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.

Century Plant, Or Agave· Americana, Native of Mexico and Central America · 0~ the cover of thi . issue of TnE LoG) is a Kodachrome picture of a Century PI.ant, a species of the amaryllis family, generally knm n by the name Agave Americana, or Ameri-can Aloe. . · ~he Agave Americana, or Century plant, is a native of Alfex1co and Central America. Along with forms of · cactus and yucca, agave forms the characteristic American desert • ve.geta twn . . ·The Century plant is a remarkable and beautiful plant wrth a trunk, base, or head of large fleshy leaves, which are spiny at the margin. From the midst of these fleshy leaves, shoot up a stern, sca pe, or column which grows 20 to 35 feet high, and at the ba · e frequently a foot in diameter, along which are lance-like flower branches, ending in clusters of blossoms several th ousand in number. After flowering, the plant always die down to the a round, but new plants spring up from the ro t . In native oil the plant usually bloom , in its eventh or eighth yea r, but in hot-hou es it rarely blooms until it i- 40 to 60 yea rs old. ~Thence arises the st ry that they flower only once in a hundred years. . Although agaves a re dec rative plan in some part of the country, in their nativ~ home in l\1exico they are amon the most useful plant .

At Last, The Life-Span May Be Lengthened Many Years With A New Serum Good new· if true for men and women who are nearing middle life, comes out of Russia; according to the December 1945 i sue of The Ladies' Home Journal. An article by \Nilliam L. Laurence, tells us about a marvelous new setum developed by Prof. Alexander A. Bogomolet , which will preser e phy ical and mental alertne s for tvventy to thirty ~ ears longer than the present a\ erage. nThi erum,\ sa 1v1r. Laurence. "is th first to promise a break against the degenerative processe and accompany-ina chronic disea- that begin pa t middle life. ' For many years, it eem Prof. Bogomolets reasoned, that "ince the normal duration of the life of animals exceed the period of it growth by an average ratio of 6 to 1, man's normal life span hould be from 120 to 150 years. For man's bones continue their growth for 20 to 25 years. In hi studie , P rof. Bogomolets, we are informed, dis­covered that the vast network of elastic tissue in the bodv ' known as "connecting ti sue," the tissue forming the inner and outer lining of the organ of one's body, ''in individuals who had reached a ripe old age were invariably in a remark­able t ate of preservaticm.' Further studies led Prof. Bogo­molets to the re olutionary conclusion that the structure and condition of the connective-tissue cells-particularly those · cells forming what is known as the reticulo-endothelial y tem-ti ue which bind togeth er, is the basis of the various part and or an of th€ body. He wa al o convinced that "this connective-tissue wall between the blood and the cells, was the central power sta-' tion of life from which emanated the all-important -bio­chemical activities for keeping the body young, and pro­tecting it again t di ea e. It was, in sum, the veritable 'fountain of youth regulating the basic-metabolic process of life." Prof. Bogomolets rea oned, if some means was found to kee. the connective tissues stimulated, these tissues would become ufficiently young ao-ain to throw off t heir own poison, and the rejuvenated tissue w uld again function as when it and the body were young-it would deliver nece, sary food again to the cells re tore re istance to di sease. as well as to senile change such a hardening of the arteries, arthritis, kidney trouble, high blood pres ure, and even cancer. Bogomolet began experjments in 1937, fir t on animals, and then on human beings over fifty y ears o'f: age, and on June 23 1941 , announced that hi serum wa perfected. It is said that "th - erum ha alread>' been applied with success in the treatment of thousands of patient ." · Watch Yourself Go By Ju t stand aside and wat h , ( nrs 1f go by !

The basic reason for painting any plant interior is to get the mo ~ t out of both natural and artificial light. Improving · · the appearance of the plant, will increa se the ··e:fficiency o-f the employees and inspire "good housekeeping." vVhite paint on · ceilings, overbead struc~ures, and · up pet waJls, provides indoor sky, it conserves. and diffuses - light. Seeing is made easier and the psychologiCal ·effect are fav­orable in various ways. The efficiency, safety, comfort, and morale of the workers are enhanced. , Primary·. pt1 rpose of a white interior is to make s~eing q uick~ easy, safe, accurate, and comfortable. The enviton­. ment sh ould be pleasant, cheerful, and e~sy on the eyes of the-wo·rkers. ·. ·T here is rio justification for· blac;k paint or other flushes which· absorb light. Dark colors are co1Kealing and encour-age waste, disorder,. and uncleanliness. . _ . . . The protection of str uctural steel, steel tan~s, p1pe lmes, steed beams and columns, should be carefully mspecte"d and special care should be exe-rcised in preparing all steel surfaces. prior to painting. Rust surfaces should_ be thoroughly clea~­ed and priming coat immedi-ately applied before ru t agam fo rms on the surface. .

If we expect more wages with more leisu re, there eems but onl one way-that is, we must pu into our job the kind of work that will enable business to pay us more money. In order to urvive, business mu t produce and di stribute goods at a fair profit. A busine that fa ils to produce more and better goods at fair pri-ces, is bad for that business and every worker in it. Therefore, bu iness cannot pay more wage than our work i worth. ~! hat we want, and what we get, is determined largely by what we give. We do not get omething for nothing. If busine s were to shorten its working hours and ut down its production to such an extent that the price of O'Oods produced were so hi h customers would b ~ unable t buy, it would be too bad for the busin ss and all empl yees n its payroll. · To on can make it p ssible for us t r c iv , very long, m re wage than ur w rk is worth. n ·'s v ry job itself depends up n the ability of tl · tsin ss to ati ~ fy ct. tomers.

Since the war's end- with the lifting of gasol ine restric­tion and speed control -there ha been an alarming rise in auto fata li t ie-, s alarming in fact that it ha caused safety experts to predict: ''Unless the safety program as it relate to tnotor vehicles i intensified, and unle s radical changes take place in . our driving habit , it is almost certain that the deplorably high figures for the pre-war year will soon be back again." Even with curtailed driving during the war, according to the National Safety C uncil, in the period between Pearl Harbor and V-J Day, motor vehicle casualties totaled 3,394,- 000, as again t America's battle casualties of 1 ,070, 52~ more than three time a many ! . True,. it i n't always the driver who is to blame. A great many accidents are caused by pedestrians; but by far the great bulk of them are the direct result of traffic violations and ju t plain inattention on the part of motorists like our~ selve . It all seems to prove that most of us aren't the safe drivers v e think we are. In other words, it would appear that we are taking too much for granted. Perhaps it is time to do a little checking up on ourselves. For instance, see ..~ow you measure up on the following 10 questions then ask yourself, "Am I really a safe driver ?" ' 1. Do I keep my mind on my drivina ? 2. Do I anticipate the action of othe~s ? 3. Do I keep my car under con tant control? 4. Do I always , tay withi_n safe speed ? 5. Do I bey traffic ru le& and keep to the right? 6. Do I always give the neces.sary hand signals? 7. Do I obey the traffic la:ws, igns, and si nals r . Do I alway keep a watchful ey for pede tri.ans? 9. Do I keep my car in safe operating condi i n? 10. Am I .a courteou,· driver? . Here's a Check List for Safely An~ in connection with question _ 1, 9, h r .~s a handy cheek h t. \Vhy not go over the following item , one-by-one, and :n,aybe you 'll find ·. methi.Ag tb at really ne · d attention . . For 1nstance, how are your Brakes? Li hts? T ires r H rn? \Vir\d hidd \Vi r? • t ering Mechani sm? E hau t? Ignition? M~ b the · dfJ.n't seem very important, &.ut an un.e of those Items could spell a nast accident f y u if rou were too bu y -or n lect d tCJ at e11d t it. Go d hou ew1ves l ve a thorou b hou e-cleanin v ry s £ten---particularly in he ' . I\ ~~"·~ \ \ Spring. Good drivers do the same thing, only they call it a car overhauling or checkup. · Safety experts and stati sti cians can talk from now until the end of t!me abou.t motor vehicle fata lities and the accident · toJl, but all their efforts to cut the cost in human lives and in'jut-ies won't mean a th ino- without your cooperation. After all, the. record we make in reducing accidents is right smack up to you. \iVhy not start to whittle down that accident rate by being a safe driver yourself? Your Social Security Benefits Don't-Stand Still • To make sure you get all the benefits that may be due you. under old-age and survivors insurance, you should get in touch with the nearest office of the Social Security Board when you reach 65, rega.rdless of whether you intend to re­tire or not. There are some important matters you should consider. Maybe you should file your claim for benefits even tho.ugh you intend to keep on worki·ng. · The amount of a benefit does no.t · stand still. Benefits are tied to earnings. They depend primarily on the work­er's average mo-nthly wage in covered jobs. And after 65 earnings from such jobs are apt to be les than before.
