these unfortunate countries realize how senseless is the \ hole idea of building great em pi res and striving for world-domination? Their .Plight to­day, shou ld be a le son to the peoples of all nation - \le wonder!

Profit is the incenti e to put forth the efforts to attain or accompli h some spec_ific t~in~-achieve a . definit.e end. Pro­fit incites men to act10n-1t 1 the urge tha~ dnves men on until the goal i reach~d. It i. the power b hmd e:rery move­ment for good or evil. Des1re for. profit, . or gam 1r: some form caused men to brave the m1ghty deep and discover conti~ents; it ha , and will contin_ue to urae men and women to form companies and pool then reso~rces for the manl!­facture of material and goods e sent1al to our dome ~Ic economv. The arne urge i re ponsible for the teel rails spannir1g the continent, transporting frei ght _and human .be­ing ' into all parts of the country. It al o bu~lds great sh1ps, develop harbors, dig out the channels of n vers and sen~s ships laden with valuable cargo ~o the ends of the ea rth; It digs down into the earth and bnngs forth the valuable ore, coaL and oil; in fact it has furthered our k nmlirledge and use of the material which God created and placed here for our u ~ e and for the benefit of mankind. Bot, oftimes in the hands of men whose li ves are r uled by greed and avarice, profi t becomes a selfi sh and unscrupu­lous monster; it enslaves the poor a nd oppresses the weak­it is then profit becomes an evil thi ng-a d angerous thing. In that sen e, profit becomes a lo to t he one who possesses it, for said Jesus to his disciples "vVhat is a man pro£ted, if he gain the whole world and lose hi s own soul." 'What Jesus is saying in the text-neither gold, nor silver, (}f preciou stones ha any value, if in their attainment one 1oses his own soul. " Lay not up for you rselves t reasures on earth-but lay up for yourselves trea sures in heaven." Great riches can be a great blessing if used properly . Profit, when placed in the hands of a good person, can be a real blessing to the peopl.e of a community, but in th e hands of men "who fear not God, nor re ard man," it may be a dangerous weapon.

It IS quite true that some t~i?-gs ah~:mt the service are on the tradltlonal tde but most Army and Navy ways of doing things as well as saying t~ings are stream·lined and mo re e.xactmg than we were accustomed to in good old civili-an days. One good example is the military way of" telling time. Civ­ilian time runs ·on a twelve hour by day and twelve hour by night or A.:N1. and P.M. plan. Army and ·N avy runs from OlOD to 2400. In other words a civilian's boss or better half could tell him to do something at 1 :00 o'clock. There could be a misunderst anding as · to whether the order was for 1 ·: 00 A.M. or 1:00 P . .NL But in the Service the order would be for either 0100 or 1300.
