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.

XXIX NUMBER 6 . Our Cover THE PAINTING By permission of the Metropolitan Mu -eum of Art, New York City, we ha ve reproduced on the cover of our magazine this month a detail from a Cassone Panel by a follower of Pesellino. The panel from which the detail on the cover was taken, is shown above. This panel depicts the story of the Argonauts after they arrived in Colchis. You will note, it is painted in the continuous style, with many scenes taking place in the same picture. At the lower left, Jason, at the head of his band of heroe and demigods, , presents himself to King Aeetes, from whom he hopes to obtain the Golden Fleece. The extreme right shows a part of the palace and Jason kneeling to the king; at the foot of the stair he is mounting his horse, and farther to the left eros i ng the draw­bridge. In the middle, we see the Gro e of Are with to\-vered wall, the Golden Fleece hangjng from its central tree. Beneath it, Jason is busy kiUing the knights spruno- from. drag n's teeth. At the left are Diana and her hounds, a piece of Medea's sorcer. and the Argonauts on the shore. The detail, shown on our cover is a part of panel near the stairs at the extreme right . • TliE ARTIST Pes llino, 11, -is the ni A namte of Fran esco de Pes llo, a great Italia-n painter of the Florentin.

They aban­doned the moon month and created the arbitrary months as we ha\ e them today by dividing the year into twelve periods as equally as po sible." They had 12 months of 30 day each, makino- a 360-day yea r. But later discovered the 360-day year wa five days short of the real year. The Babylonians The Babyloni.ans also divided the year into twelve months, the month into weeks of seven days each, and the day and night into hours and minutes. They invented the undial to tell off the hours by day, and the water clock to measure the hou rs of darkness. The Babylonian astronom­ers foretold eclipses of the sun and moon-di vided the zodiac into twelve signs and named the zodiacal constellations. The zodiac-an imaginary belt in the heavens, 16 degree broad, including the paths of the moon and all the principal planets and, as its middle line, the ecli ptic, or sun's path. The Zodiac Two ..

J uliu Caesa r s ,~a lendar had 36) days, but every fourth year he made a Leap Year ' of 366 days-he thus as umed the year to be 365 ~ days-which in reality, is about 11 minutes an~ 14 seconds less than 365 ~ days. Thi is called the J uba.n Calendar and be_gan on J anuary 1 45 B. C. which Is sa1d to have been Fnclay. .According to the ] ulian Calendar, J uly, named after J ulms Caesar, had 31 day , and in 28 B. C. Au ustu Caesar, who had become Emperor of Rome, did not like the month of August, named after him, to have only 30 days, while July, the month named for J uliu Cae ar. had 31. So Augustus ordained that a day should be taken' from February and added to August. And in order that three month of 31 days each should not come together, Augustu reversed the length of the four succeeding months-that i , took one day from Septemo -: r and added it to October, and one day from November and added it to December.

Blinking May Save Your Life As we read the above title to an article recently, we · thought the writer had ref:rence t? nature'~, m_eth~:>d ,?f pro­tecting the eye from foreign part1cles by blmk1~g: . . We know that "blinking" has saved many ey es from InJury, as well as kept out foreign particles that woul_d have caused a _ lot of grief. But the _writer of ~h.e article_, ~~~ Ar~hur Hall, a British ophthalmologist, a physiCian spec1ahzmg m the stu dy and treatment of defe.cts and diseases of the eye, approaches the subject of "blinking" from an entirely different angle­that of saving one's life. In the Lancelet, an English Medical· journal. Sir Arthur Hall, says, "Blinking may save yo.ur life: as for example when you are shopping and a hat m ~ wmdow. across the street attracts your eye. If you start to jaywalk nght t.oward that hat a timely blink takes your gaze rnomentanly off the hat ~nd lets you see the approachina bus or taxi . "The possible life-saving blink was a reflex, involuntary act in respon. e to a d!lnger war~in g received from the ~orner of your eye, but wh1ch you mtght not have heeded tf the blink had not shut off the vi si n of the hat. "Even more common it is suggest d, are blinks of a simil a r ty pe where the warning is not of danger to life. bu~ of something in your ~ urroundings which warrant keepmg your eyes and ears and other en e organs on the alert. The e blinks are seen in t ates of n ervonsnes and excite­ment. "R eade rs blink at punctu ation ma rk ~ and phy ical gaps in the te :t, such a turning th pages. Good r ad er blink more often than poor ones. "There i n uch thin~"> as an ave rage ra te f blinking-bu t normal persons when held in con er ario n, blink at the rat of twenty-five per minute.

July Fourth Nineteen Forty.-Six ,(Is life Jo dea r) or peace .so s"ueet) as to be purclz.ased at the price of chains and sla:ve1·y?) --Patrick Henry. Independence Day is something more than a day for exploding firecrackers, and making a great noise-true. it is a day for rej oicing for celebrating. Patri ot ~ of 1776 fought for freedom, and that freedom was bought at a great price- shedding of blood and death upon the field of battle. "War is hell" said General Sherman. Truly it is-but crimes against humanity; the lu st of war; the craze for world dominion; atrocities and barbarism uch as we have he.ard of during the past several years, the refusal to correct such wrong would have been worse than the war through which we have just passed. ] uly 4-th, 1946, should find us resolved to go forwa rcl confident that a great pas t mean a gr eat future. Therefore, we must keep ·what is worth k eping-the spirit that built America. . On the 4th of July, 1776, the D eclaration of Independ nee was adopted-the thirteen American colonies d dared their 1ndependence nf Great Britain. On June 7, 1776, Richard H enry Lee of Virginia introduced in the C ntin ntaJ C n-gress the famous resoluti n ''That tbes -nit ~ d C Ioni are, and of right ought to be, free and indep ndent tate , that they are absolv d from a ll all iance to he British crown, and all polit ical conn c ion be ween th m and t h tate of Great Britain is, and ugl t t be otalJy 'b8olv d." These resolutions were s coo_dcd by J ohn Ad m . ll July 2, 1776, Lee's resolu tions riven abo , w r' pc sscd and on July 4th the Declaration of Ind 'P nd-·n draug1 t d b · Thomas J efferson wa ad pted, by a v tc -f all th ~ loni s, save ew ork which ratified jt m July 9 1776.

Th fir t t en amendments to th onstitu ti n o f h United tates-the Bill of Ri ghts a, it is called, i ~ a guar n­tor o f our ind pendence, therefore worthy f our s riou consideration on this Independence Day.

Every Man For Himself "And the Devil Take the Hindmost" . Just a few m~nth s ag when men were givin their lives m .clef n e f their country and sac rifice after sacri£ce wa ~erng made by those on the home-front, self was forgotten m the mad. ru h to .beat the enemy. But, today the tide of selfishness 1s sweepmg the country-the whole world seems to have been transf rmed-the surrender to materialism seems to be universal. No longer is there a spiri t of service, of devotion to the ca:use 9f all of us ... The scramble for power, for material thmgs, and for pos1t10n has taken possession of the world. The pursuit of profit, wh~ther it be by employer or employee, has slowed-up reconverswn and left the world in a state of chaos. The voice of reason seems to be dead-the tendency is, look out for self-get ali you can, and "let the devil take the hindmost." . During: World War II,_ men gave their live for a prin­crple- to liberate all mankmd, and bring peace to the world. But, instead of "peace on earth/' today, selfishne rules the world. \IVhat is the answer? Perhaps, God only knows. vVe read in the Bible-"seek peace and pursue it." J esus ~aid: Ask, and it shall be given you ; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. vVe wonder if th matter of our future p ace and happiness has be n tak n to God in earnest solicitation ? Are we trusting Him to guide us into a la ting peace?

Some Specific Suggestions In conserving food in ymu own horne, there's no need to sac rifice on proper di et or nutrition. America s611 throws away more food than any other country in the world. It is estimated · that 5 percen t or one slice out of every loaf of bread baked every day goes into the garbage pail! _ So you can conser e food, especially bread. Also cut down on the use of wheat produ ts, such a ' macaroni, spaghetti , wheat breakfa st ce reals, pies, cookies and akes. First of all buy 40 percent 1 ss ·of th ese c m.m diti es.

This Is a Machine Age I read somewhere, that "in Napoleon's time, it r~qu!red about fifteen farm workers to keep one soldier or sailor sup­plied with food." Today, with modern farming machines, one farmer can produce -sufficient food to satisfy the needs of twenty-five soldiers o-r sailors. A century ago it required ab0ut sixty-five hours of labor to produce one acre of wheat; today it requires only two and a half hours. As a result of modern machines, farming today is not only done much faster, but with less fati gue. In fact, some of our modern machines are able to perform certain tasks that no human being can, and they do it while the operator looks on. Labor- aving machines produce more goods in a given period of time, and at les cost, thus the manufacturer is able to sell his goods cheaper. Con equently the consumer can buy more for the sam money. As a result, the manu­fa cturer, w rker, and consumer all profit, yet, there are people in this modern ave who condemn labor- aving ma­chines. .
