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.

Our Cover, Picture i,./ A/eep The reproduction of the fan1ous painting "A Girl Asleep,'' by ]. Vander Meer Van Delft, on the front cover of our magazine this month, "suggests a drunken scene. The girl has been drinking and is definitely mellow, though she st ill seen1s able to focus on the coins the cavalier has droppe_d into her hand. In contrast, the young w01nan appears only to h ave lingered at the table over fruit and a glas of wine and to have dozed off, a thing which might happen to anyone, for she evidently is not a servant girl; the lines of her brow and oval face bespeak good fa1nily, and her reddish brown dress is of rich materiaL' The picture \as painted during 1650, when the artist was in his • twenties. It is said, the admirers of Vander Meer love to pick out the ob­jects repeated in his paintings the lionheaded cha1r, on the right, the little white Delft jug, on the table, the rumpled rug, and cupid holding up a letter. After nearly 200_.- ears this painting reappeared in the sale of the collection of John . aterloo Wilson of Paris in 1881, and is now in the Altman collectioh in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. · , ... , ' - ' • > " JAN VANDERMEER The American Encyclopedia Britanica says: "Jan Vander 1\1eer (Ver­meer. of Delft) is one 'Of the excellent painters of Holland about whom the . Dutch biographers give us little information." Other writers tell us-"that of the life of this man, one of the cost coveted of all painters, the records are scant in the extreme." However, one writer says, "So · seductive in Vermeer's (Jan Vander Meer) craftsmanship that within recent yea rs his works have been ap­prai ed in terms of the greatest masters. His paintings are among the rarest treasures in art; only thirty-six have come to light and should a new one be discovered it would make a bedlam of the auction market. But rare as he is in tl:l.e number of his extant works, he is eyen rarer in that property of paint known as quality. Technically speaking, he p-ainted by concentrated observation, with a preternatural ability to disti ngui h value and to11es." · • It· is al o said that ~e worked unusually close "wea ing his piO'ment and blending hi tones into a harmony of blu es and yellow , into a surface which has the lust r of ivory, the texture of enamel) the virginal purety of cool water.

It is so much to the point in latterday production and selling that we are plea ned to pa s it on to our readers. Job security is the basis of prosperity and the intelligent application of the principles of sound production and selling is a subject of top importance today.

You will note that there are fi e T hursdays in November this year which will, of course, cause confusion. Due to an act of President Roosevelt in 1939 which proclaimed the third Thursday in 1 Iovember as national Thanksgiving, and in 1941 Congress passed a law settiug the fou rth T hursday in November as official Thanksgiving Day. In 1864, Abe Lincoln, President of the United States, official1y proclaimed Thanksgiving Day to be the last Thurs­day in November, and for 7 5 years, the people of t his nation lifted their voices in prayer and th anksgiving to God on the same day for the many bl essings whi ch they enjoyed during the twelve months just pa t. Of course it doesn't matter what day in the month or week we give thank to J ehovah God for bl essings received, but the idea of offering our thanksgiving in uni on seem to be a good one and perhaps, it is plea 'ing to God. Many of us would of ou rse, obj ect to hangin r tl e ob­servance of Sunday to some other day in the w ek,-no because it would be contra ry to the law- Rcmemb r the Sa bbath and keep it holy', because w are not sure th t .we are observing the righ day in he week{ but we ~re.o.bs r mg one day in seven, or should, and that 1s wha Goa 1nt 1 d d we should do.

In fact, the death rate of people who are as much as 20 per­cent overweight is appreciably higher than average! It is a toni hing how gradually overweight can creep up on you. Don't let it! Excessive fat places a burden on more than your two feet ; in fact, it is frequ ently a contribu­tory factor to high blood pressure. Overweight makes your heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, and arteries work harder all the time. It tends to increase your chances of developing di eases of these organs-and dia~ct~s, too! Obesity is usually caused by eating more food than the body can use up. :rviost of the excess is simply stored up a fatty tissue unless it is burned off in work or play. In other words, too much food and not enough. exerci e gene rally make you fat. Occasionally, of course, excessive weight is due to a glandular di turbance, which requires expert medical atten­tion f r correction or control.
