Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion 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.

Phillip ales and profit are things in v hich every elJ1ployee, ··Nhether execut1n~ or · perator in a manufacturing plant, should be intere, ted. Thes two things effect wages, working conditions and determine the life of every enter­prise. Unless the financial r . turns are sufficien t to justify the inve tment, .no busine , can continue to exist. In other words, stockholders cannot afford to operate a busine s that is a lo ing proposition. A business must make mone if it continues in opera­tion very tongy and in order to make a profit the goods manufactured n1ust be sold at a price in excess · of the cost of production. . . Sales depend upon the · production of goods that people want and at a price they will buy. Goods that please are not hard to sell, though the price asked may be slightly higher than an inferior article. Bear in mind that it is not. the price altog,ether that governs sales, but .~he quality of good offered for sale. In d1e manufacture of pulp and paper, the same thing is true. '\t\l'hen an order is received from. a customer, he specifies the grade, color strength, etc. --:- HE KNOWS WHAT H.E WANTS and it is up to us to please him. If . we do not, we lose a friend, a custom~r, and the sale of our product. Therefore, it is obvious- that we 'Should , always strive to give our customers wb.at they want. :we are their servants- they mu t be satisfied, pleased, or they . will buy their goods elsewhere. \Vhile no one is under obligation to buy from us. yet we know that if we produce pulp. paper and other commodities of the best quality, at a n~asonable pri·ce, there will always be a market for our product. We m.us also bear in mind that good 1nust b pro­dnced at a cost that will p rmit us to sell at a profit. It doesn't matter how good our pulp, paper and other products may be, unless we ean find sale for our produ t at a reasonable profit, the whole propo 'ition i a failure. That b ing true, it i . ab olately es entia I that e Cl1' empfo . ee do his or · h€r be.t to p.roduce the ery fine t grade f goods, and at the lov..· st I rice poS&ible.

THE WHAT ABOUT THE RUS 'IANS AND THEf.R • C01\1MUNIST. PHILOSOPHY? Since it seem impo:si· ble these clays to look at a newspaper or a magazine and not f ind some sort of an article ab u.t the Ru. sians, we thought this might be a good time to take a closer look at Russia- from_ a single standpoint- for the purpose of comparing life within their borders to life in America. N anually, there is no doubt in most of our mind about the multitude of advantages which accrue to each and every individual An1erican. But too often our rea­sons for such an assun1ption are intangible . and are not backed up by any fa cts. So let's look at the picture from the s-tandpoint of what the average Russian worker can buy with his weeks pay compared to the purchasing power of a weeks pay Feceived by the average American worker. . This information is from a Federal Bureau of Labor · Statistics r eport . ori wage and price level in Moscow. If we use .$115 rubles as a full week's pay for the average Russian worker and .$48.86 as a week's pay fol' an average American wor ker in industry, the followin~r facts show up: 1. The Russian can buy 22 one-pound loaves of bread with his full week's pay- the American can buy 394 loaves with the same amount. 2. On the s;ame basis with sugar, the Russian can bu 16.9 pounds while th e American gets 503.7 pounds. 3. For butter, the Russian can purchase 3.8 pound ·, the American 70.3 pounds. 4. I f i t's sausage, the Russian end up with 5.3 pounds against the American's 94.5 pounds. 5. \Nitll J'nilk, $ 115 rubles b u ys 15 quarts '>Vh1le $48.86 buys 2'76 quarts. 6. I<~ or a ra Iio of sin~.pl e design th · R us ian must work fo r 15 we ks. Our American can buy 2 or more radios with one week pay. 7, TI1e Ru ian .must work t' o or three \veeks to buy a pair of ho .

TilE VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM at :Hamilton Champion, for the y ar 1946·47, ·ended with the annua1 banquet in the Y'\1VCA audito:riunJ, June 30 . K y Champion personnel, instructors, trainees and guests numbered .more rhah 200 in attendance. One hundred and sixty-six individual received State diplomas or Con1pany certificates. It was the (:umulation of many hours of study in one or n1ore of ·the 14: subjects con~ stituting the over-aU Vocational Training Program. Aside fro1n the regular courses under State or Com­pany sponsorship, 23 ex-servicemen completed 'one' or m:ore semesters in Business Administration, a credit €arn­ing college training course, conducted at Champion by Miauii University and paid for by the Veterans' Admin- . . ~strati on through the Gl Bill of Rights . . . As evidenced in the banquet talks and according to . . a recent report from the American lnstitute of Public Opinion, adult education interest is taking on rapidly ~ ~ -ill our country, The George Gallup Poll also reveals tl;lat only the lack of low cost adult educational pro- . granis prevented ou.r schools from becoming as crowded . ' with grown-ups in the evenings as they are with children . - during the day. · Champion has and shall continue to strive toward · providing its employee with an adequate Vocational TFaining Pro.gram at a minimum of cost on the part of the latter. To prove that adult ed ucat.ion interest is 1nore wide~ spread today tl1an ever before; a eoast-ro-coast survey in 1944 found 34 per cent of those queried ·expressing a desire to e·nroll in such a progTam~ as cornf ared to 41 per cent today.
