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.

A Christmas Message " Peace on E arth, Good Will to men" is a sentilnent that is and should be uppermost in our minds as ~ e enter this Holiday Season. We a re no longer at w ~u. The days we so hopefully dr amed about and so earnestly struggled for are here, but ' Peace and G od Will" arnong the N arion of the World has not eome and is still far away. Here at home 'Peace and Good Will" is readily within our grasp if we but reach for it with sufficient detern1inat ion. The simple christian virt ues of Tolerance, Consideration and Friendliness will make P eace and Good Will a rea lity and not merely a fond hope, if we will but apply them faithful,ly in all of our daily contacts. · · Peace and Good Will point the way to true happiness. It is our fervent wish that the year ahead will be one of great happiness for all Champions. L'envoi By R udyard Kipling When earth's last pictu re is painted, And the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors h ave faded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it-lie down for an eon or two, 'Till the ~/laster of All Good Workmen shall set us to work anew! And those that were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair; . T ey shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comet ' hair; They shall find real saints to draw from-Magdalene, Peter, and P aul; They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all! . And only the Master shall praise us, and only the I !laster shall blame; And no one hall work f r money, and no one sh all work fa:r fame; But each for the joy of the working, and each in his separate star Shall draw the thing a he sees It for the 10Q of 1hings , as They are !

The Alamo, shrine of all Texans Tex·as Becomes State On December 29th one-hu-ndred-and-one years ago~ Texas) the "Lone Star State," was admitted to the Union. Today, it has a population of approximately 8,000,000. Texas, as every school-child knows, is the largest state in the Union- 825 miles wide and 740 miles long, with a land area of 262,398 square miles-water area 3,498 square miles, or a gross area of 265, 896 square miles. It has 254 counties. The capitol is located in Austin, and the largest city is Houston. The early settlements and explorations in the State of Texas were made largely by the Spanish adventurers from Mexico. However, the first authenticated visit was made by some of the survivors of the expedition of Narvez, who reached the region in 1528, after an arduous journey from Florida. . Perhap the best known of the Spanish-Nfexi an expl rers are Coronado about J 540, and E.p j in 1582.. In 1685 La­Salle, attempted to enter the mouth of the Mis iss ippi, and plant a colony in French t rritory, but landed in ead at Matagorda Bay, and establi hed tl e Fr n h - l ny of La­vaca, which soon peri hed. French settlements confin d alrn t enti ely t ] suit missions, were begun about 15 82. di _pure b --r~ een th Spaniards and French came to a d o e with the French - sion of Loui iana to Spain in 1762.

As I ~efiect upon it, I confess the thought is not pleasant- a feelmg of adness come over me as if a part of m life i gone forever. Parting w-ith old friends with whom I have worked and for whom I have wo~ked for more than forty years, is,' per- ~ap >. best expre sed .;n the following ~o r ds of Shakespeare: A famt cold fear thnd through my vems, th at almost freezes up the heat of ljfe." However, the many pleasant memories of my association with Champion, will linger with me down through the years, for, .it was here some of the happiest days of my li~e were spent; and , if I. were privi leged to pass this way agam, I should be happy mdeed, to cast my lot with the Champion Family. As editor of THE Loc> whatever good may have been accomplished, if any, I give God the credit. For without His ble sings and help, I realize my feeble efforts w~uld have been in vain.
